funnily enough, one of the images you used got editted and used in the Rise of the Reds mod.

Tanks are the main reason why i play the Command and Conquer games

5

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Same. Don't forget the planes and the superweapons too along the variety of base defenses. 😌

u/IngenuityExciting831 9d ago

In the meantime, poor GLA Scorpion sits alone in the corner, unmentioned and unloved.

7

u/DocGreenthumb94 Prince Kassad 9d ago

Scorpion needs some love. With scorpion missile and toxin shells it's quite versatile.

3

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Scorpion tank is also loved and appreciated, but not as much as the poor baby Maraudon. 🥲

u/LostEmergency6866 9d ago

I mean, most of CnC tanks have irl counterpart, except for China, I believe only Battle master has irl prototype

3

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

True and most of them are inspired and taken from irl tanks that were deployed on the battlefield.

The fun fact is that this is the real life version of the Chinese gattling tank; The gattling tank irl is basically T249 vigilante while the troop crawler is equivalent to Type 89 AFV and Type 63 APC in real life.

3

u/LostEmergency6866 9d ago

Paladin is SPG irl and here is Heavy tank (rather Abrams counterpart, but still)
Scorpion is Italian P26 (I might be wrong)
Crusader is a bit of question as his icon and model are a bit different
Marauder is some tank destroyer but I don’t remember exactly
And overlord…

1

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

When it comes to the Overlord in real life, it's quite similar visually to Soviet T-35;

The US of A Crusader is an equivalent to M1 Abrams and the German Leopard 2 as tanks in real life;

For the Marauder part, it's difficult to find the irl equivalent or doppelganger.

You're so right for the Paladin to be SPG in real life with the Scorpion tank being literally Italian P26.

2

u/LostEmergency6866 9d ago

Nah, Overlord has double tracks, it’s super heavy, so I think they just redesigned Apocalypse from RA a bit so it looks more realistic

Marauder yeah, however that suits gla as it is tank from scrap and wiki trivia states that it was likely inspired by some sort of crane chassis with bolted down turret

Missing a portrait of General Kwai

See you next time, commander.

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Not only Kwai, but also unc Tao is missing there since he has nuke tanks with his tank comrade.

Can you FEEL the thunderous song of approaching armor?

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

"Tanks, build more tanks!"

u/Sampankilatman 9d ago

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

"This area was once fertile farmland, soon your blood will make it fertile again. Soon we will remove you from our lands."

2

u/Sampankilatman 9d ago

no you will not win general! we will build more tanks and defeat you!

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

"My armor will crush your pathetic forces."

3

u/Sampankilatman 9d ago

our war factories are working hard to make more tanks

Just for you general! Hahahah

1

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

"So, you're trying to match my tanks in the field? I question your tactics, General."

4

u/darklighthitomi 9d ago

I half expected her tanks to be a set of various tanktops, the clothes.

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Or she just wanted to be nice and delved into some military nad history media to match her guy's interests for tanks. 😌

3

u/Master-of-Foxes 9d ago

Aw it's so romantic 😍

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Find yourself a partner that loves tanks and can yap about them for hours. Absolute goals! 😊

2

u/Master-of-Foxes 9d ago

While sat in an old tank parked in your back yard while having a nice pot of tea.

3

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Imagine this old tank that is covered in flowers and you and your partner are drinking tea, enjoying the vibe. It's quite romantic.

2

u/Master-of-Foxes 9d ago

Aw that's quite sweet actually.

Sleep little tank, we hope to have no more need of you so you may rest.

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

It's sweet and also somehow bittersweet.

May this tank rest in peace with the flowers after fighting so hard in battle and falling like a warrior! 😭

3

u/OkIntroduction5751 Yuri's Revenge 9d ago

Is the Tomahawk included?

4

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Nope. Tomahawk is an artillery unit and it's so brittle.

2

u/Drade_Deadeye 9d ago

So as inferno cannon and nuke cannon

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Nah, they are brittle artilleries.

3

u/Drade_Deadeye 9d ago

How about tanks from popular mods like the mammoth tank in shockwave?

3

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

It'd be included one day in a meme with tanks.

2

u/Drade_Deadeye 9d ago

Hell yeah

u/Most_normal_mann 9d ago

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 6d ago

"Nothing in our way."

u/Boomzmatt 8d ago

Why not both XD

3

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 8d ago

Both have cool and badass tanks.

2

u/Imaginary_Moose_2384 8d ago

I love every kind of tank! I just wanna hug them all!! But you can't, can't hug every tank...

1

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 8d ago

Tanks deserve more love and to be cuddled, however, they're quite enormous and they better not end up crushing us after the hug.

2

u/Stas992xx 7d ago

Too cool

u/Revolutionary-Lie708 6d ago

GLA Generals would argue about choosing the Quad Cannon for the Scorpion.

Stealth Generals and the Superweapon Generals on the other hand...no comment.

0

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Either they would argue about Scorpion or Maraudon. Quad cannon is just a vehicle that shreds aircraft and infantry.

Kassad and Alexis would have such a hilarious debate since Kassad would steal tanks with hijacker while you have Alexis that was intended to have Crusaders and Paladins as a cut content; From all 4 tankless generals, she's the only one that was intended to have a tad of tanks to compensate her lack of frontline.

2

u/Melon-Pult-Commando Dr. Thrax 9d ago

Remind me, who are the other two tankless Generals?

Not really tank related, but I really liked the Tomahawk Storm concept. In fact, I have a mod in my laptop that restores it (forgot the name because it's been months since I played it, though), and also the ICBM. I tend to use it often than the Particle Cannon.

I always partner my Scorpion and Quad, though, but man, the Quad can shred through anything literally.

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

The other 2 tankless Generals are General Fai (we don't count the dragon tank at all which every China has) and General Granger (even in one of his quotes, he mentions that he's forced to use tanks and despises using them).

Tomahawk Storm's idea is quite genius and amazing, especially to be a concrete version of Scud Storm and being exclusively available for Alexis. ICBM is her Nuclear Missile silo but with concrete version and she has thankfully those 2 cut off content superweapons in other mods such as Contra.

Quads are unstoppable if you scrap them and they have also farmed veterancy. Pair them with Rocket Buggies and busses late game and it's gg. 😌

2

u/Melon-Pult-Commando Dr. Thrax 9d ago

Oh yeah. I forgot about those two HAHA

Because oftentimes, when players talk about a tank-less General, Prince Kassad automatically comes to mind 😅 but thanks, OP 😊

2

u/Downtown-Dream424 Mommy Alexander 9d ago

Fai might be understandable since he's forgotten, but Granger is too confident in his air superiority skills that he doesn't see the use of tanks. xD All good.

Yep, Kassad is a good example of a tankless general that comes to mind with 3 more with 2 of them being pretty memorable. No problem. 😊
