The thirteenth Red Alert 3 profile has been released; this week it's the Soviet Twinblade:

This sturdy, well-armored mainline combat helicopter features swivel-mounted dual heavy-duty machineguns in addition to four rocket launchers slung under the wings. Further, its three-rotor design (two main rotors with one in the tail) gives this gunship unparalleled stability among similar aircraft. It bears mentioning that the Twinblade's machine guns, which pack more than enough punch to chew through an enemy squad in no time, are ill-suited against armored vehicles--though, of course, that's what the rockets are for. This is a deliberate trade-off to reduce the mass of the Twinblade, which helps make the gunship remarkably quick, yet muscular enough to transport a Tesla Trooper fire team or even a V4 rocket launcher to and from the front.



You can read the full article, along with a short video of this unit in action here, at RedAlert3.com.

Realism is so overrated it isn't even funny. You already know what happens in reality, how is that entertaining...?

Twinblade seems to work fine, maibe AT missiles are a bit too powerful. I'm curious if this unit is able to transport even an apocalypse tank.
Together with best modders since 2003.

The Rockets won't really be able to take down a carrier that fast; the damage has been enhanced for demonstration purposes.

Nice. I like the way the tank "looks around" while being carried.

Soul 2.4

Background process. Has something to do with some activity going on somewhere. Sorting junkmail, I think. No value or interest. Doesn't do much except hog resource.
