Explain Warranty Void lolStill, I think the one captured by Allies in Mission 5 was activated immediately when they got enough power because the Allies had no idea how the device worked. They could have accidentally send it to overdrive (for example, send all energy to mind control at once instead of charging slowly), which then led to its immediate destruction.
All factions don't start with all their tech in hand (more evidently in the case of Epsilon and Allied), and Foehn is most likely no exceptionAnyways, back on topic now, I think we are underestimating foehns condition a bit.
They have some of the most top tier tech in the future (( possibly )), have a airbase which deploys skystations and ground based artillery which can order orbital strikes, I have no doubt they are not in a desperate situation in the time where Yuri has taken over, infact, they might even be on equal terms with Yuris army, as Haiheads loading screen has some bits and pieces of america and europe (( speculation )), they might be in control of half of the world, but not having a numbers advantage due to many of the people being mindcontrolled, their weaponary and tactics are overwhelming, using air tanks, gigantic sword cutting robots and an amphibious infantry anti structure armoured transport.
Yep. The mission progress shows how their tech is slowly added as the war progress.
