You know, there's a slight mistake here. Not with the survivability of the monuments (though some arguments can be made, such as regarding the Alamo). But with one of them in particular. The Iwo Jiwa Monument shouldn't exist here because it was a monument from the real life timeline (ours), whereas the timeline in the game is due to an alternate WWII, in which Japan and the US never were in conflict, so the monument therefore can't exist because the preceding event that caused/inspired its creation never occurred.
Given that Korea is an independent nation in RA2's timeline, Imperial Japan must have already been defeated. While RA3 retcons this, the RA2 timeline is very clearly one in which the United States already defeated Japan so the existence of the Iwo Jima and Arizona Memorials is not a problem.
Hitler's rise was never tied to Japan, Japan felt cheated out of territory from WWI IIRC, I might be wrong, they went their own way and did their own thing.
I wonder how they decided what buildings should have what health. Like, the Twin Towers were originally destroyable by the player and you got some powerup crates for it. I assume they had lower health to make it easier to destroy them. Likewise, I'm sure anything you had to defend or could garrison had some balancing going on. But what about the other stuff?
I have another challenge for you Commander. Load one of famous city maps (there is at least one for Moscow and at least one for Manhattan) and let's see how fast can you destroy every building in it. All units and superweapons are allowed with no limitations. Just... Any% Speedrun City Leveling.
I guess it's technically possible that the bombing of Pearl Harbour and the American Japanese war could have still happened even if Hitler didn't exist, and Germany remained weak. Although super unlikely. In reality, the Soviet Union and Japan were bitter rivals, and so Stalin would never have invaded Western Europe without first defeating, or at least severely weakening Japan first, because he wouldn't have wanted to risk a two-front war. With Japan severely weakened, America wouldn't have felt the need to embargo oil against them, and even if they did, Japan would have probably just complied with American demands instead of attacking. The American oil embargo was in response to Japan occupying French Indochina, something France was unable to resist as they were occupied by Germany at the time. Had France not been occupied, and Britian not busy fighting the Germans, then they possibly could have resisted a Japanese occupation, or at the very least made them fight a lot harder for it. However, the Japs probably wouldn't have even tried to take it, as they were more hostile towards the Soviet Union. So yeah, technically not impossible, but super unlikely.
Sooo... The Golden Gate Bridge? I'm just curious to see if we nuke the steel tower, will it collapse the entire bridge like in the campaign? Or the rest of the bridge will float like in the first Soviet Campaign of Yuri Revenge (after going back from Jurassic era)?
Oh f not the twin towers

I lolled.
The balls to nuke the Twin Towers... You, sir, are a savage!

USS Arizona memorial exists, which means Japan still did Pearl Harbor and went to war against USA, just not part of WWII.

3:24 "This is bad General! Yuri is no longer Kremlin!"
Nukes can't melt steel beams.
Should've added McBurger Kong as well. It's also iconic.
Bet he saw the 9/11 jokes coming from far away
Soviet Nuke can't melt steel beams!

Imperialism power supreme
Talk about a slap-on-the-wrist nuke!
And also, you don't drop the _entire missile,_ boosters and all, on the target!
"In soviet russia ..."
For stone buildings, the stones deal no damage on the area when theyre destroyed, but metal buildings too
Should the twin towers have survived the nuke? *_...Black Eagle reporting._*
Well to be fair they were already cut in half.
@@Poo_Brain_Horse Ah, you will only need half the planes then.
Damn Chicago don't mess around
*WW2 Pacific Theater Memorial gets nuked*
Japan: 😐

1:16-Soviet Power Supreme
3:23-I say, Soviet Power Supreme
Looks like Fallout 3 is accurate, most East Coast monuments could take nukes!
I’ve just noticed something. Why do the Iwo Jima and Arizona memorials exist in this timeline?

What do we have left? Yuri Castle?
0:42-why do they look so strange?
They're supposed to be put in the upper corner of the map by westwood. They're not complete buildings.
Because they were very tall buildings and the whole building wasn’t meant to be seen.
@@derkatwork33got it
@@builder_dahomey same case for the Sears tower from chicago.
1:51 didn't WWII not happen in this timeline?
It did, just, not in Europe, only Asia.
