Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
Presented at the Beijing Anti-Terrorist Trade Show in 2009, the Hua Qing minigun was designed as a six-barrelled 7.62mm Gatling-type machine gun for Chinese infantry forces. Ever since then, the PLA had taken a great interest in rotary cannons and developed many indigenous designs that were often 'inspired' by American models and internationally marketed as the 'Gattling' series. Many US weapon manufacturers have filed lawsuits against what they perceived as a blatant intellectual property violation while the Chinese designers churned out model after model. During the Global War On Terror, this obsession with rotary cannons escalated to the point where the entire PLA Marine Corps was equipped with handheld 5.8mm Gattling rifles. Despite producing an undeniably impressive volume of fire, the weapons quickly earned the ire of the soldiers who often had their shoulders dislocated by the immense recoil. After the war - and the death of the erratic PLAMC General Shin Fai amidst the nuclear destruction of Hamburg - the weapons were phased out. However, the People's Army still maintained that a heavy-duty rotary cannon would be an excellent fire support asset for infantry forces and issued the latest three-barrel model of the Hua Qing to squads of dedicated weapon specialists, most prominently those of General Mau.
Continuing the deployable heavy infantry weapons line, eh?
Nice job!
this is a nice idea i like it
I wonder if this is gonna use the minigunner voice acting?
probebly after some editing..
It is actually =)
At least it isn't just a red guard with a couple extra white lines on its gun :DD coughcough zero hour coughcough
So what is the damage output of this unit? Comparable to the ZH Minigunner or more like the Gatling Tank (or even the Gatling Cannon)?
MARS described what benefits this unit has over a Gatling tank on the forums Forums.swr-productions.com
MARS: Actually, the Minigun Team is distinct in that it is a.) cheaper than the other Gattling weapons and b.) countered by different things. These guys can probably survive more hits from an actual MBT than a Gattlink tank and unlike the stationary Gattling, you can place a lot more of them in a tiny area to create an insane volume of fire. Couple that with a few Disruptor teams who can stun and/or destroy vehicles at a decent range and you've got a decent combination of units that allows you to create a defensive foothold without bringing in a dozer and wasting time constructing vulnerable and expensive structures.
Thanks for that :)
"It costs $400 000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds..."
What are the other 2 guys for?
Well one is holding ammunition and the other one a pair of binoculars so it can't be that hard to figure out :P
tho i don't think they serve any other use then visual
Unit would have more health than regular infantry and
it looks way cooler.
As cool as this is am I the only one who feels like this fits better with the ECA then China?
Can they garrison structures?
Could you please give me an answer?
