Red Alert 3 Map Terrain Elements

Unlike previous Red Alert games, Red Alert 3 will incorporate all types of terrain into gameplay in a much more dynamic and important way.

Units from land, air, and sea units from all three factions will take each other on in a grand game of rock-paper-scissors, a balance philosophy that will clearly be at the heart of the game's unit design. Antiair vehicles take down flyers, while getting trashed by antivehicle units, only to be bombed back into the stone age by naval destroyer ships, and etc etc.

Red Alert 3 will also feature multiple terrain heights.

• Units on high ground will enjoy a tactical advantage in terms of line of sight and offensive advantage.
• Units on low ground won't even be able to see their elevated enemies.
• This makes leaping units such as the Soviet bullfrog walkers extremely useful, as well as the frequently talked about parachuting bears who will, incidentally, be vulnerable to antiair fire while they're falling from the sky.
  

There are plenty of units that are suited for the multiple terrain types.

• Tesla boats known as "Stingrays" can also travel on land, making them a replacement for the Tesla Tank.
• Anti-infantry spider-like tanks called "Sickles" that have the ability to jump over terrain elevations.
• An amphibious transport unit called the "Bullfrog" evacuates its passengers using a large "man cannon".
• The Empire of the Rising Sun has submersible planes.

Naval warfare is still present. Many units are now amphibious, trading effectiveness for increased flexibility compared to ground-only units. In addition, the unit called MCV featured in almost every Command & Conquer RTS, is now able to move and deploy on water; this makes placing buildings on bodies of water (excluding barracks and war factories) possible.

Players who ignore the ocean are likely forfeiting a significant part of their potential economy to their opponents. Further stressing this is the fact that, despite some campaign maps being entirely land based, all multiplayer maps will have significant bodies of water in them.
