You just lose them in the sidebar build options, they don't explode.

 

Oh that, guess someone was right. Yuri manage to delete the "data" files that prevents the Soviets from building more of them, those that survived were sabotage or so

[Solais]

I guess in 3.0 they exploded, but that would be a plot hole in Act 2, because those cloning vats in Spain still survived, so it was changed, I guess?

Nope, 3.0 Dragonstorm didn't do a thing to 'em at all.  No message saying access to the technology was being removed, no sudden disappearances from your build options, and the existing ones went right on existing all the way to the end of the mission.

 

I really don't know where this idea that the existing Psychic Sensors/Cloning Vats explode came from.  It's not even in Speeder's 3.3 Dragonstorm video (referring to that because we already know from Volkov's nerfs that some things were changed between those videos and the 3.3 release).  The only place I've seen it mentioned is on TV Tropes, and we all know that that's hardly a reliable source of information.

Guys, the ones in Spain were built and under control of the Confed, not the Russians. And the Confed might have theirs own archives with info about the cloning tech, so it's not strange that they still have it. 

Pretty sure the Chinese still have it too. The cloning tech have pretty much been mastered  by all 3 sub-factions so removing it completely wouldn't be that easy. The psychic tech is a different thing, because right now nobody know how to train an Adept.

It's said they have managed to keep them inact and working, which means there was some threat to begin with. I'd say you're taking it too seriously, tell me why Yuri had to resort to snatching old tank designs, if during Epsilon missions we were able to capture enemy units, bases and Construction Yard, why not reverse-engineer them too?

[Handepsilon]

One can indeed argue that the reason why Soviet doesn't use the cloning tech because they don't want another Huehuecoyotl

Seems there's some misinformation going around. We really have to clarify things.

I swear to god I saw the cloning vats explode and/or a message saying tech was stolen.

 

Maybe check Martinoz's videos; they're 3.0 playthroughs.

[umbracatervae]

Maybe that exploding things work differently depends on difficulty, mine on easy don't explode

Perhaps? It is not well sure if the Latins manage to report that to the Russians during the chaos in moscow.

[Speeder]

Those Vats were never supposed to explode and never did.

[Flandre]

Those Vats were never supposed to explode and never did.

From that wiki: "Some things were still left unclear to the General; Where did the traitor Yuri disappear to after he refused to show up at the Kremlin and why did the Psychic Sensor & Cloning Vats mysteriously self-destructed themselves?"

 

It must be scripted to me.

[Handepsilon]

We all know that the wiki at its' current state is not a viable source of information....

Who is the soldier in the Foehn skirmish score screen?
Is that 'real' Fin?

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

Doesn't look like a knightframe, and fin has a sniper rifle.

 

So I think its a Foehn commander or leader? I dunno.

Probably some random concept art. The helmet seems oddly familiar tho.

[nikitazero678]

For me the soldier in Foehn victory banner resembles that of Uragan.

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

Except that uragan flies.

[Solais]

It somewhat reminds me of Tiberian Sun...

[Divine]

I think it's actually inspired by the cancelled game C&C Tiberium.
