Iron Dragons and Hydra, Focus Tank weren't OP and they are interesting concepts. They should at least be available in the campaign.

 

[Atomic_Noodles]

Yes, the Emperor Tank. I think that won't return because it would be easy to build defense structures to your enemy's base with it.

 

If you can only mind control Defense Structures (i.e: Tesla Coils,Prism Towers,Railgun Towers) It should be okay.

Iron Dragon and Focus Tank has outdated artwork which wouldn't fit along with Azri's. The update on Hydra Cannon I made would've do but even Hydra doesn't fit to 3.0. It was at Russia for a long while, but then Pyros went into from LC-only to generic and Demo Trucks turned into T2, and these along with Borillo made it redundant.

How about a replacement for the Navy Seal for the Pacific Front called the Katapatan. Katapatan is a Filipino word that means loyalty. The katapatan would be the Filipino special forces fighting against the Soviets and their allies, mainly China. They are almost like the navy seal, but instead of a sub-machinegun, they would have a M16A2 rifle that would be a visual replacement. They would also have a deployable grenade launcher that is attached to the rifle, while still being able to move around, that is effective against light-medium armored vehicles and buildings, but lacks the one charge explosion that a seal has. Due to their special forces training, they are able to swim in water, detect invisible units, and are undetectable to the mini-map due to training in jungle and urban environments. I fell that this unit will fit in well with the Pacific Front because it mostly comprise of unique units from Japan and Australia, with a Scottish driver for the battle fortress. The Philippines have close ties to the US in real life, and that the Philippines acts like frontline defense in a war with China. Although Russia was able to invade the US, the Philippines would be already occupied by the Chinese, but with the Katapatan and several surviving forces to keep them busy before the general arrives to help liberate the Philippines (new Act I campaign anyone?). Also, they should get a new voice actor for the battle fortress. It sounds weird to have a Scottish guy pilot a Pacific Front unique unit. The voice actor should sound either Japanese of Austrialian, but that's just me.

Actually, I wonder if Australia belongs to the Pacific Front or not, because the image on the PF loading screen suggests it's only Japan, South-Korea and other nations around it.

I'd consider Australia and Oceania as a new faction for Allies, for one.

[X1Destroy]

Well, it is said that the Hailstorm is an Australian unit. Not really sure though.

As a Filipino myself, I'd prefer "Katipunero".

Replacing an already overspecialized unit which has a needed role (bridge destruction) with another one which lacks this one just doesn't make sense for me. I consider the suggestion only but an excuse to insert Philippines into the mod.

[Martinoz]

There won't by any countries in mod, only subfactions.

[X1Destroy]

Can you add more house colors?

I'd like to see black, navy blue and maroon red in the future.

USA, Russia, China.

[mevitar]

They are big and powerful enough to warrant being subfactions of their own.

[Jargalhurts]

You know, I thought of this. United States really pales in terms of firepower compared to other powerhouse factions like China and Euro. So I wondered if the Suppressor (Allied stolen tech) could be added as a US-exclusive infantry to increase the chance of US's survivability. The Suppressor would do a good job in softening up heavy units and that would really come in handy for US. This is what I think.

[mevitar]

Gameplay wise it makes sense, and i don't really feel that PF or EA need them to begin with (it's more like "Hey, i infiltrated Pandora Hub, now i can build Suppressors. Meh, whatever."). Tech wise it doesn't, as USA doesn't really have access to any "nerfing technology". They would either replace Chrono Legionaires as "time manipulation infantry" for them, or use some sort of sound vibration device, but in the latter case that would still give USA more stuff than other Allied factions have. Plus, they already have the most faction specific stuff of all factions, so i'm not sure if Speeder would like that.

And there's the problem of designing a new stolen tech for the allies.

USA is good enough now with the Tanya IFV.

[mevitar]

Except that if China uses Nuwa spam, it is (almost) always super effective.

[Petya]

About the Nuwas... I think their range should be decreased, because they have almost the same range as Speeder Trike and they can shoot them off easily.

I agree, Centurion backed by sentinels and Nuwa cannons seems almost unstoppable especially if playing as the Americans.

[Admiral_Pit]

I wouldn't mind if the Nuwa range was decreased a bit.  Even so, they'll definitely prove a use against garrisoned buildings at least.  I mean the only option there is left is to make use of artillery, which China would probably EMP anyways (except for HQ's Stalkers).

Well instead of replacing the unit entirely, just do a visual replacement. The unit will retain the specialization of the needed role of bridge destruction. It just makes a little more sense that a M16A2 can kill an enemy infantry faster than a sub-machinegun. Also, you are right that is is an excuse to include the Philippines into the mod, but it adds to the Pacific Front theme a little more than a seal does. With the US dealing with an invasion, multiple missions across Europe, and the defense of the England anti-ICBM site, they would have their hands tied up sending multiple spec-ops to the other side of the world. But I don't want to bother you too much on this because this mod is really fun to play and I just wanted to speak up what was on my mind. But it would be nice to see this be implemented.

Thumbs up to that. I'm a Filipino myself, but I can't speak Filipino that much or fluently. Being born and raised on Saipan allowed me to be a natural born citizen, but with a bad aptitude in other languages.
