As usual Zod your our life saver, some of these missions I could'nt have done them without your guidance! A couple of things I also did for those struggling, I took the boat out with the bikes, tanks etc, as they can reach it, Just stay on the tib field though, so not to engage the grenadiers and humvee. I got the boat down to the last few red bits, and finished it off with a leftover rocket guy at the base, I moved him right up to the top by the oilfields and managed to get in two shots and knocked him out, saves waiting for the boat when moving your orca up to the village. Also i had a flamethrower next to the orca pad on the left of it a bit, as a stray machinegunner sometimes starts to attack the pad. And guys its just sheer luck taking out the bazooka guy, you just have to keep loading until you get him. Anyways "Keep 'em comin!"
Quite easy: 1.) Tank with the right unit. The Tanks can take quite the nades. Pull single units with the Nod-Mots. The AI often stays focused on them. Use them to kite. 2.) Capture the Refinery when the Collector is docked - then it's your collector as well. 3.) Kill the rocketship with M1A1s you can build afterwards 4.) As in all mission - first explore, then fight 5.) In the right part move the rocketers left to wait for the tank. Move the tank down the middle to lure in the infantry but use the flamers to gun them. Move the gunners right to scout but be aware of the naders. 6.) Somehow you can only capture the helipad when the engieer is directly under the building 7.) The bridge is a good blocker with a tank 8.) use alt+leftclick to drive over infantry with tanks
Watch out, if you lose the helipad or/and the orca, it's impossibe to complete the mission. You can't rebuild the helipad or the orca, even if you captured the GDI contruction yard. One last thing, the rocket soldier can easily destroy your orca, focus on him first.
I thought I would never destroy the rocket soldier, so I tried to play hide and seek with him... This was my mistake! Thanks. I will go straight at him next time.
typical old school game design, as if capturing the Orca wasn't enough they decide to put a jackass with a rocket launcher to soft lock you when he destroys the Orca
I did this in the same way! Lost all forces except the tank and engineers on first assault of southern base. Used the crippled tank to shoot the fence. Same result...
Man, I really don't miss how old rts use to be. It's just a puzzle of rinse and repeat until you figure it out. I much prefer newer randomly generated unit pathing nowadays.
When I play, the infantry standing there always start attacking my 'base' at some point (the helipad), while I'm attacking the village. How come that doesn't happen on all the videos I see? What triggers it? I had to kill every single person to complete this mission.
Strange, I broke the fence on the right to avoid triggering units from the base. Maybe your units attacked something from the GDI while your eyes were elsewhere ?
They can trigger if the power plant or helipad get damaged before the capture, so if RNGEESUS keeps punishing you by causing splash damage, try to pull the grenaders and kill them before sending the engineers. Or maybe just blow out the upper fence, capture the power plant, sell it, and avoid/kill any pulled granaders from the spawned soldiers. Whatever happens, just don't let the buildings take damage before capturing them.
@@THEZOD Amen to that. ^^ I just replayed the Remaster and the NOD campaign was infuriating to me because of it. Particularly due to a lot of mission having fixed troops liked this one with no basebuilding (or only after struggling trough an uphill battle to recapture a base)
I did beat all TD missions on hard difficulty, took me over 200 hours to do so. I never save/load in my videos, they are all one shot. Also, I used the sandbag exploit at 2 differents occasions, NOD 7B (you can't build towers to defend your base) and GDI 8B (this mission is broken, civilians are running through the tiberium fields and die, giving you a mission failure). It's hard but possible, you need to plan things up, you can't play randomly.
@@THEZOD Thanks for sharing. Tried on hard but you need to have perfect micro skill to succeed and of course know the weaknesses/limitations of AI. Now I'm playing on normal which doesn't frustrate me at all but it gets (too) easy on some missions. One more question. I noticed the AI sometimes blocks own units to pass. Especially their harvester(s) can't get back in the base and it stays that way until I attack which means I can farm peacefully to destroy them easily. This happened to you even on hard difficulty?
@@itrogo Never heard that before, the AI will harvest tiberium ASAP to sustain their massive unit production. When you attack the enemy harvester, this will trigger a massive counterattack from the AI, which is usually a ''game over'' for you. And yes, micro is crucial if you wanna beat the hard difficulty, especially for missions like NOD 8B, NOD 11A, NOD 13C and a lot more.
@@THEZOD nod 6C is extract the generator..you dont build a base you just steal a crate and run a bike to a flare, how would you need to sandbag scum there? or you talking about a different mission
No ship in the river? Between the rocket soldier and the ship, I lose the orca lol (Hard) You couldn’t have been playing on Hard, the Orca barely does any damage to infantry and that rocket soldier is deadly (plus the ship? Good luck lol)
At this point, you are trolling hard. Your comment on NOD 8B is 100% wrong and I got airstriked countless times. By the way, it is obvious that I'm playing on hard considering the amount of damage my units take. I played this mission dozen of times (because my orca got destroyed everytime by the rocket soldier) to come up with this video.

Everytime I hear "my" troops getting attacked, I want to scroll to them. But then I remember I'm just watching a video. 😂

Element of luck with killing the rocket trooper, too. Orca rockets can miss him a lot, if that happens, he wins and it's a reload.

Your micros need to be on point for this one, a simple mistake can lure a big amount of grenadiers.

Back in 95', the mechanics were so limited compare to now. Still a cult classic tho, it paved the way for many games in the RTS genre.

The pathfinding makes this mission about as fun as stomach cancer.
In fact, the pathfinding makes every mission a lot harder 🤣
@@THEZOD Amen to that. ^^

This mission is absolutely ridiculous
Huhuhu...
This is the hardest...
Did you beat all TD missions on hard? Seems to me impossible unless you use save scumming and stop the AI with sandbags exploit.

@@seigebrisbane8978 You are right, I fixed it, it is indeed Nod 7B.
Ich hau mich weg .geil gemacht das Level 🎉
This mission really sucks. Why they didn't let you build helipads is beyond me.
I agree, if the orca is destroyed, the game is pretty much over.
Hey guys, you can use your engineers for capturing another building and then you can produce units and get credit. Its not so hard.
80% of the mission is stupid refuelings
And pure RNG since the rocket guy can blow up your Orca at least 50% of the time.
you can always play fast game speed ! then refuel take 1 sec
this is probably the worst mission in the whole game. I don't see the point of making such a mission.
Wait for 8B haha
And 11b was no better. It is like a puzzle.
Jesus.... the unit pathing is horrible.... I recall back then even DOS version of Red Alert had better unit pathing than this.

What a stupid mission this is
