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.
The Second World War, pitting the Soviet against the Allied, introduced a revolutionnary doctrine to warfare. Both factions started to use modular base deployment, all starting from a simple Mobile Construction Vehicle (MCV). This new approach allowed commanders to rapidly deploy a fully autonomous military base quickly and at a reduced cost, while also securing strategic area with ease and producing every military units on-site.
While it allowed to unleash full military power fairly quickly and with unmatched ease, one type of building could never really be emulated this way : runways for jet fighters and bombers. Those required large space and were hard to maintain in close-combat situation, even if the Soviet managed to deploy Mig Fighter with some success towards the end of the war. After WWII, the Allied high command decided they needed to completely rethink their approch to airforce while using modular base deployment. In small scale skirmishes, it was decided to rely on low altitude airforce, which gave birth to the Orcas Project. Orca units were to be easy to deploy, low cost, medium speed air units, while traditionnal jet fighters and bombers were to be used from main military base, sometime very far from the combat zone.

For 1.0.5, all Allied Airforce got a visual overhaul. The new Orca Type H (Hunter) and Orca Type B (Bomber) have new models, while the Airforce Command Center also had a makeover.
Orcas are done by our good old Crazy Bird, and the Airforce Command Center is from Scipcion (shared with Ocey's Robot Storm X mod).
Oh yes, sexy
Indeed :P
you know the mod must be good if it has both scipscion and crazy bird making stuff for it.
Yeah I sometimes amazed and suprized by the amount of talent that contribute to the mod.
There's still some space for some McPwny talent, if you're interested (you're McPwny, right?)
I typically dont like to do buildings that are in the vanilla allied/soviet/yuri style, but i can make an exception for your mod if need be. What type of content do you need?
Are you still on Discord? I will send you something there. Otherwise, send me a private message here.
will Soviets get any planes in future?
Nope.
lol
However, the Orca Type-H is not just a Dropship from Starcraft. It is based on this design: Cncnz.com
What are the roles of the Orca Type S and Orca Type H?
