For the Helix's gatling cannon, it doesn't actually replace the standard machine gun on the helicopter. Rather, it acts as an upgrade to it, as the standard machine gun can still be seen engaging ground targets with the gatling cannons.

Native Chinese here, and I want to share some lores and personal views 1、For the command center, it says "人不犯我，我不犯人"，means:"If we are not offensed by the others, we should not offense the others." But this sentence actually has a second part: "人若犯我，我必犯人”， means:" if we are offensed by the others, we are definitely going to offense the others." 2、For the airfield, it says: "空军军官学校“, means: "Officer academy of the airforce", this definitely came from the Republic of China Military Academy established in 1924, located in Huangpu dock, Guangzhou. On its gate it says: "陆军军官学校”，means: "Officer academy of the army". They just changed one Chinese character, it became the airforce instead of the army. This style is quite recognizable, because none of the other military academies has a sign like that. 3、Red guards, this is the name for the militias during the culture revolution(1966-1976) who supported the revolution, actually doesn't exist in the PLA's ranks. The rifles used by the red guards, seems like the type-56 semi-automatic rifle, but the model quality is quite low, so can't actually tell. However the type-56 is an old rifle, at the time of this game was developed, the PLA actually already equiped with type-95 automatic rifles. 4、The nuclear missle, looks strange. At the time of this game was developed, the PLA had two type of ICBMs, DF-5 and DF-31, neither of them looks like that. From its model it actually looks like the US Minuteman-3 ICBM. And it's also strange that China is heavily rely on nuclear technologies in the game. When we detonated our first nuke in 1964, we announced that we will not use nukes first, and we will not use nukes upon countries and regions without nukes. The PLA nuclear arsenal is also relatively small compared to the US and USSR/Russia. The nuclear power plans are kind of OK, but the nuclear powered tanks are just rediculous. Also, we never developed nuclear cannons like that, it's definitely inspired by the M65 atomic cannon developed by the US, that portrait is quite typical. 5、The Tiananmen in the first mission of the base game campaign is about half accurate. It has some details, like the two sentenses on it, on the left it says:"中华人民共和国万岁", means:" Long live the People's Republic of China", on the right it says:"世界人民大团结万岁”, means:"Long live the great union of the people from all over the world", these sentenses truely exist. But in the middle it actually has a portrait of Chairman Mao, it's missing in the game. 6、The H-6 model in the game is wrong, it's more like a B-52, look at its 8 engines, while H-6 has only 4, at the roots of its wings in pairs. Also, "H" comes from "轰", pronounced "hong", means "Bombard", it's the sign of bombers in Chinese millitary. The Y-8 model is much better. Similarly, "Y" comes from "运", pronounced "yun", means "carry", it's the sign of cargo planes, you may see that the recently developed cargo plane is named Y-20. Also, Y-8 is a medium size cargo plane, more like the C-130, it can't even carry a tank, not to mention air-dropping it. 7、The names of those generals are strange, more like names of people from Hongkong or Taiwan, instead of main land China. When translating a Chinese name into English, in main land China we always us the Pinyin of the name directly, and it never spells like that. I can't even recognize what those names actually are in Chinese. In summary, the Chinese fashion in the game is pretty powerful, but it doesn't really feel like Chinese, more like the USSR for me. The developers definitely needed some native advisors for the game.

@KaosNova2 Жыл бұрын

IMO, they may have been thinking of having a Russian faction in the game, as a lot of the GLA areas are actually on the borders of the Russian Federation, but the Red Alert series already had Russia as a faction, and also back in the 2000s Russia was called a non factor in its military, while the propaganda hype in Western circles was that China was building an army in the 2000s. Being as how Electronic Arts was an American Software developer, and the time of the game development was in the 2000s with the “China Rising” hype, and we already had Russia as a faction in the Red Alert games, they did China instead in the Generals games

@MrMarinus18 Жыл бұрын

It is clear the developers prioritized gameplay over accuracy, the rangers as well aren't G.I.'s. I think they gave the Chinese infantry semi-automatic rifles to set them apart from the others. It also makes their horde gimmick much easier to implement if they fire shots one at a time. The jets actually look quite a lot like the J20 which would be quite fitting as the Chinese counterpart to the F22. Of course the issue being that the game itself predates the J20 by over a decade. The nuclear focus of China here is indeed quite odd. The massive nuclear arsenal of Russia and the US are kind of redundant and are mainly leftovers from the flexing of the cold war. They don't really serve a purpose but just neither neither is willing to get rid of them. However over 70% of US warheads are kept in storage. Not quite deactivated but actually putting them on missiles and launching them will take weeks or months. The nuclear cannon was also never put into service by the US and was never seriously considered. There was some speculation but it was never actually taken all that seriously. The canon itself was just way too large and cumbersome and it was deemed that heavy artillery was obsolete. That the only artillery would be light and medium and that the role of heavy artillery would be conducted by aircraft. I think they considered adding a portrait of Mau but they decided against it as that might be a little too controversial. With the names I think they more so named them after Chinese Americans. I think the USSR similarities were actually intentional. Generals was the game made to follow up the smash hit Red Alert 2. I think they intentionally designed China to be the new version of the Soviets from Red Alert. I still find it very weird the game is banned in China though. Cause the story features the US getting humiliated and turning inwards and China taking it's place as the world's dominant superpower. They also characterize China as brutal but not unreasonable.

@KaosNova2 Жыл бұрын

@@MrMarinus18 The reason why the Chinese Communist Party stated for banning it was because it portrayed China as very eager to use nuclear weapons whereas the Communist Party policy is to use nukes as a last resort against a powerful invading enemy like say if the United States invaded. This is equally nonsensical, as the GLA was the aggressor in the game and while it isn't America invading China, The GLA is an invading force into mainland China nonetheless. Guess being so stuck up in your own propaganda campaigns makes you nonsensical. The Chinese J-20 wasn't in service by the time of the game but the concept was advertised to the world before that fighter ever entered service for the Chinese Air Force, developing an actual fighter jet for a military is years in the making, and this game is meant to be set in the year 2020, so with the game being in 2020, China having J20s isn't that far off. Also China has elements of the Yuri faction from the Red Alert 2 Expansion in terms of Black Lotus being able to take control of enemy buildings with computer hacking similar to Yuri Prime being able to mentally control buildings, only when Black Lotus does it she doesn't have to keep focusing on the controlled building, and the enemy has to either recapture it with their own forces or destroy it. Also just like the Yuri Faction, China has gattling gun weapons including the gattling tank and gattling cannon, along with the Helix Choppers being similar to the floating discs of Yuri.

In fact, military training often encourages to use this before going 3 round burst or full auto to avoid the issues that can come from undisciplined "spray and pray" fire and to save ammo. Why that is the only firing mode on the other hand, I don't know. Assuming time restraint, money restraint, lack of coders, or to avoid making the horde bonus too op.

"This is the Overlord Tank", for the Overpowered Brute Force fuction. If you just wanna whale at the opponent with overwhelming force, this is the function for you.✊

Great video Jethild, looking forward to the lore on the Chinese Generals. One thing did catch my attention though: at 50:57 you mention the Nuke Cannon when summarizing general abilities you'd already gone over, and while I'm assuming you were referring to the Artillery training, the wording makes it seem as if a general needs to spend a promotion point in order to field this piece of artillery in the same way a GLA general would for the SCUD Launcher. While I do not often field the Nuke Cannon, I am familiar enough with it to know it only requires a Propaganda Center in addition to the War Factory.

The general does need to spend a promotion point to acquire the Nuke Cannon. It's one of the first Support Powers they can purchase next to the Artillery Training and Red Guard Training. You still need a War Factory and a Propaganda Center to actually construct the Nuke Cannon after spending a point on it. If you're specifically playing as the Nuclear General though, then yes, all you need is a War Factory and Propaganda Center to construct Nuke Cannons.

@@Jethild Ah that would be the source of my confusion then: I mainly use it as Shi Tao, and only for lols. I like the Overlord/Emperors much more, it's just a shame China doesn't have access to Pathfinders, as they're dead useful in a Bunker-lord.

@@theGreenChangeling I prefer him. He still has the vanilla arsenal with nothing removed. Unlike the others. He just has better tech. I guess it is "balanced" by the reactors running the vehicles being a danger to both yourself and your enemies.

FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this for so long. The lore of the People's Republic of China. Edited: I think the Red Guard uses the old Sks Soviet Rifle to arm their infantry, it isnt a bolt action but a semi automatic rifle.
