American Units



 

Name:
 Toma Hawk Missile System
 Description:
 Little is known about this unit but from what I can tell it will be some form of artillery unit most probably like the V3 from Redalert 2.


 

Name:
 POW Bus
 Description:
 This unit is used for transporting POW's back and forth. Not much more is known about this unit at this time but hopefully more info will emerge in later previews.


 

Name:
 Crusader Tank
 Description:
 The crusader is an all-purpose tank that's capable of traversing any type of terrain, even water. Initially, the crusader is a standard tread-based tank, but it can be upgraded with VTOL attachments that transform it into a hovercraft. It's this upgrade that allows the crusader to cross water. In fact, the VTOL upgrade also makes the crusader faster, though it will more vulnerable to damage from enemy fire. One of the crusader's special attacks is the ability to launch a drone that flies alongside the tank and fires a potent laser beam at nearby enemies. The Crusader tank also carries a pilot, and he'll eject from the tank once it has sustained a significant amount of damage.


 

Name:
 Leopard Tank
 Description:
 This tank is unique to players who choose the NATO tank command. It's a fairly straightforward tank that's cheap to build and very effective against infantry, thanks to its turret-mounted .50-caliber machine gun.


 

Name:
 Bull Dozer
 Description:
 Instead of in other C&C's where you built something on the side bar then placed it now you have to tell the bulldozer to build something. So this is basically your construction unit. With it you can build anywhere on the map but the only drawback is that it is really weak and can get blown up measly, halting your construction don't no if this unit has a build limit or not.


 

Name:
 Pilot
 Description:
 Each aircraft in the US arsenal will also come with an individual pilot. If shot down, the pilots will eject from their planes and hit the ground safely. They will actually be able to take over tanks and other enemy vehicles to help them escape from behind enemy lines. What's more, once they eject, they retain their veteran status, and they'll transfer that status onto any vehicle they commandeer.


 

Name:
 Comanche Gunship
 Description:
 This gunship type helicopter can maneuver sideways and backward in midair with no loss in speed. It is effective against tanks with its powerful missilesif needed it can grind up infantry on the ground to. It also contains a pilot witch ejects if the helicopter gets shot down.


 

Name:
 Aurora Strike Fighter
 Description:
 Modeled after the rumored American spy plane. This fighter bomber carries one bomb and travels so fast that when at full speed it damages any units it flies over. This plane uses the majority of its fuel to get to its target then after dropping its load it slows down to conserve fuel. When at full speed this aircraft can not be targeted by ground fire but it is vulnerable after it slows down at this point it is possible to do damage to it. Like other aircraft in Generals, the Aurora carries a pilot.


 

Name:
 B52 Bomber
 Description:
 This classic bomber is used to drop the US special weapon the Daisy bomb among other war heads. This jet is also used for dropping troops on the map.



 

Chinese Units



 

Name:
 Troop Crawler
 Description:
 This is China's APC and it truly demonstrates the pure size of China. This single APC can load up to 20 foot soldiers. The APC also comes with these soldiers inside so no need to fill it. The troop crawler is meant for quick insertion into enemy territory. It also has an medical facility so any unit inside it is automatically healed.


 

Name:
 Inferno Tank
 Description:
 This tank is the classic flame tank. It is very effective against infantry but can also cause considerable damage to building's by setting them a light. It is well armoured against infantry fire but is measly taken down by other tanks. When destroyed, the inferno cannon explodes in a giant fireball, engulfing anyone who is standing too close.


 

Name:
 Nuke Canon
 Description:
 This is much like the mobile artillery in Tiberian Sun you move it to a location then deploy it. The Nuke canon will when deployed fire its weapon over long distances creating instance fire balls when the weapon explodes.


 

Name:
 Overlord Tank
 Description:
 This is a large double barrelled tank/artillery piece for the Chinese not much more is known yet.


 

Name:
 Standard Infantry
 Description:
 I believe that this column of troops is made up of the Chinese standard infantry similar to the GI or Conscript from Redalert 2. but no more details at this time.


 

Name:
 Hackers
 Description:
 This is General's version of an Engineer. By hacking into satellite unlinks and radio transmitters, hackers can effectively control another player's vehicles for a small amount of time and temporarily shut down an enemy's base. "We wanted to address the engineer rush," Bonin said. "While it was a valid tactic to use, we always felt that it was a little cheap. With the hackers, we force players to work a little harder in order to take over buildings.


 

Name:
 Propaganda Blimp
 Description:
 This slow-moving blimp might be reminiscent of the Kirov from Red Alert 2, but it rains down propaganda instead of 500-pound bombs. This blimp flies over its own troops and, using the many speakers attached to its side, inspires them to fight harder. As their morale increases, Chinese troops will move faster and fire more quickly than their unenlightened comrades. The blimp can also be used to negate the effects of the United States' demoralizing weapon, though it has no offensive capabilities whatsoever.


 

Name:
 Seismic tank
 Description:
 The seismic tank is truly massive. It's made up of two interconnected pieces, and it's powered by four sets of treads. It has a single turret with two 150mm cannons that fire concussion shells. When these shells hit the ground, they cause seismic waves that damage any nearby buildings and cause vehicles and units to slow down temporarily--and that's in addition to the explosive splash damage. The seismic tank is so big, you can place a single base defensive structure--a turret or SAM--right on top of it, and it can crush smaller tanks that get in its way like a soda can.



 

The Global Liberation Army Units



 

Name:
 Technical
 Description:
 Black Hawk Down refers to these low-tech units as "technicals." They're nothing more than some kind of weapon mated to an everyday pickup truck, jeep, or car. The type of vehicle that will emerge from the GLA factory will be random, but each will come built with an effective .50-caliber machine gun on the back, and it will be manned by a fairly accurate gunner. These units also demonstrate the GLA's ability to scavenge enemy parts--if it approaches a destroyed tank, it can pick up that tank's turret, for example, for added firepower. Through scavenging, technicals can upgrade their .50-cal weapon to a 20mm recoilless rifle, and once again to a rapid-fire RPG system. In addition to those upgrades, technicals can also improve their effectiveness by attaining veteran status


 

Name:
 Suicide Car
 Description:
 This is a car packed with explosives to cause the maximum amount of damage on buildings. The car will explode when it comes into contact with a enemy killing anyone on board.


 

Name:
 Rocket Buggy
 Description:
 This is a fast attack buggy good for ambushing tanks and large infantry patrols. But light on armor.


 

Name:
 Quad Cannon
 Description:
 This is a anti air battery for the GLA side. It is quite good against planes but of not much use against tanks. Is affect on living targets is still unknown.


 

Name:
 Angry Mob
 Description:
 This collection of 20 units is recognized as only one unit. They will band together to protest and hail rocks and fire small arms at enemy units. The MOB can join with other mods to become even more dangerous. They can also be updated to carry AK-47's instead of small arms.
