Welcome to Red Alert 20XX. The aim of this mod is to pay tribute to old Command & Conquer games, while giving YR a fresh feel in a brand new cold war context.
Showing off a new unit : here's the Icarus Raider, the Rocketeer replacement for the Pacific Shogunate. It is armed with two 20mm machine guns against infantry, and fires a volley of micro-missiles against everything else. While a bit more resilient - and much costlier - than the standard Rocketeer, it is best used in hit and run tactics, since the reload time between missiles barrages will make it vulnerable to enemy fire without any means to retaliate.
The Icarus Raider also marks the removal of the buggy mess that was the Imperial Soldier. It was, along with the Samourai Mech, a unit I wasn't too fond of.
Credit to Machine for the SHP, and Atomic_Noodle for the recolor.
thank heavens you decided to get of those imperial soldiers, they were such a disaster!
The Imperial Soldier is what happens when you need to get that first release out and you have one unit concept you have to include at the very last minute!
🤣🤣🤣
