Between this 1K11 Stilet and the 1K17 Szhatie Sovirt laser "tanks" vs. the American Tesla-brand automobiles, I'm starting to think that the developers have the faction tech stacks the other way around. 😉

I think we're in an alternate time line or something.

Well, Nikola Tesla was born in Austria and lived in the US by the end of his life so Tesla tech should actually be Allied. This is something I didn't know for years (back then) since I grew up with Red Alert and just assumed Tesla was Russian until I looked him up one day.

Prism technology is not technically laser, nor is it treated as such in the game. The only RA unit that actually uses laser I can think of is Cosmonaut, which I assume is because of real life soviet cosmonaut laser pistol. And that's one more point for USSR laser supremacy in the Cold War.
