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.
Another common variant of the Paladin II is tailored to increasing the survivability of the tank and crew inside, especially in the urban environments that have traditionally been difficult for tanks to engage in. Taking an already formidably armoured vehicle with some of the most comprehensive defensive capabilities on the modern battlefield and upgrading it to an even higher standard of survivability is what the Tank Urban Survival Kit, or TUSK, is designed to do, using a combination of tried and true methods to attain maximum protection for both the vehicle and its crew. Armour blocks are used to line the most vulnerable areas of the Paladin II, including the lower glacis plate and the turret. This provides a significant improvement to the tank's defensive capability. After that comes the Point Defense Laser Array System, sometimes referred to by crews rather melodramatically as “Hell's Crown”; that being multiple anti-projectile lasers ringed around the top of the turret. The PDLAS uses thermal, radar and acoustics-based sensors to identify incoming rockets and is linked directly to the tank's onboard AI, allowing rapid simultaneous interception of multiple projectiles. These modifications greatly limit the threat of common shoulder-launched rockets and even the most advanced anti-tank missiles to American forces.
