ZHU April Media Update: Armoured Superiority news - Command & Conquer Generals Zero:Hour Unleashed mod for C&C: Generals Zero Hour

Today I bring you the first new media update from the "new" ZHU. This update concerns two armoured fighting vehicles; we intend to give all factions a full complement of vehicles of all types, so no longer will you see vast swaths of empty space in Fai's Warfac.

First off, General Alexander will receive the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank as a "replacement" for her nonexistant Paladin. While slow moving and lacking a PDL, the Challenger 2 is nonetheless an extremely potent tank. It outranges any other tank, has thick armour and while it has a long reload time its shell is very powerful. This unit can decimate carelessly executed Scorpion strikes with ease. However, due to the lack of a PDL, it is more vulnerable to aircraft and missile troopers, while its lower movement speed make it easier to target with artillery. It requires a Lvl1 General's Point to unlock, and is available immediately after building the War Factory.

Second, General Fai, dismayed at the immense losses his precious little fleshbags suffered when faced with microwave, flame (don't ask) and toxin weaponry, decided that it would be prudent to requisition an MBT for his use. With the addition of South Korea to the Chinese sphere of influence, he chose to field the K2 Black Panther as a meat shield (or rather, armour shield) for his fleshbags with guns. The Black Panthers will attempt, in any engagement, to draw the attention of anti-infantry vehicles, and destroy them before they can inflict any major losses on the ground-pounders. It is roughly on par with a Crusader, stat-wise, but has a bigger price tag. It requires a Lvl1 General's Point to unlock, and is available immediately after building the War Factory.

I hope you enjoyed this update. Strategia, out.
