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 invention of tesla energy generation, and weaponization, proved to be a civilization-changing technology for Russia. After the few first success of the first version of the Tesla Tank on the battlefield, Stalin ordered the creation of a ministry dedicated to the development of high technology with military application. The Ministry of Warfare and Defense Advancement, however, struggled to provide anything more than unusable prototypes for multiples decades. As the ministry's budget was to be gutted by the Central Party, and interesting development occured : one early vehicle prototype sank a tank in the nearby river where the testing were done. The report, low on details, intrigued the bureaucrates so much so that all files regarding the project ended on the Central Party desk the very next day. Normally disregarding the ministry's projects as nothing more than intellectuals testing unethical theories all day long, the members of the Party were in such disbelief that they requested a demonstration in Moscow. Needless to say that this magnet-heavy prototype secured the funding of many more projects after the showcase.
The Magneto Tank is a Russian unique vehicle, replacing the now obsolete Scavanger Tank. Pretty similar to the Scavanger, the Magneto uses an heavy grinder at its front to attack target at close range and reduce anything to a pile of scrap. However, it is also equipped with a giant magnet collider that will grab and pull light and medium vehicles toward itself, allowing it to use its grinder on the now closer victim. Due to the amount of energy required to pull multiple tons of steel on a distance, the magnetic collider will need some time to cool off once used.
And with that, I can announce that the mod development is back on track at regular pace. The model was made by Crazy Bird, the voice acting by Haubibban, the attack animation by ppap11404 and the magnet animations by Volkov T-666
Although I wonder why not make the vehicle able to stun the targeted vehicle (at range with EMP) and pursue it with grinder instead, as it more feasible then lifting 60-tons tank to the sky, but well this works too I guess.
Same effect, Same outcome really if it's an isolated enemy unit.
You can easily break enemy formation using this method. EMP tech is an Allied tech.
i like it either way! and in this way its different than the mobile grinder of ra3
Good to have replacement for Scavenger, for pity it still didn't do well after many tweaks.
This is literally the Magnetron, no longer used by Yuri.
How is it the Magnetron?
