To see how Hailfox would be like (I'm sure Martinoz showed it in a video too), here's a video.



A little note: Those barrels that exploded has been removed from BR2's Brain Reset so that people have one less reason to be frustrated. It's not the players' fault no one ever invests in fire brigades (I do not mean Pyro the Fire Fighter ).

Since it has been spoiled, it has no harm to tell that Hailfox will use napalm bombs.

Did MentalMeisters already decide on Nighthawk's weapon of choice? Seeing the anti structure pattern with Hailfoxes and Blights, we can assume, that Allies, who already have anti tank jets on T2 could also have anti structure T2 ones. Maybe conventional bombs?

maybe even anti armor

How about some highly effective anti infantry / aircraft? Just give it a minigun like weapon with cellspread and fire in attack runs (Ilyushin style).

[MrFreeze777]

How about giving the Nighthawk HE missiles that's anti-aircraft/anti-structure/anti-infantry with AoE damage. 

[Petya]

Well Nighthawk is already a HE at least its pilot is a HE, so there is no need for HE rockets. And Nighthawk should be a bit disadvantegeous compared to the other sides, because allies can make as many of them as they want.

[MrFreeze777]

HE = acronym for High Explosive 

Apart from that, so making Nighthawks isn't limited to just Tech Airfield only, you can make more from Air Force Command HQ/Runway?  Nice.

Wait, it's not a beefed up stallion with weapons (vanilla nighthawk)?

1. Go to this link(http://mentalomega.c...?page=changelog).

2. Press Ctrl+F.

3. Type in "Nighthawk".

 

You're welcome. 

[Atomic_Noodles]

Remember the time when Stallions were Nighthawks and had a Mediocre Anti-Infantry Machine Gun? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

 

@Meyerm Theres a reason why the New Tech Airport has Landing Pads.

Nighthawk = F117 = Jet Fighter

[Sizyfos31]

So it will eventually be anti structure. Ace Combat 2 taught me well   . Bonus points for making the sprite to actually resemble to F117 Nighthawk.

The Soviets and Allies need a unit like the brute: immune to mind control and relatively cheap. I have had some times that I lost a match, because my oponnent mind controlled almost my whole army. And Terror Drones will not help and Robot tanks are meh against units.

you could simply use warhawks and the dreaded wofhound

But what if you are not USA or Russia?

[lovalmidas]

You miss the Pyro. While they can be mind controlled, they are very resistant to their own attacks. As long as you have more Pyros than Adepts/Elites, Pyros are likely to walk through fire and flames and win. They are quite durable, and more spammable. Just don't send them against Thors.

 

The Soviets are quite expected to be able elbow their way through anyway.

 

The Allies are more the butt monkey of anti-mind control weaponry. You can always try Rocketeer spam though.

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

You really think that Soviets / Allies would have a non-robotic, non-hero infantry that is immune to MC, while Epsilon has the technology to manipulate minds to such a point that these infantry become MC immune? Where's the sense in that, at least in Act 1? I'm sure that Act 2 will focus more on YR, perhaps somewhat different and there the Allies get the Robot Tanks in the story, while Soviets already had the Terror Drones. 

I doubt that neither Soviets or Allies will ever find a way to manipulate the human brain, without having captured 1 Adept or something, in such a way to make infantry MC immune. It just doesn;t make sense, since I'd expect Epsilon soldiers are smart enough not to be captured

They're called Rocketeers. They Immune to mind controlled and really powerful when amassed. They are also cheap at the cost of $550. As Allies you can also use both Mercury weapons, all 3 heroes, all T3 siege units, and air units like Thors and Warhawks against Adepts/Elites.

 

For Soviets, there is the already mentioned Pyros, though you can also use the more expensive Desolators/Eradicators. When mind controlled, they can't do jack shit to each other since they are totally immune to their own weapon. You can even use the deployed radiation field when outnumbered by Adepts/Elites due to enemy having Cloning Vat. You can also use all heroes except Yunru, T3 siege especially Buratinos, massed Nuwa Cannons, or air units with anti-infantry weapons which all 3 Soviet sub-factions have against Adepts/Elites.

 

When against Masterminds just spam a ton of cheaper units like T1 infantry/tanks, use air units, use units with EMP weaponry, or use Charon Tank, Zepher Artillery, Terror Drones, cybernetic stolen tech infantry/Future Tank.

Remember when grizzleys were mind control immune? XD And does EMP on mastermind release its victims?
