Hello again ROTR fans!
This week, we've got something a bit more elaborate to show you. First, I'd like to mention that we've completely revamped the GLA airforce which also includes some new additions to simplify the whole thing, to make it easier to use, and most important of all, more fun. For one, the current Interceptor and Gazelle now have a fixed loadout that can no longer be changed, making their intended function more clearly defined. Additionally, each level of the unlock now grants you access to an extra airstrip, allowing you to construct a maximum of three at the third stage of the unlock. To make up for the fact the changes in armament, the GLA will also receive two new aircraft, the first of which is the Mi-6 Hook helicopter:
As of late, Mi-6 cargo helicopters have been sighted supporting GLA forces in several conflict zones across Africa. Codenamed the 'Hook' by NATO during the Cold War, this rugged piece of Soviet-Russian engineering was the world's largest and fastest helicopter for quite some time following its introduction back in the 1950s and despite its age, it is still a versatile heavy transport. The GLA use the Mi-6 to quickly airlift troops and materiel to the battlefield. Military intelligence agencies still speculate as to how the GLA got a hold of the the aging helicopters, with at least some of them having been traced back to corrupt elements within the armed forces of Kazakhstan, the Ukraine and a number of African countries.
Reports have indicated that the GLA have modified a number of their Mi-6 Hook airframes to serve as transport gunships similar in function to the famous Mi-24 Hind. A variety of anti-tank missiles and rockets of former Soviet and Chinese origin have been mounted on pylons under the helicopter's wings and auto cannons are mounted on each side of the fuselage near the fore. The jury-rigged conversion has a significant negative effect on the helicopter's manoeuvrability and acceleration, but its firepower is very considerable and it retains a degree of transport capability. Extreme caution is advised when encountering any of these modified helicopters.
And again, some screenshots showing our new content in-game:
The first screenshot shows a small GLA expansion where a Scorpion is being dropped off by the new Mi-6 cargo helicopter. Note that this particular version of the Hook is used purely as an uncontrollable delivery aircraft for drops.
The second screenshot shows the new Fanatics and RPG Insurgents which will be spawned from a GLA Ambush from now on instead of generic Rebels and Tunnel Defenders. The change is purely visual.
As always, we would like to remind you that there will be another stream on this Sunday:
Countdown until the stream starts
Also, in case you missed last week's stream, you can check it out here.
nice!
so i can assume that now we can train 3 gazelles instead of 2?
You were always able to train an infinite amount of Gazelles.
sorry i messed up the aircraft what i meant is if we can train more than 2 interceptors
yes, you'll be able to build 3 airstrips which is equivalent to 6 interceptor type jets (remember there are now 2 types of interceptors with 2 fixed loadouts)
cool
i cant play this game anymore because my computer is too good and i lost my copy
but im happy to see this mod still getting updates and im really glad to see the GLA getting some proper aircraft instead of "suicide planes" all the way ... GLA need a proper air force too!!!
go check out cncnz(dotcom they keep updating the old games (classic to generals) so that they run on modern systems; and without the CD in the drive. I wouldn't be able to run this amazing mod if not for their patch. Though if you have multiple monitors, disable the ones you won't be using. The patch disables mouse-lock sadly :(
I was wondering what was that behemoth in the stream
Very interesting.
Will there ever be room for my favorite beloved plane called Su-25 Frogfoot to come back? Only thing the Russian faction is missing is a bomber for structures, every other faction has at least one type of a bomber. Maybe make it cost 3500, it would still be worth every ruble.
Does the lags and stutters fps problem from 1.86 has been fixed in 1.87? Because they were very annoying the gameplay.
Set the game priority to High with task manager if your computer is slow

"Filthy Americans! Fight on the ground like men!" -GLA 2 world wars ago.
The Rangers must be laughing their sanity off now that the GLA has a (more) proper airforce... not that it's a bad thing, now to load terrorists in them for "smart bombs". i wish they actually dropped/Para/rappled infantry though(but that belongs to the crazy game/mod) XD...
Oh, and is China next?
some one need to add this to the wikia

I only downloaded ROTR a few months ago and I have been very impressed with it so far. The Russian units are badass, especially the Sentinel tank and they have a great balance with the heavy tanks and anti air units like the Tunguska and the heavier grumble.
One thing I've noticed from the AI during skirmishes is that when the Computer plays as Russia they continue to build as many defences as possible and completely neglect their power requirements so eventually the entire base is unpowered. Also the AI's seem to keep building Supply depots even when all the supplies have dried up. I don't know if its possible to sort these minor issues but it would improve the gameplay quite a bit.
