Red alert 2 black screen
Its armour was only equalled by the Battle Fortress and Kirov airship. This allowed the Apocalypse tank to defend itself reasonably well against aerial threats, especially in conjunction with its advanced heavy armour. Although these missile launchers were slow to fire, they were significantly more powerful than other anti-air missiles such as those found on IFVs. In addition to its cannons, the Apocalypse also featured a pair of anti-air missile launchers. The tank itself was much larger and slower than the Grizzly and Rhino tanks, but also much more powerful, doing more than twice the damage of the Rhino with its twin cannons. Apocalypse tanks were seen passing the Golden Gate Bridge in the cutscene before Operation: Sub-Divide, as well as in front of it after the time shift in Operation: Time Lapse.It is available in all subsequent missions. In the Soviet campaign, the Apocalypse tank becomes available during Operation: Chrono Defense.The following is based on the Soviet campaign of Red Alert 2 and might contradict canon. Romanov's Black Guard possessed four elite Apocalypse tanks which were deployed around the Kremlin.Apocalypse tanks are first encountered in the Allied campaign during Operation: Mirage.They can also be seen in the introduction video to Red Alert 2. Apocalypse tanks were deployed during the initial invasion of the United States (several were seen in San Francisco when the Allies travelled back in time to stop Yuri).After Einstein's erasure by Cherdenko, the Apocalypse tank had a different design, now equipped with grinders and a magnetic beam but was stripped of its anti-air armaments. It was lighter and cheaper than the old version, but was less armored. Like the earlier Mammoth tanks, the Apocalypse was designed to go toe-to-toe with any enemy unit, and emerge the last unit standing.įollowing the Psychic Dominator Disaster, the Soviets introduced a new design of their Apocalypse tank. The Apocalypse also featured dual Mammoth Tusk missile launchers, effective against enemy aircraft. Against infantry, the cannons were significantly less effective, doing relatively minor damage. It possessed a pair of powerful cannons effective against both vehicles and structures, and was capable of eliminating the IFV and other light vehicles with a single volley. The Apocalypse tank was the most powerful tank in the Third World War. After the success of the Mammoth tank in the Second World War, the Soviets developed an updated and refined version of the Mammoth, the Apocalypse.
