4:53 This is literally the first thing they showed at the start of the Soviet campaign where Bullfrog saved Natasha Check out my new game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2503550/Operation_Octo/ (DEMO also available in Arabic and Turkish)
Meanwhile me I just constantly force attack hammers on newly made bullfrogs and making said bullfrogs drive into the grinders of the construction crane to easily give the hammer tanks the flak cannon. Its one way to effectively give the allies a giant headache even though hammers are very slow they can still fire the flak cannon on the move and have very high HPs
Thanks! I was really proud of the entire sequence at 3:58 and how well the music matched the sound effects & sequence of events. I usually don't put too much intentionality into this kind of matching, but when a music naturally matches things as if predestined, I know it's the right music 😄
Good lord whenever you publish a new unit guide I learn like 30 new things and shit bricks at the same time! Using the launch emblem to scope for buildings in fog of war is insane, launching units past capacity and toggling unit abilities post parachute for the very frame that they land is insane, I didn't realize bullfrog was just insane😭
Bullfrog greatness aside, I had not realized the VX splash damage was so good, its slow speed tends to frustrate me, so this knowledge brings it back into favor to me. VX has its limitations, but it truly is trying its best.
I never knew either until I saw the numbers in the codes and tried out bullfrog's splash. VX has same splash as IFV, but maybe their rockets spread more and hence did more splash?
A missing keypoint on Bullfrog's perk is that it can be produced simultaneously on both Soviet War Factory and Soviet Naval Yard, whilst also amphibious. Meaning comparing to other two faction, Soviet T1 AA Vehicle have the highest production rate, and can be switched from AA ground unit duty to AA naval unit duty and vice versa.
1:24 Too many people are interpreting this video as trashing on Bullfrog. For the record, I immediately said at 1:24 that despite their inferior stats, Bullfrog is the best AA. From that point on the video is only covering positives. All the reasons why Bullfrogs are awesome: • High damage output matters *way* more than hp against fast & maneuverable air units (Your window of opportunity to fire at them is minimal, and having a bit more damage could change whether they escape w/ 1 HP or die) • Instantaneous damage so that multiple Bullfrogs don't waste ammo on the same target that's already about to die • Ability to move & fire in all directions, granting great micro potential for kiting & chasing (without micro, Bullfrogs would indeed appear to be very weak; The micros allow Bullfrogs to get soooo many more shots off than other AA could, and often result in large number of AA being straight-up unable to approach near Bullfrogs - see 0:00 and 5:12) • Amphibious • Decent speed (not extraordinary, but good enough) • Having the additional ability to teleport any number of infantries by a massive distance to any spot(s), with the drawback being they'd be vulnerable to AA for 5 seconds, is yet another bonus
You have to admit losing to a twinblade seems pretty awful and personally I feel like they should be bulkier if they are dedicated anti air costing MORE than IFV
The key reason is because it has Flak damage which deliver the damage almost instantly and guaranteedly unlike Rocket damage which has travel time and will be outrun if enemies are too fast or using their speed boost early this mean only Bullfrogs and Flak defence are able to take down Artemis Bombers in such mod like Epic War.
rockets can't really be outrun, since they'll chase you all the way to your base once they've been fired. The issue with rockets for AA is the delay before damage is actually dealt, and that multiple units could waste lots of rockets on an aircraft that is already about to die
I never thought about Bullfrog can attack while moving at the same time, even though I'm using them to against units like Harbinger Gunship and Giga Fortress all the time. Star leveled bullfrogs are indeed scary....
Here is a fact about þe bullfrog, which is epic: If 5 Bullfrogs target an aircraft protected by assault destroyer's black hole armor, it takes þem less þan 2 seconds to disintegrate þe AD.
(Silly scenario where the Bullfrog got bribed by a Spy) Tesla Trooper 1: Wait, did Sergei (the Bullfrog driver) just ... he didn't! Tesla Trooper 2: Let's get him! Natasha: Everyone out, now! Bear: MRRROOO!!! Tesla Trooper 3: And take that Spy out for good measure!

The endless man cannon was not something that I ever thought of. I usually build fleets of bullfrogs fill them with Engineers before flooding a base with them to capture usually everything in one go.
I think that Bullfrog would instantly jump to the top tier AA vehicle should any faction in this game field point defense laser or missile flare on their aircraft like the USA did in C&C Generals where it's the Quad Cannon, Gatling, and Avenger who's the top tier AA vehicle because their hitscan attacks bypass those defenses. For those who's not know, in C&C Generals, USA aircraft can be upgraded with missile flare which flat out made half of the rockets aiming at them miss, resulting in the need to invest a disproportionate amount in defense against them if your faction has only missile-based AA... like the USA themselves. (USA does have non-missile based AA, but the Avenger cost almost half the price of a Superweapon, so no one can afford to spam them and thus rarely counts.) And then there's USA Air Force General who augments the above "50% of missiles fired at USA aircraft will miss." with rapid-fire Point Defense Lasers on top of that. Which, if we go by RA3 analogy, you'd need like a dozen of IFVs firing missiles simultaneously at a single USAF General plane to have a chance at damaging them. If they flies in group of two or more so their point defenses cover one another, then you might as well forgo your missile-based AA entirely as it will never shoot anything down.

Always thought Bullfrog is the weakest AA. Micro really went hard with this one, especially against those foul Vindies.

1:24 Bullfrog is the absolute best AA already. Please don't only see the inferior stats
Soviet power supreme
Hey, they are a shipping company that sells one way tickets to getting your MCV jacked, not a company that makes big tanks
Just like training video!
For some reason Bullfrog is called Goliath in Russian RA3, maybe tributing to Starcraft Broodwar anti-air unit Goliath
Или потому что лягушка-бык и лягушка-голиаф - названия видов очень крупных лягушек.
I am starting to think if VX would be able to kite like the bullfrog than playing Empire could be far less painful against air spam.
How strong would the Bullfrog be if it CAN attack both ground and air, like the IFV?
In allied nations, you shoot out from multigunner taxi. In soviet russia, taxi shoots out you.
What about mirage tank
Hey I didn't know you can keep shooting infantry out f you keep loading them while the sequence happens. :D
What if a loaded bullfrog is bribed on water?
units would become stuck in water like when riptide is sniped by natasha I guess
drop everything new xyhc unit guide video just released
(no joke i literally jumped when i saw this lmao)

Arent Soviet supposed to be the AA AoE factions cmon
I find it hard to believe that Flak have less splash than missile
