Btw the premier addressed the bald guy as "Yuri" in the intro, so it's fair to assume his name is Yuri. You got him as name unknown.

The Allies are a bit more gimmicky, the Soviets are a bit more straightforward, both sides have their share of weird science but also a simple, reliable core of normalish units.

Update on previous page! The separate tabs for buildings, defenses, infantry and vehicles are so nice. They're hotkeyed to QWER, and if you've got a finished building or defense ready to deploy, pressing Q or W will pull it out as well as switching tabs, it's great.

I have to assume "didn't fit the tone" meant "would make the maps more than one colour".

IMO the more interesting IFV modes are the ones you get from putting Soviet infantry in it. Interesting in both good and bad ways.

hey, they shot us first! also if nothing else IFVs are crazy fast, great for scouting if you have some lying around and an area that needs checking. In multiplayer people tend to use dogs for their early scouting since they're the fastest thing that comes out of a barracks. Dabir fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Apr 11, 2020 |

The Allies won the war, so the Soviets adopted their superior technology. Meanwhile in America, they invented the Patriot missile system, and you're a Patriot, aren't you? Comrade?

Why would the missile need to launch? It's already in the middle of Chicago, what would going into the air do for it?

Yeah, never noticed that redubbed line before. Looks to me like he said 'Prism Towers' - maybe they were planned for the Soviet side originally? Or it could have just been a script mistake.

Homeworld 2 had a similar definition for flak a couple of years after this. Flak Frigates fire a big ball of metal that explodes into shards, and are specialised for taking out fighters - I guess that's the closest thing Homeworld has to "aircraft". Funnily enough, I think the other side's anti fighter weapons were missiles in that game as well. Not saying HW2 stole its ideas from RA2, but...

I can't find any footage of a cow going in an IFV, but the President unit from the Allied mission where you save him from mind control gives it the same weapon.

From what I hear, in the base game buildings have two internal weapons defined, one for GIs, one for conscripts. The IFV has considerably more options defined (most of which don't get more powerful as it or its passenger gain veterancy for some reason). Interestingly, if you put a flak trooper in an IFV, the resulting flak IFV can only fire at the ground.

Crazy Ivan is an unconventional unit, but that just means you have to use it unconventionally. Strapping bombs to the trucks in this level is one instance, in multiplayer and general use you could consider strapping bombs to something fast like a dog or a terror drone and sending it at the enemy. And yeah, get one in an IFV and the IFV becomes a dirty bomb.

This was the first mission that gave me real trouble, and boy did it. I lost my conyard too. It's a hell of a difficulty spike.

Yeah, there's a lot of ways you can tackle this map, especially if you actually take out all the infantry with the sniper and don't get him killed when the job's only half done. If you're patient, he can whittle down buildings too - not recommended for the fully functional prism towers, but he's a safe way to pop the damaged pillboxes. When I last did this mission I had a lot of fun with a max rank IFV. Most of its garrisoned weapons aren't affected by rank, but its rockets sure are.

yeah that Einstein wasn't a fat jolly cartoon though. whatever happened as a result of erasing Hitler also erased the original time machine and turned Einstein into Science Santa.

Can you put a dog in a battle fortress to let it detect spies like you can with an IFV?

Dog IFV gains spy detections capabilities, but it's hard to tell that's what happened. If you're using them as AA it's a straight upgrade, so may as well.

For me, RA2 hits a really great sweet spot of being camp and hammy without being completely over the top absurd.

From what I remember the Flak IFV actually can't shoot down air units, it's strictly ground only.
