TL;DR (not)

Foehn already gets Jackal, which  is Awesome Personnel Carrier. I dont think they have a need for toys like that.

[Bernadiroe]

Well my idea was NOT for the purpose of a Personnel Carrier. It's actually doesn't have any personnel slot. So apparently you're not reading it... 

 

Oh well, it was because I'm afraid using the infantries and will keep hearing UNIT LOST UNIT LOST UNIT LOST but still want to see their attacks in action.

Did I? Oh well, I am glad I haven't been punished for that heavily vigilante act....

BUT TRY ME, I WILL END YOU.

*Armada appears*

*It then disappears*

We will find you, and you will never see us coming. We are Foehn.

Woah badass line there.

-Foehn Commander, probably.

[Solais]

Inb4 Foehn Heroine is Yunru Nano Synced. :V

[lovalmidas]

Lol. What next - Nanofiber sync working on non-Foehn infantry?

[Solais]

I did suggest that in some other thread.

 

But I meant the Foehn Heroine lore-wise.

Hrrmmm Sounds to me like Volkov may be getting a nano upgrade.

[Chrono Stormer]

If Foehn did reuse surviving heroes, Siegfried, Yunru, and Volkov/Chitzkoi would be potential candidates. They all rely heavily on mechanical equipment. Siegfried is pretty much a tank, Yunru has an exo-suit, and the Russian heroes are cybernetic. Most likely, there are new heroes for Foehn, but maybe the remnants of the Allies and Soviets will appear in Foehn's campaign.

[Solais]

Volkov and Chitzkoi combine with Siegfried's vehicle and Yunru's earthbreaker into a large mecha, piloted by Siegfried and Yunru mindmerged like in Pacific Rim.

[Chrono Stormer]

Foehnception. The conspiracy theorist deems it so; it must be true.

 

So this mechanical monstrosity would probably have Sieg's chrono cannon as its primary weapon, and an EMP/earthquake deploy weapon that also functions as a chrono shield. Plus it can ride in the Centurion, it just HAS to be able to.

 

This is beautiful.

Prolly missed it but who is doing the soundtrack for Foehn?

[Solais]

I think those who made the music for the original reveal video.

[Protozoan]

Who dat

[Graion Dilach]

World Beyond.

[Chrono Stormer]

Speaking of the soundtrack, I know of about the three confirmed songs and the others from the trailers that most likely will be included, but is there any new, er, news about the other tracks? Unless it's all top secret stuff hidden in Coronia's hurricane.

 

*Edit*

 

Completely unrelated, but Nanofiber Sync only works on infantry, correct? Applying it to tanks might be a little too catastrophic. Just imagine a Mastodon II...

Here's my idea as to who the Foehn heroes are.

 

Wings of Coronia:

 

Hala - a defected Epsilon adept who realized just how much destruction Yuri's quest for power has caused the world, outfitted with a modified Garuda powersuit equipped with Foehn's only surviving Mjolnir beacon, Hala (much like her Southern Slavic folklore namesake) can call down the wrath of the sky but can also use her psychic powers to "reward" her allies with increased accuracy and focus. Gameplay-wise she's a faster, but weaker Thor Gunship with the ability to make units below her more powerful instead of tougher.

 

The Last Bastion:

 

Koschei - A surviving Soviet Spetznaz outfitted with Yunru's exo-skeleton (the poor girl had completely lost her mind by that point), modified to include twin Blizzard Tank Thermal Inversion Cannons in place of the suit's Earth Breaker and Hacking Device. He is devastating against buildings, infantry and aircraft but is less adept at taking down tanks.

 

Haihead:

 

Loki - A Norwegian protege of Siegfried and one of the survivors of SteinTech Academy's evacuation, he wields one of the last remaining Chrono Legionnaire suits and a modified "Confusion ray" allowing him to sow discord and chaos among his enemies and vanish in the blink of an eye. He can also plant "chrono vortex" charges on buildings which will erase the building from existence unless removed by an engineer fast enough. His suit doesn't have a high charge capacity necessitating long periods of waiting as Siegfried chronoshifts more charges from Foehn's base of operations.

 

As you can see I'm going by the commonly accepted fan theory that Foehn is a hybrid of surviving Allied and Soviet forces, hence the heroes containing elements from them.

[CLAlstar]

Okay, let's accept that theory. But what if they do not have any plans to use their previous tech as it was >ineffective< against epsilon and stick to their new, unknown for us methods?

[Speeder]

While I haven't discussed the story too much and let others speculate, I thought that the newly revealed units of the Foehn Revolt would strongly suggest there will be no "tech-scavenging".
