I like all the generals that are with the US but my favorite is the Superweapon when I play my defences are inpentrable Hahahahaha

and the laser general has some real units anyway spartan ther are already equipping military vehiciles with lazers nowadays.....just not as much or as powerful.

[00 Nobody]

GJ VG, now the laser gen will be much more balanced. It used to be I could just sit behind some PAL bases with snipers and watch the flaming men scream in terror. I was aginst 6 infantry gens that time .

Point is, he shouldn't be removed.

As for a unit that exist now to be put in, I say replace the AS-90 with the Paladin Artillery Platform. Also, make it so it can have the shells that split in midair to two parachute thingies that fire rockets (saw it on the History Channel in Modern Marvels: Cannons).

Now, I'd like everyone to get back on topic now, we're pretty far off.

Heres 1 for the GLA give them planes but not just any planes like those crapy propler powerd planes give them jets but not these high tech jets those jets from the 2nd world war it would give balance for the GLA cuz it makes sence if u give them jets from that time era wat do u think?

[Delta24US]

I dont really favor giving them af because the GLA is already pretty resourceful as they are and giving them an air force would be kind of a waste because the point is they do not need them. They have pretty good AA defense and use cheap rush and ambush tactics.

Although, giving them an air force in a tech airfield would never be a bad idea....

I think replacing the AS-90 with the paladin is a good idea because the AS-90 is a British tank - not American. downside is the current Paladin must be removed or renamed at least.
That makes me think - when you leave the mouse over a Hellbender it comes up with something really wierd like object_Hellbender not found or something in that little coloured box above the unit. dunno what made me think of that... oh well.

speaking of real life:
according to 1 of my mates who has a love of harriers told me that he heard that Amercia had OUR harrier decommisioned but then again you shouldn't believe everything that you hear

[Vanguard]

It hasn't been yet, it will be around for a few more years, until they finish testing on the JSF.

[00 Nobody]

I say rename the AS-90 to the Paladin Mobile Artillery Platform. And possibly rename the Uberlord to something more realistic.

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

I'm with that. any ideas?
How about "Tank of Doom"?

Funny you should mention that. I played a mission map that I got from C&C Den that had a souped up (modded) Overlord tank that had more armor, could carry 8 infantry, and when it died it exploded a nuke upon it's death. It was one heck of a tank of doom for that map.

Anyway, here's the mission map I'm talking about.

Name of mission is 'Super Units Mission' at:
http://www.cncden.co..._missions.shtml

This mission will work with PR installed.

Just a note here. The mission listed above it "Guantanamo Bay: OP Cuban Freedom" will not work with PR because it's has a heavily modded map.ini that is not compatible with PR.

[Vanguard]

And I say "No!" to the AS-90 thing.

[Jsmooth13]

Good because AS-90 sounds so much more realsistic.

[Vanguard]

That's because it is real, if I recall properly it's a British Artillery piece, but I could be wrong.

[Karlos Vandango]

and i think your right

AS-90 155mm - Self Propelled Howitzer:

'First delivered to the British Army in 1993, the AS90 equips 5 field regiments, replacing the Abbot and M109. AS90 is equipped with a 155mm gun which fires the NATO L15 unassisted projectile out to a range of 24.7 kms. Fitted with autonomous navigation and gun laying system (AGLS), AS90 can work independently of external sighting references. Central to the system is an inertial Dynamic Reference Unit (DRU). All main turret functions are controlled by a Turret Control Computer (TCC). This technology allows AS90 a burst fire capability of 3 rounds in 10 seconds.'

[Delta24US]

sweet, 3 rounds in 10 seconds? wow that ought to do some pain up someone's ass somewhere pretty far away lol.

The AS-90 is considered a howitzer right?

[Bob]

I'm no military expert or anything, but I think it could be considered that since it's a 155mm arty piece. Not real sure about if it can be called an actual howitzer though.

Hey, wheres 7th Panzer? He probably can answer that one.

Some more info, and much better pics of the AS-90 at:

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

Hey Bob, it says in your thing about the AS-90 that it replaces the M109. Isn't that what the Paladin artillery is initialled?

[Vanguard]

Yes the M109 is the Paladin.
