New Horizons is a mod made in tribute to the classic real time strategy game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge, originally made by Westwood Studios. New Horizons vastly expands the original game with an emphasis on realism, while at the same time preserving the elements that made Red Alert 2 unique. Youtube: 'RA2YR: New Horizons Mod'
A long-distance air-to-air intercept. Shown here are two Su-57's (playing as Russia), finishing off a couple Harriers. This, after a pair of Mig 31's intercepted a couple F-18's. If you spot enemy aircraft from a distance, you have more time to select your aircraft (preferably hotkey'd), to engage them. If done correctly, you can have dogfights across the map! Beats having the planes shot down over your own base.
I wonder if it'll include some of the very nice SU-47 Berkuts eventually, that'd be very nice as I freakin' LOVE that aircraft after all... ^-^
Ahh, yes kalidrone, the Su-47 is indeed a beautiful aircraft. I have been generally adding serial-produced aircraft/vehicles to the game, and unfortunately the Su-47 is more of a technological demonstrator/prototype. If I remember correctly it had very high low speed manoeuvreability, but the drawback of the forward swept wing was the limited top speed stability. Well even if I can't add one as a buildable serial aircraft based on this, I guess I could add a one-off to a future mission map ;)
