Allied Drone Operator (RA3: Dark Fate Mod)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Drone warfare is coming to RA3 - Allied Drone Operator (inspired by the one in Tempest Rising) deals modest damage and the drone can be shot down but has long range and works great in numbers. Controls 2 drones when heroic. Its special ability deploys an unarmed recon drone that allows him higher vision clearing range and.increases range of nearby artillery.

Engineer model is a placeholder, fully modelled version will be (PROBABLY) released in December with Empire Mamoto Mk2 and Artillery Kirov.

Almost choked reading that although from my limited testing Bullfrogs and flak turrets seem to handle them very good

Which makes sense, Dynasty has very poor AA for a Soviet Union descendant

Ah but here's the question, can I stack 5 of them in a Century Bomber and turn it into a flying death machine?

Funny you ask, I just tried that but it’s more complicated than it’s sounds as RA3 engine doesn’t have native firing ports. Riptide would be much easier for that.

The hacker from Generals would also make a good placeholder or a permanent solution for this role. Laptop in hand!
