RA3 Unit Profile: Soviet War Bear

[Sonic 296]

Another new unit profile has once again been posted on the Official Red Alert 3 Site. This one takes a look at the Soviet War Bear. As always, this profile has a short in game video, concept art and extra information. Here is a sample....

 

Intended as a more-durable replacement to Soviet attack dogs (which proved unsuited to harsh weather conditions and Allied ordnance), these Russian bears were born in captivity, trained from birth in military tactics, and conditioned to withstand the rigors of frontline modern warfare. Their claws are specially sharpened to cut through light armor, and their bodies are fitted with special scanning arrays and a vocal amplification module that turns a mighty roar into such a deafening blast that it can stop a man dead in his tracks, paralyzed. War bears are even hardy enough to brave the icy waters on the periphery of the Soviet Union, which they often must patrol in search of would-be spies and frogmen.

Now that I got that out of all our systems, finally, the unit all of us have been waiting for. With the real life Soviet ingenuity in mind, bears look pretty good. I would probably drop the radio equipment on them though, but that is just my opinion.

Hohoho, like the image said so. Except without the riders on it.

Bear rush for the win!!

 

Ineffective against armor -- Although overzealous Soviet battlefield commanders continue to try and disprove this, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that war bears are poorly suited in combat situations involving armored vehicles. Their claws are simply not sharp enough and their armor simply not thick enough to be of any use in such engagements.

 

I can just imagine a war bear trying to claw a guardian tank to shreds.
