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 Repair Drone has been procured in an effort to reduce the costly logistical footprint of America's mechanised engineering units. Aside from maintaining other drones and ground vehicles in the field, it is also equipped with a set of sensors and tools for explosive ordnance disposal.
Wont this overlap the battle drone?
Well, the battle drone is still going to have purpose in the Anti-infantry role, plus the fact it's always going to follow the parent vehicle.
This however, needs the drone factory and an upgrade from the strategy center to be able to repair vehicles. Battle drones will still see use.
And initially, repair drones can only repair drones, which does not have Battle drone upgrades.
One of the oldest models in c&c history :D
agreed this is one the oldest ones
Is this an additional upgrade to vehicles or this needs to be produced in the drone factory like the sentry drone?
It´s produced in the the Drone Factory.
I loved using these in Shockwave!
as fo me it's too much of drones.. yet, fact they are unmanned made an impression those supposed to be "not a big deal to lose"
this repair drone looks a lot like the one that is used by General Alexander from Shockwave mod
Its originally from the early versions of Generals C&C, a scraped model.
Many mod teams got them into their mods, they just modified them to look better.
I expected SWR team to reskin this model.
Then again, that would be much less impractical compared to recycling an EA model.
Or maybe SWR DID tweak the model a bit.
Or they are just adding it in for now as part of the drone update and will reskin it later
Cut Content from C&C Generals Zero Hour, eh?
This old model needs a reskin!
Nope, it was originally from Generals cut unit.
Not Zero Hours.
Rightio den.
