I remember that mission, I always found and destroyed the naval yard, then kept a sub in it's place while unloading tank troops on the beach behind their base, since they couldn't put the naval yard where my sub was, and they wouldn't place it anywhere else, it made the mission much easier
It's odd the the victory conditions for this map don't include destroying all the civilian buildings and their allied units, given that the text briefing explicitly says you must do so.
Awesome tactics and execution. Tried the same, but was to slow, so a bunker already was built inside enemy base. But I was successful in my second try. Unfortunately, you cannot do the same speedrun tactics on 8a, because enemy base is already established there from the beginning. Love to see a speedrun/walkthrough for that, too.
Unfortunately stealing the construction yard isn't often very useful because on most maps the enemy bases are already established, so I was happy to find a use for it in this one :)
Haha I clicked on the video, watched the intro, then paused and looked for "stu soviet 8 speedrun" just to end up on the SAME video. I simply thought the lack of 'speedrun' in the title meant I wasn't watching stu. Nope, I was actually on the right video haha
Tried 8a 10 times already and 10 out of 10 I got defeated by having no way to get more money. The map layout of ore and such heavily favours players with rush tactic and good tank control, something I currently don’t have. 8b on the other hand is like a cakewalk in comparison: more money, easier map control and enemy attack is a bit more manageable (Tesla coil kekw). I just start to lose hope of ever getting all bonus galleries unlocked. :(
Yeah the layout on 8a is a little bit unfair. You could always get more money by waiting until the ore on your island grows, but I guess you don't have enough money to defend if you do that.
This is too easy, even on 'hard'' compared to the openra version of this mission. The allied base defenses, destroyers and unit waves are non existent here.
The enemy base is so small because I capture the CY before they can build most of the structures, and I finish the mission before the destroyers arrive. I defeat the first enemy wave, and for the second wave I intercept the enemy transport ship so it doesn't unload. :)
That's all very impressive, but a building huge line of Tesla Coils into the enemy base is more majestic :)
2:44 he dropps one of his medals :)
lmao
That's why Stalin didn't want him to go. He had managed to inadvertently demote himself. He no longer had the clearance to go on such a mission :D
I assume Stalin did not know about hidden camera in his bedroom...but I wonder if Nadia knew...
She’s NKVD (and a member of the Brotherhood of Nod). Of course she knows.
She probably had it installed in the first place. Kane wanted it for ...science.
@@MinscS2 Technology of Peace...truly!
Fun fact: You can't do this strat with the other Mission 8 because the Allies already have their base set up.
That was a thing of beauty to watch. Perfect execution.

Could You for once make a bad play so we can confirm that You are human?
You know you're witnessing a master at work when the opening cinematic takes almost as long as the mission itself.

Since the game came out, I always wondered whether Gredenko may not be 100% supportive of Stalin to various degrees...
Stalins room is straight out of the sims!
