1. Introduction
---------------
Hello reader, my alias is Flare Blade Lord, and I'm also known as
Unknown One.  My real name is Victor Wei Wang, and this is my third
attempt completing a FAQ/guide. Hope you'll get use of my guide.
Also, I recommend you to have been through the game to fully understand
this guide.
If there are any odd things in my guide, it's because I'm inexperienced
or made a mistake :P
------------------
2. Version History
------------------
0.0 - Started writing. Made the table of contents and looked at other
guides for a little help.
0.2 - Got the infantry-section completed.
0.4 - Got a part of the vehicle-section completed. A long pause
started.
1.0 - The rest was completed in one day. I plan to add some more data
though.
1.45 - Yes, more data has been stuffed. I think I won't add more to
this though.
1.5 - Uprising units have been added, though I don't have the Mammoth
Tank in this guide. More small stuff has been added too, and some
things has been changed due to new experiences of mine.

4. COMPARISON METHOD & NOTES
----------------------------
I'm going to explain about little of the methods I'll use to compare
the units of the same type.
Nationality - Soviet Union, Allied Nations and the Empire of the Rising
Sun.
Type - Infantry, vehicles and such and what they are to be used for.
Terrain movement - Sea, ground or air (underground is strangely
possible in this game). Speed is included. Also, if "/" is added, it's
about the unit's second form.
Price - It's all about money, isn't it? Also, as the Soviets, there is
a support power which minimizes the units' price, and those are just
the normal prices, so don't forget that.
Weaponry - It's useful to know such, ya know.
Attack Rate - How often they attack.
Power - Power is important, and whether it's low or high is affected by
the attack rate. Alas, if power is low, a single shot is weak.
Attack Type - Explosions, bullets, beams, shells, you name it.
Explosions have area-effect. Missiles are homing, and WILL hit their
target, if not it's too fast like a retreating Apollo Fighter.
Range - Distance required to hit enemy.
Durability - It's useful to know how much they can take. But whether
it's low of high depends on the type of units they are.
Effectiveness - You'll have to know what they should be used for. It's
determined by the overall effectiveness against that type of unit.
Special Ability - They all have one, after all.
Performance - You need to know how to use them well, right?
Comparison - Hey, that's all this guide is about, rite?
Conclusion - Summary of the comparison.
Note 1: For example: medium fast is faster than fast medium (just to
make it clearer for you). Slow fast is faster than fast slow.
Note 2: "*" will be added in case there is something special with their
veterancy upgrade other than the standards.
Note 3: If I've written "--" somewhere, it's because there is nothing
of that thing which should be there. For example, if a unit doesn't
have any weaponry, I'll write "--".
Oh, about veterancy, it can be gained by destroying enemy
structures/units or taking veterancy crates. There are three levels,
and the third and final is a star. Veterancy will always upgrade the
unit's performance. It upgrades their:
Attack strength: How damaging their attacks are.
Firing rate: How often/quickly they can attack.
*This applies only for star- graded units.
HP / Defense / Durability: How much damage they can take.
Attack range: Star-Veterancy gives longer range. Not the other grades.
Also, when star-veterancy units attack their attacks are colored red in
some fashion. There are some exceptions though, other than just the
color of the attack.
Final note: If there is no conclusion / comparison, it's because it's
not  needed. Just read the comparison / performance /conclusion.

5.1 INFANTRY
------------
We'll start out with units of the same type, and it will always be like
this,  alright? Good. Let's get going.
````SCOUTS´´´´
**********
*WAR BEAR*
**********
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Anti-Infantry Scouts
Terrain Movement: Ground and sea. Fast.
Price: 225 $
Weaponry: Claws
Attack Rate: Low. Pauses after having attacked.
Power: One-hit kill.
Attack Type: (Um, isn't that obvious?)
Range: In front of target.
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: Infantry only. Lethal, but ineffective.
Special Ability: Amplified Roar
Performance: Being able to attack infantry only proves them rather
useless, but  as scouts, they might be worth something. They Amplified
Roar should be used if they come with a pack allies to set enemy
infantry out of function.
************
*ATTACK DOG*
************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Anti-Infantry Scout
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Faster than the War Bear, but not
much.
Price: 200 $
Weaponry: Jaws
Attack Rate: Low. Pauses after having attacked.
Power: One-hit kill.
Attack Type: Bite.
Range: In front of target.
Durability: Low.
Effectiveness: Infantry only. Low.
Special Ability: Amplified Bark
Performance: Just a slight bit better than the War Bear, but not much.
Pretty  much the same. Cannot attack anything other than light-armored
infantry.
*************
*BURST DRONE*
*************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Flying Scout
Terrain Movement: Air. Slow flying unit (when it comes to air-units).
Price: 300 $
Weaponry: --
Attack Rate: --
Power: Low.
Attack Type: Self-Destruct. Explosion, area-effect
Range: --
Durability: Very low.
Effectiveness: --
Special Ability: Self-Destruct.
Performance: Nothing more than scouts. Extremely weak, and should not
at all  enter enemy bases with defenses. Station them somewhere, and
they should serve  you well (unless your opponent comes with anti-air
of some kind). They can  latch on to enemy vehicles / aircraft / naval
units and slow them down, or  self-destruct themselves in order to
damage / destroy weakened enemy units. Cannot attack infantry in any
kind though. And it bleeds for some reason.
COMPARISON: The War Bear has more vitality (HP) than the Attack Dog,
which makes it signifantly better, though it is not much more HP. Their
attack is the same, though the Attack Dog is faster. The Burst Drone is
a scout with easy access to all places, which makes it better for
scouting, but it also kinda doesn't compete against the others.
Conclusion: The War Bear is the better in case you meet enemy infantry
(though not by much), while the Burst Drone is of its own kind -
scouting only.
````MAINLINE INFANTRY´´´´
Note: Only these guys can empty garrisoned buildings except for the
Imperial Warrior.
***********
*CONSCRIPT*
***********
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Mainline Anti-Infantry / Anti-Garrison
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed only.
Price: 100 $
Weaponry: AVK-45 Assault Rifle / Molotov Cocktail
Attack Rate: Medium.
Power: Very low. Very powerful against garrisoned units.
Attack Type: Bullets. Damages target only. / Explosion. Area-effect.
Range: Medium. Cocktails require a distance away from target, and gives
longer range.
Durability: Medium.
Effectiveness: Infantry - low. Garrisoned units - Very high.
Other - low.
Unable to attack air.
Special Ability: Switches to AK-45-like assault rifle / Molotov
Cocktails
Performance: They would have been killed easily by other Anti-Infantry
infantry, but they are the best units when it comes to emptying
garrisoned  structures. Preferrable to send them in numbers. Also,
their Molotov Cocktails  are to be used on structures or vehicles or
nearby naval units and on garrisoned structures.
*************
*PEACEKEEPER*
*************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Mainline Anti-Infantry / Anti-Garrison
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Their Riot Shield slows them down.
Price: 200 $
Weaponry: Shotgun / Riot Shield
Attack Rate: Low.
Power: High.
Attack Type: Bullets. Can make infantry fall on to the ground by
attacking in front of the enemy.
Range: Medium.
Durability: Medium. Can become very high in case shield is equiped.
Effectiveness: Infantry - High. Can attack multiple infantry if in a
straight
line and in range.
Garrisoned units - Low.
Other - Low.
Unable to attack air.
Special Ability: Switches to Riot Shield / Shotgun.
Performance: Their distance to the enemy infantry matters much, since
they  wield shotguns - which is the best gun in small distance. They
should never  meet vehicles or naval units that can attack them. They
are effective anti-garrison, since their shield gives them that
oppurtunity, but they'll have to kill themselves in exchange of that.
******************
*IMPERIAL WARRIOR*
******************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Mainline Anti-Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only, medium speed, but can get a minor boost
by their
Beam Katanas.
Price: 150 $
Weaponry: Burst Assault Rifle?
Attack Rate: High.
Power: Low.
Attack Type: Wave-Force Bullets? Damages target only.
Range: Medium / In front of enemy. This applies for Banzai Charge.
Durability: Medium.
Effectiveness: Infantry - High.*
Other - Low.
Unable to attack air.
Special Ability: Banzai Charge
Performance: Exceedingly well against Conscripts, can get a problem
against  Peacekeepers. Not at all well against vehicles or naval units,
but probably  best garrisoned.
Note*: The Imperial Warrior can empty a garrisoned building by using
Banzai Charge into one, but has to kill himself too, and risk being
killed while running. Much like the Peacekeeper's way to empty one.
COMPARISON: The Peacekeepers win this contest. Garrisoned units can
avoid the  Molotov Cocktails easily by simply evacuating the structure
and then get  inside (though AIs probably won't do so), but even though
their shield slows them down, it gives them a significant defensive
boost. Also, war Bears, Attack Dogs and Shinobis can't attack them
while in that state. Can even clear out a garrisoned building from the
inside, but in exchange for their own life.
The Imperial Warriors are the most powerful one-on-one infantry,
rather effective too. They are strong, and their Beam Katana provides
them with a boost and a lethal melee-weapon.
The Conscripts catch up with their cocktails, and they are effective
against garrisoned units, but else they are really weak. Not easy to
say who is the best, really.
Conclusion: Peace is best.
````ANTI-ARMOR/AIR INFANTRY´´´´
**************
*FLAK TROOPER*
**************
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Anti-Air / Anti-Armor Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 400 $
Weaponry: Flak Cannon / Electromagnetic Mines
Attack Rate: Medium.
Power: Medium.
Attack Type: Explosion. Area-effect. / Explosion. Area-effect.
Range: Long.
Durability: Medium.
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low.
Vehicle - High.
Aircraft - High.
Structures - Very high.
Special Ability: Switches between Flak Cannon and Electromagnetic Mines
Performance: Best against aircraft, but their mines causes them to fall
in  danger in case the target is a tank which can run down infantry.
Should always  use the Flak Cannon unless the enemy is standing still.
Good long range, also. Their mines are extremely powerful, also.
*****************
*JAVELIN SOLDIER*
*****************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Anti-Air / Anti-Armor Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 400 $
Weaponry: Missile Launcher
Attack Rate: High medium. Laser Guidance doubles firing rate.
Power: High medium.
Attack Type: Missiles. Explosion, area-effect.
Range: Long. Laser Guidance gives longer range.
Durability: Medium.
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low.
Vehicles - High.
Aircraft - Very high.
Structures - High. Laser Guidance heigthens
effectiveness.
Special Ability: Switches to Manual / Laser Guidance.
Performace: Better against air-targets, and with their Laser Guidance
which  requires time, they can be used as base-destruction units. But
otherwise, they  are doing well against vehicles and aircraft. Not well
at all against infantry, but their range gets extended with Laser
Guidance. Nice hit-and-run units if transports are nearby.
************
*TANK BUSTER*
************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Armor Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 300 $
Weaponry: Plasma Cannon
Firing Rate: Medium.
Power: High.
Attack Type: Laser? Damages target only.
Range: High medium.
Durability: Medium. Can be increased very much while in Spiderhole-
state.
Effectiveness: Vehicles - High.
Structures - high.
Others - low.
Unable to attack air.
Special Ability: Spiderhole (hides underground) / Leave Spiderhole.
Performace: Quite a shock isn't it? NOT Anti-air...But they are
specialists  when it comes to demolishing tanks. Though exposed to
everything else, well  against tanks. Their Spiderhole offers some
protection, and can be used as a hit-and-hide attack, which can be
effective against tanks.
COMPARISON: The Javelin Soldiers win. They have a more powerful weapon,
and  with their Laser Guidance they are the preferred ones, since they
are also able  to damage structures pretty hard. The Flak Troopers come
in second. All of them  fits well if garrisoned.
Except for the Tankbusters. They should only attack vehicles,
otherwise  they're dead men. Sad, but true. Except for if they come in
numbers. Their  Spiderhole is pretty much useless, since you WILL see
them. Enemy units will  automatically attack them, and when they
emerge, it may already be too late.
Conclusion: Javelin Soldiers beats Flak Troopers in all areas, while
the  Tankbuster has its purpose in its name.

UPRISING UNIT ALERT
*************************
***************
*ARCHER MAIDEN*
***************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Air/Suface Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Fast medium.
Price: 500 $
Weaponry: Wave-Force Bow and Arrow?
Firing Rate: Low.
Power: High
Attack Type: Wave-Force Arrows. Area-effect against air.
Range: High medium.
Durability: Medium
Effectiveness: Infantry - Medium
Aircraft - High
Other - Low.
Special Ability: Barrage Shot (Area-effect)
Performance: Rather strong infantry, but not very useful. As anti-air
they are brilliant, but cannot take much of a punch. Not much to say,
really. But, they are a bit faster than common infantry. Not better
than the Javelin Soldier though, but maybe better than the Flak
Trooper.
**********************************
UPRISING UNIT ALERT DISABLED
**********************************
````ENGINEERS´´´´
*****************
*COMBAT ENGINEER*
*****************
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Base Repair, Enemy Base Capture
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Slow.
Price: 500 $
Weaponry: Magnum
Firing Rate: Low
Power: High
Attack Type: Bullets. Damages target only.
Range: Low.
Durability: Low.
Effectiveness: --
Special Ability: Build Battlebunker.
Performance:  They can build battle bunkers, which works like
garrisonable structures, which is very useful. The rest is Structure
Capture / Repair.
**********
*ENGINEER*
**********
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Base Repair, Enemy Base Capture, Heal Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Slow.
Price: 500 $
Weaponry: --
Firing Rate: --
Power: --
Attack Type: --
Range: --
Durability: Low.
Effectiveness: Heals infantry only with First-Aid Tent.
Special Ability: First-Aid Tent / Pack up.
Performance: Healing allied infantry is a very good thing, and should
always be in numbers if their special ability is used (at least two of
them). The rest is Structure Capture / Repair. Also, they can not heal
themselves alone.
**********
*ENGINEER*
**********
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Base Repair, Enemy Base Capture
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Slow. Can get a temporary boost, in
exchange of a pause.
Price: 500 $
Weaponry: --
Firing Rate: --
Power: --
Attack Type: --
Range: --
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: Low
Special Ability: Sprint (Speed boost)
Performance: These are the most useless engineers ever made. Their
boost is  rather useless, except for if you are trying to invade your
enemy AND capture some structures.
COMPARISON: Well, if you look at different situations, the Allied
Engineer is  the better choice. The Soviet Engineers' gun isn't really
handy, since they  will probably get killed before they get to use
them. And the Japanese...only  for capturing and quick repairing.
Conclusion: The Allied Engineer is the better with their healing
ability,  though it only affects other units, while the Soviet Engineer
is useful with his Battle Bunker. The Imperial Engineer is rather
useless compared to the others.
````ADVANCED INFANTRY´´´´
***************
*TESLA TROOPER*
***************
Note: Cannot be run over by mid-sized vehicles.
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Advanced Anti-Surface Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed only.
Price: 750 $
Weaponry: Tesla Coilguns / Electromagnetic Disruptors
Firing Rate: Low
Power: One-Hit kill to infantry. Otherwise high.
Attack Type: Electricity. Hits target only. EM Disruptors have area-
effect.
Range: Low.
Durability: Low high.
Effectiveness: Infantry - High
Vehicle - High
Other - Medium.
Special Ability: Switches to Tesla Coilguns / Turns on EM Disruptors
Performance: They are very effective against enemy vehicles, and they
can kill  infantry in one blow. Though their firing rate is the
slowest, they are  powerful. Very good infantry, but when it comes to
meeting Shinobis (Ninjas)  they're as good as dead. Also, can charge
Tesla Coils if your base has been  infiltrated, but should never go up
against defenses that can attack them. But  their special ability lets
them disable enemy vehicles, and THAT can be useful.  Aircraft however
can take them down pretty easily (if they can attack the  surface).
*****
*SPY*
*****
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Base Infiltration
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Medium speed.
Price: 1000 $
Weaponry: --
Firing Rate: --
Power: --
Attack Type: Bribe units. This differs, depending on what units are
bribed.
Range: Nearby units. The unit this unit is supposed to be disguised as
only has to be in sight and targeted.
Durability: Medium.
Effectiveness: Differs depending on the situation.
Special Ability: Bribe
Performance: They can disguise themselves, but their performace matters
on the  situation, really. Since they have the ability to turn over
enemy units to  allied, and they can also be used as cams within the
enemy base. Pretty useful  if your enemy is a computer, but a player
might notice your spy. Beware enemy  commander, the enemy is within
your borders!
*********
*SHINOBI*
*********
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Infantry Infiltrator
Terrain Movement: Water and Ground. Very high speed on both.
Price: 1000 $
Weaponry: Sword & Shuriken
Firing Rate: Medium
Power: One-Hit kill
Attack Type: Sword & Shuriken. Sword is used up close, Shuriken at a
distance.
Damages target only.
Range: Medium & in front of target.
Durability: High
Effectiveness: Infantry only - high
Special Ability: Smoke Bomb
Performance: Now this is something. Oldfashioned warriors, effective
against  modern infantry. Their weapons are one-hit-killing  Shurikens,
or Katanas (Japanese swords with a weak curve) which they use up close.
BUT, they cannot attack vehicles, as a result. Nor can they attack
aircraft or structures, as a result, which is really bad. But they can
infiltrate building at least. It would be a good idea to infiltrate
power plants and such in an assault, taking out defenses.
COMPARISON: They are all of their own kind, really.
The Tesla Trooper is best used as a frontline infantry, while the
Shinobis
are infantry-killers. But the Spy are more of a tactical unit. But
Shinobis can kill Tesla Troopers in one blow, but the Tesla Troopers
are effective all around - except for Air-units.
Luckily for the spies, the Shinobis can't un-disguise them.
Conclusion: Tesla Troopers are good all around, Shinobis should stay
Infantry- killers and infiltrate power plants / reactors / generators
while an assault is  ongoing, and the Spies should to used to ambush
the enemy from within or stay  as hidden cameras.

*DESOLATOR TROOPER*
*******************
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Advanced Anti-Surface Infantry
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 1500 $
Weaponry: Deathspray-Canon / Splattershot Launcher
Firing Rate: Constant / Low high.
Power: Medium, can be strengthened by Splattershot / Low
Attack Type: Flow of toxin / Corrosive balls, weakens structures and
vehicles.
Range: Low long / Long
Durability: Very High (Maybe even higher than Natasha?)
Effectiveness: Surface - Very high
Unable to attack air.
Special Ability: Switches to Deathspray/Splattershot-mode.
Performance: This guy is way too expensive. I feel he should cost like
1200 $ instead, but that's still much. But, you may get what you bought
him for, though you will surely not use this guy often. He takes too
much time to train, and you'll have to get a Battle Lab up too, which
makes this guy a pretty much unused unit. You don't want to use this
guy, really. I rarely use infantry, due to their low durability, but
this guy can actually take out a Sentry Gun, Multigunner Turret or even
a Defender VX, single-handedly. That, is a proof of his strength and
effectiveness.
******************
*CRYO LEGIONNAIRE*
******************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Advanced Anti-Surface
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Fast.
Price: 1500 $
Weaponry: Cryo Canon

Power: Freezing infantry takes little time, vehicles maybe quintuple
the time, and structures take long time.
Attack Type: Freezing. Any freezed unit/structure only needs a single
bullet to be shattered into pieces.
Range: Low long
Durability: High.
Effectiveness: Infantry - High.
Vehicles - Medium.
Naval Forces - Low.
Defenses - Low.

Weaponry: Sniper Rifle + Scope
Firing Rate: Low
Power: One-Hit kill/destruction
Attack Type: Lethal piercing bullets / Airstrikes
Range: Very long.
Durability: Highest of infantry (at least in Red Alert 3)
Effectiveness: Infantry - Very high
Vehicle - Low high
Naval forces - Medium
Structures - Medium
Special Ability: Pilot Snipe (empties ship/vehicle).
Performance: Rather well against infantry with her one-hit kill,
especially if  they are positioned in a row, which gives her the multi-
kill option. If enemies  get close, move her away and take a turn
around and shoot, but her firing rate  is admittely medium. But, she is
not a very effective anti-tank and structure- destroyer. She has to
call for air-support, which does take some time. Best  used as
garrisoned unit in a Battle Bunker with 4 Flak Troopers as defenses.
*************
*TANYA ADAMS*
*************
Nationality: Allied Nations (USA)
Type: Anti-Surface Commando
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Low fast.
Price: 2000 $
Weaponry: Dual Pistols
Firing Rate: Very high. Constant fire.
Power: Very high.
Attack Type: One-Hit kill bullets / Explosives. Those destroy what they
are
attached to (no matter what)
Range: Medium
Durability: Very high.
Effectiveness: Infantry - Very high
Vehicle - Low high
Naval forces - Very high
Special Ability: Time Belt
Performance: She is the best to take down infantry, but her range
failes her, which leaves her exposed to enemy attacks, and if she were
to meet like three anti-infantry vehicles controlled by a player
manually, she would be sure to fall. And a anti-surface aircraft can
easily take her out. But other than that, the best way to use her (I
belive) is to Chronosphere her in to the enemy base with a transport,
and start wreaking havoc. If the enemy has built walls around every
single structure, however, that option is wrecked, due to the fact that
Tanya can ironacally not destroy walls.
**************
*YURIKO OMEGA*
**************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-All Commando
Terrain Movement: Ground and Water. High fast.
Price: 2000 $
Weaponry: Psionic Powers (Mind)
Firing Rate: Constant damage to target.
Power: Low.
Attack Type: Psionic Powers (Mind-Powers, Telekinesis?)
Range: Medium
Durability: High
Effectiveness: Varies, depends of number of units.
Special Ability: Psionic Burst (Area-effect, damages infantry only. The
closer, the stronger)
Performance:
Dude...this girl rocks, so you'll have to take with you a strong group
in order to take her down. But, there are some easy ways though.
Being able to attack while making your enemy unable to attack sure is
helpful,  and if you juggle your enemy (attacking one after one, making
them fly unable  to attack and attack those who have regained the
ability to attack) you should  be able to take down enemy units pretty
easily, but that requires you to do it manually.
Also, she can take down aircraft much easier. And when she destroys
structures, it happens in the blink of an eye.
COMPARISON: They are all different, so I won't add a conclusion on this
one.
Tanya should be used as an inside-invader and be transported to the
enemy base  with the Chronosphere and then blow up the base, but if she
meets anti-surface  aircraft things may get worse.
Natasha should always be at a distance, best at main defenses where
most  attacks come to. As already said, best garrisoned in a Battle
Bunker with 4 Flak Troopers, which is a very strong defense. Yuriko is
the best one-versus-one unit, but you must be careful cuz she gets
easily overwhelmed by, for example, Twinblades, or three anti-infantry
vehicles. Also, she can also be used as a inside-invader by getting
inside a Sudden Transport, if the journey succeeds.

*ROCKET ANGEL*
**************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Air, Anti-Surface
Terrain Movement: Air. Slow.
Price: 900 $
Weaponry: Photon Rockets (Light Rockets?) / Paralysis Whip
Firing Rate: High medium
Power: Medium
Attack Type: Homing rockets, area effect / Paralysis Whip, which stuns
the
targeted unit.
Range: Medium against air / Low against surface
Durability: Medium
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low
Other - Medium
Special Ability: Switches to Combat Mode / Paralysis Whip
Performance: This unit is of its own kind, but should always attack in
huge  groups. Their Paralysis Whip can paralyze infantry, vehicles,
naval forces and  landed aircraft. Their rockets are powerful, and if
you have an army of those,  you have gotten yourself an invationforce.
Hopefully you won't meet too much  anti-air(hehehe).

4.2 VEHICLES
------------
Note: Not all vehicles can kill enemy infantry by running over them
(un-random  car-accidents, LOL).
ORE COLLECTORS
Let's just take a quick summary:
They are obviously those who give you the money, but there are only a
few  differences. The Allied Prospectors can transform to Command Hubs
(expansion  bases), which cannot be reversed. The Soviet Collector can
activate a thick  armor, but not very useful considering the situation
anyway. The Imperial  Collectors can defend themselves by using their
special ability, but all of  them can run over enemy infantry. They can
all go on ground and water, but  none of them are fast.
********************************************
----MAINLINE TANKS / ANTI-ARMOR VEHICLES----
********************************************
Note: All of these can run over infantry.
*************
*HAMMER TANK*
*************
Note: The performance differs, by being affected by the secondary
weapon.
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Anti-Armor Tank
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 1000 $
Weaponry: Cannon / Leech Beam
Firing Rate: Medium
Power: Medium
Attack Type: Shells / Absorb enemy armor, perhaps enemy weaponry.
Damages
target only.
Range: Medium / Low long
Durability: Medium
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low. Can run over infantry.
Vehicles - Low high.
Structures - Low high.
Special Ability: Switches to Main Weapons (along with stealed ones) /
Leech
Beam
Performance: They are able to absorb the enemy's weapon if the enemy is
defeated, and their cannons are of medium strength and firing rate.
Just a  mainline tank really. But their special ability also lets them
absorb HP, so  you can use nearby structures to heal them if necessary.
***************
*GUARDIAN TANK*
***************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Anti-Armor / Support Tank
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Medium speed.
Price: 950 $
Weaponry: Smoothbore Gun (canon) / Target Painter
Firing Rate: Low
Power: High
Attack Type: Shells / Weaken enemy. Damages / Weakens target only.
Range: Medium
Durability: Medium
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low. Can run over infantry.
Vehicles - High.
Structures - High.
Special Ability: Switch to Smoothbore gun / Target Painter.
Performance: Though their firing rate is slow, their attacks packs some
good  punches, and their Target painter makes the enemy significantly
weaker.  Structures also, but it probably doesn't affect infantry - at
least not much.  But those are the best mainline tanks.
**************
*TSUNAMI TANK*
**************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Armor Tank
Terrain Movement: Ground and water. Medium speed. Nano-Deflectors give
a
temporary boost.
Price: 1000 $
Weaponry: Cannon
Firing Rate: High
Power: Low
Attack Type: Uh, Wave-Force shells? Damages target only.
Range: Medium
Durability: Medium. Can become significantly higher by using Nano-
Deflectors.
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low. Can run over infantry.
Special Ability: Nano-Deflectors
Performance: Their firing rate is quick, but their attacks aren't
really  powerful. Their Nanodeflectors aren't really much of a help,
unless you're  retreating - which you will surely not do. But
otherwise, they should always  come in numbers.
COMPARISON: All of the tanks should come in numbers, but the Guardian
Tank wins  this contest. By weakening the enemy in such a scale and
such powerful attacks,  they are the winners. The Hammer Tanks come
second, since they can steal enemy  weapons - which concerns vehicles'
weapons, and if you're lucky, you might even  steal a long-range
weapon. If you're even luckier, you might steal a naval  unit's weapon,
which might then be a long-range weapon. But the Tsunami Tanks  loses
totally this one. Their rate is good, but their power is NOT good,
which  makes them the worse.
Conclusion: All of the tanks should come in numbers, one (or more) of
the  Guardian Tanks should always weaken the enemy, the Hammer Tanks
should steal  weapons when the enemy is almost dead, while the Tsunami
Tanks should simply  come in numbers.

Note: None of these can run over infantry.
**********
*BULLFROG*
**********
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Anti-Air Infantry-Transport Vehicle
Terrain Movement: Ground and Water. Medium fast.
Price: 900 $
Weaponry: Anti-Air Flak Cannons
Firing Rate: Constant fire - Allas, very high.
Power: Low medium
Attack Type: Anti-Air Flak Cannons, area-effect.
Range: Medium.
Durability: Low.
Effectiveness: Aircraft - High
Other - Can't attack
Special Ability: Man-Cannon
Performance: Those transports are powerful anti-air units, though they
can't  resist much damage. What's bad about their Man-Cannon is that
you have to wait  until the unit lands, AND the descending units are
exposed to anti-air units,  which can be a bad thing. But, if you're
going to surprise your enemy with a  shock, they should be able to do
the job when they are packed with five  infantry each and comes as an
army.
*************
*RIPTIDE ACV*
*************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Type: Anti-Surface Transport Vehicle
Terrain Movement: Ground and Water. High medium speed.
Price: 750 $
Weaponry: Machinegun Turret & Torpedoes (Torpedoes on water only, duh)
Firing Rate: Medium. Short brakes.
Power: Low
Attack Type: Bullets & torpedoes. Damages target only.
Range: Medium
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: Infantry - medium
Other - Low
Special Ability: Evacuate Passengers
Performance: They use torpedoes at sea as well as their machinegun, but
they  aren't really powerful. They should mostly be used as a hit-and-
run transport.  Not much to do with these guys really.
******************
*SUDDEN TRANSPORT*
******************
Note: Performance matters heavily on the situation.
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Disguisable Infantry-Transport Vehicle
Terrain Movement: Ground and Water. Medium fast.
Price: 500 $
Weaponry: --
Firing Rate: --
Power: --
Attack Type: Disguise. Somehow a naval force-disguise like a sub can be
used as a disguise at the surface too.
Range: Indefinite. The unit this unit is supposed to be disguised like
just
has to be in view and targeted.
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: --
Special Ability: Evacuate Passengers
Performance: It matters on your enemy. If it's a computer, the Sudden
Transport  will surely get a sudden shock itself becuase of scouts. But
if your enemy is a player, things may get different. The enemy player
will surely suspect this new unit coming from outside the base, so he
might try to order the unit around, which HE CANNOT, or alternatively
start the unit's explanation movie, which also reveals its true
identity. But, you can also disguise it to safety WHILE the enemy
attacks it. That is, if the enemy is a computer.
But those might be able to launch a sudden inside-attack.
COMPARISON: The Bullfrog can launch infantry far away, and is a
powerful anti- infantry unit. The Riptide is more a hit-and-run
transport if armed with  Javelin Soldiers, though they can attack
underwater units, and the Sudden  Transport can be used as a surprise
attack.
******************************
----ANTI-INFANTRY VEHICLES----
******************************
Note: None of these can run over infantry.
********
*SICKLE*
********
Nationality: Soviet Union
Type: Anti-Infantry Walker
Terrain Movement: Land. High medium speed.
Price: 900 $
Weaponry: Triple machineguns.
Firing Rate: Constant. Short pauses.
Power: Low
Attack Type: Bullets. Damages target only. Their Flea Jump can damage
infantry.
Range: Medium.
Durability: Low.
Effectiveness: Infantry - Low high
Other - Low
Special Ability: Flea Jump. Can be used to jump/down up cliffs, or past
small
rivers and etc. Can damage infantry too.
Performance: They can be a surprise to the enemy if they jump on them
(can also  damage infantry that way, and they can fight multiple
enemies to, but if those  enemies are anti-vehicle, your Sickle is as
good as dead (unless the anti- vehicle is an infantry. But, they can
jump over ledges, which gives them a quite advantagous special ability.
But they aren't too strong, so watch out.
*********************************************
*MULTIGUNNER INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE (IFV)*
*********************************************
Nationality: Allied Nations
Name: Multigunner IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle)
Type: Multi-Purpose Vehicle
Terrain Movement: Ground only. Very fast.
Price: 900 $ (800 in Uprising)
Weaponry: Varies. Normally missiles.
Firing Rate: Varies. Normally medium.
Power: Varies. Normally medium.
Attack Type: Varies. Normally homing missiles with area-effect.
Range: Medium. May also vary.
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: Varies
Special Ability: Evacuate Passenger
Performance: It all matters on the enemy and the passenger (if there
are any).  The weapons they can use with the infantry of the allies
inside them are:
1. Amplifiers (the dogs' Amplified Bark is seemingly recorded so they
can
paralyze enemy infantry)
2. Shotgun (higher firing rate than the passenger's)
3. More Missile Launchers (they fire faster, but after ten shots a long
pause
will begin)
4. Repairing Crane (to repair vehicles with)
5. Spy's Secret Gun (A special shot that kills infantry in one shot,
though
the firing rate is slow)
6. Anti-Infantry Guns (Tanya's guns, which kill in one/two shots, but
cannot attack vehicles though)
Their standard weapon is a common missile launcher, which has a medium
firing  rate and well against air-targets, medium against vehicles.
Also, if both the Multigunner and the passenger has star-veterancy, the
attack will be at its maximum potential.
*************
*MECHA TENGU*
*************
Nationality: Empire of the Rising Sun
Type: Anti-Infantry... what is it?
Terrain Movement: Ground and Water / Air. Slow fast on both.
Price: 800 $
Weaponry: Rapid-Fire Autocannons
Firing Rate: High. Constant fire.
Power: Low
Attack Type: Wave-Force bullets? Anyways, damages only
target.
Range: Medium
Durability: Low
Effectiveness: Infantry - High
Aircraft - Medium
Other - Low
Special Ability: Switches to Jet Tengu / Back to Mecha Tengu
Performance: They're certainly the better against infantry, but as the
Jet  Tengu they are the worse. If they were to fight vehicles than can
attack both  air and ground units, those guys are done for. But against
Infantry they're  doing a well job. I don't see why they should go on
water, but their air-form  isn't their best form.
COMPARISON: The Multigunner IFV certainly is something of its own kind
(but  it's the best anti-infantry vehicle with an Peacekeeper inside),
the Sickle a  little different, and so is the Mecha Tengu. They are
pretty different all of  them, so one cannot properly compare these
three vehicles. Also, none of them  can run over infantry.
Conclusion: The Multigunner IFV has as the name implies multiple
purposes, and  the Sickle can be used to surprise the enemy and cross
ledges and distances,  and the Mecha Tengu can become an anti-air
aircraft or stay its anti-infantry  form. None of them can tolerate
much damage either.
