Minor note: The building the Shogun Executioner with the time machine wasn't the Kremlin. It's The Palace of the Soviets, a building that was designed to house the Supreme Soviet, but was never built IRL due to WW2.

[@louievelayo4100]

However it is called "The Heart of the Kremlin" in the tooltip. I don't know why considering THE Kremlin is right next to it but it and St. Basil's are just designated as obstacles.

[@kennycai8695]

Eh, it can be handwaved by Cherdenko's interference with the space-time continuum, and fits the whimsical and hammy nature of the Red Alert universe. So in this timeline, the Palace of the Soviets design ends up being the Kremlin.

[@kennycai8695]

Kind of a side tangent, but some fans have speculated that the three men were not the only ones who travelled through time, and someone in the shadows was responsible for the sudden rise of Imperial technology. This also includes the battle walker technologies featured in this video. I am again drawing from the Red Alert iOS game and the Post-War Crisis conflict here, but in the expansion, it reveals that the Empire of the Rising Sun was an emerging power, and they were waiting for either the Allies or Soviets to knock each other out to reveal their presence. The funny thing is that the Empire's air force already exists, but lacks any transformation capabilities. The Chopper-VX was just an attack helicopter, the Jet Tengu was an air superiority fighter, and the Sky-Wing was a simple fighter bomber. Plus, the Empire's arsenals lacked mechanized walkers of any kind from the Post-War Crisis continuity. It's hard to explain such a leap in technology without some help from the shadows, most likely a time traveler aiding the Imperials so they can emerge much faster as a superpower.

I would consider the Mecha Tengu a walker as it's design was based on the VF-1 from Macross. In particular the Jet and Gerwalk modes. Gerwalk itself is an acronym standing for ground effective reinforcement of winged armaments with locamotive knee joint. We just never see them land.

The fact that an apocalypse tank can beat a king oni in a one on one fight (if just barely) is crazy given how massive the cutscene makes the oni look. Just a testament to how massive and powerful the apocalypse really is

[@STSGingie]

Apo alypse tanks are pretty massive in cutscenes as well

[@mullerpotgieter]

​@@Redeyes0815Balance. Given just how heavily the game implements the rock/paper/scissors counter system

[@Gencrossbones]

​​@@Redeyes0815 that will make a squad of Apocs unstoppable even if you shrank it with cryo copters. Like Migs can wipe out that OP helicopter quickly and it can easily retreat back to the Apoc tanks to protect themselves from SPAAs like strikers or. IFVs and Air superiority fighters. Even if they use a flak gun and slapped it on an Apoc that is still enough to shoot down a lot of planes if there's enough Apoc tanks.

[@RoadKamelot2nd]

Ah, the King Oni. Possibly the most useless super-heavy unit. The Reds could easily infect them with Terror Drones and even a few Cryocopters could make their bull-rush a suicide attack. Not to mention that when shrunk, even a Prospector could crush them.

[@sonogamirinne7172]

Yeah empire land unit is not their's best unit , it the navy and some of air unit , it really like their's army during ww2 , ironic

It always weirded me out how the VX in the intro cutscene had the missile pod on the underside of the walker. I guess they made the decision to turn it into an antiair vehicle late in development.

@@enkerzan3755 that would be cool 😎. However I don't have a PC and new map downloads never actually work when purchased on Xbox.

Especially with artillery in play, both Nod & GDI can pound a base from nearly a half map away using venoms or markers placed by elite teams of both factions. Or if actually able to get it off have venoms placed in a line to bounce Lazer tank attacks across an entire map.
