Japan's first RA3 unit profile is out.

King Oni Unit Profile

-"Slow and steady"

-Unit voice may have something similar to Robot Tank

-Big AT Laser: 1 shot a Hammer Tank (At least in video)

-Also good vs. Infantry (15 min demo)

-Special ability to charge through and smash tanks, infantry and buildings (yes you read right... at least regular power plant).

I suggest you to stop vide first, let the process bar filled, then play it. Today's video loads uber slow.

In the clip it looks like it is sneaking into the house late at night on tip toes for fear that it might wake the parents.

The model has been vastly improved since we first saw it, and looks great.

Its about time!
True, model looks much better than in demo.
And that rush ability kick ass.

Very cool. Didn't expect to get an Empire unit before E3.

It does look better than it did and appears to be the T3 match up for the Apoc.

Needs more eyes shooting pewpewpew lasers.

At least we can be sure that they'll balance out this almost unstoppable unit with a high cost.

Well it says that conventional weaponry is no good against it really. They might do something silly and allow only 1 of them to be built - they talk about how prohibitive the costs are a lot. They must have more up their sleeves than a high cost - I'm thinking multiple attacks on a single armor weak point, which can be implemented due to directional armor. That's my best guess - blast a leg/arm off it with 5 tank shells at the same time and hey presto it's not quite so awesome anymore.

EDIT: and likely very weak against a unit such as the cryocopter - freeze it from the air and it will not stand a chance with no anti-air weaponry.

Cost doesn't balance a unit..

i think only the red one(in before red comet variant lol) will be the only limited to one, even then its has been prove they up the stats of the units in the profile videos

also take note the profile is from allied/soviet point of view so the unmanned and cost prohibitive is speculation even in the lore

It will be - it'll be like the Apoc tank from RA2 (i hope) - lethal but counterable - I'm also hedging my bets on a really long reload time between the two shots from the eyes.

That looks damn awesome

The new model looks absolutely great! If this is any indication, the Empire of Japan will have some awesome looking units.

Finally, it doesn't look like it's straight from Gundam, I guess.

I never thought I'd say this but...This looks...I think the word was "good". It's better than the Oni from older screens, less bright, more powerful.
Let's just hope the thing isn't overpowered. It cuts through tanks like Godzilla and the Bull Rush looks as if it could destroy an entire base within seconds if you bring enough Onis. I'm not sure if the high cost can make up for that without making it too expensive for a vehicle...

well i think its gonna work just fine with the new economic sytem ;expensive-->powerfull--->not spamable-->diferent from the avatar rushes that i did in CNC3

I don't likes it. The RA3 development team are relying too much on cost as a "prohibitor", when in most CnC games, "prohibitively expensive and time-consuming units" are thrown against each other in at least a dozen numbers, if not more.

Sweet model and animations =o

I'm assuming that this is an epic unit (i.e. only one can be built at a time).

No, that's the Red one I think...

Just as with C&C3, EA will need 9 patches before the game even becomes playable at a mid-skill level.

Your forgetting the 10th (Amirite?) patch that EA hasn't bother to make.


EDIT:In RA3 EA might not need so many patches if people *Actually* test the beta.

Yeah but you have the Ore Node system. No other C&C game had Ore Nodes.
