In bold where I can reveal you are wrong. There is more, but I can't reveal.

Thanks Maelstrom, thats all i asked for.

The thing with volunteer squads for all china generals and veteran company/specialists for all usa generals were unexpected though.

By the way, a loong time ago the goshawk unit was supposed to go to charles. Im guessing that is scrapped? If yes, is there still a possibility for charles to get a new aircraft?

Posted by: Emin96 11 Jan 2019, 5:18

didnt saw information that say that is scrapped, it will go definetly to charles in 2.0 as it planned

Posted by: Neutrino 11 Jan 2019, 17:27

I'm asking because I can no longer see the model of the goshawk on moddb.
Is it still somewhere online?

Last I heard it would be reworked. Its ICE bombs would be scrapped. But not sure about the models.

IMO it looks unique the way it is now. Not everything have to be a typhoon or harrier clone just because "modern".

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 12 Jan 2019, 14:56

Moddb is strange, you cant go back a few years unless you have the link of the image or post, because of this the Image and memory of the super secret Russian unit is forgotten by many

The Goshawk will be coming to Charles, no changes in that aspect but the final model may see some adjustments alongside its abilities

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 14 Jan 2019, 13:30

Where's the picture?

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 14 Jan 2019, 19:27

Well I got something I used in a stream, a modern replication or recreation of the old Image but not the one on the site, will that do?

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 15 Jan 2019, 11:59

Anything will do!

Posted by: Zaytsev 15 Jan 2019, 16:16

Does it have an indication when the ROTR 2.0 mod could appear?

Posted by: ULTRA Faff 15 Jan 2019, 23:06

I've been watching this mod since the start including Shockwave and I'm really worried that it's died of death, not single update in ages, Hunter normally gives us SOMETHING to droll over ;(

No digging, just expressing my worry!

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 16 Jan 2019, 17:44

Ahem, uh... Bruce? Any chance I'll ever get that picture?

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 16 Jan 2019, 18:02

No, but It will be coming Soon...Good things take time

Don't worry, and please be aware that there are things happening, the moddb page hasn't been touched but the mod is not dead.

Trust me on this Good things are coming soon

As promised: The (new) replication of the old Super secret Russian unit that is coming!


But what it is,
What it does,
Anything about it is unknown
All I can tell you is that god have mercy if you encounter this "Thing" in the future

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 16 Jan 2019, 18:21

You gotta be joking... What the hell is that thing!?

Some kind of a crusher? And it looks more like a moving building than a unit.

Posted by: NikCaputnic 16 Jan 2019, 20:14

So, the SSRT is still planned to exist? I thought it was abandoned a long time ago.

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 18 Jan 2019, 3:40

What does SSRT stand for and what is it's purpose?

Posted by: NikCaputnic 18 Jan 2019, 13:37

Super Secret Russian Thing.

As Bruce said, its purpose is still unknown for public, but when that teaser was published on ModDB a few yeasrs ago, people were like "O_O OMG WTF IS THAT?!".
The image Bruce showed there - is the same image, but seems SSRT got some new graphics. Which is actually very interesting, because a long time ago it was stated, that it was more humorous than actual gameplay feature, and later was abandoned. But then, why should anyone uplift the texture for it? (The X-Files theme starts playing here)

(BTW, in the old shellmap, at the moment when Russian Hind appeared and Berkuts and Backfires were flying by, you could see some sort of construction site with two things looking like rocket engines on top of it: that object also was called "SuperSecretRussianThing" in the editor)

Who said this?
Where was this said?
There was never a time when this thing was abandoned...Also this is a newer Image of the thing, just replicating the old one on Moddb
So it'll look better

Posted by: NikCaputnic 18 Jan 2019, 17:08

Can't tell when exactly it was stated, maybe 3-4 years ago. But i clearly remember that people asked about that, right here on the forum, and a few times on ModDB, and some testers and, maybe, a moderator (IIRC, MARS) have answered like "people still believe this thing to actually belong into the game?" and "it possibly was a joke to tease people".

I will try to find that topic, though it will be very difficult, since it happened nearly 3-4 years ago (or even more), and i still can't figure how to properly use the "search" function. But i will try.

Posted by: 3rdShockArmy 18 Jan 2019, 18:57

Wow. I've been following RotR for the last 4-5 years, but I've never heard of it before. Thanks for all the info, Nik and Bruce.
And thanks for telling me about that shellmap, Nik. I probably would have never noticed it by myself.

Posted by: Dangerman 19 Jan 2019, 0:17

I want to see the SSRT now .

Posted by: NikCaputnic 19 Jan 2019, 1:19

Yep, that is how it looked at the first time in 2012

(BTW, here is the link for that post on ModDB for those who want to see people's reaction: https://www.moddb.com/mods/rise-of-the-reds/images/teaser )

Posted by: ULTRA Faff 19 Jan 2019, 12:16

Interesting! Looks....well bizarre!

Thanks for extinguishing my fears there (that the mods still alive)....are you running this mod now (USA)Bruce???

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 19 Jan 2019, 17:18

How the hell did you find this? Well done lol, now I feel people might know too much

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 19 Jan 2019, 17:26

Am I running this mod? No Im not that patient of a man, I don't have the talent or resources to manage such a project.A general is nothing without an army,
The_Hunter is just a one man army with the tactical knowladge of a super veteran.He can both talk the talk and walk the walk.
I can only talk the talk x)

SWR is still helping out with The_Hunter taking point on most things, cant spoil more then that

Posted by: NikCaputnic 19 Jan 2019, 17:43

I know I can't acces it directly within the site anymore, but it is possible with the third-party link, and I still remember that it happened near that time when GLA was firstly re-introduced. So, I:
- Google-d (actually, "Yandex-ed") "Rise of the Reds" images;
- Found the old Scorpion's one, which source was ModDB;
- Used the link and got directly into the image and its comments section on ModDB ;
- Found a comment from a user who used to be pretty active at that time (V.Metallic, I recognized than nickname);
- Tried to view his comments, and searched for that particular one (under the scorpion);
- Started to browse his comment further (I knew that Scorpion's cameo and SSRT's one have been posted with just a small difference in time);
- Found one which was associated with something called "teaser image", and proceeded to the link;

Aaaaaand here you go - the blast from the past. Then I simply copied image's URL and link to that post.


BTW, the first one whose comments I tried to browse was Comr4de (One of the leaders of the mod), and found out that the last time he was active on the site is the beginning of 2017. Considering I haven't heard anything from (and about) him for quite a long time already, I just want to ask, if you might: Is he still around? It will be quite unfortunate to lose his modelling skills and creativity. Not to mention his awesome voiceovers (I miss the old Harrier's one) and, uhm, "art ".

Ok, in regards to the original question, where is the hyperlul emoji when you actually need it?

Posted by: SpiralSpectre 20 Jan 2019, 15:07

What if it's simply basically this?

http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Tzar_Land_ship

Posted by: (USA)Bruce 20 Jan 2019, 19:25

I could just say no its not
But that thing does look pretty silly with the amount of guns and what it does

Posted by: Neutrino 21 Jan 2019, 19:12

Speaking of whom, are other developers (IPS and comr4de) still on the team?

Posted by: Mizo 21 Jan 2019, 23:08

Yes they are. We do have a dedicated Discord server in which we communicate regularly although as of late, all of us are too busy with RL stuff

Posted by: ULTRA Faff 22 Jan 2019, 21:45

Cheers USABruce, you do seem active on here allot so thats why I asked
