A RA Beta discussion/RA general bullshit thread. Here's an interesting thing for you RA modders.. the Gunboat, Cruiser, Destroyer, and Submarine all have 'odd' designations. All designations in C&C have a meaning, no different here. these are NATO reporting names:

Gunboat-PT(Patrol Boat)

Destroyer-DD(NATO designation for Destroyers)

Cruiser-CA(NATO designation for Cruiser with cannons)

Submarine-SS(NATO designation for Submarines)

Spyplane-U2(U2 Spyplane used by United States. Spyplane may have been allied at a point, we can assume.)

'AA-Gun'-ZSU-75(USSR manufactured quad gun. Mounted usually on BMPs. Hence, AA Gun should be Soviet.)

SAM Site-NIKE(U.S. Code name for first-warning SAM program on the east coast from the N.Y.C. to Washington, D.C. region to shoot down any Soviet bombers. Last measure against Soviet bombers.)

YAK-Yak(Yakolev design company)

MIG-MIG(Mikoyan Gureuvitch aircraft)

Makes you wonder. Was RA meant to be a real Cold War type game? Certainly seems like it. the old T-72 render floating around on the net was the Heavy Tank, and the Mammoth Tank probably was nonexistant at this time, atleast in RA...

The first thing I do when I install RA on a comp is switch around AA/Sam site ownership. And SS is just the NATO designation for a diesel/electric submarine, not submarines in general.

I wasent sure on SS's designation, figured it was Diesel/electric, though they are both obsolete classes anyway. #Tongue

ok, so the AA and SAM were switched... but for the rest I dont see your point. A Cold War game?!?! The whole POINT of RA is a 'what if the Cold War wasn't cold' scenario.

The reason for the modern tank designs in RA1 was because the .shp's and 3d models where taken straight from TD (due to budget and schedule of development)

The fact that Red Alerts orginal name was "C&C World War 2" undermines your entire non evident idea that it originally based in the cold war or watever your point was...... Neutral

The comparison of names really does mean nothing (not quite sure why you posted it)

The title of this thread is also quite misleading

Throughout RA1 there are many things that are taken from ideas that didnt quite make it into TD and are recycled in some way (parabombs, MHQ used as MRJ etc) and also as i mentioned above the other obvious ones (Medium tank design, Mammoth Tank from TD etc etc blah blah blah)

Something I just found that agrees with Carn.. Harv..

The Allied Radar image, the image that plays over your radar when power is low, is called 'NATO'radr..

Does that not point towards his conclusions being true?

Incidentially, SHP Builder 3.35 is unable to open it.

Hmm...
Interesting.

Well,
look at the Mammoth Tank cameo.
Ok, good.
Now remove 1 barrel, center the other like a real tanks. Also remove the missile packs.

What Cold War tank does it look like?

Hint, the front of the tank in the cameo should be defining.
