Command & Conquer Red Alert History is a small mod that adds a few new units. The idea came about because I wondered what a few Red Alert units would look like and perform inside the Tiberium wars engine. I consider this mod a 'museum', wherein I add a few historical pieces that I like into the C&C3; engine! The Mod will be updated by adding a few units at a time (typically around 10 items). The mod is a mixture of mostly EA & public models, as well as a few original models done by me. Check the forums & articles for detailed information and for in-depth discussion.
*Pre-alpha Release 8 testing*
Here is a look at some testing of a basic version of the IFV!
This has been my major project for this release, and there is still a lot of testing to do (and as such a lot that could still go wrong).
The thought has been so far that it is better to get a smaller number of variants working efficiently, rather than having a larger number of not very well thought out variants, that cause issues.
The major feature is naturally the repair IFV, and as demonstrated, you can both manually target a vehicle (the 'target' cursor that you get when you press the button, has since been changed to a wrench icon), and more importantly, if left idling near any damaged allied vehicles, will automatically start repairing them!
At the very least Release 8 will have this basic set up (if you place a Conscript in an IFV you will get the 'Gun' IFV, if you place a Soviet Engineer, you will get the repair IFV).
There is a modelled homage to the infamous 'President IFV' that I am thinking of using as Tanya's IFV, but that would need some more work to properly implement.
Also some ideas (and a model), was done for a 'Spy' IFV, but that still needs a lot of work in terms of code.

*Pre-alpha Release 8 testing*
Why is the default weapon a cannon though? Doesn't it make it overlap with the tank, or will the tank be moved as higher tier anti-armor?
Probably a reference to the Light Tnk, that Allies had in RA1, and it had it's specific role as either a Rush or Swarm unit, compared to the better able Medium Tank.
Indeed it is!
