Hover tech has another advantage : it can move on tiberium crystals that might otherwise render such movements impossible to tracked vehicles or damage tracks.

Watching any jethild video really makes me wish for a new Command and Conquer game. A good game that isn't messed up by EA.

your videos got me into playing command and conquer again

I hope next video will be on walkers or space craft. Ps:Your videos makes playing C&C tiberium univers games a lot more fun.

I would be awesome to see a video about the infantry.

Two ways to make your tanks more awesome: 1: Add legs 2: Make them hover

Who thumbs-downed this? A jealous Nod commander?

Watching your videos feels like watching a very well done "based on true stories" documentary from the CnC universe.

Hover tech also provides ability to move through tiberium without risking tiberium corrosion. Vehicles are not immune to tiberium after all. They are just resistant. As for those openings, those look like air intakes. Turbofans need to suck in air and compress it to create thrust. You see air scoops like these on fighter jets.

I'm not so sure they did work out the recoil. The weapons they deploy on hover chassis all have significantly less recoil than a tank cannon - an MLRS and the sonic cannon ont the Shatterer recoil very little if at all, and the Slingshots' autocannons can only shoot up (so cause less horizontal movement) and are still significantly less powerful than a proper tank gun.

A-floating we will go, a-floating we will go.....hey ho, hey ho...a-floating we will go..!

Bro your videos are awesome very technical and very understanding most importantly you stick to the lore and I appreciate that

Hover vehicle is also used to bypass tiberium fields to avoid tiberium contamination. Also big thanx for your videos.

There is a good chance that the TibSun HoverTech works using turbine engines, with thrust being redirected downwards to provide lift. This would explain the large nozzles on the sides of the Hover MLRS. These suck air for a pair of larger turbines to provide thrust. This is why I'm assuming the normal movement of a Hover MLRS would be due to titlting (similar to a helicopter). This is not particularly effective because you won't be moving that quickly. That's where the smaller nozzles come in. Now that the vehicle itself is floating off the ground, it will not be affected by ground resistance. Hence, smaller turbine engines can be used for propulsion. This also helps explain why they can go so fast, being able to suck more air the faster they go, improving the fuel-air ratio inside the smaller engines to give it greater speed the faster it goes. Turbine engines are already in use in ground vehicles today (see russian and ukranian T-80U and american M1 Abrams) but i dont think an actual jet engine were ever used for propulsion. but i don't think it's in the realm of impossibility

In Twisted Insurrection, Nod has a hover flame tank called the Inferno.

Ideas for next video: Stealth technology, GDI railgun technology, Nod burrowing technology, drone technology, Nod cyborgs, GDI power armor, space faring craft, EMP technology, Scrin technology, maybe Forgotten.

HoverTech, so gimmicky not even The Brotherhood uses it

Another masterpiece Constructive commentary And very very good content

I find it amusing that the Idea for the Hover MLRS being a highly mobile platform with having the same Rocket Launch systems as the M270 is a thing in real life in the form of the HIMARS, Just with wheels instead of hover. And like its fictional hovering counterpart, the HIMARS has been pretty good at the "shoot and scoot" tactic that utilizes its high mobility to avoid counter-battery fire.

Almost at 10k subs, great job on the series!

GDI: "I have the hoverground." -Space alien heroin addicts- Scrin: "No."

same as alyways. great vide oof high quality :) i replayed C&C tiberium wars recently... gave me a lot of chills

This is a fun series you got going on here

I cant wait to play with these in RenX Firestorm

i can't wait, to the Mammoth Mk. II video en walkers

This, brings back a lot of great memories! ❤️

Please do a video on ion storms, would love to learn the lore behind this weird relation between hover tech and ion storms.

The scrin craft clearly use the power of purple to defy gravity, pity GDI went with gold as it can not nulify physics.

Great to see a new video so soon after the last one.

I swear those crews really want to assert dominance 4:21.

Your videos are awesome

this channel is a gold mine for lore fans , i love it !

Good video, thumbs up. ONE VISION, ONE PURPOSE!!!!!! PEACE THROUGH POWER!!!!!!

Well researched, well presented - well done! Awesome video.

After the changes to Tiberium this is my second biggest gripe with C&C3+ lore. In Tiberian Sun there were almost no ships anymore due to tiberium floating on the surface. This would attach to hulls and heavily increase maintenance and the hazard of that maintenance. Walkers and hover tech was invented with similar ideas in mind. Tiberium got easily stuck between tracks, eating away at the tracks and suspension. Not to mention the tiberium crystal shards and dust particles thrown on top of the vehicle when passing through tiberium fields. Walkers and hover tech were perfect for avoiding that. Why did NOD still employ tracks? Because NOD did not have the technology and relied heavily on what the 3rd world nations it ruled could build. Then C&C3 comes along and says "nope it was too expensive for reasons. We'll randomly use it for two other vehicles anyway, one of which uses it for the exact purpose of the previous war".

Love the video you forgot about the scrin construction yard

Love your vids! This is no exception. Pretty much how I get my cnc lore.

Great stuff man

The Ordos Laser Tank in Emperor Battle for Dune is the most bad ass hover vehicle I have seen

And award of best lore content creater goes to Jethild

I love your videos jethild keep up the great work

Another advantage of hover vehicles: they can strafe, which in combat improves their evasion capabilities

Yes lore gimme more!

I really really like these videos, I think you do a great job and I really like watching them, I rewatch them all the time. I hope you keep making them cause I really like them.

Great work

love these vids, keep up the good work :)

Fun to watch. Thank you for your effort!

Love producing massive slingshots to not only shoot down enemies' air powers but also crush over NOD infantries for fun, especially backhand and Tiberium troopers.

Down With GDI!

While not a GDI lover, i was kinda sad with GDI vehicle rooster in CaC 3, in second, we got few interesting things and with third, we didnt really get that much, except mamoths with railguns. Sure HoverTech has its problems, but with enough research and smart use of tiberium as a power source, i think it could provide great tactical advantage, especially against Nods "hit and run" fighting styles. Peace through power

The openings at 4:22 on the hover MLRS are likely air intakes for jet engines, based on the positioning and size I could assume the hover MLRS makes use for 4 jet engines, 2 of them are likely the main lift engines requiring the huge intake on the front (and equally huge engines) and the other 2 are likely for the propulsion jets since you need a fraction of the amount of force keeping it in the air to move it. The two pod things on the side of the MLRS are likely the engine housings, I would imagine the internals to look similar to a jet such as a MIG-31, but with two engines stacked ontop of each other. Edit: as to the reason why they shut down during an ion storm its possible it could be due to a sharp decrease in air quality or sharp decrease of combustible gasses in the air (such as O2) that starves the engines and causes a stall

You can never have too much hovercraft.

Again another genius content by this mastermind you keep amazing me every time...

would have been awesome to see more enviropemental map stuff like ion storms in c&c 3, i mean, the game was cool, but the maps were too repetitive and bland in comparison to what ehey could have been

4:30 Actually, I think they're thrusters that allow the hover MLRS to go BACKWARDS instead of having to turn around like a tracked/wheeled vehicle would.

Stealth tech next? Please?

It’s probably because of the need to put more thrusters on the compensate for recoil that most hover vehicles in the games have light recoil weapons. An MLRS can vent the exhaust of the missiles out the back, a quad 50 has limited recoil, and Sonic hover tanks have visible recoil but it seems minimal compared to the power of the weapon.

I think scrin hover is magnetic. It uses powerful magnetic repulsers that go against the magnetic field of a planet. This creates lift without needing large noisy engines.

GDI can't use the Scrin hover Tec as there will be reliant on Tiberium that GDI don't want to use especially if they want to eradicate it. So I'm not entirely sure it will be much use to GDI not as NOD uses Tiberium for many things it would be interesting to see them use all the Tec they stole in the 3rd war, hopefully that won't be ignored.

A simple way to deal with recoil is to put a engine on the back of the turret and have it fire when the tank fires.

Now that I think of it, I don't think Jethild has ever referenced THAT cnc game, and that makes me incredibly happy

I just love how you completely discount the sequel, ignoring it entirely (this is not sarcasm)!

the holes on the vehicle and in front are air intakes, for the hover engines, in a word Air scoops, this makes lot of sense because the engines it used to hover needed air feeded to the system like real life tech jet propulsion works

Nice... another nice video... ✅✅✅✅✅

Anyone remember an old Halo PC mod where you'd drive hover tanks around an icy race track? All while Prodigy's Firestarter was blaring?

Its interesting that GDI are the faction to develop Hover tech, considering NOD are the faction known for high speed strike and fade attacks.

Also can you do either GDI walkers or Power Armor?

Your Editing is fucking great

Are there any plans to do a video on the Kodiak and other suborbital platforms from GDI? For some reason those were always my favourite aside from the MMK2

The best videogame series i ever played tiberian sun is my favorite like gdi hovertanks great atmosphere and soundtrack 😎😎😎👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

I want this tech to become a reality one day .

Rember there are no brakes on the hover tank

The funniest thing about the sonic-tech is: it was developed to destroy tiberium, but in game tiberium is unaffected by it. PS: Scrin MCVs also hover.

It would be so cool if we got another true installment of C&C where GDI reverse engineers scrin tech.

The lower intakes are probably for hover ware the upper intakes are most likely for thrust.

The slingshot despite reminding me of the salamander from Antaeus rising, I think a dedicated AA unit is great, though I wonder if hover units in the game could do something special that non hover units can't do.

TibSun GDI had the best vehicles, Titans, Disruptors and Hover MLRSs

Would you tackle Red Alert and Generals Weapons

I wish that they had more realistic hover vehicles. Some more realistic hover vehicles would be hover APCs and hover scout vehicles. This is because both of these vehicles would not have to be very heavy and the weapons mounted on such vehicles would not have much recoil. The advantages of hovers would be very good for these roles because they could traverse any environment and do so at an impressive speed.

3 more years until hovertech baybeeeeee!

Walkers next please the TITAN is the BEST UNIT IN GDI ARSENAL

methinks hoover tec minimizes the risk of tiberium contamination on a vehicle potentially?

Wait a minute 5:18 NEGATING the High Ground Advantage. Obi Wan: I have the high ground Anakin! Anakin: I have Hover Technology! Obi Wan: Impossible.

I think you need to see Twisted inssurence. This is mod for tiberium sun. Lore there is different, but more intresting.

Anyone know where I can get tiberian sun these days?

Gotta love hovering things. Do you agree with no strings prd’s conclusion that Tiberium dawn takes place in 2019? Wouldn’t that mean the slingshot was finished in 2034?

Has any answer been given as to how the GDI Kodiak is capable of flying, hovering and even functioning in space? Because I can't think of anything else other than anti-gravity tech.

I'm pretty sure Hover MRLS would float on water. as a matter of fact i think they do.

Will they ever make a new cnc tiberian sun equivalent? 🥺

So.... What Banshee's flying technology would have called?

Hover rises! No one cared who i was till I put om the fan - hover mlrs

2024 huh? Just 3 more years!

Did you have a cold when you recorded this?

Instead of putting more thrusters to counter recoil Why don't you just use a recoilless weapon like the Carl Gustav?

Shame the Tiberium setting ignore naval combat and only Red Alert really had seaborne units.

6:30 those move like tanks., they dont slide around. such a bs

Irks me that the GDI and even Nod lost some mainline access to these things in Tiberium Wars, even if the corrupt cheapskates excuse for the former is admittedly a sensible reason.

Guided MISSILE*

one of the vehicles that just disappeared in later games...... what a damn shame!, it was great! i was soooo disapointed by the vehicle selection of "wars 3" after Tiberium Sun!.... they dropped sooo many nice ideas -.- Slingshot was just dumb (and rarely build).... why go backward & make a multirole missile platform into an pure AA vehicle?! never made sense to me!

You forgot that during the second tib war tiberium veinhole monsters attacked any ground vehicles that passed over them except hover ones and Nod veinhole harvesters.
