Demn never knew the potential of Dolphin
And Whale?!
*_[Jotaro intensifies]_*
"Naval units can still perform attacks while wrapped by the giant squid"
How noble, they went down fighting
Did not know dolphins could evac terrors. Who would even think to try that....
Dolphins, squids and dogs all use the same code to attach to their targets. Of course it would work.
@@amitakartok op didn't ask why would it work, but why would you attempt to do it
The the Terror Drone is in a vehicle over water (such as an Amphibious\Hover Transport or Robot Tank) does the Terror Drone sink?
I've been using dolphins wrong all this time damn
Yeah, I usually divide them up into two groups: one attacks the front, the other attacks the side. Of course using this AOE strategy. Its really effective.
It would appear that Westwood recycled the sonic weapon from the Atreides Sonic Tank from the Dune RTS games, which also has such an advantage of penetrating targets. In addition, since it is on land, the Sonic Tank can also fire through walls (which the Disruptor could do as well in Tib Sun if I recall correctly).
@@everlastingauraX Funny, that's how dolphins mate, too.
Enemy in every tg's RA 2 video: Kirov reporting
Da!
Me!)
Me: spamming AA defenses
But
*insufficient funds*
Kirov reporting.
allied amphibious transport: how about an adventure?
me: in you? ... nope
I think they are also the fastest transport, so it balances out
Bring on the Mig
Hshshshshshsh...that last part...
No wonder why Terror Drone can move faster....
That the reason why 7:45
About the Aegis cruiser's attack more effective when you manually set to attack, you can do this automatically if micro managing is to tedious. Set it to "patrol mode" by using the way point mode, then make a polygon like a triangle in an area you want to patrol and done. This is my best defence against a Kirov when I'm busy in another part of the map.
7:49 Ok 😂 That was unexpectedly hilarious
Now I know why Aegis Cruiser can attack only air units. His rockets ate SO powerfull!
If you think that's powerful watch this video. ruclips.net/video/HU7Ha1YHZCo/видео.html
If you play PVP games, you will know that Aegis is definitely not a good choice for air defense weapons compared with the Soviet's flak. Aegis is only good at against kirov (and UFOs), and you barely see people use kirov in pvp games
@@moonfire18 I got me wrong. It was a joke. Aegis can attack only air units and isn't very fast but by powerfull I mean that he easily destroyes flying Apocalypse Tank and other units drawed by Magnetron.
@@dzikischab621 Yeah, but Magnetron is only available to Yuri, and Aegis is only available to Allies.
@@moonfire18 Allied Anti-Air is underwhelming as a whole. Missiles do less DPS than flak and Gattling, and are projectiles rather than insta-hit. So if an air unit targeted by allied missiles gets destroyed prematurely, that's a lot of damage cut short.
If you have a damage unit setting on a damaged building with walkthrough cells (ie War Factory, Refinery, etc.) You can heal the building using a Repair IFV by repairing the unit.
LMAO, that ending was great. Man, I didn't realize dolphins were so powerful.
I feel like Dolphin evacuated Terror Drone from tank is most likely the bug cause Dolphin also evacuated Giant Squid when it wrap around the ship as well so most likely the projectile that attacked from them seem to be the cause of it
Nice observation
Ahh... a good observation. Got a new lesson here. Thanks Kratos.
Right, but just like any other softwares, bug turns into a feature
@@detaaditya6237 Oh yes, I agree(looks at glitches related to Johnny Cage)...
Because it's in Red Alert 3 as well... Except the Terror Drone outright dies though...
It's not a bug it's an intended feature since both the Squid and Terror Drone puts vehicles in an "Infected" state. The Dolphin's attack is intended to disinfect the unit as it did in Allied Mission 11.
Dolphins work even better in their role than Disruptors in Tiberian sun it seems....wow.
In Mental Omega, Dolphins have lasers. It can attack on structures
And the Stealth Tank for the Soviet Faction from Triple Power Mod is basically a Dolphin except it's on land and permanently cloaked. They use the same Sonic Pulse weapon like Dolphins and it's sprites were taken from Tiberian Sun unfortunately they can't shoot missiles. Can be detected by a Mobile Stealth Jammer, Destroyers, and Subs. Sadly the source for Triple Power Mod is long gone.
TS is somewhat a prototype to RA2 in some aspects.
Looks like the most useless unit of the game turns out to be the most unique and useful one! As always, you still teach us new things with this game!
7:00 Exactly a countermeasure used in Red Alert 3, but treated like the infected subject is being repaired(destroys Terror Drone), as I have learned...
That dolphin ending tho 😂😂😂.
Still dont get it why Dolphins fuck ships
have you ever heard of the story of a Terror drone riding a Dolphin to cross a river?
Didn't the drone attack the Dolphin half way across?
2:13
Funny story, I did experiment this desolator thingy out of curiosity when I'm still a little boi. I thought it's funny and mesmerizing because it looked like a fireworks display.
I love how you're making comedy clips with the YR engine!
tg
2:04
Man, how did you do that ? you are really genius, that is a very useful using for the desolators, good job 👏👏👏👏👏
We use that all time in online multiplayer games
@Jafferson Llaban I watch tg a long time ago, and i help him to make better videos, he start with stretched resolution videos, so i help him to fix his problem.
@Jafferson Llaban And CnCNet
@@Kikematamitos
Okay 😇😁 thank you 😇😁 also, I know you, you makes videoes and tactics like tg, you have many useful tricks on you channel, I know you, Ocey, tg, zoom3000 and tkragon, but, the most videos I watches from tg channel, because he is so funny he have many funny things at the end of any video like 7:49 when the dolphin made that 😂
I've never seen this in a real multiplayer combat. The dreadnoughts are usually way out of range of a desolator.

Re: Aegis Cruiser attack speed
It's not so much so you manually have to order it to attack but more on how Aegis' targetting works, in an auto-attack only missiles that will go to quickest to the target will fire. When ordered, the targetting priorities of the other missiles change to target directly ordered.
An Aegis can shoot to its fastest if the ship rotates perpendicularly towards the target as it's shooting. Basically clearing as many of the targetting calculations for the weapon.
Little addition to your tips:
1)Load a bunch of Crazy Ivans or Cuba terrorists in a flak trucks.
2)Get those flak trucks into a hovercraft. 3)Send hovercrafts to enemy base...
Congrats! You have your personnal shaheed forces and you have no need to be Libya😅
7:02 They've been doing that since RA2?! 😳
All ships in the ending = the Jedi Counsel
Dolphin = the Senate
"Great as always..."
-Papa Boris
OMG! TG, your tips about antimissile desolators defence and dolphin potential excited me well...
Dogs: can't develop increased skill
Squids: develops increased skills by committing copious amounts of friendly fire
They truly are sentient.
The Last one blew my mind. I knew this game had many "secrets" or hidden mechanics and I found quite a few, but this one... I wouldnt have ever figured out. Thumbs up!
Damn, I finally found your channel I would watch your mk4 videos back in 2009 I was a kid but your videos had helped me a lot, damn how the years have changed lol keep up the content 👍.
MK4 huh? Haha, I was completely noob at editing at that time!
@@tsiripas Yep but for that time it was pretty well for me, love your videos though.
Terror drone been terror'd
I didn't know about last trick, thanks
That feels when your own dolphins destroys your own naval by defending intruders
I discovered about dolphins attack accidentally when I was attacking an enemy submarine and that wen behind the shipyard and shipyard got destroyed quickly than usual while the attack of dolphin was passing through it after that i tested it like you showed and used it properly after that
Gigachad Dolphin: Why yes, I'm also an expert mechanic in curing your vehicles from enemy terror drones, how did you know?
The last part is gold xD LMAO
Poor Terror Drone.
2:19 not only Aegis, but all anti air units
There's a reason Gattling+Magnetron is so effective...
tg
7:49
Ohhh 😂😂😂 this dolphin is really scary 😂😂😂 sure he is an orca 😂😂😂 (Orca is a kind of dolphins ).
1:02 Ah I see the attack is not a terror drone like attack which will periodically damage the Robot Tank even when they are on the ground when the squid engaged a Robot Tank without Triple Power Mod. The creator of the mod seemed to coded that attack.
Amount of details that this game has is just out of mind , even games now days after 20 years can't compete with RA2 . Damn u EA for shutting down C&C series
The halftrack with filled infantry + amphibious transport always gets my head scratching. If only the halftrack can transport something like a tank in them, that will be an exploit
2:18 ship can sink in mid air, amazing
While also half of it is in land. xD
If only that last part about the Dolphin was a joke
0:22 how about using typhoon sub for such demonstration
I was quite surprised by that last one because I honestly thought dolphins only attack other naval units. As for the flak tracks maximizing their infantry capacity and then being loaded onto amphibious transports I already knew that one. You could also do that in red alert 1 by maximizing infantry capacity in APCs and then loading them onto transports
Never knew that boomer is immune with giant squid
They respect to the elderly tho
You should have known that from Soviet Mission 5.
Its a balance thing more or less.
Amazing work like always I love to see you playing some multi-player
One more thing... dolphins also can damage units in the land.
The game that keeps on giving
2:37 When I play for fun against AI, I set up the Aegis Defense System at a choke point like the middle section in Bay of Pigs or on a bridge. I put a few gatling tanks inside tank bunkers, 3 Magnetrons on patrol loop behind that and 3 Aegis Cruiser on patrol loop beside the gatling bunkers. Gatling deal with infantry, Magnetron lifts incoming vehicles from afar and Aegis shreds them.
Elite Aegis honestly feels like it has the highest DPS in the game. It shreds Apocalypse tanks in seconds.
I'm utterly surprised that desolators' radiation can destroy missiles :O
I have played this game for two decades and I didn't know it until I watched this video today ...
6:57 what!
6:57 rarest meta that I have ever seen
Aegis will auto attack at full power if it encounters an enemy on waypoint patrol.
Is there any difference when demolition truck with elite status? Lol
Dolphins confirmed OP.
And they're pretty powerful in RA3 if I'm not mistaken.
5:10
Just use looping waypoint, aegis will automatically use its rapid fire
7:00 - Same concept in Red Alert 3.
OMG!!! Never knew about dolphins can deal with terror drone...
1:00
Hax! :P
Don't Giant Squids have a unique, glitched-out animation for attacking Robot Tanks that involves surrounding it from below with tentacles?
I've seen it happen a few times and it goes all kaleidoscopic on land... and the tanks are still capable of movement too...
2:25
That sinking feeling...
3:35
Yeah, otherwise it'd be too easy to disable Yuri's naval operations since he's only got two ships :D
5:09
That's why AEGIS Cruisers are Kirov Killers as soon as they get promoted once... as long as you're paying attention. I wonder why that's a thing though... why does it only fire faster if you tell it to actually shoot at something?
7:05
That's something I didn't even think about but it makes sense... if it can dislodge a squid, why wouldn't it be able to dislodge a Terror Drone? Roughly the same code, right?
Lovely quality video work dude.
Anti-Air
Flak= Splash Damage
Missile= Accurate Single Target Damage
2:06 never know this before
It would be nice to see in your next video as to how many prism towers you can link together, and whether any additional tower above this limit could be added to the chain somehow. Thanks.
WTF 20 years I've played this game (on and off) and I didn't know you can separate Terror Drones from vehicles with dolphins o_O
the end really got me😂😂😂😭
Dolphin: You underestimated my POWER
The dolphin terror drone trick also works in RA3 if I'm not wrong?
It'll destroy the terror drone though
thx for video bro! u best ! best ending lol :D
1:30 : TAKE THAT AGE OF EMPIRES.
No wonder dolphins always sucked - I was using them wrong
If the desolate can destroy the rockets isn't a Yuri clone able to do that too?
one thing i know about aegis are they do splash damage when automatic attack, its kinda usefull when u face mass air unit
You didn’t mention you can use air craft carriers or dragernaughts to assist anti submarine warfare if one of your units can spot the submarine. Then you can use your other naval units to force attack the area where there is a submarine. Thanks for the video by the way great content!
You can force attack without spotting. And AI is stupid enogh to run into it.
That outro though, so funny...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:46 How a Dolphin montage
0:07 Soviet and Yuri transports have heavy armor and crush infantry, sandbags, fences, etc. and Allied transport has light armor.
Other than that they're completely identical.
0:43 Nope. Each unit has its own Weight= set; this controls how much it "jumps side-ways"/rocks when infected by a parasite like the Terror Drone and controls whether or not the unit sinks when destroyed above water.
In rules.ini and rulesmd.ini there's the "ShipSinkingWeight=" tag. Any unit with a Weight= higher or equal to this number will sink instead of exploding. Transports, Robot Tanks, Sea Scorpions have a weight set lower than the ShipSinkingWeight, so they explode and don't sink.
Death by Squid seems to force units on water to sink...
1:29 exploit due to oversight and the game's lack of common-sense :P
Realistically, you can't fit 5 people in a 3-people-large box, can you?
1:56 the way the bombardment ships, V3s, Destroyers when attacking subs and Boomer subs when attacking ground work is by spawning their AircraftType on the "ground" (in Westwood's games water is actually just ground with special rules); they don't use actual projectiles like all the other units (which are immune to all damage but can't pass active Firestorm wall-sections), they use Aircraft to make damage (either as Fighters like the Harrier or as Suicide=yes units like Demo Trucks).
While on the ground they can be hit with anti-ground weapons (and radiation), once they launch they can only be attacked by anti-air weapons. That's the reason they're getting destroyed here.
In a similar manner, Harriers and Black Eagles docked to an Air Force Command HQ (or "ACHQ") can also be attacked by anti-ground units and harmed with radiation.
For Aircraft Carrier's Hornets and Destroyer's Ospreys the time interval is really small (they immediately go up), but Boomer's Cruise Missiles, V3's V3 Rocket and Dreadnought's Dread Missiles are coded to adjust themselves to a specific angle and height (both customizable in code) before actually taking off. Depending on the settings under [General] in the rules INI, this might be done in a few frames and much less than a second or delayed to the point they become completely useless.
3:12 Flak weapons are coded to have their projectile be Inaccurate and to FlakScatter. The greater the distance the greater the scatter and inaccuracy.
4:00 Squid are parasites in-game much like the Terror Drone; those allow units to fire when infected too. Makes me wonder if Terror Drones could be promoted by destroying allied units like in 4:20 if the Drone were allowed to be promoted in the first place...
5:10 Aegis Cruiser has DistributedFire=yes. It will fire its weapon once, find another target, then fire once, repeat. Waypoint mode can be used instead of manual commands every time.
According to the code and comments, this tag was supposed to make a unit/garrisoned building attack all targets in-range evenly. As you can see, this doesn't work on singular units, and probably doesn't work on garrisons either, as the tag was scrapped for them.
5:55 fun fact: the Dolphin's weapon is the same weapon as the Disruptor's from Tiberian Sun: both are IsSonic weapons.
6:57 Dolphin's weapon was designed to eject the parasitic Squid from ships, logically parasitic Terror Drones are ejected from tanks, ships and transports. I wonder what happens to the Drone if ejected from a transport while over water...
Overall, nice video! Very informative!
OMG... COMRADE!!! DOLPHINS!!!!
Dolphins really are OP. You just surround a group of subs and attack the middle one. You can take them out even if they outnumber you 3:2.
Typhoon Subs and Boomer Subs: We want to destroy a shipyard, the healthiest structure in the game as fast as possible
One sonic boi: Watch, and learn from me
I have a question you might be interested testing it ..
.
.
.
.
When using chrono legionnaire on an oil derrick just for 1 second then stop it, it will stop pumping cash. Dose the same concept apply on the repair workshop and hospital? will they stop repairing and healing damaged units?
The ProduceCash-problem is fixed with Ares: ares-developers.github.io/Ares-docs/bugfixes/type2/producecash.html
Interesting bit about the Hospitals Machine Shops, will test later.
6:38 Actually, you don't have to do that, move it as close to the target as possible, and you get the same result
6:24 Same, attack at close range to deal high damage, no need to target far distant it specifically
And an elite aegis cruiser is basically a missile gattling cannon when manually targetted. Edit: Btw have you featured that when deployed, you can force fire desolators on the ground to make them irradiate more faster?
There's Spirit of The Law for Age Of Empires and Tg for Red Alert. It is a good 👌 world.
5:05 Aegis Cruiser attacks faster if you manually target the enemies? Wow did not know that.
Challenge: TG can you test which one is stronger? A) Elite Aegis Cruiser with Firepower upgrade and Chaos Droned against Kirov B) Elite Aegis Cruiser with Firepower upgrade and manually targeting Kirov
(also try scenario A while also trying to target manually)
every time you thing you know all : Red alert 2 is so much more awesome xD
Alright, that dolphin stuff was some bullshit
tg
The only information I didn't know that all about elite giant squids and the last thing about dolphins with terror drone and the information about desolators.
I think the Boomer's immunity to Giant Squids is for balance reasons, otherwise they would have no naval counter to them.
(Logically the Giant Squid should be Yuri's unit, since they're specifically mentioned to be mind controlled in RA2's Allied 11 mission "Fallout", but that would leave too much of a hole in the Soviet arsenal as well as having too much overlap with the Boomer)
tg's outros are the best
Yeah, Dolphin is a glass cannon.
That OP desolator O.o
Dolphins are super special :)
Great video
Dolphins are on point
terror drone:I so scared
Question:
What happens if you queue up targets with the aegis cruiser?
it attacks at full power on all targeted enemies
Your videos are very impressive.
Please find a way to do the mental omega mod and its statistics
That would be a painful thing to do. xD
Plus, when MO will be updated most of the info will be outdated.
Mental omega is updating, removing, balancing to much. But you can probaly post them as game versions.
1:34 sadly in the 3rd game It does.
