Only the RA3 Tesla Troopers were immune to animals, the RA2 Tesla Troopers were just as vulnerable to dogs as most other infantry.

[@MrMarinus18]

In RA2 I think it would have been better if instead of troopers charging coils it worked the other way around. That tesla troopers standing close to a tesla coil get a powerboost to about the power of the coil itself. Tesla troopers cost about half as much as tesla coils and they are mobile so you could use them to reinforce a vulnerable position at a cheaper cost. Of course they would keep their shorter range so they would be picked off but it would be a niche but occasionally useful thing to do.

Iron Curtian is also Tesla Technology. They also had Submarine, Jet and Nuclear Technology, although it is odd they replace Migs with Airships in the 3rd war. The Allies in contrast, had satellite Technology and Chrono technology. Most of their advanced technology didn't appear until the 3rd Great War with prism and stealth. The 3rd Great War is the source of most of the exotic tech such as weather control and mond control. However that is split as there is the Einstine Time line (RA2) Cherdinko Time Line (RA3) and Fohen timeline (Mental Omega).

[@Insanir]

I think Mental Omega did its best to aknowledge missing technology like the Migs. Allieds occupied Soviet Russia and emposed drastic cuts. Russia lost its air force, for example. In one MO mission you actually raid an US air force base, get the blue prints of their fighter jets and later Soviet Russia actually gets Migs back.

The Tesla Tank from Red Alert 3 is an interesting case, being a campaign-only unit when it was a unique unit in Red Alert 2. My guess is the Tesla Tank was something Cherdenko personally commissioned, since he was one of the three who came from the original RA2 continuity. The Tesla Tank can only be built by the player if the player captured one of Cherdenko's War Factories during the 8th Soviet mission, "The Stone Faced Witnesses". The Tesla Tank replaces the Hammer Tank in the selection menu, and costs double the cost of the unit it replaced. The Tesla Tanks in the final Soviet mission, "Blight on the Big Apple" play a major role, but are not replaceable. As for why the Tesla Tank itself did not appear in multiplayer, I guess the Stingray more or less took over its role as a vehicle-based Tesla weapon platform, especially since the Stingray was amphibious, which made the Tesla Tank redundant.
