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.
The Sigma armed force's Iron Vanguard employs the Sd.Kfz. 121 Panzer II as a tank miner for improved protection and to act as an auxiliary tank unit if the situation arises for it to be used defensively or offensively to some extent. The miner is armed with a 20mm auto cannon to fend of light vehicular threats and 7.62 machine gun to deal with infantry. Also, this miner in particular sits in the middle between both of allied and soviet and side in terms of credit bail.
Guess, the Yuri faction relied to use ex-WWII weapons.
Yuri is a cheapskate.
