Here are some of the new vehicles that are featured in Red Alert. Please give the credit to Westwood not to me.
Land Units
The
Medium Tank: In Command and Conquer Nod Forces had the Medium Tank,
a deadly weapon when used in groups. In this version the Allies have this
tank. The heavy tank will be reserved for the soviets. Giving the allies
more speed in attacking. What I use to do is very simple, I make about
30 to 40 of this I am unstopable !
The Supply
Truck: Available for both Soviets and Allies, used primarily to transport
equipment to the front line. You can't use it tough at all in multiplayer
missions, the computer controls it completely.
AT Mine Layer:
This unit is exlusively for the Allies it is supposed to lay up to
5 mines and one mine can destroy almost any armored unit. In other words,
send your rifleman in first :) This units reload at the service depot.
It is preferable that you build several service depots to increase the
reload speed of all Mine Layers.
Mobile Construction
Vehicle: Westwood followed up on the request by Command and Conquer
lovers. This is a moving construction yard, to avoid the constant attacks
on the Construction Yard. This unit is supposed to be very expensive, but
worthwhile, we all remeber the frustration of having lost a Construction
Yard in the middle ot a game. This option is just available on multiplayer
missions !
Air Units
Badger Bomber:
Here is the airplane that will transport your paratroopers to their
target. This plane is also capable of dropping parachute bombs. This is
a very light armor plane, in other words, it can be knocked of by anything
that can shoots up in the air easily.
Apache Longbow:
The equivalent of the Orca in Command and Conquer, is equipped with
Hellfire Missiles, very good for attacking armored ground units before
they attack. This unit is just available for the Allies.
Hind: This
is the copter for the russians, just like in C&C, this unit has chain
guns to destroy the enemy, the advantage of this copter is that it has
a huge ammount of ammo, decreasing with that the constant reload time.
MIG: The
Soviets will have a Jet that will carry high precision missiles and will
be a mortal enemy because of their fast speed. Excellent unit to attack
ground units that have no air defense.
V2 Rocket
Launcher: Although this is a ground unit, it attacks through the air.
This is Werner von Braun's Wunderkind. This unit will be available for
the Soviets (Did Werner von Braun sell his ideas to the russians, unlikely
for the storyline). This unit is supposed to have a large range and has
an awesome destruction level. Since it has low armor, protect it well from
air units !
Sea Units
Cruiser:
Just like in real life combat, this is a slow moving ship that carries
high firepower. This unit, just like their counterparts in real life, have
a wide attack range and should be used in combination with other vessels,
because of their inability to protect themselves from Submarines or destroyers
effectively because of their inacuracy.
Submarines:
The remedy against Cruisers, this unit operates basically under the
same principle that the Stealth Tanks in C&C, you can't see them until
they attack, once they attack they are very vulnerable to other units.
