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 last "big unit" change for 1.0.6b is none other than the Apocalypse Tank. The older version of the Apocalypse was fearsome, but had severe strategic short coming : it required a lot of fuel to move around the battlefield. A better energy source was needed as the Allied figured they could simply strike fuel depot near the battlefield to break the logistic chain needed to feed the metal behemoth. Russian engineer were forced to come up with an updated version, and quick.
After WWI, the Russian technological revolution was fueled by the discovery of tesla as an energy source. While the many tesla reactors created could never be miniaturized to the point it could fit on a regular battle tank, the Apocalypse was so huge in shape that it could overcome this limitation. Hence the new Apocalypse Tank, having its own energy source and using two litteral Tesla Coil in an overcharged state. Making use of its size, a grinder was added to the front, allowing it to crush smaller vehicles.

A VERY nice super-sized alternative variation of the Apocalypse Tank, love it. ^-^
hehe thanks
No problem. It's like those classic "Monster Tanks" (from the "Monster Tank Madness" mission from the Red Alert 1 saga, here's the Monster Tanks in case you forgot: Youtube.com ) but on EXTREME STEROIDS...! Once again, VERY badass...! <3 <3 (Sorry for the late reply btw... ^^;
Looks more closer to Yur's design instead of something like a Tesla orb on top of the tank.
maybe giving it a more metallic look will be better.
It's fine as is imo
Same, it looks VERY BADASS as-is and I can't WAIT to use these metal monstrosities myself...! <3 <3 (Yes, i'm well aware that it'll most likely require a good deal of hoops to jump through in order to access them, not to mention just how expensive they must be to produce, but i'm more than willing to put up with all that if it means that I can utilize these awesome Mammoth Tank variations. ^-^
EDIT: Completely neglected to realize that this beauty isn't in RA20XX yet atm due to it being only in a yet-to-be-released version of this mod, stupid me. XD lol Still, something tells me that this "might" ("might" being the key term of course) be a Stolen Tech-type unit and if so then what Tech Center unlocks it? Or is it an upgrade to the standard Apocalypse Tank itself perhaps? Sorry, just making sure is all, i'm sure you understand. ^^;
Okay, this version of the Apocalypse tank is terrifying! Great work by the way! 👍
Thanks!
apocalype tank with tesla on top. who can stop him now?
Few, aside from air units :P
"The Apocalypse Has Begun..."
Also, this is almost like the Experimentals in SupCom, Epic Units but no build limit.
It still has rockets but no AA anymore?(you mentioned only air powers are potent)
It never had AA capability (maybe in version 1.0 of the mod, I don't remember).
The original Mammoth/Apocalypse Tanks did have AA capability with their Mammoth Tusk missile launchers, though I think that this variation trades them for raw ground superiority I think.
I'm going to be 'that guy' and admit I kind of hate this. Your old apoc was probably my favourite unit in a mod composed of great units. Making it a big tesla tank is a disappointment. I kind of dislike that a lot of RA mods flanderize their Russian subfactions into being merely the 'Tesla one.'
Sorry for being negative, just offering my honest feedback. I don't like how it looks.
The lore was alright, I guess?
To each their own. The tank is not changing tho.
IS THAT TESLA EMPEROR TANK ?
(well i see it in magnafires concept art)
