There really isn't much to it. They took a tank chassis and mounted a flamethrower on it. This never struck me as particularly goofy or needy of an explanation.

It is interesting that the Dragon Tank shall be coated with extra layers of ceramic and other materials to withstand the scorching heat of the napalm that it produces, and the crew must use special attires for not fry inside the tank.

Yeah, but they still think "it's really hot in here" What strikes me as particularly 'goofy' in the Chinese arsenal are the Tank Hunters. I mean, are flak cannons carriable and if so, can they even be shoulder-fired? By the way MARS, your new pic makes me read your comments in a teaching and "hey listen up kids"-way.

Flak things sound like something handmade distant from the reality of modern warfare, the Tank Hunter weapon probably not is a rocket launcher but instead a grenade launcher (as in RA2) and the effect of the explosion should cause severe damage to infantry due to fragmentation. FLAK = something simple, cheap and relatively efficient. BTW: hardly a fragmentation grenade could cause significant damage in an armored vehicle, probably for this reason that Tank Hunters take loads of TNT, would be the only way to neutralize the enemy tanks (analyzing of a point of view somewhat more realistic). -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe?

They need to be launching some kind of AT grenade with very good aerodynamics so it can be use againts aircraft Still the idea of a soldier running with tnt and placing it on a tank so it blow out is great (and stupid at the same time ) |

I think tank hunters would probably carry 2 different types of shells, an airburst flak shell, for Anti-Air, and an armor piercing shell or shaped charge for tanks -------------------- |

I always assumed the Chinese tank hunter had recoilless rifles with both flak and shaped rounds.

Explaining this with words would take ages. Click on the "source" tab of the edit page and you'll see the unitbox, then the rest would be obvious.

If you can sneak a humvee full of seals in the enemy base, they're probably screwed!

Here's something official. I noticed that some of the unit quotes given in the infoboxes are not entirely correct. It'd be nice if someone could update them accordingly. I'm mostly talking about typos/mistaken words here. Aside from these specific cases, I would also appreciate it if someone could have a look at all the quotes and get them in the same formal style i.e. capital letters ONLY where appropriate, punctuation, etc. This also goes for those quotes where the unit name is put in quotation signs for no apparent reason.
Also, there seems to be a double entry for 'Nighthawk' and 'Nighthawk Stealth Bomber' with the former being redundant. ECA Excavator: Got a plan for winning this war? Jaeger: Hauptmann Jaeger, at your service, Kommandant. Lynx: What's the hold-up? Mortar Track: Ready to blow shit up. Pandora: If this doesn't stop them, nothing will. Pandur: Conversion kits ready. Panzerfaust: I break tanks for a living / I hope you understand that I'm carrying a heavy weapon. Heavy - literally! Tiger: This is the Tiger. Where's my prey? USA Ranger: What's the mission, Sir? Tomahawk: Long range ballistics. China Inferno Cannon: Fire from the sky. Red Guard: We stand together! Volunteer Squad: Volunteers, at the ready! |

These all must be from hearing the quotes wrong, or are from a lack of copy editors. I'm on it, now.
Got thorught all of ECA except the Panzerfaust. Are all the words in quotes capitalized for a reason? This post has been edited by Talonek: 2 May 2013, 21:19 |

Inferno Cannon: Fire from the sky. mm I'm pretty sure the Inferno Cannon says "Fiya from sky!", along with its chinese accent -------------------- |

Something needs to be cleared, is there any need to mention "x render" (yeah often these lines even include the quotation marks for some reason) in the unitbox of x right under it's render? Maybe it's just me but it seems kinda redundant. I mean like,
Mortar Track Is there any need to mention "Mortar Track Render." under it's render in the unitbox? At least a in-game quote like "ready to blow shit up!" tweaks more interest. |

Yeah, 'X Render' seems very redundant indeed. As far as I'm concerned, that part should be used for iconic quotes across the board.

I think that page is unnecessary.
Nobody said that US or Chinese tanks don't have coaxial and turret mounted MG. It's just ingame that they don't appear for balance reason. Tanks don't have MGs in every original C&C game, after all. But in official artworks, many of them have. Infact, if an M1A2 in the past have MG, then an M1A4 should also have. There's just no reason to not equip them with MG when you can do that in the old version. ECA turret mounted MG is just a piece of game mechanic, not something important in the lore. -------------------- We Die Standing.
