The following is based on Red Alert 2 cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources. |
|---|
The Howitzer is a cut artillery unit from Red Alert 2. According to the residual rules.ini data, it was supposed to be an Allied vehicle, available to the Republic of Korea only. Its INI data and voxel were left in the game, making it possible to place this tank in a map using FinalAlert or fully return the unit to the game by INI editing.
Design
Its voxel model was inspired by the mobile artillery from the original Red Alert, and was likely modified into the German tank destroyer, and the main difference, besides the colour scheme, is the angle of the cannon. The tank has a Soviet colour scheme, being white instead of silver used in Allied vehicles. Its artillery role was taken by the prism tank, while its South Korean exclusive unit role was transferred to the Black Eagle jet in the game's final release.
The explosion resulting from a Howitzer's attack uses a unique sprite which displays improperly, due to its use of Tiberian Sun palettes which were changed during the development of Red Alert 2.
