Modern CSUs

[Noname]

Here are some ideas for modern civ-specific units

Americans- No change

English- HMS Invincible or HMS Dreadnought

Indians- Sepoy (infantry)

French- Le Clerc or Mirage

Germans: No change either (maybe Leopard???)

Chinese- Red Guards (marines)

Russians- MiGs or T-34 (Hind??)

Japanese- Zero? Bicycle troops?

Egyptians: Not sure.

Zulu- Changed to South Africans . Like it or not, they are still the most developed country in Sub-Saharan Africa. They're special unit would be the Rooivalk chopper.

As for the others, maybe we can change them to more recent civs?

Japanese- Zero? Bicycle troops?

Or how about Kaga? (Cheaper version of Carrier)

 

[.:KNAS:.]

as for HMS Invincible and HMS Dreadnought they were names on ships, not types of ships, same goes for tha Kaga(but im not 100% on that one though)

Some Ideas...

Russians- Katyushas or Su-27's
English- Gurkhas (Britain rarely uses English troops in their wars anymore)
Egyptians- Desert Hunters (Infantry with +2 Movement, +2 Defense in Desert)
Japanese- Light Carrier (Cheaper carrier with +2 Movement)

Can't think of more... need sleep..

for the Egyptians definitely surface-to-surface missiles. they were the first to use it in a war ('73 war)

The HMS Dreadnought was the first true modern battleship. It is THE reason battleships are also called dreadnaughts. For a time, battleships were divided into dreadnogght BB's and Pre-drednaought BB's...As such it's OK as a unit in my book...although I wouldnt go so far as to make it a unique unit for the british. If you wanted to use a unique ship for them, I'd go with the battlecruisers. The British seemed to love those...

Riiiiiiight until the point the Bismarck made a mockery out of Her MAjesty's fleet by sinking the Battlecruiser Hood and several others before finally being sunk.

I just said they liked them..not that they were that good of an idea.

Are you forgetting WWII's V-2s from Germany? Unguided surface to surface missiles.
