well, since he's showing bugs that never got fixed... it's partially true. But they intentionally programmed the engineer to be able to difuse ivan bombs.
did u know that? if terror drone attacks your basic tanks, you can put them into tank bunker. they didnt take damage and, it looks like they're dancing xD
So what we've learned is that the apocalypse tank is more powerful than a nuke when dropped from the sky. FYI: The tank bunker also increases the range of the unit .
I believe that this was even in his video about Tesla Towers. I was confused that he hasn't point it out here worry the rest. I though that I made it up then.
2 Tesla Troops can make Tesla Tower running without power but it deal normal damage while 3 Tesla Trooper can deal buffed damage and range to the enemies without power
Anyone know how the range of a Tesla Tower with base power and buffed with 2 Tesla Troops compares to the range of a Tesla Tower with no base power buffed with 3 Tesla Troopers?
The Basic rule for Tesla Coils is this. Neutral deals the base damage. 1 Tesla Trooper improves the offense. 2 Tesla Troopers can charge it if the power is down. 3 Tesla Troopers will charge it even if the power is off, and increase the damage.
1:02 Why the heck an elite Flak Trooper worse than regular one? Makes no sense Do they also have reduced damage the further away they are from the target like Flak Tracks?
Count Cobalt Allied AA actually does splash damage. The area is so small that it only works when units are on top of each other. Gatlings are actually single target tho
4:10 In real life, we called it: Infantry pinned down because they were taking Suppressing fire 5:38 Well that was nice strategy for countering Yuri Chaos Drone
Tbh though, I still like RA1 Tesla Coil. Long range, short charge time, and insane damage. Yes, it uses a lot of power, but that’s what a Tesla Coil should look like, not those miniature form in RA2 or in RA3. RA3’s Tesla Coil takes FOREVER to recharge and attack.
The Engineer being able to defuse Ivan bombs I think was even explained in the Soviet level he was introduced... Although I found out from looking at the Engineer in TibEd and was like "What's this weapon they have?" and quickly drew to the conclusion that yeah, it disarmed Ivan bombs. 1:25 Did not know that one... I assumed all infantry died to the Chronosphere. Does this also apply to the Chrono Ivan and Commando? 2:55 What if you told a Tesla Trooper to force attack on the ground and put a Coil on top of it? 5:30 Huh, interesting. Did not know Apocalypse Tanks did damage on death. 7:20 So would a damaged tank deal less damage to a building on impact compared to an intact one or is it all based on max HP?
An overall great review of tricks and tips there that you have discussed in your previous uploads. And you even introduce some new stuff unfamiliar to us yet. So you can prevent any more Chaos Drone self-destructive actions by pressing S (Stop)? I must remind myself to do this, then... whenever my tanks get under the control of that Chaos Drone. Tesla noob at the end, though 😆 Out of all the Pros, only the Elite Tesla Trooper has that great advantage and benefit from promotion.
Watching tip #1: yeah already know that Watching tip #2 till end: wtf how is this even allowed Seriously though never knew about the elite noobs! Awesome work as always tg 👏
Another awesome video! You know what else would be great? Some kind of showcase of "civilian" units. Red Alert (and Tiberian Sun) are choke-full of neutral units like bus, ships, cars, forklifts, camera dollies ecc. Even a lot of neutral buildings have wonderful design, like that animated Billboard with talking fruits or Burger Kong \\[T]//
Tiberian sun has the one nod mission where you Jack a GDI bass and attack mutants who use all that. They even had a bus with a tank cannon rigged to it. Would love to see a vid about that.
2:58 you can damage your own tesla coil with a tesla trooper by making the trooper force attack empty ground then build a coil on the same tile. 4:35 units that can't prone have "fearless=yes" in rules.ini. being fearless makes you die faster so it's ok to be scared of things lol.
Flak units doing more damage, then he closer to target. Elite Flak have bigger attack distanse, so that why he deal less damage - step him for same distanse and magic disappeared.
Were Yuris transmissions attempts at ASMR videos? The cutscenes with Yuri in the year 2000 look a lot like ASMR videos in 2020. He whispers and everything. "Hello, comrade viewer. This is Yuri, uploading from hidden psychic broadcast station in glorious Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Today in this video I will be attempting to control your mind."
Damn. I have several hundred hours in this game, and when it recommended this video to me I kinda scoffed. But watched because TH-cam rabbit hole. Ya turns out I didn't know a lot of this. 10/10
I'm working on my own mod for YR, and while working on a new weapon that's similar to the tesla trooper, remembered this video. I went to check, and it turns out that the reason why basic legionnaires can fire over walls but elites can't can be traced back to how the elite promotion gives units an entirely new weapon. At some point, the Westwood devs changed the stats for the base weapon to have the capacity to fire over walls (a change to the projectile)--but they forgot to make the same change to the elite version, so it is stuck not being able to. just something neat
Usually did you know videos are stupid and say things everyone knows, but damn dude. Good to know I’ve been wasting time putting 4 units on a Tesla coil for 20 years.
Hahaha Green units to elite: noob Tesla trooper: wait what? Basic Tesla Trooper: Ah I got carried away by other elite noobs. Also Basic Tesla trooper: *But you're still noob too 😂😂 Savage af. 😂
if a flying disc is taking power from a power plant and you iron curtain the power plant the flying disc will still steal the power, learned this the hard way....
Soviet recruiter: Hey Boris? Wanna join our army? Boris: Sure, what would you have me do? SR: Oh, just stand over there and get executed by a conscript. B: For mother Russia!
2:50 "There is no way to damage your own tesla coil with a tesla trooper" could ordering the trooper to attack the ground, and then placing a tesla coil where he's attacking allow it to damage the coil?
The Elite Flak damage is a bug. No level should do 20 damage and level 3 should do 18*2 damage(level 3 shot 2 rounds per time). However seems like the programmer miss ‘1’ in front of 8. So instead of doing 18*2, level 3 flak doing 8*2 damage which make this unit become one of the most unless units in the game.
2:01 Small-a allied lol. 2:59 I think the devs gave Tesla Troopers such a short range because they wanted them to be mainly support units that can charge Tesla coils. After everyone rolls out their Battle Labs and pumps advanced units out, these guys don't have any use as direct attackers, so if they had better range, they'd still suck against tech units and become worse at charging coils because they'd get distracted more easily by enemies. 4:22 And some weapons can have a different prone damage modifier. I think it simulates accuracy. Conventional ballistic weapons can miss or be dodged, so infantry can make themselves smaller and avoid hits more easily by going prone. Energy weapons (Tesla, Prism, UFO/cosmonaut lasers) are highly accurate and hit instantly, so they aren't affected by stance. 6:38 What? Pretty sure they can be destroyed. Or are they only invulnerable when the gas cloud is active? 7:10 I thought it depended on the vehicle's weight (both Apocs and Prisms are equally heavy), but that's why dropping miners on buildings is a popular tactic, I guess. 8:04 IKR, this thing gets spammed a lot in small map games with crates. Especially Gatlings inside offer great AA, and Prisms allow excellent map control with just as much range as Magnetrons and Siege Choppers. Together they make an awesome defense. They consume no power, so even when you have to use a force shield they still keep working.
7:30 Deployed MCV:Nothing can destroy me with one hit! Magnetron lifting a apocalypse tank:REALLY?! **Drops apocalypse tank on mcv structure** Whoops sorry!
do units maintain their promotion bonuses in tank bunkers on top of bonuses the structure provides or does one overide the other? sorta like how the battle fortress works to keep upgrades.
Awesome works from TG. Even though I know the reason for example why elite chrono legionnaire's attack can't pass through walls. I am really amazed by his testings and tips. This is why I am a big fan. I always wait for video uploads from you. Thanks man!
Flak units doing more damage, then he closer to target. Elite Flak have bigger attack distanse, so that why he deal less damage - step him for same distanse and magic disappeared.

even after decades playing this game, I'm still able to learn something new about it xD Thanks tg
+1
Probably even the developer team doesn't know what you know about this game lol
well, since he's showing bugs that never got fixed... it's partially true. But they intentionally programmed the engineer to be able to difuse ivan bombs.
TG's RA2 videos are like MCU movies, there's always an after credits scene
I've been playing this game for years I never knew you could defuse the bombs with an engineer
Lmao same
Me too. This was same as the Dozers in CNC Generals where tjey can defuse bombs.
Me too. This was same as the Dozers in CNC Generals where tjey can defuse bombs.
Same hahaha
It just shows that the engineer is the most flexible infantry
did u know that? if terror drone attacks your basic tanks, you can put them into tank bunker. they didnt take damage and, it looks like they're dancing xD
Lemme see of it works with any tanks beside the basic tank...
basic tank (like rhino tank ifv etc)
I think that can happen if tanks is about to enter the bunker. Then suddenly Terror Drone enters the tanks. I tried that on Apocalypse then it works
So what we've learned is that the apocalypse tank is more powerful than a nuke when dropped from the sky.
FYI: The tank bunker also increases the range of the unit .
Miners as well can instagib construction yard
a easy way to damage your tesla coil with tesla trooper: force attack the ground, and put a tesla coil there
I like that idea.
5:50 Tesla tank refuses to destroy an ally: "nothing wasted!".
If I remember correctly, while any more than 1 Tesla trooper doesn’t add damage, they do increase the range still up until the third trooper
I believe that this was even in his video about Tesla Towers. I was confused that he hasn't point it out here worry the rest.
I though that I made it up then.
2 Tesla Troops can make Tesla Tower running without power but it deal normal damage while 3 Tesla Trooper can deal buffed damage and range to the enemies without power
Anyone know how the range of a Tesla Tower with base power and buffed with 2 Tesla Troops compares to the range of a Tesla Tower with no base power buffed with 3 Tesla Troopers?

3 Tesla Troopers will charge it even if the power is off, and increase the damage.
Did you know that you can link up to 9 Prism Towers?
:O
:O
:O
:O
:O
1:02 Why the heck an elite Flak Trooper worse than regular one? Makes no sense
Do they also have reduced damage the further away they are from the target like Flak Tracks?
Although it’s less damage, elite flak troopers cover more area, which is better vs groups of enemies
Count Cobalt
Allied AA actually does splash damage. The area is so small that it only works when units are on top of each other.
Gatlings are actually single target tho
According to the rulesmd, its elite weapon deals less damage. But has burst of 2. However its damage is more than twice less than its basic weapon
@@redstonehero7944 Basically swapping a slug for birdshot?
Well, in this vid, the elite flak trooper positioned farther then the normal one.
I think that's the reason it became weaker (less accurate)
4:10 In real life, we called it: Infantry pinned down because they were taking Suppressing fire
5:38 Well that was nice strategy for countering Yuri Chaos Drone

Engineers can diffuse bombs on other units but not on himself. What a sad story...

I have known this game for over 10 years. I just knew that an engineer can defuse Ivan's bomb from this video.
It is actually mentioned in the manual.
@@MetalKing1417 good old years when we opened the manuals before installing! but yea we needed to read the manual to install properly.
2:58 you can damage your own tesla coil with a tesla trooper by making the trooper force attack empty ground then build a coil on the same tile.
4:35 units that can't prone have "fearless=yes" in rules.ini. being fearless makes you die faster so it's ok to be scared of things lol.
As always, you are the perfect guide of this game, these are great tips!
3:31 "ready comrade" so satisfying and perfect timing
Boris is too macho to take a prone position and die as a real man facing the bullet 🤣🤣
hey tg, 0:44 it's actually 'defuse' not 'diffuse'
2 different words :D
Also a lot of people who asked those questions clearly do not watch your videos
Yeah, my bad.
Ending = When an arrogant new player somehow beat u online
Wassup
The elite flak troopers doing less damage blew my mind!
Flak units doing more damage, then he closer to target.
Elite Flak have bigger attack distanse, so that why he deal less damage - step him for same distanse and magic disappeared.
7:55 I didnt know Joseph Joestar was a helicopter pilot for the soviets

In the last version of the game (7.7) you can't promote chronolegionaire
Good
Lmao... that tesla-troll at the ending.
its amazing how this game still active till now !! after decades ! the base game and game mods ! it say how amazing and epic this game was and still !
My god. Still new things to learn about this game.
I have one more important fact that EVERYONE should know!!!
You can't link up 9 Tesla Coils...
Ah so the control attack button sound for Engineers are for defusing bombs. Don't know if it works on Triple Power Mod haven't tried it.
Boris doesn't need to prone (duck down). He takes it like a real man
Usually did you know videos are stupid and say things everyone knows, but damn dude. Good to know I’ve been wasting time putting 4 units on a Tesla coil for 20 years.
RA2 is like GTA SA, we kept playing it and know stuff, but there's always a thing that we never knew of
some of it i alredy know but wow so many small detail in an rts game but it the legend game red alert 2 so im not surprise
Hahaha Green units to elite: noob
Tesla trooper: wait what?
Basic Tesla Trooper: Ah I got carried away by other elite noobs.
Also Basic Tesla trooper: *But you're still noob too 😂😂 Savage af. 😂
if a flying disc is taking power from a power plant and you iron curtain the power plant the flying disc will still steal the power, learned this the hard way....
Some facts: you can only mind control 3 units by psychic tower and you cannot transfer the mind control until one of its control dies.
0:42 I have played Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge for 20 years but I have never known that
When a falling Apocalypse tank does more damage to the Construction Yard than a nuclear missile lol
Reminds me that I'm annoyed how Tank buster works. I mean AI can straight up target the tank inside.
Wish it works as an extra armor.
My ears 5:43
Wow after 20 years, I never knew that engineer can defuse Ivan bomb 😂
The part where one Tesla Trooper charges the coil doesn't work for me. I only get the yellow bolt with two Troopers. idk why.
how is the chaos drone invincible? what?
Yea, I don't remember having any trouble destroying them, even when they're "infecting"
Obviously they are not. The specific one was added through the editor.
@@tg.Sacred More like "all Chaos Drones on this map are immune."
Does the bunker thing also work with Mental Omega?
Yuri is master.
I was aware of how good tank bunkers were, but wasn't aware of the attack speed. That's interesting to know!
Chronosphere also works on chrono ivan and chrono commando
finally i've beat my brother with ur tips
Chad Elite Tesla Trooper vs Virgin Elite Chrono Legionare
Tesla tropper on tesla coil also increases range. At least this is how i remember it.Very effective on french towers.
Have the bugs of the elite units been fixed with the CnC.net updates?
Haven’t checked.
Remember, kids: never do overtime XDDDD
Elite Tesla trooper in BF is more scary than elite GGI
Soviet recruiter: Hey Boris? Wanna join our army?
Boris: Sure, what would you have me do?
SR: Oh, just stand over there and get executed by a conscript.
B: For mother Russia!
What is the map you are playing on . Is it custom or in the vanilla game ???
Oasis of doom. It is an official map.
@@tg.Sacred thx
1:02 misconfigure of paraments in rules.ini and rulesmd.ini
00:51 i know nothing about it
Imagine using a crazy ivan to block an engineer rush xD
Beating the intellectual with insanity.
Do you know that you can group your units by holding alt+ctrl to the center of to units for quick Ic or chrono?
This was techinically my first RTS game.... And to know that Elite units could be noobs... That gave me a laugh of my life lol
2:50 "There is no way to damage your own tesla coil with a tesla trooper"
could ordering the trooper to attack the ground, and then placing a tesla coil where he's attacking allow it to damage the coil?
Haven’t test it but probably it will work
Thanks for this I'll be using this tips now
But I still don't know how to make units attack each other(force attack) can you help me
Hold Ctrl and select a target.
imagine you got promoted because you shot a camel
But how many prism towers can you link?
I didn't even know troopers could charge towers, at least not in RA2. Does it also work with tesla tanks?
Nope!
Next Video:
Test mines in Mental Omega :D
If you put a battle fortress in a tank bunker, will it increase the attack speed and damage of the inhabitants of the battle fortress?
The battle fortress can't be added in the Tank Bunker.
The Elite Flak damage is a bug. No level should do 20 damage and level 3 should do 18*2 damage(level 3 shot 2 rounds per time).
However seems like the programmer miss ‘1’ in front of 8. So instead of doing 18*2, level 3 flak doing 8*2 damage which make this unit become one of the most unless units in the game.
1:19 where they are landed you can't put buildings there, ground became unusable
Please gimme some link i wanna play this game :(
Great video!
I've been boosting Tesla Coils since back in the day, but I didn't know a few of these. Neat stuff!
Chaos drone: Mwahahaha I wreak havoc
Commander: Stop.
Tesla Tank: k.
Hey tg u play red alert 2 online? 😃😃😃
2:01 Small-a allied lol.
2:59 I think the devs gave Tesla Troopers such a short range because they wanted them to be mainly support units that can charge Tesla coils.

lol apocalypse tank and megnatrone
This was a great game from my childhood! No idea how to make it work on a modern PC though, even when downloaded (and paid for!) from Origin :(
“The Chas drone” :v
Improved units remind me of players in online games who have donated, but have no playing skills.
Wow, that's a lot of new things i just know.
Thanks.
do units maintain their promotion bonuses in tank bunkers on top of bonuses the structure provides or does one overide the other? sorta like how the battle fortress works to keep upgrades.
Yes, they do! you can also test the bunkers video!
Still playin this at my old laptop lol
Awesome works from TG. Even though I know the reason for example why elite chrono legionnaire's attack can't pass through walls. I am really amazed by his testings and tips. This is why I am a big fan. I always wait for video uploads from you. Thanks man!
♥️
throwing his own unit at his own construction yard, instantly killing both... now THAT is savage.
Kind of surprised that the GI takes more damage when deployed. 🤦
Also, the elite flak trooper does less damage to aircraft. 🙄
Flak units doing more damage, then he closer to target.
Elite Flak have bigger attack distanse, so that why he deal less damage - step him for same distanse and magic disappeared.
