Once again welcome to our next segment of the Race for 1.5. As the release comes nearer we continue to show you the latest updated models and new units we will release along with the newest version of Rise of the Reds.

Let's go on to show you some of the latest updates to the Chinese arsenal.


This new line of the standard Chinese bunker that resembles more a turtle than a defensive installation is expected to phase out the older model completely by 2037 while the predecessor will stop being built by 2035. Some Chinese commanders have become very fond of its appearance. It's construction is far more efficient and a mere amount of Red Guard can help in its construction.


The new generation of China’s lead spewing automated defense turret has been improved with cutting edge electronics becoming one of the most accurate weapon systems ever devised. Infantry, aircraft, vehicles and tanks, they all eventually fall before the never ending barrages. Speculation has come about that these new systems are far superior than the previous models, able to spot hidden infantry faster, some say however that this is merely a false fact since it's brand new and is not actually proven.

Once more, this has been our third segment in our series of updates just before the release, see you tomorrow for the next update.

Gattling Turret looks so cute XD
and fucking deadly, I love it!

Awesome work there. Re. the Gatling Cannon: Kermit the Frog....he's back, and this time it's personal!

Posted by: Beef 9 Jun 2009, 1:57

yes those are awesome re-skins indeed. also are those tallies that represent the update number reminiscent of a bear scratches or is it just me?

Posted by: Comr4de 9 Jun 2009, 2:02

!

Bloody gold right there.

Posted by: Mcbob 9 Jun 2009, 2:33

Now that's a really beastly looking bunker.

It wipes out the old one completely.

Posted by: Anubis 9 Jun 2009, 2:37

Awsome stuff ! The sandbags on the bunker occupy the whole space beetwen those 4 legs and it would have been cooler imo if they didn't, but still looks awsome. I guess the cannon is pre- chainguns upgrade, and if so ... could we have a screen of the upgraded one ?

Posted by: Destiny 9 Jun 2009, 2:42

Those things look DEADLY >_>







...I'll be lookin' forward to blowin' them up

Posted by: Kirasama 9 Jun 2009, 2:43

Looks very awesome

but the question: will the arrow still make the bunker have its door aiming at the enemy like in vainilla generals/ZH? because i am really sure bunkers dont work that way

Posted by: Admiral FCS 9 Jun 2009, 3:02

Awesome.

One question though: It's construction is far more efficient and a mere amount of Red Guard can help in its construction. This is just a lore writing, right?

Can't wait to play 1.5, well done.

China's defence lines stop looking bland and start looking interesting with these models - there's little I can say other than that these bring their subjects up to the excellence of their newer compatriots and showcase your dedication to quality in doing so.

Posted by: Zhen 9 Jun 2009, 4:03

The Gattling Cannon looks far more deadly and menacing, just read the description of and I've got a question, is it just visuals or does the Gattling Cannon do more damage to tanks aswell?

Posted by: Серг 9 Jun 2009, 4:22

awesomeness right here.Nice job...

Cheers
Поздрав

Nice update

I'm guessing the reason for the new bunker design is so that you can easily see the difference between garrisoned and ungarrisoned, right?

Posted by: Papaya Master Rai 9 Jun 2009, 7:33

Nice chinese defense updates. I'm really looking forward to play the next release.
EDIT: Is it just me or the middle of the gattling cannon looks just like a frog head...

Posted by: silence 9 Jun 2009, 8:35

Nice, I love how you resembled the Bunker's to turtle's. Haha

Posted by: Crazykenny 9 Jun 2009, 10:41

Astounishing updates guys

Posted by: Lord Atlantis 9 Jun 2009, 11:26

Wonderful update guys. Loving the refurbished models

Posted by: Shock 9 Jun 2009, 12:57

Nice stuff, I wonder if the sandbagged bunker is something like a 'fortified' bunker version. But alas as ROTR doesn't sport the normal ZH generals anymore we'll just have to wait and see.

Posted by: mbob61 9 Jun 2009, 12:58

The liking that new bunker design, that's a great improvement.
However, for me although the Gatling cannon has an awesome new model, the skin doesn't seem to flow very well in my opinion. There are lots of different colours which don't blend with each other very well.
However, overall, a very nice update

The sandbags are for the garrisoned state, just like how the current bunker will show sandbags when you garrison them.

Posted by: Sgt. Mjr. Jazzie Spurs Kid 9 Jun 2009, 17:24

Epic Gatlling Cannon. ;3 Nice work
Wait, USA, Russia, China, tomorrow ECA Eupdate?

Posted by: Destiny 9 Jun 2009, 17:51

Nah, I bet it's a civvie update where garrisonable structures don't have mirrors anymore

Posted by: MR.Kim 9 Jun 2009, 18:52

Can't wait tomorrow new update.

Keep comming!

Posted by: NergiZed 9 Jun 2009, 21:24

That would be awesome since an ECA update would have stuff that's not in the internal betas. I'm just dieing to see some new ECA stuff.

Posted by: Sgt. Mjr. Jazzie Spurs Kid 10 Jun 2009, 1:23

I know what your suffering is

Posted by: Beef 10 Jun 2009, 3:52

I see what you did there :read:

Posted by: Suvorov 10 Jun 2009, 18:58

The bunker really does look like a tunnel.

Posted by: ΓΛPΤΘΓ 10 Jun 2009, 20:05

New bunker looks awesome, Gatling got UPDATS but it is just me or not, the bunker looks really weak to me.

Liked the new defense of CHINA. But a question:

The Gatlling Cannon will receive a damage buff against tanks and that kind of stuff ?

Posted by: CommanderJB 14 Jun 2009, 5:18

Most units with a visual change will remain unchanged stats-wise, and the Gatling Cannon is one such.

Posted by: NergiZed 14 Jun 2009, 13:33

Fix'd

Sorry for spam, but several people on Moddb have commented that the bunker, especially the empty one, looks like a turtle. The more I look at it, the more that that statement seems true.

Posted by: ka1000 14 Jun 2009, 14:17

wasn't that intentional then?

Posted by: The_Hunter 14 Jun 2009, 16:09

it was not actualy

Posted by: ka1000 14 Jun 2009, 16:50

o right, i thought i read that somewhere

it's really clearly visible though, the four little legs and the little head... i dare say it looks 'cute'.

Posted by: The_Hunter 14 Jun 2009, 17:04

yea it's actualy something that became obvious after i finnished it

Posted by: partyzanPaulZy 14 Jun 2009, 18:42

These are really nice models you made, all of them.

Posted by: Raven 15 Jun 2009, 10:39

Can red guards build a bunker instead of the dozer?

Posted by: DerKrieger 15 Jun 2009, 22:19

No, the dozer still builds bunkers.

Posted by: Overdose 16 Jun 2009, 0:45

Remember guys that the real life laws apply to the lore while the game itself has its own laws. For instance: A single bulldozer or person is capable of building a big and elaborate building in seconds. That only happens in the game.

Posted by: Pickysaurus 16 Jun 2009, 1:39

Lol at that ^

If ever red guard could build a bunker. It'd get stupid.

Posted by: Destiny 16 Jun 2009, 1:57

If RGs could do that, I'm sure China'll dedicate a part of it's army for a 'Red Wall', and you'd literally see a Red Wall of China outside your base.


...why does the roof of the bunker be tipped/sharp?

Posted by: CommanderJB 16 Jun 2009, 4:15

Perhaps to make bombs slide off? It'd be stronger than a flat surface if braced correctly. Plus it keeps the rain off.

Posted by: Lord Atlantis 16 Jun 2009, 9:09

Its kinda like why tanks have slanted armor plating. Its to have the shells bounce off instead of having a more damaging direct impact.

But who cares about realism like that. Its like that cause its cool
