An expansion/overhaul mod of epic proportions, with entirely rebalanced gameplay, expanded factions, new gametypes, graphical overhauls, and five new factions; stealth-based Confederate Revolutionaries, tower defense-inspired Atomic Kingdom of China, economy-focused Mediterranean Syndicate, DotA-esque Order of the Talon and spammy Electrical Protectorate.
The Fusion Torchtank is the results of an ongoing French project to develop a clean, renewable source of power based on the theoretical "fusion" of atoms, a process by which two atoms come together to form one element of a higher atomic number. It is hoped that the process of fusion will be simpler than that of atomic fission, a process that has eluded science ever since research into the concept began in the late 30s. The project has shown promising results; the first successful test generated a staggering 15 gigawatts of power. Unfortunately, this power manifested as a long tongue of blue flame that melted the entire humanities branch of the University of Paris, the most devastating event in the university's history since the fire of 1670. Civilian investors were turned off by these results, but the military immediately place an order for a hundred thousand units.
Now undergoing field trials, Allied High Command has high hopes for the Torchtank. In tests, the refined 'fusion torch' that gives the vehicle its name has shown itself capable of melting, vaporizing or otherwise completely destroying any material it came up against in a matter of moments. Unfortunately, the Torchtank is hampered by an unfortunate combination of sluggish movement and short range. Hoping to mitigate this, Command has taken steps to increase the vehicle's mobility, by allowing it to use it's fusion torch as an improvised rocket to take (somewhat comical-looking) flight. Though it cannot use it's weapon when flying, obviously, it can use this mode to close with the enemy, escape attack, or simply cross bodies of water.
awesome
i don't know if im reading it right but it some kind of microwave/flamethrower wave beam w\e tank and secondary is a flight mode?
Pretty much. Picture a weaponized welding torch. You have to get this thing right beside an enemy unit to use it, but if it gets in range, it'll kill almost anything pretty much instantly.
You had me sold as soon as you combined the words "torch" and "tank"
...but it was made by the french...even the soviets know they surrender easily...(after all they did in RA3)
