A fan for Real life Military equipment ? then this is your mod ! it is a Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge mod that basically imports a lot of RL military hardware from the cold war era in the 60's to the late 2000's while maintaining a lot RA2 aspects like prism, tesla tech and etc. Also, It expands on the original RA2 armor system thanks to ARES in which it creates more roles to create numerous units effectively expanding the complexity of handling an army making it necessary to use mixed arms to counter the various unit types. Also, do note that each country will have some twists in their military equipment that will be more or less similar to their respective RL counterparts. In short: it is a relative to reality fun mod but "a fun mod" is conservative statement.
Allied and Soviet navies will follow a similar path to RA1 albeit a modified one. Allies will place more emphasis on its non-submerged naval vessels. On the other hand, the Soviet will lean more the submarines to complement its standard naval vessels.
The Allies will mostly have 1-2 type of submarines and the Soviets will have at least 3-4. Both will be able to build shipyards and sub pens to build the relevant units.
The kilo-class is a low cost, escort type light attack submarine. Its mission is simple, it either patrols the waters and dispatch of unwanted infiltrators or escort and protect its larger kin (Akula and Typhoon). It has 2 attack modes, the first is that it can fire its torpedoes and submerge to use its control tower fitted machine guns. The second, is that it would emerge and switch from using its machine guns to short range Igla MANPADs to intercept enemy aircraft. Note, this is the only sub-class in Soviet side thus far that can acquire and engage infantry and aircraft targets.
