RA3 Unit Profile - Jet Tengu/Mecha Tengu

[Sonic 295]

A new week means more unit profiles on the Official Red Alert 3 Site. Today we get a look at the Empire of the Rising Sun Jet Tengu/Mecha Tengu. As always, this profile has a short in game video, concept art and extra information. Here is a sample....

 

The Mecha Tengu is named after a Japanese mythological creature known for causing harm and mischief, as well as for its distinctive long nose. The vehicle has an anthropomorphic, aggressive shape made of a dark-colored alloy that is highly resistant to smaller weapons. Its protruding air intake likely is an homage to the long nose of the mythical Tengu, while its "arms" and "legs" primarily serve as stabilizers. Also like its namesake, the Tengu can fly: In fact, the vehicle need never touch the ground, as its boosters and stabilizers allow it to hover a few meters above any surface. By skating across this layer of air, the Tengu can ignore many types of terrain obstacles that would normally slow down infantry or simpler vehicles. When engaged in combat, the Tengu fights using a pair of burst-firing autocannons mounted on either side of its air intake. Essentially these are like a higher-caliber version of the weapon used by Imperial infantry divisions, and offer an even faster rate of fire and excellent accuracy at medium- to short-range.

Its no secret that they have based a lot of the Empire's units on different sources. Most of it is stuff a lot of the dev are into.

These are amazing harassment units, although the last thing I remember is that they do perhaps a bit too much damage to ore trucks.

Yea, that's quite annoying tbh, and something I hope they fix =/
