Hello again everyone,
Today we're presenting you the first update of many to come updates for ROTR version 1.87. ![]() The Bloodhound is a Panhard VBL equipped for scout operations. It utilizes infrared and sonic scanners to detect even the most well-concealed infiltrators and is armed with a 20mm autocannon (compatible with anti-personnel flechette rounds and standard rounds) and anti-personnel fragmentation grenades to eliminate threats. Reasonably well armored versus small arms and artillery fragments, it relies on chaff dispensers to evade anti-tank missiles. Fortunately, the chaff dispensers can also be used to shield heavier targets from missiles, making the Bloodhound a valuable addition to ECA armored divisions. And further more some cool screenshots showing off some new stuff: ![]() ![]() In the first screenshot we can see the Grizzlies using their new ability called "Frag Burst". This ability will fire several frag grenades directly above the Grizzly which shower the surrounding area with lethal shrapnel. This proves devastating to nearby infantry for both friend and foe but does not have any effect on vehicles. It is worthy to note that this is a manual ability and has a pretty lengthy cool-down after each use. Second screenshot shows off the new model for the Littlebird which has been improved with a three-barrelled rotary cannon that can pitch downwards unlike the old model. Also this upcoming sunday we will be doing a live stream of our internal beta of version 1.87 ![]() Countdown for the stream: http://goo.gl/JbYKLH Be sure to tune in if you wish to see a sneak peak of some of the new stuff we've shown and more! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

I guess that Bloodhound will replace Marksman for other generals in 2.0

Bloodhound is a completely new vehicle -i have a question for bloodhound; if it is a dedicate stealth detector, will be the end for mobile sensor array? What niche does it fill? it is similar to pandur, anti infantry vehicles? Same. Bloodhound does not replace anything. And as stated in the description, it's a scout vehicle with good anti-infantry capabilities. -------------------- |

Keep in mind that this unit has been added to give ECA some mobile options, in addition to missile countermeasures via chaffs. This helps also against factions that rely on missile based damage like GLA.

I guess that Bloodhound will replace Marksman for other generals in 2.0 ![]() About Littlebird: You removed my precious miniguns? My little 6-barreled beauties?! nope. Everyone gets to enjoy the bloodhound party. as for the old miniguns, bro, they look and work way better now in game. You'll love them more ![]() if it is a dedicate stealth detector, will be the end for mobile sensor array? What niche does it fill? it is similar to pandur, anti infantry vehicles? Its basically a light support vehicle. It was originally added to deal with late game gla issues, but its role was expanded. You'll be using a lot of these things as much of ECA has been rebalanced around their effects and so they aren't really filling niches as they are becoming the meta. created cuz mizo keeps losing to aziz ![]() shit, the truth is out ![]() -------------------- ![]() Many thanks to IvanMRM for my avatar and Star for drawing my epic signature.

I thought (hoped) before reading it was active defence on Griz. Won't grenade be functionally identical to some ECA abilities?

Is the anti-missile defenses automatic or a manual activate ability like ammo track's and harrier's one?
I wish it's the former and not the later. This post has been edited by X1Destroy: 14 Apr 2016, 9:49 -------------------- We Die Standing.

I thought (hoped) before reading it was active defence on Griz. Won't grenade be functionally identical to some ECA abilities? It's think its more akin to Sentinel Arena shrapnel, just manually-activated and doesn't destroy missiles... Unlike ECA canister weaponry where you can pick whoever you want to target..
