In every Command and Command Conquer game, one faction has a massive tank. This ability allowed the Mirage Tank to land the first punch against enemy forces, a strike that usually determined the victor of the skirmish. When not moving or shooting, the Mirage Tank took upon a harmless look, that of a tree. However, its unique camouflage ability is the reason the Mirage Tank is on this list. In groups, Mirage tanks could rip through enemy units without breaking a sweat. The Mirage Tank was the middle ground between the Grizzly and Prism tanks, a balance between armor and firepower. Thus, we give you the Top Ten Most Iconic Units of Red Alert 2.Ĭreated by Albert Einstein in his lab in the Black Forest of Germany, the Mirage tank was a force to be reckoned with.
However, the Red Alert 3 staff convened and after arduously discussing which units should be where, we finally agreed on a list of ten units that defined Red Alert 2 as an enjoyable RTS game. For Red Alert 2, almost any unit could be chosen as a defining or iconic unit. Whether it be a tiny little soldier or a massive tank, almost any unit can define a game. It is difficult to imagine what sort of person would be fit to operate such a weapon, let alone what the experience of this would do to that person.In every RTS game there are several units that leave a lasting impression. It should also be noted that, unlike its counterpart in the previous iterations of the Third World War, it has no defence against air units.īecause of this tank's notoriety, the identities of Apocalypse tank crews are kept secret by the Soviet Union. Also, the schematics for manufacturing these vehicles are authorized only by battle lab technicians required to study the tank's performance characteristics. However, the Apocalypse tank is not without its flaws, such as a horrendous top speed, a complete lack of anti-infantry weapons, and an exorbitant price. Each of its two main guns is more powerful than the main cannon of a lesser tank, a second set of cutting treads installed into its hull allows it to simply roll over lesser vehicles, and its magnetic harpoon secondary weapon - one of the Union's first practical magnetic weapons - can draw fast-moving vehicles straight into its "meat grinder" chain-treads, which can carve through metal much like their namesake. The biggest, most powerful ground vehicle ever constructed, the Apocalypse Tank certainly lives up to its nickname. The Apocalypse tank is the Soviet Union's heavy battle tank in Red Alert 3 and its expansion, Uprising.
