Not Telling
A unit idea which follows the overall MO3 inspiration with RA 1:
General Nikos Stavros!!!
Background:
On the outcome of Second Great War general Stavros was left bitter and frustrated. The war influenced him more, than anyone could imagine. After he had witnessed the cruelty of russian grunts, ruthlessly murdering his Greek nationals, the death of the Stalin was just not enough. He was the man who demanded the most that the whole Russian high command and senior officers were accused of homicide and properly sentenced. Moreover, he wanted to charge the whole Russian nation with horrendous reparations and impose strict control over every aspect of Russian military and industry. However, his demands couldn't be fullfilled and he became a growing nuisance for Allied commanders. He was then hastily moved to be a reserve commander and subjected for quick retirement. After that, Stavros grew even more bitter and his hatred for Russians escaleted.
During the Third Great War the situation was growing desperate for Allies. The Russians were pressing hard and the Allied commanders were seeking for every possible opportunity to turn the tides of war. In that grim hour the Stavrous saw his opportunity to re-emerge and make the things his way. He was however too violent and mentally unstable to be a full - fledged general but he was the perfect candidate for a field commander. The military granted him access to a modified Thor gunship, the Achilles, which was more suitable for offensive purposes rather than defence. Stavros was perfectly fine with that.
Name: General Nikos Stavros/Achilles Gunship
Faction: Euro Alliance
Purpose: Offensive support hero unit
Cost: 3000
Weapons: upgreaded lightning storm beacon, speakers
Deploy ability: Stavros inspires nearby troops with his furious leadership. This differs from Thor's ability, as it increases all ground unit's damage and speed by 50%, but reducing armor by 25%
Description: Achilles is a faster and more durable version of Thor Gunship. Although is attacking power is not very formidable for a hero unit it is a perfect assault support vessel, due to it's powerful ability. Moreover, upon being taken down, the crushing Achilles deals horrendous damage by land crushing into target below (a lot more than a crushing Kirov, being able to level down the Con Yard). The Stavros will sacrifice anything to bring the Russians to their knees.
Remarks: Stavros should be voiced as an elderly man, who is seething with hatred as ordered to attack. His flying ship should be slightly bigger than Thor but more slim.
