In any of the 1v1 tests the battlemaster doesn't have horde bonus, which it usually does in battle (comming from 2 years worth of multilayer experience, you avoid sending it into battle unless having horde most of the time) you can easily fix it by picking the war propaganda GP and using the spotlight ability.
Scorpion Rocket is probably one of the most powerful upgrades in the game. You dont buy Scorpion Missiles for your Scorpions. You Buy Scorpions for their Scorpion Missile
Their low armor though become a major issue late game. They are just obliterated by artillery or air attacks and in narrow chokepoints they get in each other's way and against long range units they struggle. So while their burst damage is impressive especially considering their cost against a player that's paying attention they can be easily countered. However if you managed to catch someone off guard and they manage to close the distance they are indeed insanely cost effective.
The funny thing about that cutey little tank is that thing is most likely very modernized P-26/40 italian tank from World War 2. Its like GLA got hands on some really junk tank (italian ones were kinda crappy, even during their time) and managed to pimp it up to stand against something like US Crusaders, which are basically more fancy Abrams, just by adding better armor, ammo and rockets.
@@RichterBelmont2235 Topple 2 empires at the same time, as the good old days, when Arabs defeated Persians and Romans, together, with their armies combined.
@@BaranZenon Actually during their time the Italian tanks were pretty good. The P-26/40 was a formidable vehicle when compared to other tanks of the time like the British cruiser II and the German Panzer III. The real problem was poor Italian leadership and the corruption in the manufacturing industry that didn't want to innovate. While the P-26/40 was a match for the Cruiser II against things like the Sherman it was hopelessly outclassed. However a 1940 Panzer III wouldn't have fared any better. However the Germans weren't using 37mm Panzer III's in 1943 anymore. It's not that the Italian vehicles were inherently inferior but they just couldn't keep up with the other powers when it came to producing tanks and developing new ones. Despite what Mouscilini might have wished the Italian industry wasn't really comparable to the great powers. Italy's industry was only 12% the size of Britain's and only 7% the size of Germany's and only 5% the size of the US. Even the French industry which was the smallest of the great powers was over 5 times the size of the Italian one.
Well, the story does take place nearly a decade after the events of Generals and the writting is not that bad. For example, the US has gone back in tech a lot due to isolationist policies (which implies more expensive imports of certain materials required for high tech) and a reduction in military budget, both result of the defeats it suffered in europe against the GLA. China's limitations in nuclear arsenal deployment are due to serious problems they had with an unhinged general Tao.
Always happy to see the CnC games still being rich in content even after nearly 30 years. Good video. All factions are unique and that is important for an RTS.
@@felixleong61 Nope, the last C&C game is C&C: Rivals, a mobile game. People got real mad when it was announced, people expected a new classic style RTS C&C game, but instead they got a crappy mobile game with microtransactions. Rivals was the final nail in the coffin for the series.
Great video. I suggest you also add another test: Equal Resources Spent. Say, allocate $10.000 for each unit type and match them vs another type. For example, the Kodiak beats every other in a 1v1, but how well does it fare in groups against same resources? This also makes range upgrades more important, as some units will be able to fire behind their allies while others would have to move around. Using this video as an example you would have squads of: 15 Scorpions 10 Crusaders 7 Kodiaks 9 Panzers 13 Battlemasters. For the Upgrades test you could use these squad sizes, then apply all the upgrades, then see which faction spends more, then add more tanks to the cheapest ones until you match (as closely as posssible without exceeding) the price of the most expensive one.
One thing you should have done is tell players what hot key is needed for each Tank and Upgrade. Being reminded of that kind of information in a video like this is extremely helpful to a beginner. It may sound miniscule. But having videos teach me about hotkeys is so useful and helps me memorize the hotkeys much easier. :) Great video otherwise. Really really like this format and super useful for RotR beginners.
Nice to see a new ROTR uploader, Each one of these tanks have their pros and cons, also when you will use them. So I hope you'll be up to listening to it on a discord call, maybe we can record it :)
It's interesting that the ECA tank is called the Leopard cause it's design philosophy actually matches that of the Chieftain. The actual German Leopard tank was lightweight and fairly cheap, being kind of like the battlemaster. Using mobility, numbers and firepower to overwhelm the enemy from fairly close range. It also had armor very spread out and a lot of anti infantry weapons cause the idea was to have the artillery and air support take out the enemy tanks and then the leopards would launch the counter attack. The British Chieftain was meant to endure an enemy tank attack and break it from positions.
I appreciate the amount of detail you put into the analysis in your video. I have learned a good deal from watching this. Thank you for making and uploading this video.
Can't believe I still recognize the Freedom Fighter's OST. Loved that gem! Amazing video too, really makes me want to pick it up again. Very helpful info.
Can't believe how the Scorpion went from the worst main tank in the game in terms of surviving a 1v1 encounter to second best with only a few upgrades.
I just watched your vid just now and I noticed that on the usa crusader part for the upgrades you didn't add one of the three battle phases from the strategy center. I know it's not a direct upgrade as it's for all but during gameplay, all players and ai use any of the three which kinda makes some minor difference on combat. Anyways that's just my small nitpick. I love these kinds of vids man!
You need to realise that every faction does things differently USA doesn't need a strong ground force because it has the most powerful Air force out of the all China is all about the hordes And GLA is not a conventional faction
Reasons for this. There is a balance as everyone says. The Kodiak and Leopard have long spawn times and are very expensive. However, Russia having the strongest MBT is sorta the point as Russia is a brute force armored warfare faction. They are SUPPOSED to be unchallenged in armored fights, as ROTR makes it clear that Russia is especially made to be for armored supremacy.
I always wished the CnC Red Alert series, Generals, ZH had accurate names, abilities, armor, armament, and so on. Very much like how War Thunder does it.
1) Is the scorpion rocket pod from the GLA scrap able to stack with scorpion rockets? Can we see how well stacking both does it possible? 2) Does the canister shot for the leopard affect it's range or damage to other tanks? 3) Could you show how well 'same cost' and 'same numbers' fights go? It feels the leopard is very comparable to the battlemaster when unupgraded, but more expensive? Also how much hP is left? Overall I liked the video, I am so glad to see this mod get love
1) Yes it does More on 2) unlocking Canister Shells gives the Leopard the ability to toggle between normal shells and canister shells. You're not permanently losing out on anti-tank damage by purchasing the upgrade. (Same goes for the Kodiak's Refleks Rocket upgrade.)
The Crusader should of been renamed the M1 or M1a1. The fact that it takes more then 1 shot form the main gun to kill an infantry soldier or a group of them in a tight proximity to each other has always been weird to me. Plus not have machine guns to begin with is also weird (i.e. vanilla CnC Generals / zh).
Never played Rise of the Reds, so I have a question. How go general promotion tanks (Paladins, Marauders, or whatever equivalents in the RF or ECA) fare against the standard ones? Would a Kodiak with missile turrets get smoked by a tank that could simply laser half of them out of the sky?
@@j.madelozo8222 I mean tanks are supposed to crush infantry in-game, and its pretty annoying when using groups of tanks as they damage and even destroy each other as the tanks are running infantry over. The coaxial MG kinda helps as it gives them a weapon (of sorts) that doesn't damage each other. Plus the coaxial MG does a bit more damage combined with the main gun against lighter vehicles like Technicals.
Kodiak almost 2x the cost of some tanks = comparison , oh battle master and scorpion loses to it. Pretty sure fully upgraded horde of battlemasters would win vs Kodiaks for same value. And the same can be said for Scorpion tanks, which would kite kodiaks for days.
Do you have the game patched with GenPatcher and do you have GenTool installed? GenPatcher fixes a lot of the issues that allow the game to run more smoothly on modern machines. GenTool does some other fixes too and lets you play online. Try those and see if it runs better.
You didn’t give attack order to the “targets”. This resulted in some units not firing back for a few shots before responding. In fact, I saw 1 tank get shot to death without moving at all. It makes a lot of difference for “close fights”. I assume this issue is the reason why the Kodiak’s missile weapons weren’t used in the final 1v1s? USA strategy centre failed to make an appearance. It’s bonus effect is still considered an upgrade. I don’t remember seeing the USA missile drone in the test. (forgot name of drone) Leopard didn’t seem to have nano shock absorber in final 1v1? No horde bonus for BMs. A critique with all negative observations? Well, you got everything else right. Hope to see more and improved videos. Suggestion: It’s a lot of work but consider treating vehicles with differing weapon loadouts as different vehicles. Ex: A crusader with battledrone might perform different from crusader with targetting drone. Or kodiak with cannon vs a kodiak with missile launcher.
Hi, I was wondering if someone knows did rise of the reds 2.0 already launch or if not when is it due to? I've stopped playing ROtR some time ago, so I am not up to date
It has not launched yet. The mod was in hiatus for a long time. But good news! It was just announced earlier this year that the creators have resumed work on the mod. There will be a version 1.9 before 2.0.
I would have liked though if the Kodiak had the same retaliation ability to the conscript had. That it is Russia's signiture just like the horde bonus is for China.
@@MrMarinus18 The kodiak's speciality (and Russian Doctrine in general) is having Fairly Weak Infantry but having absurdly powerful vehicles and Assault Armaments (The Mauler dominating in its Role being able to take out Light vehicles faster than other Troop carriers like the Technical or Humvee) and the Kodiak outclassing all of the MBTs in everything but Cost and Speed and then there's the Sentinel, the Golem and Blackbear which are so powerful that the Overlord looks like a light tank in comparison
@@Randomgamer-di3ow The Golem is great, the Sentinal though is far too specialized and cumbersome. But you do make a good point that the Russian vehicles are very quality heavy so it wouldn't make sense for them to have that ability as they are not meant to be expendible.
@@Randomgamer-di3ow The weird thing is that despite the weak infantry Russia has like 3-4 transport vehicles. The overlord is a support vehicle first and foremost.
Crusader should of also had the uranium upgrade as well. Plus the name changed to M1a1 w/ the ability to upgrade to M1a2 (or have it as one the advance tanks). I never understood why C&C games never used the vehicles real names w/ the actual armament they had (i.e. the USA hasn't used the 105mm on a MBT for at least 40 years). Why is the coaxial machine gun such dog shit?
So... after this whole war thing do we like, downgrade all the Russian vehicles to be realistically crap and in non-working condition? *edit* i know it may come off as trolling but I'm actually really curious what the current geopolitical situation means for future "modern era" RTS games.
If you want to make a good game, then the vehicles will be functional and decent. Unless you give the army with shitty tanks VERY good aircraft or infantry and balance around that. Generals was done in the early 2000s, so it was shortly after the Twin Towers attack (9/11 2001) and the US had been in the middle east for at least 3 decades. Now look at the GLA: they make use of terror tactics, are displayed as overtly zealous and they use Cold war and even WW2 vehicles, often patched up with scrap. So no, the current geopolitical situation doesn't (and shouldn't) affect videogame development. RTS is about game mechanics, the "modern era" just make use of current day (or slightly into the future) tech and aesthetics. You can also set your game in an alternate timeline (as GEN/ZH, ROTR and SHW do) and give the middle finger to current events. Or just make it about current events, but make everyone look like clowns and/or assholes. The current ukraine/russia conflict? Both sides are full of shit. Both Ukr and Rus politicians and military are so deep into bullshit that you could make a whole new bull out of the shit. Not something I would make a game about, unless to mock them. Wanna try something serious? Make a game about, I dunno, "Warlords of Africa" in which you get factions such as Somali Pirates, Nigerian Enslavers and so on. You could have a campaign mode for different factions, a skirmish/multiplayer mode and a Conquest mode similar to the Global Conquest in Kane's Wrath mode.
i love the game cgc generals zero hour in in in the so cool i so crying the game so good army soldier :) and he have tanks soldier i love it the new command g conquer generals zero hour 2 - :( i so crying the game my DVD game E is not work the command g conquer genrals zero hour deluxe edition
Would you rather have it that they rush development, and release the mod filled with bugs and other issues? There's plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
The Ukrainians used javelins and hit-and-run tactics!At least the Ukrainians have no tanks left! while the Russian Federation has tens of thousands of tanks!
I like to think of your guides as information given to a general of some 4th neutral faction (my guess would be India)by that factions inteligence agency about its main rivals

Scorpion Rocket is probably one of the most powerful upgrades in the game. You dont buy Scorpion Missiles for your Scorpions. You Buy Scorpions for their Scorpion Missile
The upgrade alone turns the Scorpion from a meh tank to a very good tank. Cost-effective doesn't even begin to describe Rocket-equipped Scorpions.

The Overlord is definitely one of my favorites due to childhood nostalgia.
From ROTR I absolutely love the Golem tank!
I think that the leopard tank and the kodiak tank are much stronger than the others and it upsets the balance
Both of them take a considerably long time to build. The leopard takes almost as long as a freaking overlord to build.

Also the Hover upgrade it'll reduce the armor of the crusader making them glass cannon to all AT units with composite it'll negate the effect as well
Yep, pretty typical for the GLA and Soviets. Fast but flimsy yet packing a punch with upgrades. And the other is slow, but sturdy and packs a wallop.

@@Randomgamer-di3ow The Golem is great, the Sentinal though is far too specialized and cumbersome.
But you do make a good point that the Russian vehicles are very quality heavy so it wouldn't make sense for them to have that ability as they are not meant to be expendible.
@@Randomgamer-di3ow The weird thing is that despite the weak infantry Russia has like 3-4 transport vehicles.
The overlord is a support vehicle first and foremost.
Crusader should of also had the uranium upgrade as well. Plus the name changed to M1a1 w/ the ability to upgrade to M1a2 (or have it as one the advance tanks). I never understood why C&C games never used the vehicles real names w/ the actual armament they had (i.e. the USA hasn't used the 105mm on a MBT for at least 40 years). Why is the coaxial machine gun such dog shit?
Russian tanks are really effective but way too expensive to build cost more than the other faction.
Leopard needs a buff. it's some overpriced crap
So... after this whole war thing do we like, downgrade all the Russian vehicles to be realistically crap and in non-working condition?
*edit* i know it may come off as trolling but I'm actually really curious what the current geopolitical situation means for future "modern era" RTS games.
If you want to make a good game, then the vehicles will be functional and decent. Unless you give the army with shitty tanks VERY good aircraft or infantry and balance around that.
Generals was done in the early 2000s, so it was shortly after the Twin Towers attack (9/11 2001) and the US had been in the middle east for at least 3 decades.
Now look at the GLA: they make use of terror tactics, are displayed as overtly zealous and they use Cold war and even WW2 vehicles, often patched up with scrap.
So no, the current geopolitical situation doesn't (and shouldn't) affect videogame development.
RTS is about game mechanics, the "modern era" just make use of current day (or slightly into the future) tech and aesthetics.
You can also set your game in an alternate timeline (as GEN/ZH, ROTR and SHW do) and give the middle finger to current events. Or just make it about current events, but make everyone look like clowns and/or assholes.
The current ukraine/russia conflict? Both sides are full of shit. Both Ukr and Rus politicians and military are so deep into bullshit that you could make a whole new bull out of the shit. Not something I would make a game about, unless to mock them.
Wanna try something serious? Make a game about, I dunno, "Warlords of Africa" in which you get factions such as Somali Pirates, Nigerian Enslavers and so on. You could have a campaign mode for different factions, a skirmish/multiplayer mode and a Conquest mode similar to the Global Conquest in Kane's Wrath mode.
@@ismaelsantos5378 Thanks for your answer, interesting read!

waiting over a decade for this finally to be done. "its done when its done" is such lame thing for a developer to say.
Would you rather have it that they rush development, and release the mod filled with bugs and other issues? There's plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
You're the type of guy who wants a game to be released early and actively complain that it's full of bugs.
devs aren’t college students anymore, they have bills to pay and this mod aint gonna do that
Kodiak is a russian made tank hahahahah theres to manny T-90 and T-72 in Ukraine had bin destroyed
The Ukrainians used javelins and hit-and-run tactics!At least the Ukrainians have no tanks left! while the Russian Federation has tens of thousands of tanks!
Rather, let's see how the Leopards and Abrams will feel in the Ukrainian swamps of the plains and forests))))))
I like to think of your guides as information given to a general of some 4th neutral faction (my guess would be India)by that factions inteligence agency about its main rivals
Battlemaster needs it horde bonus to compete lel
Hover Skorpion is just the best thing. Nyooom
Why are the Americans using a British tank?
