Rise of the Reds Update: Swamped Options

[Planardweller]

Considering that is not "Venom"

From I what heard, Venom is some type of vechile.

From "Rise of the Reds Update: Eisenfresser"
The part about European R&D compound:
The threat of the Russian invasion has forced the ECA to tighten their schedules and send these rare prototypes into combat. Only little is currently known about their exact nature besides sketchy rumours, ranging from a super-heavy 'Manticore' tank over an armoured exo-skeleton dubbed the 'Venom' to what appears to a militarised version of an ESA orbital payload delivery mechanism codenamed 'Pandora'.

That the basis for my speculation.
What do you mean about Panzerfaust? Panzerfaust is dedicated AT infantry with german RPGs.
In the infantry update thread there was a mention of other infantry, not counting Jaegar.

yeah, unguided, bigger ranger and AOE damage, the sheel seems to work a similar way, so another type of infantry with a similar weapon will be rebundant

[Spejjarn]

I'll make this a bit more clear:
Claymore = basically a mobile Howitzer = Charles
Pandora = that giant thing you see at the very end = everyone
Mysterious arty-looking vehicle you see around the early middle = Charles, but available in 1.8
Wolfgang & Willem get yet another unique arty that hasn't been seen anywhere yet

Sorry MARS, it doesn't matter how you write stuff here, some people always misunderstand it... like me. Thank you for making the artillery part more understandable

[Col._Sandfurz]

I do not think that the shell at 0:36 is a Panzerfaust. We have seen the Panzerfaust being shot out of buildings in some screen shots on FB. There it has kind a grey smoke trail, whereas this one looks like a artilleryshell fired from a firebase or something..
I could be some kind a mortar (like the nukeneer), but the nature of mortars prohibit indoor using (at least if you not want to commit suicide). So maybe it is kind a ATGM like the Milan or Eryx as a soldier able to garison buildings, can not fire a big cannon from the hips^^
Stationary ATGM's are also a defensive weapon IRL => would fit ECA..

[Mr.Kim]

At 0:36 was firing rocket with one of gen-power infantry.

[MARS]

That's right people: ECA Gen Power infantry. Now get that speculation going!

Will we get some big fat V3/Scud/Tomahawk style rocket launchers by 2.0,on any side ?
I somehow notice that despite these two,ROTR is lacking from them,even Scud launcher is not present in current version.

[MARS]

Ibrahiim will eventually get the Scud Launcher - likely overhauled to be more worthy of a gen-exclusive like the Nuke Cannon - and yes, there's gonna be a few more giant ballistic missiles.

[Dangerman]

Will it be likely to have longer range than the Grad, new model/texture and have conventional warheads as an option?

[Mr.Kim]

Toplo-M perhaps.

[Shockfan42]

Excelent video, ECA look powerful and amazing. But for the number of units show, 1.8 only can be released after of May of 2013? Of curse, I not take in count if new units can play for the actual factions. Thank you, excelent work, great ideas and history, take my vote for the mod of 2012.

Few more ?
With or without Topol ? Reading your Topol description it don't seems to be
a conventional unit as current moving artillery platforms,rather smaller superweapon carried on vehicle.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

Topol-M sounds good. Same fire system as the MSTA but more firepower less fire rate?

Sayyyyy can we has MLRS?

[Comr4de]

Sayyyyy can we has MLRS?

Also the TOPOL M1 is going to be a bit different than you think, you'll see in time. We are planning for the ECA to have a MLRS but will be be designed outside the Generic Shoebox that shoots cigarettes at people.

[__CrUsHeR]

The Topol-M is not based on an artillery with projectiles but in an ICBM, probably caused much damage on enemy units.

According to what was mentioned earlier you must purchase the ICBM separately and each time you launch shall pay to get a new missile.

If you would use forum beside spaming same posts each time and bitching how USA can have this or that or it is under powered,
you would notice one locked topic in "Important Topics" section,it is called "Frequently Asked Questions".

Q08

[Serialkillerwhal...]

Just noting it would be awesome to have a Rocket launcher that fires cluster rounds.

And yeah, So the Topol is a cheaper one shot superweapon?

I will never see the MLRS the same way again.

Cigarettes kill

Exploding Rocket Cigarettes kill more

The Topol is fragile and expensive, as I recall each missile should cost about 2000.

It works like a mini-superweapon with a large range however is limited.

[Mr.Kim]

Th cost is $1000 credits per missile and the missile is MIRVs type with Nuclear warhead.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

MIRV with nuclear warhead.
So about 5-10 nuke cannon rounds?
