well, actually each general's Sentinel only gets 2 upgrades
but before that, i wanna inform you that Sentinel Tank is amphibious and more mobile than Overlord, since it's smaller than Overlord.
btw....
Default Army / Non-General....
it's Sentinel got "Arena Radar" or "SAM Pods"
Tesla General's Sentinel got "Arena Radar" and "Tesla Cannon"
Tesla Cannon surely replaced the SAM Pods, and it'll fire tesla laser toward enemy aircrafts and missiles.
Spec-Op Forces/SOF General's Sentinel got "Arena Radar" and "Fireports"
Fireports replace the SAM Pods, and it's a bunker like Overlord's Bunker, except that if Sentinel is destroyed, this Fireports are still there with units inside it, like GLA Battle Bus
Artillery General's Sentinel replaced by Gvozdika Sentinel. An half tank, half self-propelled artillery. Gvozdika Sentinel already comes with "Arena Radar" when created, and it's still can be upgraded with "Shorad System" to provide advanced protective system. oh yeah, Gvozdika Sentinel got fixed turret, can't move, like Marauder. But when deployed to be S-Propelled Artillery mode, it's cannons will be elevated about 45 - 70 degrees by diagonally from it's current horizontal position.
you can see that SAM Pods is only for Default Russian faction.
while the generals themselves got their own version of Sentinel's upgrades.
anyway....
Shorad = Short Range Air Defence.
Consist of : 8 missile pods, 4 heavy machinegun cannons
beside good against aircrafts, it's also quite reliable when used to defend it's host tank against enemy vehicles or infantries.
But since this Shorad System (with already built "Arena Radar") will make Gvozdika Sentinel become overpowered, then they'll not be amphibious, also move much slower than default Sentinel.
oh yeah, you'd also ask about what's the "Arena Radar" upgrade is...
Arena Radar is based on
actual Russian radar system for their tanks like T-90, T-80U, etc on the real world. The real Arena Radar looks like a cylinder, providing radar capability.
but in this mod, Arena Radar's functions are.....
1. Stealth-detector Capability
Enable the Sentinel/Gvozdika Sentinel able to detect stealth units
2. Anti-Missile Protector
Will makes all the missiles that moving toward it, missed it's target and hit ground or flying to nowhere. like China's ECM Tank ability. But this one is more.....
advanced.
oh yeah, here are some images of the Gvozdika Sentinel (480 polies)
next-gen of Apocalypse named "Sentinel" for ROTR
