Updates: Claws of the Eagle Part 5 news - C&C Generals Zero Hour: Enhanced mod for C&C: Generals Zero Hour

Hello everyone, looks like we've finally arrived at the end of NATO vehicles and tanks update. You know what that means? We're only 2 series away from completing the essential art assets for a new release so let's end this series with a bang.

First off, the Stryker is back and even better than before. Much like the PLA Crawler APC, there's hardly any difference except that the Stryker is initially equipped with M2 HMG remote weapon station and it's not amphibious. Er, that's about it really. Oh yeah, and remember these are TOTALLY DIFFERENT units. JUST DON'T LOOK AT THE CODES.

Up next, we have #EasternEuropeanCommunistsLoveNATO Zoopark-1 ADS-2 'Disruptor' Tank. After the anti-climactic demise of USSR using just one signature, there's an abundance of leftover MT-LBu in many ex-Soviet and ex-Warsaw Pact states.

Some communists now openly declare that they believe true communism can be achieved only through NATO's benevolence and denounce any reactionaries from trying to encroach and subvert its just rule. When asked to prove their credentials and credibility, they simply stated that "Can't you see that I'm wearing the red star hat? That means I'm objectively a communist. Everyone knows that red star hats are the only credentials anyone needs to be a communist. Every famous communist does it. Haven't you try googling once in your life?!"

With NATO having iron clad control over these states, these MT-LBu are converted into advanced active denial system AKA high-powered microwave emitter or just microwave that we use to toast some breads. Except now they're powered up to toast people alive in seconds. Not only that, they can also "disrupt" production in target structures, preventing them from functioning, and slow down infantry caught in its area of effect once deployed to hinder them from easily achieving their objectives. So think about that the next time you meme about the Microwave Tank.

Next in line, undeniable proof that the American education system has failed humanity and in need of serious overhaul and funding.

The American version of MIM-104E has to be the stupidest piece of high tech military hardware I've ever seen. Like who the fuck in the right mind could come up with this sort of monstrosity and goes "looks fine to me." Like what? I'm convinced that the person who came up with this design has to suffer with some sort of brainrot and you can't change my mind.

With the introduction of the NASAM battery in replacement of the OG Patriot battery, ZHE Patriot battery now is an actual Patriot battery.

Finally, we have that Titan tank first introduced 2013 but somehow never made into the mod for some reason. Well, "Titan" is still the codename of the entire experimental super-heavy tank project so now each variation will have its own unique name.

First of its kind, the Themis. Started development during the GWOT, not to effectively combat terrorists, but as a contingency against China. With the revelation of the close-guarded secret Chinese Overlord project and its proven domination in the battlefield, Pentagon went "gotta get me some of those war crime machines."

And just like that, project Titan was a go.

Not quite as advanced as the Overlord yet, the Themis is still a force to be reckoned with with its experimental 140mm smoothbore gun and 4 TOW ATGM launchers.

You maybe thinking "wait a sec, where are the rest of the addon upgraded versions like them Overlord tanks?" Well, truth be told, I can't be bothered to do em right now so I conveniently came up with the lore friendly reason of "it's still experimental right now so the Pentagon is still evaluating its use cases to authorise further research and funding." so you can cope about it.

NATO M1126 'Stryker' Infantry Carrier Vehicle is NATO's most reliable armoured troop transport. Named after its fallen compatriots who served in World War 2 and Vietnam, the Stryker is a stark reminder of what its people must sacrifice to maintain liberty and peace in the world.

M1126 comes equipped with fully packed smoke grenade dischargers allowing it to mask friendly infantry or vehicle to ensure a success assault on the enemy or retreat without casuality.

Armaments: M2 12.7mm heavy machine gun remote weapon station.

NATO ADS-2 'Disruptor' Tank is NATO's advanced support tank and advanced mobile microwave for troops to prepare their frozen pizzas with.

Its hammer and sickle logo is an undeniable proof that the crews are communists but they just love NATO.

Being armed with active denial system, the Disruptor tank utilises heat ray to damage enemy infantry and disrupt enemy structures, halting the productions and preventing them from functioning.

Once deployed, the Disruptor tank can project its heat ray in a wide area of effect, slowing down enemy infantry within its radius.

Doesn't come equipped with pre-installed smoke grenade dischargers but they can become available via a local upgrade. Despite that fact, ADS-2 can still use its engine as a smoke screen generator to create a small smoke screen surrounding it in case of emergency.

Armaments: High-powered microwave generator.

NATO MIM-104E 'Patriot' Mobile Surface-to-air/Anti-ballistic Missile System is the impregnable guardian of NATO's sky. Capable of destroying enemy aircraft and ballistic missiles with ease, the Patriot can ensure that NATO and its allies territory will never be under attack from the sky.

The Patriot has to be deployed first before it can fire its missiles.

Armaments: 4x PAC-2 missile launchers.

NATO M1 'Themis' Superheavy Tank is NATO's ultimate peacekeeping arsenal and answer to its Chinese counterpart, the Overlord. Built and designed by pure-blooded Caucasian Americans, born from hundreds of generation exclusively in Christian nuclear family, this thing consumes oil 10x times that of the Abrams (not but to worry, it's subsidised by the money of good US patriots.)

While slightly less armoured than the Chinese counterpart, the Themis, with its unlimited resource of oil, can move faster than the Overlord.

Being armed with experimental 140mm smoothbore gun and potentially TOW missile launchers, the Themis can terminate any hint of communism with extreme effectiveness both in the homeland and almost every corner of the globe.

Doesn't come equipped with pre-installed smoke grenade dischargers but they can become available via a local upgrade. However, the M1 can still use its engine as a smoke screen generator to create a small smoke screen surrounding it in case of emergency.

Due to its high cost and maintenance, only a relatively small number of M1 can be deployed on the battlefield.

Armaments: 140mm smoothbore gun, coaxial 7.62mm M240 machine gun and (upgradable) 4x BGM-71 TOW ATGM launchers.

And that's it for today, stay tune for the next update!
