Unfortunately, the generator is not powerful enough for a laser weapon. Unit Chassis Despite years of research, the ED scientists still have not been able to develop an effective anti-gravity generator. ED units continue to run on engines based on old 20th century technology. Ground vehicles have wheel or caterpillar-track type chassis. The main drawback to this is that different terrain types have a great effect (almost always negative) on their mobility. On the plus side, the simplicity of their power transmission system means they don't break down much. The aircraft fly by means of propellerscrew propulsion. This gives them enormous manoeuvrability, allows them to fly at low altitudes beneath the enemy's radar, and most importantly, enables them to land and take off practically anywhere. Kruszchev An upgrade of the Pamir, HT 400 Kruszchev tanks were constructed as defence vehicles. Their two most significant features are low speed and very heavy armour. The ED mainly uses them to repulse enemy attacks. Their heavy armour makes them extremely resistant and they can inflict appreciable losses on any opponent. Its main function is battling heavy enemy ships. The unit's enormous speed enables it to strike like a cobra and quickly withdraw beyond enemy range. It can also defend ships of the Leviathan class. Leviathan This heavily armoured ship is the ED navy's main strike unit. It has an extended firing range, meaning that its rockets can hit targets situated far inland. Various upgrades of the Leviathan allow it to mount more weapon systems. Cossack This small helicopter, equipped with machine guns, is perfectly suited for reconnaissance operations. With its tremendous speed and manoeuvrability, it can easily dodge enemy rockets, while its special ammunition helps it destroy light enemy units. Grozny Due to the heavy losses of MI 106 Cossacks during the early part of the war, ED scientists were forced to develop a new helicopter that would be strong enough to withstand a direct hit from a surface-to-air rocket. The needed breakthrough was reached when the scientists developed new composite armour. This enabled them to construct an assault helicopter, the "Grozny, " with much more armour than the Cossack. However, the increase in protection came at the expense of overall flying speed. Thor The Thor is a heavily armoured helicopter used to carry out air raids. Able to carry either heavy rocket launchers or bomb bays, the Thor is capable of delivering a deadly payload to the enemy. The Thor is also versatile since it can be equipped with a Container Hook. [. . . ] Use lightning to take out those at higher elevations. As the game progresses, it becomes more and more difficult to summon the forces of nature. The closer the Earth gets to the Sun, the drier the planet becomes ­ until rainfall is a precious commodity. Nevertheless, the Weather Control Centre does not completely lose its usefulness. [. . . ]
