The Demolition Truck is a suicide vehicle, piloted by one player. It costs $2,400, is reasonably fast, and has no armor whatsoever. 100 points of health ensures that it will die from two clips of a Rifle Soldier's weapon.
Demolition Trucks are best used as sneak attack units. They're not designed for full-frontal assaults. Use a diversion and attack unexpectedly.
They do the same damage as they did in Red Alert, destroying buildings like the Power Plant and the Advanced Power Plant, yet leaving most structures alive with varying degrees of health.
The model and texture used in the screenshots posted is the old version. A new version will be shown within a short period of time.
If detonated manually, it will not harm friendly units. If destroyed by an enemy, it will light up any unit around it. It is an efficient infantry killer, almost all soldiers within its blast radius will die.
Try to be careful with them in groups. If one blows up due to enemy fire, it will cause the rest to light up in a chain reaction, wasting your credits.
Ignore the test level, it's the old version of Zama that we're going to get rid of.

Mind explaining us why exactly you're showing everyone the old version of the model in-game? You should wait until the new one gets textured instead. :\
Of course, it's always up to you, I just find the update to be pretty useless, heh.
I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

So, who will get the kill points of any soldiers killed in a non-manual detonation?
Does it kill people through walls that are inside structures?
If you are killed driving one, I can imagine these nukes exploding near an enemy base and getting 12 'boinks' where it wipes out every trace of infantry.

|
The player who caused the truck to explode gets all the points.

|
The blast should kill people inside buildings. I haven't actually tested it, but the damage radius probably wouldn't be effected by walls.

How do you detonate it? Press Fire or just ram a building?
|
Pressing the fire button will detonate the truck.

Why would they change the model? It looks just fine to me.
|
He gave us screenshots of the new model on IRC, most specificly #n00bstories.

So the person who destroys the demo truck has points added for any enemy kills, and also points deducted for any friendly kills?
If so, this seems bad. Basically meaning if you plan to destroy a demo truck, make sure you're in a one-on-one with it, otherwise you'll kill all your team mates at the same time.
IMO, if you kill it, it shouldn't damage/kill your own team members.

I say when it blows up that everything should go with it, regardless of team. Then, the person driving it gets points added/deducted from his team.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

You can only kill friendly units if friendly fire is on.

I very much doubt that actually. We're all quick to jump to conclusions and assumptions when someone mentions friendly fire.. like something will definetly be used for teamkilling purposes.
I've hardly seen any n00bs in renalert, it's not the same deal as renegade. Also, is it available for both teams? A rocketeer could fire a missile halfway across a level and heat seek it out.
