An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.

Description
For the second part of our long weekend update (long weekend for Canada, at least!), we show off the Hawker's stealth secondary, and the new Confederate Destroyer!
Can the vindicators still target them, or do you have to tell them to?
Good for AA :)
They can't even SEE 'em. Hence why the passed right over them.
Whoa, that's useful skill! Probably as much as Striker/Tengu's transformation skills, eww, okay, maybe a bit MORE useful. :-D
You have no idea. The Hawker actually gets a rate of fire boost immediately after taking off again... such that it will empty its entire clip within about 3 seconds of taking off.
Outside of the ambush bonus, it fires 1 of its 8 missiles per second.
Keep in mind though that scouts will still reveal the Hawker, and it is also incapable of targetting infantry or even force-firing thanks to its heatseeking missiles!
youve thought of EVERYTHING thumbs up from me \,,/ (-_-) \,,/
and its as annoying as hell your having a dogfight then all the enemy hawkers go into camo and then you start rapidly tapping f on your apollos
what are the scouts? is it the dog bear and the the empire of the risings suns drone? (cant rember it name)
A complete list is as follows.
Allied Attack Dog, Confederate Guard Dog, Soviet Bear, Talon Hawk, Japanese Burst Drone, Chinese Tiger and Ray-Shark, Syndicate War Wolf, and Protectorate GIANT ENEMY CRAB.
WTF? Why does the protectorate have GIANT ENEMY CRABS? That makes as little sense as possible.
He's referring to the Malacostraca unit, which are small, crab like robots.
Quick question: For the GIANT ENEMY CRABS, will there be a sort of "weak spot" we can hit for MASSIVE DAMAGE?
I'm kind of kidding, guys. The Protectorate scouts are mechanical crab-like machines called Malacostraca (try saying that three times fast) which are unique in that they move in three-man squads.
In other words.
AIM for the BIG KINK underneath the GIANT ENEMY CRABS' STOMACH.
We are sure that this will cause it MASSIVE DAMAGE.
This is the only way to receive the CANCER ZODIAC ITEM.
i don't think you guys are too enthusiastic about anmating or coding that unit...
well, come to think about it,i don't think you guys are too looking forward to coding 10 modul types for each vehcile or about animating the tendrils on the icon...
acctually some of us kinda are as it is a nice challenge
Isnt the terror drone a scout too? Technically it is and is used for that even better the bears so just kinda wondering. :)
The terror drone is a scout in that it's a cheap and fast way of looking into an enemy base, but it's not a "scout" because it cannot detect stealthed or disguised units.
Go Hawker Go!
Hide Hawker Hide! :D
Ha ha, hide & hit!
or is it hide, hit, hide?
the hawker's have the stealth 2nd ability??WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
About the hawker... when it goes in ambush mode it will automatically attack any vehicle that pass up its head or you have to give the order yourself?
or it will be done putting the stance from hold fire to aggressive stance?
thank you and keep up the good job.
hmm,ray-shark can detect stealth so why not dolphins?
I thought the features said there were 4 missiles but Kerensky287 said it fires one of its 8 every second.
Im confused
Does the hawker have 4 or 8 missiles?
8. Four was WAY too few.
I have thought of a way to justify its weird shape to myself- it has to land quickly and be able to hide, (it can't hide additional landing gear that well, can it?) so its Wings and "beak" were shaped down to function as landing gear for the jump-jet.
This make the job of over powering the enemy with aircraft.
