Christmas Update news

Welcome back, Commander. We were getting worried there, for a while... But its ok. Your back now. And we have some new toys for you to play with.

The Americans ruled the sky for an awful long time. I think they may still think they do... but they don't. Not anymore, at least. The Sentinel is a fully integrated Triple-A system designed to leverage our new discoveries in Ultra-Low-Band RADAR, illuminating targets without them ever knowing, before launching the pair of SkyFighter missiles mounted near the RADAR Dome. These are among the most lethal missiles in production to hostile aircraft. With newly designed SCRAMjet engines, they fly straight to their targets- they don't miss. Ever. I've flown with the best of them, sir, but damn, these things still scare me.

The Prisoner embodies UAN aircraft. Designed with little other than speed and firepower in mind, its quite capable of hitting targets at long range with the full extent of its munitions: 2 "Feng" missiles for Air to Air combat and an autocannon for bringing down the fire on anyone unlucky enough to be beneath them. I wouldn't consider them that great of a threat, except for the fact that their new pilot training program has actually given them some decent enough pilots. During the training exercise "DRAGONS PATH", they actually managed to "kill" several of our Starchildren. This is a worrying development in the world arms race.

We've done a little research on what the Americans are doing too... and its doesn't look good. Since the disarmament, they've been building bigger and bigger tanks. This, sir, is the biggest. They took the one of the massive plasma cannons they've been experimenting on with their old Iowa class battleships, and mounted it on a tank chassis. Just like that, they had this, this, monstrosity. The Atlas. It would seem to be in a class of its own, still in prototype stages- so I doubt if things go to hell, they'll have more than one to throw at us. Though I doubt they'll need more than one...

She's a pretty thing, isn't she? The Massive Aerial Strike System, pride of the WEA. This baby is an armored blimp with a pair of high energy pulse cannons and a shitload of attitude. Kinda like those hot chicks who need to spend all their time arguing? Well, this is just like 'em. Like I said- she's got a pair of pulse cannons, a hardpoint that we can probably stick another one onto if you have the time and cash to spend (and you find some ridiculous need for more firepower). That, and she's got a nasty habit of leaving behind our new RDT's (Rapid Deployment Turrets)- little computer controlled bastards that'll surely ruin the day of any stinger team trying to take her out. She's one hell of an epic bitch, so I wouldn't cross her, even if theres only one out there.

It appears the WEA have been testing the currently experimental M.A.S.S

Likewise with their new Railgun Troopers

The USA have responded by testing the Atlas siege tank

The missiles reign from above from a currently unclassified unit. Caution is advised.

That's all we wanted to show you today. It was a pleasure for the EC team to give you this special present this X-mas. This is the EC team wishing you all a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

EC Team signing off... for now.
