Gattling Spider/Tripod-I'll start with this one. It's a terror drone with no weapon that deploys into a Gattling cannon. Scary as hell to see and hear, especially when AI deploys two and out of nowhere two minutes later they start up.

Tell me about the Devestator tank (awesome name sports awesome.. well.. awesomeness ) _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
The Devastator is a medium tank, but is built more for defense than attacking, wheras the Grizzly tends to be more offensive. Right now because I haven't changed things around yet, the Devastator has the Grizzly's new weapon, and it is truely devastating. What little remains of the Allied forces (I've gutted it in my quest for units and recoding of units) is crushed like a tin can beneath even a couple of Devastators. On the L.S.D. side(s), however, Devastators have to worry about V.C. Tanks, as they can outgun them, Lasher Tanks, as they can be crushed by the Lasher's steel tines, and Cobras and Strikers, as they're extremely overpowered right now. Oh yeah, and even though they're big, in the final version they won't pack much of a punch. Or will they? hehehehe.... QUICK_EDIT

I only have a single complaint about the units list:
Lasher
Grizzly
Rhino
They're the names of the major battle tanks in YR (which I'm sure you already knew), it doesn't look too original when you have all three for one side. _________________

Lasher Tank-Plans for this were gotten after the defeat of Yuri in YR. It's being changed, trust me... For one thing, it's a CrushAll now.
Grizzly Tank-Thanks to the superior efforts of the Spainish when they defected to the Soviets, the Grizzly became a L.S.D. unit, even though it's now pretty weak compared to other units. (Yes, I said it'd be strong, but I'm entitled to change my mind, aren't I?)
Rhino Tank- V. 2.0 This Rhino is superior to the Lasher Tanks in strength, but not as strong as the Devastator.
@j4m3sb0nd: true, true. That means lowering the armor or increasing the cost, though. Will do. Off to do more coding! QUICK_EDIT
Thanks, Vincent. It really is starting to come together, but testing units for balance and differention (especially with so many tanks) is difficult, since all I have to test it against is the old Allied stuff, which doesn't put up much of a fight. Eventually the mechs for U.G.D. will come together, though, and I'll be able to test better. Right now, I can already tell L.S.D. can do some major tank rushes, especially with so many tanks of different sizes and uses. Soon I'll remodel the Lasher, Grizzly, and Rhino tanks so I'll have some screenshots, but until then, anyone know someone who can make me some nice cameos? QUICK_EDIT
No its was a joint British and US design. Used by both countries still, however the US is replacing the Harrier with the F-35 JSF which is also replacing the A-10. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
British and US abandoned it for their more modern aircraft and sold the designs to Russia. (back when they were allies) Russia took it and improved the design for their modern Harriers. QUICK_EDIT
Clones are conscript-like infantry that are mass-produced from cloning vat/barracks. Elites are unique, highly skilled and trained professionals that specialize in various types of espianage and infiltration. QUICK_EDIT
Clones will probably cost $75-100, because they're only armed with a weak automatic rifle. They're two for one, though. ELITE's will be at the high end of the Infantry cost chart, ranging anywhere from $1750-3000. They'll be really costly, though, because they're not a BuildLimit=1, but a BuildLimit=3. They're meant for squad-based tactics, really, and are useless in large groups. QUICK_EDIT
