Description For my Red Alert 2-themed mod, Red Alert Zero;

My newer Higher-Detail replacement to the Flak Car.

The Flak Raider functions as both a high-speed APC (capable of carrying any 6 infantry units at a time), and also as a mobile medium-powered anti-air gun.
It is further outfitted with side-mounted grenade launchers converted to fire Flak shells with botched detonators; giving it a short-range weapon against ground nearby targets; making it quite dangerous for enemy infantry to approach and excellent for ram-raids.

Adding to this is the fact that infantry units are far more deadly in this mod- making a the Raider carrying them a much more dangerous opponent.

For the artwork- I tinkered around with modern BTRs and older Half-Track style BTRs- sadly a few attempts to combine them didn't work, so I went with the more 'truck-shape' form and worked with these instead- making it look a fair bit like previous Flak Track designs, but meh- it gives the right appearance where it counts.

Enjoy

Antipersonnel grenade launchers, because screw you and everyone around you.

I feel if the "flak launchers" were just like irl APC's with flare decoy launchers, it would accentuate its defensive role more.

Ahh, a combination of RA2 Flak Track, German Sonderkraftfahrzeug snd FlaK and Soviet BTR and truck... really an interesting combination I like it, and if the mod will be for ZH, it would be fairly easy to make, the only problematic place on it will be the front's shapes, I think i will find a way how to solve it

Great drawing and very cool concept the GLA's anti air craft would be a lot more realistic if they had looked like this concidering the amount of damage they could take.

Thanks!
I always did find it a bit hard to swallow that a few weaponized civilian vehicles with some steel hammered on here and there- like what the GLA throw around- would last two seconds against even a standard tank or buggy.
