Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
The Cobra is the most agile helicopter in service. Excellent for scouting, ambushing and harassment, these birds of prey are capable of being a serious threat in high enough numbers. Though they already have a powerful minigun by default they can also be upgraded with rocket pods, making them even more deadly. The Cobra is exclusive to General Griffon, replacing his Little Bird.
wow is general griffin the airforce generals?
Aye.
Awesome..... I can't wait till i pound my enemys with this helicopter....
Yeah... a nice model. Bring more aircraft for all! :-D
Cobra **** Yeah!
AMERICA! **** YEAH!
Air Force! **** Yeah!
air force does not use the cobra or super cobra
which means that is the marine corps!
is this the cobra or super cobra?
It's a fictional future variant, probably enhanced from the AH-1Z. It is for the Air Force General Griffon because Rise of the Reds is not realistic as a primary goal and therefore will use units where they are most fun. There is no Marine Corps general in Rise of the Reds, so we have to make allowances.
i felt like i had to point that out (i don't know why)
but thanks for answering my question
well....i love this but command to use rocket pods make me busy on this game....hehe...
@CommanderJRB
If it were developed from the AH-1Z Viper it would need to have 4 blades.
No longer a "twin blade chopper reporting"
A Cobra?
This is too good to be True.
Will it have AA Capabilities?
-SWAT
Those 2 sidewinders on each side aer AA missiles so yea ;)
USA firepower, Oorah!
im gonna start running for the hills now >:)
USA should Win now, Damn those Chinese Bastards.
You're Helixes are Nothing to Our Air Power!
-SWAT
Edit: This was in response to Volen Metalic's comments, but they appear to have been deleted. Anyway, here's how the Cobra stacks up against the Abrams in terms of overused-ness.
Abrams:
-Destructive Forces
-CWC
-MEC
-Call to Arms
-Real War Mod
-Reborn
-Generals Pack Mod
-The End of Days
-Tiberian Dawn Redux
-Crazy Mod
-A Global Crisis
-Modern Wars
-Art of War
And many more long since dead and buried. The Apache has just as many. While I take your point about the Cobra, it is far from *more* overused than those two units, and given that it is Rise of the Reds' aim to make the unit unique within the mod (i.e. it plays differently to how it would if you see it elsewhere) I seriously can't see what your problem is here.
And in ZH-style? :p
The over useded-ness chart of the Abrams just gave me a sudden burst of realization. The Crusader and Paladin (mostly the Crusader) look like slightly modified Abrams!
The Cobra looks very nice, and exclusive to my favorite branch! Even better!
Yes, there were quite a few design tips taken from the Abrams when enhancing the look of the Paladin, partially because it was fairly close to begin with (no doubt intentionally on EA's part). However, you will note that it is still very definitely a different unit!
As for the Crusader, I'm afraid I can't see the resemblance one single bit. Are you sure you've seen the new Crusader II that replaces the Generals original in Rise of the Reds?
I wasn't too clear about that, I meant in the non-modified version the turret of the Crusader would just be squished a bit and the vents on the back would be moved on top of the body. I also usually see it's unit picture when I think about how it looks.
looks really good, although slightly thin...
actually that is exactly how it looks in real life
amm isnt this too old. I meen this one was in vietnam and it war about 30 ears ago ...
any way looks graet gues , keep up the good work
IRL the AH-1Z Viper is still in testing right now to become the next incremental upgrade to the design for the Marine Corps - it's a hardy and versatile chopper that's going nowhere any time soon. Besides, the mod has the Nighthawk and Chinook to mention but two of dozens of Generals anachronisms, so it's pretty inoffensive really.
What?0.o... is your point ....
I almost feel like copying and pasting my above post, but I'm in a reasonably good mood this evening.
My point is twofold. Firstly, the Cobra is not too old for the mod - it might have been designed in Vietnam but it is still being used today *in real life*. The latest variant, the AH-1Z Viper, is so new it's still in testing. Secondly, even if it were too old, the game uses lots of old units like the Chinook and B-52 (which also hail from Vietnam or before), so the Cobra is far from an ill-fitting stand-out example.
aaa now you'r speacking like a normal human :)
and thets good to know :)
and in what way is it difrent then the apache?
in the game there is ?:)
It's different to the Apache in that it is *in* the game to begin with. There is no Apache, and nor will there be. If you mean how is it different to the Comanche, this is much faster and more agile, with less health, a more powerful gun, no anti-tank guided missiles, air-to-air missiles and rocket pods.
Not the SuperCobra? Oh well, nice work.
Think of this as more a fictional future variant where they decided two rotors were better than four than the old chopper that's remained the same for fifty years if it helps.
i thought SWR made there own models and that they would rather not borrow from other mods. aww well its not a big problem i think it looks better then the MEC one good work guys.
Hunter decided that he would rather spend time working on the ECA and GLA than re-making the entirety of a unit he could get from a friend that was up to his quality standards.
I've always loved the Cobra. It looks so badass.
Very cool!
Cooobra! Yo Joe!!!
COBRA FTW !! cobra + harassing enemies = epic success :D
look at rocket pods.... 64 hydras!!!!!!!! :O :O
cant wait to use that thing!
The Cobra strikes!!!
If this in 1.5, would it replace either the LB or the commanche or would you be able to buy it as a third helicopter at the airfield.
It is in 1.5. Not sure if I can reveal precisely how it works, though.
That statement makes me think it can be summoned via special ability^^
Hey, can anyone tell me if this mod is currently available? i've tried downloading it (the Beta 1.2) and it go screwed up. If the mod IS available, could anyone tell me where i could get instructions to mod my zero hour game or just tell me how.
-XxHellcat7xX
It's available. Maybe you should've read the instructions; 1.2 is a patch to version 1.0. You need to have Zero Hour patch 1.04 installed first, then install 1.0, then 1.2. If you want the Russian music, all you have to do is download the music pack, unzip the file and place it into the Zero Hour folder.
1.2 however, doesn't include a lot of the recently revealed units, most of them come in version 1.5, which will be out shortly. (don't ask when, cause we have strict rules not to divulge that kind of information).
Edit - ninja'd by NergiZed. Oh well, that'll teach me to get distracted.
The 1.2 release was a patch for the original 1.0 SWR Edition full release (note that rather confusingly there are two 1.0 releases, one by a previous team, so always look for the SWR edition), so you'll need both. Make sure you install it precisely as dictated in the install guide:
Wiki.falloustudios.net
It definitely does work and has for many thousand others so far, so as long as you follow the above steps you should be fine. Good luck, and have fun!
Thanks! Could your team at least reveal if the game will be open to public this year?
If we reveal that information to you, we face death by cheese grater.
However, we did say 'soon' didn't we? Do you think we live in an alternate dimension where 'soon' means 6 more months? Maybe we do...
Hmmm... Perhaps thats foreshadowing something???
chease grater! NOOOOOOOO
