I wonder what its special perk will be, and what the blue ball is for. Psychic torpedoes?

My kingdom for a long range mindcontrolling sub, as a replacement to the Resheph for PsiCorps.

I hope it can shoot air, epsilon stands no chance against coronia in water, piranhas can't damage ptranodons without them out damaging them

[Damfoos]

Well, so far the changelog says

++ added: new naval unit for all Epsilon subfactions - Nautilus, a T3 naval engagement heavy torpedo submarine

so I guess it is something like Boomer (obviously without the missiles), maybe even uses the same VO. What I find strange however, is how it moves: the part with the ball seems to be the frontal part of the sub (judging by how the sub is positioned on the picture), while the sub's shape clearly tells it would be much easier to move forward if the part with the ball would be the back part instead and the opposing long part would be the frontal one. Not sure if what I've just wrote is understandable, so I'll put it simplier: it looks like it would move in reverse faster than it would move forward.

Had the same guess, yeah.

WHY YOU WANT NERF FOXTROTS?         IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AS PROCURED FROM SUKHOI CO WORKS?         YOU THINK NEEDS IMPROVEMENT?         THEN MAYBE YOU FIND JOB WITH ARMY OF RUSSIA!         YOU HAVE DRINKS WITH SUKHOI ENGINEERS

,         TRADE STORY OF MANY JETS DESIGNED AND DETAILS OF         SCHOOL FOR ENGINEERING!        

        OR MAYBE YOU NOT DO THIS.         PROBABLY IS BECAUSE YOU NEVER DESIGN PLANE IN WHOLE LIFE.         YOU LOOK AT FINE RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT, THINK IT NEED CRAZY SHIT         STICK ON ALL SIDES OF JET.         YOU HAVE DISEASE OF AMERICAN CAPITALIST, CHANGE THING THAT         IS FINE FOR NO REASON EXCEPT OF destroy noobs tech rush

        FROM COMRADE.  YOU PUT price increased from $1300 to $1400 OF CHINESE SLAVE FACTORY ON ONE SIDE, YOU PUT BAD firepower per missile decreased from 92 to 70 OF AMERICAN MIDDLE WEST ON OTHER SIDE,         YOU PUT FRONT LASER ON BOTTOM SO YOU ARE LIKE         AMERICAN HERO TANYA ADAMS.                 MAYBE YOU PUT SEX DILDO ON TOP TO F*CK YOURSELF IN ASSHOLE FOR MAKING SHAMEFUL TRAVESTY OF PLANE, NO?

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or serious, but I love it none the less

He's now posessed by Mackintoke. We lost him.

[Thesilver]

oh boy.

[Nevermore2790]

The Nautilus. It is somewhat based on the Boomer submarines. Heavier than Piranhas. Can use Magnetic Field upon nearby mechanical units within its vicinity.

[Admiral_Pit]

This new sub surprisingly looks interesting.  Even though I always detested Epsilon, seeing disruption in navies besides just damage is interesting, while at the same time, having care to not have your own units affected is a great way to learn to manage your units well rather than just massing things.  Maybe this will also help encourage the use of Squids more as well seeing how they're immune to magnetic fields.

++ added: new Allied Act Two mission 'Hysteria'
++ added: new Allied Act Two mission 'Stormbringer'
++ added: new Soviet Act Two mission 'Noise Severe'
++ added: new Soviet Act Two mission 'Heartwork'
++ added: new Epsilon Act Two mission 'Lizard Brain'
++ added: new Epsilon Act Two mission 'Dance of Blood'

Aw yiss! If all the theories are correct, Heartwork might be the mission from that one loading screen with the Foehn-like building. And we'll learn about Yuri's object from space in Dance of Blood.

[Wayward Winds]

Stormbringer's the one I'm most intrigued by.  I want to see what the Pacific Front has been up to after the whole Korean incident.  Are they with China or against them?  Or will this be a breakaway segment still allied with the EA and USA?

Either way, answers!

[Handepsilon]

Btw, does anybody realize that 2 missions from Allied bear the same name of Foehn's OSTs?

[Solais]

Yep!

 

Also, it will be cool to play with the Pacific Front. The only mission where you played as them was The Gardener, but that was basically nothing. Will be cool finally playing a proper mission with them.

I also hope that we'll get briefings this time, to learn more of the story.

Yes to all of that. Playing Pacific Front for once cold be nice, especially given the fact Australia and New Zeland are part of it, but aren't really mentionned until now. And given the fact the briefings are a key part of the lore here, having thm would be nice.

 

But what do we know exactly about the missions which will be added? 'Stormbringer' involves the Weather Control Device, Heartwork... I only saw an old screenshot with Chinese troops were is the one with this Foehn-looking building? And... Well the other four missions.

[Tyhednus]

Nautilus will probably a great addition to the Epsilon navy. They needed a heavier anti naval unit. I question why it needs to be a sub, though. Epsilon now has 4 submerged units and one 'ship.'

Mission additions yay! Lizard Brain sounds like a Scorpion Cell mission. And Dance of Blood. *heavy breathing* Give me Yuri's island! Other missions sound interesting, too. As always.

[Nablis123]

can't wait to see if Yuri will fly to the moon to be honest, that must be coming soon ™

Cool! I do hope Libra's appearance!
