O_O Whoa there, Snowman. I do NOT think the devs created the Darcsens for you to fetishize them. Granted, they are cute, but most of the VC girls are like that in some way.

Actually it's more along the lines of I like Darcsens for a different reason. Being born Native American, I've had my share of racism, stereotyping and judgement based on my ancestors ages ago, hundreds of years before I was born.
So seeing how Isara was treated by Rosie in VC1 right away, judged before she even knew her, I know how that feels. That's where my likeness for Darcsens really stems from, not my fault most of the Darcsens were girls, cute girls at that |

What
The FRACK?! Alright... Well, I HAVE seen odder things (It Came From Red Alert!). But that might be borderline OOC. Also, Snow, I do know how you feel, somewhat. I'm native American, too, but also 1/8 German. I was accused of Nazism by this one total SOB. Actually tried to turn ME in for racism.

Quick question conserning the tank - are there armor and/or firepower upgrades, and if so, how many levels, and what does it resemble in the end? (Does it look like the Edelweiss, Tiger, King Tiger, Leopard 1, etc.?)

Some tanks take 1 CP, others 2 CP, and some even 3 CP (they better be pretty damn badass to take 3 CP).

2 CP is what I'm used to now. The Edelweiss is a commendable medium tank, and the Shamrock a decent light tank (though, my personal focus is towards hulking monsters with four treads, twin cannons, and 16-layer composite armor, so 'decent' and 'light tank' don't belong in the same sentence to me.) 1 CP I'll probably avoid - there are more powerful infantry units I can use (the Armored Car seems to be anything but, and the Light Tank's evolutions are... below par, IMO.) I'll probably end up using those 3-CP monsters. While I like my infantry mobile (I'm a pretty big scout user in VC1 - though that may change in 2), my tanks had better damn well be able to take it, and dish it out twofold.

We should really use this topic to try and learn a few things about the characters. I've been looking around, but once again VC2 videos have become scarce (or I just can't find them). There's a few characters I want to learn about.
Spoiler for Characters I'm interested in:

I haven't had the event for the Darcsen girl you are talking about and so far I have yet to beat the game so no access to any story for the mechanics. You really don't see her much at all.
Spoiler for scientist:
You got a lot of choices for tanks, two type of light tank, you also got a utility armored vehicle, light and medium recon vehicle, med. and heavy tanks. Weapons there is also the types that focus on power, accuracy, stat effects, and amount of bullets and they do change depending on what type of it you are using. Also now you only have one line of main upgrade while the specials ones are researched on a individual basis and you only receive one. |

So no double-barreled, nigh-invulnerable juggernauts of destruction? D: Darn, I was looking forward to my own, blue mini-Apoc tank.
Wait, is there even a twin-cannon upgrade?

There is however, a really really huge cannon that you can outfit on your tank...almost like the barrel upgrade for Edelweiss. I haven't actually unlock the heavy tank yet, so I can't say anything, but from fighting enemy heavy tanks, I have to say they can take A LOT of damage...4 shot from the side and even when directly behind radiator is still two shots. It is definitely well protected.
No idea on the twin-cannon though, |

Well, if there is no option to mount twin 120mm guns and missile launchers, there should be D:
Joking aside, at least having the option to clone the Soviet Heavy Tank from Red Alert 1 (a midsize tank mounting twin heavy weapons) would be cool. Though I will easily settle for a tank with loads of armor - if it can take two shots to the Radiator, that's just win.
