As a person who used to mod RA2(YR), Conscripts have one VERY niche use and it's against tanks because their armor class is more resistant to tank attacks

Having specialized units forsaking durability worked out better. Soviets kinda got gutted a good bit with YR shuffling out the other fun stuff and Iraqi Desolators are like the one genuinely good unique unit amidst the rest.
Truth to be told, I've never palyed RA2 myself BUT I did watch hundreds of high-level online play videos. I can't remember Prism Tanks being used, ever. It's always just tank rushes and tank rushes, or the occasional Korea Black Eagle build or French GC crawl.

Fucking about time there's going to be a sidebar for powers, but I don't think C&C's style really lends well to having complex tech trees more complicated than they needed to be.

One thing that annoys me with RA3 is that the AI can spam their whatever powers, that require line of sight mind you, in your base or harvesters all the time

I know it's petty of me to backseat game and complain but it's so weird that they'd play the entire game without using "right mouse button drag". It's like playing StarCraft without using the hotkeys.
Iraqi Desolators or a similar elite Tesla unit should have replaced Yuri in the expansion. The loss of Yuri and the cloning bats is a gaping hole in the Soviet arsenal.
My only memory of playing RA2 online is starting a random match and before I even had my war factory up, the enemy was flooding me with mirage tanks and they were turning into trees and I couldn't even target them and I got fucking wrecked

at least in games like AoE2 there's an ELO system so if you get analrekt, your ELO goes down and you get matched with worse and worse players until you're up against someone your skill level

I mean, Low Elo Legends covers everything below 1000 elo (IIRC) so you don't really have to lose THAT hard to get featured, you just have to play in an interesting/unusual way or end up making an entertaining match against another noob.
