A fan for Real life Military equipment ? then this is your mod ! it is a Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod that basically imports a lot of RL military hardware from the cold war era in the 60's to the late 2000's while maintaining a lot RA2 aspects like prism, tesla tech and etc. Also, It expands on the original RA2 armor system thanks to ARES in which it creates more roles to create numerous units effectively expanding the complexity of handling an army making it necessary to use mixed arms to counter the various unit types. Also, do note that each country will have some twists in their military equipment that will be more or less similar to their respective RL counterparts. In short: it is a relative to reality fun mod but "a fun mod" is conservative statement.
The Tech Communication Center is another structure I sought for it to be converted and used in Red Alert 2. However, its functionally different. It can now provide aircraft with information via secured data link thus increasing their effectiveness and awareness of any adversaries nearby; aircraft with in 29-cell radius of the communication center will have +25% firepower and armor.
Also, it can provide players with the following:
- ISR Drone Support Power: deploys a stealthed scout UAV at a target location that can detect stealth units and aid in reconnaissance, the drone is equipped with countermeasures to help fend off SAM threats if it is being intercepted after being detected. Its important to note that the drone will last 1 minute until it needs to return to refuel to be use again - Support Power recharge time: 2 minutes.
- Rocketeer / Cosmonaut Raider Reinforcements: when capturing a communication center, Three rank-2 Rocketeers or Cosmonauts are automatically deployed every 4 minutes.
This is sure to up the air game of whoever can capture this Tech Building! And I also like the addition of Rocketeers/Cosmonauts joining the fray as well with this 'ere.
