"Naval units can still perform attacks while wrapped by the giant squid" How noble, they went down fighting

Demn never knew the potential of Dolphin

Did not know dolphins could evac terrors. Who would even think to try that....

I've been using dolphins wrong all this time damn

Enemy in every tg's RA 2 video: Kirov reporting

7:49 Ok 😂 That was unexpectedly hilarious

LMAO, that ending was great. Man, I didn't realize dolphins were so powerful.

Hshshshshshsh...that last part... No wonder why Terror Drone can move faster.... That the reason why 7:45

About the Aegis cruiser's attack more effective when you manually set to attack, you can do this automatically if micro managing is to tedious. Set it to "patrol mode" by using the way point mode, then make a polygon like a triangle in an area you want to patrol and done. This is my best defence against a Kirov when I'm busy in another part of the map.

Looks like the most useless unit of the game turns out to be the most unique and useful one! As always, you still teach us new things with this game!

I love how you're making comedy clips with the YR engine!

allied amphibious transport: how about an adventure? me: in you? ... nope

If you have a damage unit setting on a damaged building with walkthrough cells (ie War Factory, Refinery, etc.) You can heal the building using a Repair IFV by repairing the unit.

2:13 Funny story, I did experiment this desolator thingy out of curiosity when I'm still a little boi. I thought it's funny and mesmerizing because it looked like a fireworks display.

7:00 Exactly a countermeasure used in Red Alert 3, but treated like the infected subject is being repaired(destroys Terror Drone), as I have learned...

That dolphin ending tho 😂😂😂.

Dolphins work even better in their role than Disruptors in Tiberian sun it seems....wow.

I feel like Dolphin evacuated Terror Drone from tank is most likely the bug cause Dolphin also evacuated Giant Squid when it wrap around the ship as well so most likely the projectile that attacked from them seem to be the cause of it

Now I know why Aegis Cruiser can attack only air units. His rockets ate SO powerfull!

"Great as always..." -Papa Boris

That feels when your own dolphins destroys your own naval by defending intruders

I didn't know about last trick, thanks

have you ever heard of the story of a Terror drone riding a Dolphin to cross a river?

Next Video: Mental Omega Test All neval units

Lovely quality video work dude.

Little addition to your tips: 1)Load a bunch of Crazy Ivans or Cuba terrorists in a flak trucks. 2)Get those flak trucks into a hovercraft. 3)Send hovercrafts to enemy base... Congrats! You have your personnal shaheed forces and you have no need to be Libya😅

Re: Aegis Cruiser attack speed It's not so much so you manually have to order it to attack but more on how Aegis' targetting works, in an auto-attack only missiles that will go to quickest to the target will fire. When ordered, the targetting priorities of the other missiles change to target directly ordered. An Aegis can shoot to its fastest if the ship rotates perpendicularly towards the target as it's shooting. Basically clearing as many of the targetting calculations for the weapon.

OMG! TG, your tips about antimissile desolators defence and dolphin potential excited me well...

Damn, I finally found your channel I would watch your mk4 videos back in 2009 I was a kid but your videos had helped me a lot, damn how the years have changed lol keep up the content 👍.

Terror drone been terror'd

The Last one blew my mind. I knew this game had many "secrets" or hidden mechanics and I found quite a few, but this one... I wouldnt have ever figured out. Thumbs up!

Amazing work like always I love to see you playing some multi-player

The game that keeps on giving

Gigachad Dolphin: Why yes, I'm also an expert mechanic in curing your vehicles from enemy terror drones, how did you know?

The last part is gold xD LMAO

tg 2:04 Man, how did you do that ? you are really genius, that is a very useful using for the desolators, good job 👏👏👏👏👏

2:19 not only Aegis, but all anti air units

I discovered about dolphins attack accidentally when I was attacking an enemy submarine and that wen behind the shipyard and shipyard got destroyed quickly than usual while the attack of dolphin was passing through it after that i tested it like you showed and used it properly after that

Amount of details that this game has is just out of mind , even games now days after 20 years can't compete with RA2 . Damn u EA for shutting down C&C series

thx for video bro! u best ! best ending lol :D

2:18 ship can sink in mid air, amazing

I was quite surprised by that last one because I honestly thought dolphins only attack other naval units. As for the flak tracks maximizing their infantry capacity and then being loaded onto amphibious transports I already knew that one. You could also do that in red alert 1 by maximizing infantry capacity in APCs and then loading them onto transports

Great video

The halftrack with filled infantry + amphibious transport always gets my head scratching. If only the halftrack can transport something like a tank in them, that will be an exploit

1:02 Ah I see the attack is not a terror drone like attack which will periodically damage the Robot Tank even when they are on the ground when the squid engaged a Robot Tank without Triple Power Mod. The creator of the mod seemed to coded that attack.

2:37 When I play for fun against AI, I set up the Aegis Defense System at a choke point like the middle section in Bay of Pigs or on a bridge. I put a few gatling tanks inside tank bunkers, 3 Magnetrons on patrol loop behind that and 3 Aegis Cruiser on patrol loop beside the gatling bunkers. Gatling deal with infantry, Magnetron lifts incoming vehicles from afar and Aegis shreds them. Elite Aegis honestly feels like it has the highest DPS in the game. It shreds Apocalypse tanks in seconds.

the end really got me😂😂😂😭

If only that last part about the Dolphin was a joke

Your videos are very impressive.

One more thing... dolphins also can damage units in the land.

OMG!!! Never knew about dolphins can deal with terror drone...

I'm utterly surprised that desolators' radiation can destroy missiles :O I have played this game for two decades and I didn't know it until I watched this video today ...

0:22 how about using typhoon sub for such demonstration

Dolphins confirmed OP. And they're pretty powerful in RA3 if I'm not mistaken.

6:57 rarest meta that I have ever seen

tg 7:49 Ohhh 😂😂😂 this dolphin is really scary 😂😂😂 sure he is an orca 😂😂😂 (Orca is a kind of dolphins ).

The dolphin terror drone trick also works in RA3 if I'm not wrong? It'll destroy the terror drone though

Dolphin: You underestimated my POWER

It would be nice to see in your next video as to how many prism towers you can link together, and whether any additional tower above this limit could be added to the chain somehow. Thanks.

Aegis will auto attack at full power if it encounters an enemy on waypoint patrol.

Never knew that boomer is immune with giant squid

I love ur videos 🥳🥳😍😍😍

7:02 They've been doing that since RA2?! 😳 All ships in the ending = the Jedi Counsel Dolphin = the Senate

O... btw great videos anyway tg!

Is there any difference when demolition truck with elite status? Lol

2:06 never know this before

1:00 Hax! :P Don't Giant Squids have a unique, glitched-out animation for attacking Robot Tanks that involves surrounding it from below with tentacles? I've seen it happen a few times and it goes all kaleidoscopic on land... and the tanks are still capable of movement too... 2:25 That sinking feeling... 3:35 Yeah, otherwise it'd be too easy to disable Yuri's naval operations since he's only got two ships :D 5:09 That's why AEGIS Cruisers are Kirov Killers as soon as they get promoted once... as long as you're paying attention. I wonder why that's a thing though... why does it only fire faster if you tell it to actually shoot at something? 7:05 That's something I didn't even think about but it makes sense... if it can dislodge a squid, why wouldn't it be able to dislodge a Terror Drone? Roughly the same code, right?

WTF 20 years I've played this game (on and off) and I didn't know you can separate Terror Drones from vehicles with dolphins o_O

7:00 - Same concept in Red Alert 3.

5:10 Just use looping waypoint, aegis will automatically use its rapid fire

That outro though, so funny...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anti-Air Flak= Splash Damage Missile= Accurate Single Target Damage

OMG... COMRADE!!! DOLPHINS!!!!

6:57 what!

one thing i know about aegis are they do splash damage when automatic attack, its kinda usefull when u face mass air unit

1:30 : TAKE THAT AGE OF EMPIRES.

If the desolate can destroy the rockets isn't a Yuri clone able to do that too?

You didn’t mention you can use air craft carriers or dragernaughts to assist anti submarine warfare if one of your units can spot the submarine. Then you can use your other naval units to force attack the area where there is a submarine. Thanks for the video by the way great content!

Question: What happens if you queue up targets with the aegis cruiser?

0:07 Soviet and Yuri transports have heavy armor and crush infantry, sandbags, fences, etc. and Allied transport has light armor. Other than that they're completely identical. 0:43 Nope. Each unit has its own Weight= set; this controls how much it "jumps side-ways"/rocks when infected by a parasite like the Terror Drone and controls whether or not the unit sinks when destroyed above water. In rules.ini and rulesmd.ini there's the "ShipSinkingWeight=" tag. Any unit with a Weight= higher or equal to this number will sink instead of exploding. Transports, Robot Tanks, Sea Scorpions have a weight set lower than the ShipSinkingWeight, so they explode and don't sink. Death by Squid seems to force units on water to sink... 1:29 exploit due to oversight and the game's lack of common-sense :P Realistically, you can't fit 5 people in a 3-people-large box, can you? 1:56 the way the bombardment ships, V3s, Destroyers when attacking subs and Boomer subs when attacking ground work is by spawning their AircraftType on the "ground" (in Westwood's games water is actually just ground with special rules); they don't use actual projectiles like all the other units (which are immune to all damage but can't pass active Firestorm wall-sections), they use Aircraft to make damage (either as Fighters like the Harrier or as Suicide=yes units like Demo Trucks). While on the ground they can be hit with anti-ground weapons (and radiation), once they launch they can only be attacked by anti-air weapons. That's the reason they're getting destroyed here. In a similar manner, Harriers and Black Eagles docked to an Air Force Command HQ (or "ACHQ") can also be attacked by anti-ground units and harmed with radiation. For Aircraft Carrier's Hornets and Destroyer's Ospreys the time interval is really small (they immediately go up), but Boomer's Cruise Missiles, V3's V3 Rocket and Dreadnought's Dread Missiles are coded to adjust themselves to a specific angle and height (both customizable in code) before actually taking off. Depending on the settings under [General] in the rules INI, this might be done in a few frames and much less than a second or delayed to the point they become completely useless. 3:12 Flak weapons are coded to have their projectile be Inaccurate and to FlakScatter. The greater the distance the greater the scatter and inaccuracy. 4:00 Squid are parasites in-game much like the Terror Drone; those allow units to fire when infected too. Makes me wonder if Terror Drones could be promoted by destroying allied units like in 4:20 if the Drone were allowed to be promoted in the first place... 5:10 Aegis Cruiser has DistributedFire=yes. It will fire its weapon once, find another target, then fire once, repeat. Waypoint mode can be used instead of manual commands every time. According to the code and comments, this tag was supposed to make a unit/garrisoned building attack all targets in-range evenly. As you can see, this doesn't work on singular units, and probably doesn't work on garrisons either, as the tag was scrapped for them. 5:55 fun fact: the Dolphin's weapon is the same weapon as the Disruptor's from Tiberian Sun: both are IsSonic weapons. 6:57 Dolphin's weapon was designed to eject the parasitic Squid from ships, logically parasitic Terror Drones are ejected from tanks, ships and transports. I wonder what happens to the Drone if ejected from a transport while over water... Overall, nice video! Very informative!

6:46 How a Dolphin montage

Here is a thing to test: does the enemy AI Aegis Cruiser fires at full (manual) or half (automatic) speed?

Can a lifted naval unit “sink” if killed over land?

tg's outros are the best

No wonder dolphins always sucked - I was using them wrong

Great

And an elite aegis cruiser is basically a missile gattling cannon when manually targetted. Edit: Btw have you featured that when deployed, you can force fire desolators on the ground to make them irradiate more faster?

That OP desolator O.o

There's Spirit of The Law for Age Of Empires and Tg for Red Alert. It is a good 👌 world.

every time you thing you know all : Red alert 2 is so much more awesome xD

Dolphins really are OP. You just surround a group of subs and attack the middle one. You can take them out even if they outnumber you 3:2.

I would like to see the effect of tanya and naval seal on all naval units could they C4 all units? .... Can they detect sleath ones?

6:38 Actually, you don't have to do that, move it as close to the target as possible, and you get the same result 6:24 Same, attack at close range to deal high damage, no need to target far distant it specifically

Dolphins are super special :)

Dolphins are on point

tg The only information I didn't know that all about elite giant squids and the last thing about dolphins with terror drone and the information about desolators.

Rare content

how did you find this?!

Typhoon Subs and Boomer Subs: We want to destroy a shipyard, the healthiest structure in the game as fast as possible One sonic boi: Watch, and learn from me

5:05 Aegis Cruiser attacks faster if you manually target the enemies? Wow did not know that. Challenge: TG can you test which one is stronger? A) Elite Aegis Cruiser with Firepower upgrade and Chaos Droned against Kirov B) Elite Aegis Cruiser with Firepower upgrade and manually targeting Kirov (also try scenario A while also trying to target manually)
