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.
With most of the continental airbases destroyed in the initial strategic bombing campaign launched by the Russian Federation, fixed-wing aircraft such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, a 4.5 generation jet fighter that was first conceived in the mid-1980s, have become a rare commodity for the ECA. Most of the remaining planes now operate from converted motorways as well as distant, still intact bases in Britain, Ireland, Spain or Portugal and can only be called upon under unique circumstances. ECA commanders with the necessary clearance can call in irritating tear gas and cluster strikes that can saturate large areas thanks to the use of a unique munitions dispenser pod mounted underneath the aircraft. However due to equipment shortages, Eurofighters that operate from a civilian airstrip have to make do with ordinary free-fall bombs for their strike missions.
The green cockpits really stand out, I like the effect!
I first though it was a GLA plane.
It will be one soon enough (assuming its not retrievable through Gen power
:D I love the EuroFighter
Sexy.
Beautiful plane =)
Nice model but I dislike the camo. Hoped for the stylish steel/metal blue camo.
I think this camo' looks way better; More realistic.
Personally, I always wished the ECA used grey/urban camo' for their ground units, but a darker version of this camo' would look equally awesome.
Indeed. Kind of looks better than the rather bright blue stuff they have now.
I agree. The blue is actually so overused and boring :/
In a sense, the ECA kinda have a 'neo Cold War' aesthetic to them: They're more down and dirty in both looks and tactics than the 'shiny' ingame US and the camo we added to these planes is supposed to be reminiscent of the stuff used on old Harriers and Tornados of the era rather than that bland and generic Eurofighter grey.
Fair enough, but I still wish the ECA units had dark grey camo' for their ground units. :D
So due to it being in limited numbers, these are not purchasable?
maybe in the decryption it said
"ECA commanders with the necessary clearance can call in irritating tear gas and cluster strikes,However due to equipment shortages, Eurofighters that operate from a civilian airstrip have to make do with ordinary free-fall bombs for their strike missions."
so both an in game unit(normal bombs/missiles) and a generals power(cluster bombs)
Eurofighters are General power planes only.
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn I made above comment for no reason, but that's fine more of a chance for frogfroot squadrons to make it safely through enemy lines, da Comr4d?
EDIT: nevermind
We shall mind anyway!
Good work
:D
dang the europeans are going to have a lot of aircraft as far as i can tell
Not really.
Russia destroyed a lot of them.
These Eurofighters will not be buildable. They're used exclusively for two General Powers and that little aistrike power you get from capturing a tech-airfield. The Typhoon seen in this picture is used for the second function.
It would be cooler if you were to make it to were you could choose were each bomb landed from the civilian airport version for precise destruction with a smart bomb upgrade.
i like the new design keep it up :)) waiting for the 1.80 release :D add more chinese units my dad and i waiting for this :D
You dad play this?
hi guys i have a problem with the mod if some one play eca or i play eca and build a european euro fighter i get blackscreen where the unit is i see only black screen its unplayable can some one help me please?
awesome!
hey include Rafales too. In Air force. Both EF Typhoon and Rafale.
Hey man, nice work! Well, I've downloaded it, and I'd like to know, in the W3D.big file what's the name of the Eurofighter's W3D model? I'm trying to turn it playable. That's cos I don't have the zero hour, but I usually combine mods into my original game, and I was trying to add the Typhoon to the US airforce just to test it. My CnC Generals allows me to use all armed forces,even the navy, for the 3 factions. I'm studying the possibility of creating my own brazilian mod. We've got Leopards and Gepards here, including Mi-35's and probably Rafales next year. Brazil is not a weak nation as most people guess. It's a strong military force, That's what I'm trying to show in the mod. There's no worst enemy than the brazilian SOF.
Please, should be a playable mod. Really deserves the effort and work that this man Typhoon. In addition to the ECA it does not come bad to have some more aircraft. And just the Eurofighter is an icon of the EU. Pass playable in a future release. It is a beautiful mod. Thank you.
