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.
Last week I said that the Battle Fortress was removed from the Allied roster. Here's what will replace it in 1.0.6a : the Centurion Walker.
It appears mechanized walker vehicle are the future, at least according to the US and the Pacific Shogunate. The Centurion Walker brings the Allied in the next generation of armored warfare. Standing tall on its legs, this mech is designed to be used as a medium range unit. It has a longer range than most tanks, and can use this advantage to fire over walls. However, it also means that its minimal range is much higher, rendering it vulnerable at close range.
The EU doubled down on its armor doctrine by refusing to integrate the Centurion within its arsenal, as it is replaced by the Sturmpanzer. To make up for the integration of the Centurion within the US and PS ranks, the Sturmpanzer was modernized. In an effort to give it more versatility, the tank now has two M.I.S.S. (Missile Interception Sub-System) component. Also, it will now deal slightly more damage versus infantries and building (it used to make no damage to them). This won't make the Sturmpanzer a good choice to attack an infantry battalion or some enemy buildings, as it is still very much specialized in anti-armor warfare, but it makes it a better support vehicle when fighting along side other different units.
The Centurion Walker's model was made by Crazy Bird, and animated by myself.
I LOVE how much it looks very similar to the GDI Titan unit from Tiberian Sun, great work, seriously. ^-^
The Allied in RA20XX are very inspired from GDI ;)
I think the one change I'd make would be a bigger muzzle flash maybe.
You'll have to bring it to Elite then :P
IMO needs slower speed, 'cause walkers of such size definitely wouldn't "run" same speed as vehicles(plus walking animation is kinda sluggish for such move speed).
Fixed!
its speed is too fast.
Fixed!
