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.
The Sky Shield is a light-weight short range air defence system of Swiss and German origin. The central piece of a battery is the highly advanced fire control radar which can autonomously detect and track airborne targets. The moment an enemy aircraft moves into range, it will be greeted by the three 35mm guns that fire a special programmable round marketed as the 'Birdshot' for its ability to burst into a wave of shrapnel in front of the target, causing catastrophic damage to even the most heavily armoured airframes within seconds.
woah...
flakpanzer-ish stinger site...
nice idea...
:D...
Looks like it's automated, though. Or at least armoured. So sniper suppression won't work.
I wonder if the cannons will be able to hit ground targets.
yeah...
and it fits the ECA...
imagine it shooting down Ivan in his aircrafts...
it's like new year or 4th of July for our American friends!!...
or even a grand birthday celebration for general Willhem...
XD...
Or Guy Fawkes Day.
yeah...
AnyDayAsLongAsYouFeelHappy Day...
;D...
Technically it's called Guy Fawkes Night rather than Guy Fawkes Day
NiCE CAN IT HIT MULTIPLE TARGETS AT ONCE AND IS IT AA ONLY?
AA only and yes, it can hit multiple targets, just like a stinger site.
IS this for like one general or for EVERY general in ECA?
Wait and see.
:( awww lol
i don't think its for all of them, because the ECA also has the Goalkeeper AA
why only a trio instead of quad?
if it quad, it will be OverPowered !!!
:FUSRODAH:
The actual basic Skyshield system only has two.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyshield
Of course, that system is a bit older.
And given that the overall gameplay from ZH on kind of implies that missiles are lagging behind anti missile systems, I could see someone jury rigging another gun onto the thing rather than bother with the SAM system.
Probably the same reason the Stinger-Site has a trio :p.
It only has 2 of them now
So much defense structures for the ECA..... a re all of those cannons and bunkers will be available for the oruginal fraction? or something just for Hollandese General of Fortifications?
i think it will be avialable for all ECA factions
Looks dangerous.
Reminded me of Nod Defense structure in TW and KW. One hub, Three defenses
This here, is the true definition of anti-air.
well it still needs to go on a trio with anti-air ground and air units...
that's a true air suppression force...
:D...
S-300 would like to have a chat about that.
Guns > Missles. Faster reaction time, you cant outrun gunfire, and no effective countermeasures.
so cool! is it possible to estimate how long more for v1.8?
Man, how many defense platforms do these guys have?!
The same question: will ECA warships getting them? These are originally designed as ship-borne CIWS at first place.
Will the goalkeeper still be ingame?
It's been asked before, and the answer was 'yes'. I think it'll either be a different tier of AA or for a different general.
Sky Shield Battery: Raptor? pssss... please..
USA Raptor: Guy's we have a big problem..
"FLACK ATTACK!"
could the individual turrets be disabled?
Yeah, not a lot of planes are going through that alive.
