Im a little worried The Empire will be OP in RA3 :/

AA: It's interesting that you mention the Mecha Tengu and the Sea-Wing because those are two of the faction's three transforming units--the third is the Striker-VX. As with every unit in Red Alert 3, those in the Empire have one primary ability and one secondary ability. In the case of these three transforming units, their secondary ability is to essentially switch roles altogether and become entirely new units. In its default state, the Mecha Tengu is a lightly armored ground vehicle that does a good job of harassing other early-game ground units like Soviet Bullfrogs or Allied infantry. In its secondary form, however, the Tengu transforms into a fast-attack jet that can only target (but is deadly against) air units. A smart player will use the Tengus in jet form to quickly get across the map and then transform them into their ground form to harass the enemy's starting forces. The VX is similar to the Tengu in that it can transform between ground and air states, though it can only target units that are on the opposite plane of the VX. That is, in its ground mode, the Strike-VX can only target air units, and in its air mode, the Chopper-VX can only target ground units. This ability is a lifesaver when a group of Chopper-VX units encounter some Soviets MiGs or Allied Apollos, as they can quickly transform into Striker-VX units and blow the jets they just ran into out of the sky.

TENGU RUSH KEKEKEKEKEKEKE!!!! Still, I would think that an armored bear unit would beat just about anything.

This reminds me of Tiberium Sun where NOD could just load a drill transport full of engineers and sprout up right next to your base and boom, no more base. iirc concrete kept them from drilling, but being able to do that anyway is fucking obnoxious

That bolded part sounds a lot like the usual dawn of war Chaos opener (Raptor squad). It'll be counterable-you'll have to do some light turtling, but I doubt it'll be too overpowered.

Really looking forward to RA3, but I doubt I'll get to play much besides WAR until the new year.
