Welcome back Generals!
This time we have some big surprises, especially for the Israelis and for the GLA, as well as a nice addition for the Americans.
Israeli Merkava 4 - New model:
The Israeli Merkava mk.4 MBT has a new realistic model now!
The new model includes a realistic turret of the Merkava mk.4 MBT and the new TROPHY anti-missile active-defense system.
This is the best Israeli tank, but it is very expensive. Requires Armored Division special technology. (The turret was originally modeled by IDF-Godzilla, the chassis modeled by Isotx's "MidEast Crisis" mod team, re-skinned and re-modeled by me - Abra).
Israeli Merkava 2:
The old Merkava model is now used for the Merkava mk. 2 MBT as it should be.
The Merkava 2 is the most common Israeli tank. It has less fire-power than the Merkava mk. 4 (but the same fire power as the Magach 7A tank) and 25% less armor (its armor is still stronger than the Magach 7A though). The Merkava 2 does not have the Trophy system.
Although this tank doesn't require any specialization, it is still quite expensive.
(Modeled by Isotx's "MidEast Crisis" mod team).
Israeli Namer heavy APC:
The Israeli Namer APC is based on the Merkava chassis, which makes it the heaviest APC around. Although armed only with a 7.62 mm machinegun, the Namer APC can carry up to 10 passengers, who exit and assist the APC while it is attacking a target, and get back inside when the attack is over (like the Chinese Troop-Crawler ability). Starts with 4 Israeli standard infantry soldiers inside.
The Namer APC is very expensive and requires Armored Division special technology.
(Butchered by me, from the Israeli Merkava and Humvee models originally made by Isotx's "MidEast Crisis" mod team).
GLA BM-13 Katyusha Truck:
The BM-13 Katyusha truck is the famous Russian made 107 mm multiple rocket launcher, widely used by terrorist groups.
In "A Global Crisis" the Katyusha truck replaces the Rocket Buggy for the GLA Stealth General only. (Thanks to Daniel Stack from "Conquer or Die" mod for letting me use this model).
GLA BM-21 Grad Truck:
The BM-21 Grad truck is another famous Russian made multiple rocket launcher.
Equipped with 40-barrels for launching the 122 mm Grad rockets.
The Grad truck replaces the Rocket Buggy for the GLA Demolition General only.
(Modeled by MaxON and Petruxa).
GLA MG Rebel:
This is the GLA's new Machine-Gunner.
He uses the RPK 7.62 mm light machinegun with a drum magazine.
Available for all GLA factions.
(Credit for the model goes to Namman2, re-skinned by me).
USA MG Ranger:
The American Machine-Gunner.
This soldier uses the M-249 SAW 5.56 mm light machine gun.
Available for all US military branches.
(Created by sgtmay@mchsi.com, re-skinned by me).
That's it for now.
An updated Game Manual with all the new units/abilities can be downloaded through here: Moddb.com
The release is coming soon (I'm not going to name dates or even time-frames, so don't bother to ask...).
Till then - No further updates. ;-)
Meanwhile, make sure to visit A Global Crisis official forum at: Isotx.com
this mod definitely looks amazing and truly one of the most anticipated,hope that it will be released soon.
All pics after the Israeli heavy APC aren't showing up for me.
Good update though. I hope this mod gets finished soon!
The model textures are absolutely INSANE! Quality like this is hard to come by.
I realy like the Merkava 4 looks nice :)
Excellent to see the Israeli Merkava 4 in there.. one well made tank... nice work guys... the mod is looking good...
i reeeeeallly think this mod is gonna be good, but i especially hope that he make a version that supports macs. that would be soooo cool. You have no idea how annoying it is to have that happen to you when you're looking at a cool mod but it's an .exe file. PLEASE SUPPORT MACS IN YOUR RELEASE. Other than that, nice models. especially the merkava 4.
I'm pretty sure that "A Global Crisis" will also work on Macs. :-)
My plan is to pack all the necessary files inside a .ZIP file with an additional .EXE file inside to run the mod.
But there is a way to install and run the mod even without the .EXE file (So it should work on Macs too).
In the attached ReadMe file, I'll explain how to do it manually.
Btw, this mod will be also available through CrosuS (games & mods management system, developed by Isotx), but I don't know if it's compatible with Macs.
(You can ask someone in the CrosuS board on Isotx forums at: Isotx.com).
Very nice update, Abra :)
Thanks for the positive feedbacks, guys. :-)

Soon... ;-)

i hope it come fast i cant w8
Is it just me, or the makers of Command and Conquer Generals really foresaw what will happen in the Middle East as of late?
