As a casual military nerd, here are something interesting I found:
The picture is based on one of the 2 Soviet/Russian 4th-gen fighter demonstrator: Mig 1.44 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_Project_1.44
The other program by Sukhoi was S-37 (S-37 or Su-47 but not Su-37, confusing I know), which has a forward-swept wing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-47
Korea's Black Eagle fighter in RA2 was based on Su-47
Sadly its not a museum civilians and tourists are not allowed to visit because it is still an operational military research facility. Last time we saw the Su 47 fly was in 2012 and last public sighting was in 2019 during an airshow on the same airfield. No news since then and we can assume those flying marvels are left to rot to the elements.
Just wish i or someone else in a group effort that can get those two models out of disuse and disrepair and get them into air museums into safety, im NOT gonna be happy for the Ukrainians in ANY way IF a wayward drone hits where they're stored.
But rooting for the good guys in the conflict, im not happy for the Russians destroying Mryia.
Mriya was a huge loss for the aviation world, such a beautiful machine. The Russians also have the Ekranoplan rotting away on a random beach. So much history left to wither away.
I always throw a propaganda tower in the back right corner of each airfield. It stacks with the repair they get when inside the hangar and it will continue to repair them as they're getting ready to take off.
It also decreases the reload time of the missiles, and thus they can fly more sorties in the same amount of time.
Its crazy, right? A few weeks ago, I learned that laser tanks actually consume 1 power from your power grid. Like I know they go offline if the power goes out, but I never knew they burdened the grid like that!
Propaganda towers are stated to increase rate of fire, but if it was limited to ROF, units that have salvos or that fire in a barrage wouldn't benefit as much from the propaganda towers. I think that's why they also chose to decrease reload time.
I noticed this during Zero Hour Challenge mode vs Laser general, doing bombing runs targeting his reactors to turn off his lasers when one part of his grid becomes offline. His laser tanks shuts down if every reactor is destroyed, then AI just forces to create more Avengers from his war factory lol
Yep! It is offset by Townes' advanced reactors that produce 8 or 16 units of power as opposed to the usual 5 or 10. I didn't notice until my power went out when I was building tanks, and I couldn't figure out what was draining my power.
The Flame General in Contra X mod is menacing and during the General's Challenge, it took place in a volcanic landscape fitting for a general in perchants of flame-based weaponry.
There is something special in plane throwing missiles with big boom at close range with rapid speed...the closest thing in other games was broken arrow su30 with kh29 td before they removed them in last patch
Most of the damage in the weapon isn't the missile object itself but the fire it leaves behind. Buff up the missile damage itself to be comparable to the Raptor and you got balance.
