This mod will replace all units and structures with new ones which in my opinion should actually be in RA2. It's very strange that RA2 has WW2 units and weapons design while in RA1 all of the technologies were much more modern. Technologies in RA2 oddly have left back in the past and I have decided to correct this. In the mod there will be both old RA1 units and many new ones. This mod does not change story of RA2 and YR, it's only unit and building replacement. But maybe I will change some missions a little.
I replaced this old flying junk with better fast and almost invulnerable spy plane like in RA1. This is strange why Soviets start to use old and bad spy planes instead better jet spy plane from RA1. I returned it back :)

Looks like a MiG-25
Yes it is. I think it fits good to mod.
Hmm, it works more as a "reckon jet" or something like that. ;-) A spy plane can sound a bit weird here (comparing it with that old plane). :-D
But it's great as a fast scout. :-)

Still reminds me of that RA1 jet. :-) Hmm, to be sincere, that middle bluish colour doesn't merge/suit the rest of the jet, maybe making it more varied (more shades of blue) would better the texture?
Yes. Texture will be changed to grey color like in Real Life

P.S. this interest. In real world MIG-25 is interceptor. But in RA1 it serves as spy plane
Hmm, maybe it could be used a scout, but as a trainable unit? I mean instead of making it special weapon/etc. you could make it normal unit, make it very fast, give it longer line of sight.
IRL, there was a Version of the MiG-25 that WAS a spy plane. Sorry I'm a Pilot!
