Allied Vehicles

Vehicles

Aircraft Carrier: Launches VTOL (vertical take off and landing) aircraft to attack enemy targets. If the aircraft die, the carrier replenishes them at no cost. We witnessed one aircraft make very short work of an enemy Tesla Coil with just a couple of attacks - testament to the power of the aircraft.

Dolphins: The Allies have trained Dolphins to help them in the fight - they're mostly useful for pinging out hidden Soviet subs, but they also possess a sonic weapon on their back which they can use to attack ships. It's not very powerful though.

Chrono Miner: The Allied ore harvester has Chrono technology - it drives out to the ore field, picks up its load of goodies and warps instantly back to the refinery!

Aegis Cruiser: Like real life, these ships specialize in anti aircraft. Their missiles can even shoot down the long range rockets fired by Soviet warships, not just manned aircraft.

Prism Tank: These tanks use Prism technology to attack. The concentrated light beams they shoot can actually bounce off targets and hit nearby units. Think chain lightning from Diablo and you have the basic idea.

Mirage Tanks: Mirage tanks can take the form of random objects on the map like a rock or a tree. They can even fire while in cloaked form - they uncloak when they move. You simply click on the object you want to emulate and the mirage tank will morph into that form. One can imagine the havoc a pack of Mirage tanks can create when firing from a forest, cloaked as trees!

Infantry Fighting Vehicles: These are versatile little tanks that take on the capabilities of whatever infantry you put inside of it. Without any passenger, they carry a small cannon. Slap an engineer in the IFV and you get a repair vehicle! Put a GI at the wheel, and the IFV gets a bigger gun. Stick a rocketeer in it and it becomes a rocket tank.

Back! The allies     Soviets! Next!

 Random Fact
The Navy used to train dolphins for underwater demolition. It would be interesting to know if they still do this in this day and age of **cough** animal rights.
