Prepare to hate these. tongue.gif
BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT:
Dont tell me because its a game. Give me any other reason for it other than:
For laughs/gameplay/fun.
Its because of engine/usw.

1) About the real sizes of the superheavy tanks in canon:
Also they look similar sized in the game, but how big and large theyre would be in real life conditions? Is the Sentinel larger than the Manticore?

2) About that GLA sunglassed recycler mechanic
Is that recycler dude from the blog photo just one guy and maintains a large group of followers which he teaches the way or GLA engineering-salvage or are there clones from him or are they all the same vehicles remote controlled by him?

3) IF the rule for restrictions of nukes would not exist gameplay wise, would Alexander have also nuclear type/derived weapons on his sleeve?

4. Do civilian versions of the AT Drone and the other drones exist?

5. How the civilian, ESA versions of the Pandora (The spacegun) and the Venom suits look like?

6. Seriously, you can excuse anything the GLA does, but how the Combat Pioneer can carry a mortar, this large PDW, AND also SANDBAGS AND MINES? What are these guys? Not even the storm troopers or anything the GLA manage to do anything remotly physical impossible compared to what these hardcore pioneers can do...

7. Which of the two types satellites are larger sized, the Solaris strike ones or the Particle cannons?

8. How a human sees the ROTR world? In photos in some uptades, units have their ROTR/SAGE engine looks, but some photos are real life vehicles...?

1. Roughly equal I'd reckon, Sentinel may actually be larger.

2. Recyclers just represent the jury rigging savants and engineers of the GLA who go out onto the field, salvage and loot enemy vehicles and equipment and refit them.

3. Alexander does not have the protocol to access nukes in the lore, only Zhukov does.

4. There might very well be security drones for private use, but I doubt anywhere near the same anti-tank functions or explicitly same technology is shared to the private sector. Something akin to a sentry drone might exist for private interests though.

5. Less armoured, for one. We would need direct images to show this but not as camoflauged, armoured and weaponized are starters.

6. The GLA gunner mercs carry bigass PKM machineguns, shovels, machetes and can dig holes, and can't be run over. GLA Grenadier mercs also cannot be run over, have a big long range grenade launcher and also have machetes, and an assault rifle.

The Pioneer on the other hand only has a submachine gun, a shovel and some equipment to make a foxhole/barricade and has a small mortar. He also runs significantly slower then the mercs.

The GLA is not a trained army for starters, their mercenaries are professional soldiers but they are an exception. Not only that the pioneers are meant to be trench fighters. They aren't very fast but they can solidify their position as well as bombard.

Plus this is also a game where we are representing what would be equipment shared/used at various points by most soldiers.
The pioneers are also likely specialist trained trench type units trained with that specific equipment as well as much more rigorously trained then your average grunt. They are more adept soldiers.

7. Solaris satellites vary in size, you have both smaller relay ones and larger ones, particle cannon system satellites are fairly similar. In terms of which is bigger, relay Solaris satellites are smaller and the larger variants are bigger then particle cannons. As for the specifics, I do not know, I just know they are indeed larger.

8. Leave it up to your imagination- the game is a very stylized and stereotyped view, its a game where the reality of what would actually be in our real life world is dramatically different then what may be depicted in game. Of course how it looks in real life, some of the equipment is again, up to the imagination/someone to make an image for it.

No, you move.



1: Counts on your definition of bigger. In terms of length, width, etc, the Sentinel's larger, but it's design doesn't give it as much raw mass as the manticore, which is also likely heavier.
2: CC summed it up
3: No, Surovov heard his hate-rant and decided Zhukov was a safer bet.
4: The AT drone is probably a bit to cutting-edge, and the Guardian Drone is probably useless for civilians since it's gimmick is being a mini-tank, but I can see the others having civillian roles, such as the battle drone's repairing function or Mule drone being used as a mini-truck in warehouses.
5: Lighter armored and cheaper without the guns for the Venom suit, and the Pandora is a fully military vehicle, the railgun is the only civilian part IIRC.
6: Honestly, this one's pure gameplay>story, most infantry units are. I'd like to say all infantry are really squads, but un-crushable shock infantry like the Shock Trooper and Mercenary, or "Carry way too much gear" soldiers like the Pioneer and Vanguard seem to pull much of their powers out of their ass.
7: Solaris is probably bigger given that both are just ways to put energy in one end and out the other, yet the Solaris has to collect and focus the energy as well, so there's more stuff to put in it.
8: Graphics limitations are a thing, try to imagine them more realistically and that's about as close as I can say.
