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.
While the United States Air Force and Marine Corps began to introduce the V-22 Osprey in the early 2000s, the Army largely missed out on the advent of modern tiltrotor aircraft and stuck with the venerable CH-47 Chinook helicopter throughout the Global War On Terror. Meanwhile, the Osprey proved to be quite a formidable machine that combined the speed of an airplane with the deployability of a helicopter after its initial problems had been ironed out. During the mid 2030s, the Department of the Army tried to catch up with these developments by throwing its weight behind a new Air Force project that eventually produced the V-44 Starlifter, an enormous quadrotor VTOL aircraft with enough internal space and engine power to carry multiple combat vehicles, including tanks, as well as a sizeable detachment of infantry or drones. While the Ospreys and a number of other medium helicopters are still used for the more discrete 'high speed, low drag' style insertions, the Starlifters can move enough man- and firepower to the frontline to sustain an entire invasion on their own as evidenced by their performance in the Third World War, but also during a disaster relief operation in Puerto Rico, where a wing of USAF Starlifters delivered tons of medical supplies, food and other vital goods after Hurricane Xander had swept across the Caribbean in 2047
looks macho... looks big...
me like big stuff...
LZ is too hot !
SPECIAL DELIVERY!!!
SPECIAL DELIVERY... OF DEATH! :D
Big.
This dates back in the Shockwave doesn't it? USA Ironside has it :D
IIRC its actually a concept that was supposed to be in either generals or red alert 2, I can remember.
Yeap, found it, it was for generals. Cnc.wikia.com
this mod and shockwave are already mentuned in there...that was fast
Yep, I played Shockwave, tried Ironside before trying anything else and I find it so big but some small space.
"So big that even the tanks can hit it."
So big, so majestic, full of lots of expensive stuff, probably with promotes.... Aaaaaand Stinger Sniper Attack.....

I honestly was expecting this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-141_Starlifter
I like using them in C&C Shockwave. :D
incase you are intersted, some HD renderings of the Starlifter. : >

WOW...
Oh yes , the mod really needed something like this. Can we expect a gunship version of it kind if ac-130?
always knew this baby will make its way to ROTR...
The C-141 may be a real plane, but the V-44 Starlifter is what happens when the V-22 Osprey and the CL250 Airlifter had a baby.
Not to mention the C-141 is what I think used in supply drops?
The C-17 is used in supply drops.
It's so fat... and beautiful. Looks like the Osprey and the European Dropship had a baby... One that could kick ***.
No sh***, Sherlock. Already mentioned that.
Woah, don't get your panties in a bunch.. I thought you were mentioning some other plane.
Yo dawg I heard you liked airlifters so I've put an Osprey on your Osprey so you could be transporting while transporting.
:D lol
A voice like that for this baby would be awesome!
Yo dawg, get the hell out of my choppa!
I colud use some fried chicken commander!
They hit mah spoiler bro!
Gen'ral Xzibit - da pimpa gen'ral.
"Pimp ma tank, yo!" general power. Lvl 3 - flame painting, jumpin' front and yo the sickest sound sistam, yo!
Those were definitely in Tom Clancy's Endwar.
Has the role of the Osprey, the ugliness and cargo capcity of a Beluga :P
it reminded me of the aircraft shown in the "Edge of Tomorrow" trailer
Ah! Shockwave shows it's pretty face again ;-D
But as awesome as it looked (and sounded) in Shockwave, I have to admit that its usefulness there was pretty limited at best! I just could not find a proper way to use it, even though it was at times! But it will be a different story ROTR, I know this for a fact! The reason why this will be so useful is because of the very fact that the devs made Ospreys incapable to carry any vehicles (at least not to my knowledge)!
the osprays can't carry vehicles.and if you want to use it in shockwave you can use it to bring reamforcements of your tanks to the front lines,sinse some of them are slow.or drop a berton somewhere...
