v0.52R
Updated version with new super weapons, new game logic, re-balances, and new contents.
Highlights of changes:
(1)Added Aircraft Carriers for USA, France, UK, Russia, China. These massive vessels can launch map-wide intensive air-strike with focused fire power. They can both attack surface and air targets.
Make sure to defeat enemy carriers first to launch any land or surface ship offensive, or they will make a quick work of any offending forces.
Country specifics:
US: Nimitz Class Carrier, with F-18E superhornets launching GBU-500s and AMRAAMs
France: Charles de Gaulle Class, with Rafale Ms launching AASMs and MICA IR NGs
UK: Queen Elizabeth Class, with F-35Bs launching Spear 3s and Meteors
Russia: Kuznetsov Class, with Mig-29Ks launching KAB-500s and R77Ms
China: Laioning Class, with J-15s launching LT laser guided bombs, and PL12s
(2)Added Amphibious Assault Ships/ Helicopter Destroyers for USA and Japan. These major surface combatants command a wing of VTOL fighter or Helicopters to perform surface strike, anti-submarines, or anti-air missions.
They complement their aircraft carrier counterparts by providing front-line and persistent fire power.
Country specifics:
US: America Class Amphibious Assault Ship, with AH-1Z Vipers launching AGM-114s and APKWS rockets
Japan: Haygu Class Helicopter Carrying Destroyer, with Seahawk Js launghing AGM-114s and MK-46 torpedos. Also armed with ESSM local area defense missile
Japan: Izumo Class Helicopter Carrying Destroyer, with F-35Js launching JNAAMs and LJDAM-1000s
(3)Added Martime Interdiction heavy bombers for Russia and US. These heavy aerial hunters will launch persistent barrages of anti-ship missiles at enemy surface ships from extremely long ranges.
Onboard electronic warefare systems will paralyze enemy surface to air missile launchers at long range to enhance survivability.
Country specifics:
US: B-1B with LRASM long range anti-ship missiles with 450kg (heavy) warheads and ALQ-161 Electronic Warfare systems.
Russia: Tu-160M2s with 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missiles and Kret-produced electronic Warfare systems.
(4)Hypersonic anti-ship missile-carrying aircraft Mig-31BM for Russia. These high-speed interceptors now carry hypersonic, long range Kh-47M2 Kinzhal antiship missiles with 500kg (heavy) conventional warheads.
They can also take on air targets with their long range R-37M ultra-long range air-to-air missiles.
(5)Project 1144.2M Kirov Class Battlecrusier for Russia. The soviet era battlecruise is retrofitted with advanced anti-air and anti-ship weaponry.
It employs surface launched 3M22 Zircon anit-ship missiles to take out enemy surface combatants at extreme ranges. And it uses the state-of-art S-400F anti-air system with 40N6 400-km range missiles to fend off enemy aircraft swarms.
Though heavily armed, and often credited the surface combatant with the greatest firepower in the world, it is still vulnerable facing enemy carriers with large swarm of carrier fighters attacking in sync.
(6)Re-coded Attack Helicopters: Uses ARES' improved logic, now attack helicopters carries much more a punch than before.
Previously, only two weapons of different targeting functions can be carried (e.g.: one for anti-ground, and one for anti-air, like the case of Apoc tank)
Now, attack helicopters carry auto cannons for anti-infantry, tank and air missions, short-range anti-air missiles for enemy aircrafts, anti-tank missiles for enemy vehicles and structures and rocket launchers for infantries (if-laser guided, can aim for enemy aircraft)
Country specifics:
US, Korea, UK, Japan: AH-64E Guardians carrying AGM-114s, Stingers, M230 30mm Auto Cannons, and APKWS rockets
France and Germany: Tiger HADs with PARS-3LR missiles, Mistrals, Giat 30 30mm rapid-firing Auto Cannons, SNEB rockes

Korea: AH-1 Super Cobras with TOW missiles, AIM-9s, 20mm Auto Cannons, and Hydra 70 rockets
(7)Sixth-Generation Fighters for France, Germany, UK, Japan. These high speed, high altitude, stealth fighters employ directed energy weapons such as laser and masers, and swarm uav tactics to gain the upper hand against traditional adversaries of fighter, missile swarm and/ or area denial anti-air weapons
Country specifics:
France and Germany: FCAS fighter with long range anti-air laser, and laser designator for calling-in ground-attack UCAV swarms
UK:The Tempest fighter with long range anti-air laser, and command systems for SPEAR-EW electronic attack loitering munitions for air-defense suppression.
Japan:The F-3 (i-3) fighter with long range anti-air laser, and long range masers for taking out enemy missiles elctronics and radar systems.
(8)Fifth-Generation Fighters for Korea, the KF-X. The indegenously developed fighter aims at creating a fighter of higher steatlth charcteristics than the French Rafale and British Typhoons.
In-game, the KF-X uses Meteor missiles to fend off enemy fighters and uses IR/ECM countre measures to distract enemy surface to air missile launchers.
(9)Added Repair Vehicles for China, Cuba, Lybia, and Iraq
Country specifics:
China: ZBD-04 Repair Vehicle
Cuba, Lybia and Iraq: BREM-1 RepairVehicle

BM-21 Grad MLRS for Cuba, Lybia, and Iraq. The famous, or infamous MLRS is based on a truck providing high mobility and firepower.
TOS-1 Heavy Flame Thrower system for Russia and Iraq. The tank-based MLRS fires thermobaric rockets at moderate to short range (up to 10KM with new rockets), it provides a intensive fire power at short range against enemy personnels, light armor vehicles, and structures.
(13) Technicals for Cuba, Lybia and Iraq. Theses pickup truckes are armed with a dual 23mm AAG, providing fast transport and firepower across the battlefield.
(14) Stealthed infantries: Now Tanya (when not firing) and Snipers (when still and/ or deployed) are stealthed, providing them an edge against enemy long range attackers
(15) Kill driver function for snipers of all three sides: When vehicles of different armor level falls to a ceratin percentage of health points, (the more heavily armored, the lower the health point level needed for the enemy sniper to perform a kill-driver attack)
Enemy Snipers can attempt to shoot the driver and make the vehicle neutral.
(16) Driver function for GIs, Conscripts and Light Infantry (initiated) for all three sides: Now these infantries can capture neutral vehicles by entering and commandeering them. (Can be used in conjunction with the kill driver sniper functions)

i suggest that you must retain or add some experimental units and countries to yuri faction
Thank you sir! It was a very old decision made during the making of this mod to re-skin Yuri's faction into People's Republic of China, when ARES weren't available to me (which allows me to add new countries with specific settings) It is certainly possible to remake the Yuri's faction, but it would require a-lot of work as to re-code the units and AIs. Several update-cycles might be needed to accomplish that...
can i play this on cnc.net
I personally use Origin CNC ten years version to test the game....
I think the syringe.exe made by ARES team should work in any platform as long as the original exe excutable is present
