@Strenyoff Imbalanced? By the time you can build one a competent enemy would've had plenty of AA to fight it or build their own "Heavy Air" units that they're already sending to your base along WITH good AA and considering the Empire has poor AA well... you get the picture. It's easier to build/rush and use Kirovs and a lot less costly to lose them. That and they have their boost which get's them faster to their "funzone". Tl;DR Yes they feel imbalanced but considering they cost so much to build , are a pain to lose, and can't really have more then one in a reasonable amount of time compared to the others I'd say they're pretty damn fair

[@drzero1131]

the problem with this comparison is that, whilst these units are the most expensive and possibly the strongest for their respected faction, they fill completely different roles The kirov bomber is a base killer, its slow, but has a lot of health and does a lot of damage, making it ideal for static targets and base killing (even on death it crashes and does a lot of damage to anything below) The harbinger gunship is a fast moving, anti-ground support unit, being able to gun down infantry quick and deal with heavy vehicles fairly quickly also. its main drawback beside its cost is its inability to engage aircraft and its hard to repair (its flight cycle means its hard for repair drones to heal it). Whilst it is good for engaging bases, the century bomber does that role better. The giga-fortress can take on 2 roles. In its sea form, its a heavily armed naval unit capable of taking on small armies by itself, and in its sky form, its a super long range heavy artillery platform that outranges and out damages any other unit in the game. But each one form comes at a downside. The naval variant cannot engage things that are well in land, so its limited to ship engaging and possible costal attacks, its also vulnerable to terror drones, which prevent it from transforming if they get in. Its sky form can attack anywhere , but its heavily vulnerable to air units and fast aa units on the ground, since its slow moving, can only fire in a line and the damage is only dealt after the initial attack. A good player could easily micro-manage a single aa unit to avoid any of its attacks.

[@deaclavilis6760]

Giga fortresses are also very vulnerable against Vacuum Imploder (Soviet super weapon) strikes. I do remember destroying 8 of Giga fortresses with one Vacuum strike. The missile just sucked and teared apart them while Harbingers can easily escape from Vacuum blast zone. Gigas simply can't escape. They are very slow ass and usually moving and positioning together.

The harbinger can also 1v1 pretty much anything not in the air, often winning against a single gigafortress assuming they both have no veterancy (atleast in my tests). It struggles to kill yuriko but can be done if it’s cannons knock her down before she pulls it out of the sky. Although the same can be said for gigfortress, the harbinger is almost half the cost.

[@ZC.Andrew]

@archerburns When I tested it, the Harbinger and Giga Fortress killed each other. In a 1v1 between Giga Fortress and Kirov, the Kirov won with just under half HP remaining. This was with no micro of course.

Gameplay stats Empire; With "Fortified fleet" and "Advanced Rocket Pods" and maybe "Robotic Assembly". ( If game goes late). Giga-Fortress is a force to be reckoned with. They are unstoppable at sea and you got minimal chances in winning at land whether you're using Empire,Allies, or Soviet. Soviets has greater chances in taking them out by ground because Bullfrogs can kite the easily. IFVs and Striker VXs have to stop to attack. Bring them to dryland and Aerial Dogfights will bring this monster down. Imperial fighter escorts are weak and fragile. Watch out for their numbers. Allies; Is actually my favorite, Harbinger Gunships are highly mobile and can perform Smash and Run smoothly thanks to their speed. With "Advanced Aeronautics" and "High Technology" it becomes sturdier and highly precise when shooting its collider cannons. Ground forces and static defence can take them down quite well especially IFVs with Cryo-Legionnaires. Aerial Dogfights will also bring them down easily. Watch out for fighter escorts though. Soviets; Now this is quite tricky. Kirov's are durable slow bombers. Highly vulnerable to ground AA and dogfights. Where does is his strength really lies? Answer? Easy!! He's cheap and easy to tech! With 2.5 k with battle lab you can mass produce them in less than 5 minutes. 6 Kirovs would suffice to catch your enemy off-guard and rape his base. In a real game, Kirovs can destroy you much faster in a speed run due to this factor. Giga-Fortresses are super expensive and so is Harbinger Gunships. Plus teching them will take time and money. If this is real life game, Kirov's should not be underestimated.

[@sethb3090]

Yeah, the Kirov was disadvantaged here for a few reasons. The first and biggest is force fire. Queueing up a series of force fire targets makes it move to each one and stop until it explodes. In an actual attack, you take a couple Kirovs and send them on a vector that passes over as much enemy stuff as possible and they just torch everything while moving. Second was price scaling in the multiple attackers test. Two giga fortresses cost the same as five Kirovs, and three harbingers cost as much as four Kirovs.

[@dragonstormx]

The Kirov was balanced thanks to its lack of speed and need to fly directly over a target to damage it. The Harbinger and Giga Fortress' higher cost do nothing to counteract how overpowered they are. They can't destroy a target as a quickly since they don't fire endlessly but that is countered by their range. Habringers are far too mobile for their firepower and armor. Advanced Aeronautics makes them more durable than the Kirov while adding more shots and shorter reload time, as if it needed anything to make it deadlier. A group of four or five and destroy most any target in a single volley. To top it all off the chaingun gives it a punch against infantry and light vehicles, so it can easily counter the types of ground units that are supposed to be its weakness. Giga Fortresses have far to much range their death ray. Anti-air structures are useless since it will destroy them from outside their range. If it's over water it can go back to fortress mode and destroy any aircraft sent to shoot it down. It's easy to see why Uprising has no multiplayer, nobody even tried to balance the new units.

[@VioIetShift]

The non super units in Uprising really do belong in the base game I feel. Maidens would help the Empire a lot with low-tier AA, all of the new Soviet units fit in OK with the existing game, and the Legionnaire is fine for its cost. Really wish they'd just made the Harbinger, the artillery thing, and the Giga Fortress campaign only and properly balanced the rest.

[@dragonstormx]

@@VioIetShift I agree with you on the Archer Maidens since the Empire's AA is really weak, especially in the early game as you pointed. Not sure about the Future Tank being in since I have seen one of those things take on over a half dozen tier 1 tanks and win. Even with the reduced damage from their force attack I still once saw four of them take twelve twinblades (the twinblades were sent in piecemeal but I'm not sure if that would have mattered since a group eight still lost). The only problem with keeping the Soviet units is the Mortar Cycle. It's an artillery unite that comes out at tier 1 and is extremely fast.

[@VioIetShift]

@@dragonstormx I honestly forgot the Future Tank existed; ideally it would be campaign only too. The Mortar Cycle I think could be balanced, but it'd require work.

Although the Soviet Santa Claus is weaker than its competitors due to the fact that it is forced to slowly crawl directly to the target, and not destroy almost half of the enemy’s base from two salvoes from its base, like a fortress, or, almost keeping up with the fighters, throw shells like Harbinger, and besides the air warehouse of the bombs need protection from ground forces (mainly from Yuriko, but also from some Javelin soldiers or Combat robots the “TwinBlades” will not be superfluous).

At the end of the day the most Terrifying is still the Giga fortress just cuz of its shear damage, range and versitility. But the cost and the use of it will decide how it performs. For example, versusing against Harbingers and Kirovs in sea mode is practical Suicide, although as for the Kirovs you might be able to out run it without its ability activated, for the Harbingers how ever, good word of advice unless you have a 5:1 ratio dont even think about it, and even then you'd still probably lose 1 Giga before the Harbinger goes down. Harbingers are practically your most "COST EFFICIENT" unit of all 3 factions, their not cheap nor are they too expensive, they deal good amounts of damage, are biased against migs cuz they take less damage, they have speed and you can micro them, they are good against infantry and a group of 2 or more can kill Yuriko safely if they engage first. Kirovs lastly, cheap, slow, does alot of damage, thats about it though, if you think of it normally that is.... get 2 rows of Kirovs path find then into a formation on the other side of the enemy base, set them to agressive and make sure to clear out any pesky AA aircraft along the way and enjoy the show is how in my opinion the best way to savour the wait as they fly and flatten the earth.

All 3 are powerful, but my favorite is the Harbinger Gunship. Its chain gun is used for accurate elimination of units especially those that are moving quickly. While the collider cannons is used for buildings or for slow moving units, so it can target almost anything on the ground with ease. It's vulnerable to AA units and fighters but it can escape easily since it's not just durable, it's also pretty fast. The flight path of the Harbinger also makes it hard for AA ground units to take it down especially if the terrain is crowded with obstacles or not flat. Another use for its quickness is easily doing hit and run on enemies, you harass them while they can't catch your gunships. They're pretty expensive but not as expensive as the Giga so you can make 2-4 units later on in the game and they'd sweep an enemy's base with ease when used right. Also, I just love putting them in aggressive mode and watch them circle around and obliterate my enemy from above with no mercy.

[@aaronlimeuchin7352]

Although the Giga Fortress was one of my favourite in the Empire of the Rising Sun, the unit had two major setbacks. The first setback was that Giga Fortess first form, the Nano Core was very vulnerable and weak to enemy attack especially air attacks. Moreover, it need quite some time to transform into the Giga Fortress and also could be easily destroyed. The second setback was unlike other Empire units that could be deployed land such as the Tsunami Tank, Mecha Tengu and Sudden Transport, the Giga Fortress' Nano Core form could only be deployed at the sea, not land. Maps with land only is a bane to the Giga Fortress and also the Empire of the Rising Sun.

[@Frost-01]

the way the giga fortress is built is backwards, its fast to produce the nanocore but its longer to actually fully deploy it, and if you look at the nanocores for your buildings they take longer to produce but unfurl quite quickly once there

[@A1phaWolf150]

It’s kinda like the Allies in the first Red Alert. Naval superiority is their biggest advantage, but if you take the water away, their best Avenue is completely unusable. (Granted, Red Alert 3 handles this better due to how the maps are constructed, but still.)

Funny things about Giga fortress - the only air unit known able to crush another air unit if it stand above it during folding sequence - is super expensive even more than super weapon -it water form is much weaker than its air counterpart -despite having no air crew and run fully autonomous it can be bribed by Spy for measly 1k -able to outrange almost all base defense when at air mode -is Insanely quick to reload in air form

[@dragonstormx]

I don't really get why people boasted about how great the Kirov was in RA2. Most strategy sites I have looked at said it wasn't worth using for anything other than baiting your opponent into wasting money on AA, and even then if you were playing as Soviets and the game lasted long enough that you are getting Kirovs out, you have lost unless are playing against another Soviet player since Yuri and the Allies have better late game options. You look at any popular RA2 mods, and you will notice that they tend to buff the Kirov since it wasn't practical as a unit. On to this game. The Kirov is the only one of those three that is balanced. It's the cheapest, but also the slowest. If the tests started off with it the same distance away from targets as the Giga Fortress, it would have come in last place every time. That is part of why even they are much more expensive, the Giga Fortress and the Harbinger are rightly regarded as overpowered units. They have the Kirov's raw damage and none of its slow speed. The Giga Fortress even outranges anti air units, and the Harbinger can use its chaingun to easily kill anti air infantry, letting it easily destroy the most cost effective counters to it. I have seen videos a groups of Harbringers take down anything short of a construction yard in a single volley, and they are actually get there really fast thanks to their speed. It's clear nobody even tried to balance these things.

[@SPIRIT-117]

Considering Uprising doesn't support online multiplayer, it's obvious it wasn't intended to be balanced. It was intended for compstomp fun. Unless the bots end up using them on you.

[@LennyNoCommentary]

Giga Fortress is way too humble for a weapon of mass destruction. Also, Harbinger Gunships flying in packs are the worst nightmare.

[@paulschauer6273]

I find it funny how the harbingers fly in formation when built from the same airfield

[@llSuperSnivyll]

While the Kirov cannot hold a candle to the Harbinger and Giga-Fortress, at least it's better than in RA2 as it can attack while not on top of its target. At the same time, though, there are many more hard counters (namely, the fact fighter jets exist).

[@redalertsteve_]

I prefer MO’s Harbinger. That thing is deadly and awesome

[@adityachanifindhraputra7824]

Love Kirovs! Did you see that? Kirov loves brawling with any units & building than the others. It is brave unit :))

[@Februaries]

All i know is that the kirov airship gives you anxiety, fear and depression when you hear its voice back in RA2, and destroying it while your units are under also pack a punch.

[@ZC.Andrew]

Notice how each one of those Kirov bombs is nearly as powerful as a blast from the Giga laser. The Kirov has by far the highest DPS out of these 3 units, but dealing with Kirovs is still much easier than with either of the other two. Range is a big deal!

[@TheDarkSable]

While a more fair comparation would be rating 3 kirov ship vs 2 harbinger vs 1 giga fortress considering costs (7500 vs 7200 vs 6300). Still, even if ONE kirov is bulkier than 1 giga fortress, 3 kirov ships are like 4-5 time smore tankier than gigafortress, real things to consider. Also range and mobility are other key factors, but kirov can compensate range issues with higher numbers AND splitting to different buildings to avoid Area of Damage and to demolish enemy bases much faster (reason why 6 kirovs is much more than 6 times more dangeroues than ONE kirov ship).

[@ZC.Andrew]

@TheDarkSable If we take cost ratio into account, then it is reversed. I would much rather take on the Giga than the Kirovs. In fact I'd rather take on just about anything than Kirovs. Just one sneaky Kirov is all it takes.

[@peterdenov4898]

Uprising developers when designing the Harbinger: -“I really like playing as the Allies, so let's give them a slight softcore advantage but nothing too hardcore” -“Make an air artillery unit based of the irl Gunship, with both standard artillery attacks and anti-peraonal HROF machine gun, you know vanilla stereotype stuff” -“But make the artillery projectiles straight up better version of the Proton Collider without holding back any punches, also said HROF machine gun is 50 cal so it should instantly kill all infantry units and melt trough lightly armoured units such as MFV & Bullfrogs with ease” -“Also make the Proton Collider artillery projectiles instantaneous with huge AOE so that this unit can't be countered by those pesky Bullfrogs or physically touched by infantry AA units”. -“Also make it the 3rd fastest air unit in the game with 5/6th the HP of a Kirov on top of nasty air circling path by default so that even MIG's and Apollo's would have hard time countering it”. -“Also make it fairly cheap for it's effectiveness with around the same price as a Kirov”. -“Uh oh yea 'balance', make the Giga fortresses cost a bajillion dollars and repurpose it as a water-specific building so it's physically impossible to be obtained on landlocked maps. Also make Kirovs super fragile by removing their armour, reducing their HP by 30% and nerfing their auto-heal”.

[@DeputyCartman100]

Japan has a flying samurai mech helmet ship that shoots an anime laser. The allies have a gunship that is basically an AC130 on stereoids. ...The soviets have a big blimp. Those blimps are the stuff of nightmares in RA2, especially if you see 2 or 3 fully veteran ones laughing as they fly to your base as you shoot them with your peaguns. But RA2 didn't have *FLYING SAMURAI MECH HELMET SHIPS THAT SHOT LASERS*
