I think they thought they had done 🤣

Yeah that mission is pretty hard to do fast, because not only can't you see the barrels you need to blow up, but the Yak's easily run out of ammo too quickly.

What is going on in mission 9? You win by destroying one ranger?

Bi Pee you only had to destroy that one convoy truck to win mission 9. I would rush that mission by dropping paratroopers in that spot. Never thought one kamikaze pilot would do the job though!

How do you even select the area for the yak to target

​@@mattiedoa4070if I remember right, you need to have ground units selected with yak. Then you can move flying units to darkness together

Nah - I quite liked that. Brings back good memories

Agreed, but the remaster has volume sliders for different sound categories. Turning unit speech down a little works nicely for me, don’t even have to mute it.

:)

Watched at 0.25 speed to not feel too inferior.

And, do you always get a paratrooper when a Yak is destroyed? I thought it was random?

It's a 50% chance, but I have a video of an even faster strategy =)

I normally slow that mission down so I can order my vehicles to follow immediately. And snipe the truck with V2 or otherwise.

@@StuGames Which video is that?

GAS GAS GAS!!

The soviet commander drives the truck... Maximum efficiency

Initial C&C, lol.

:(

@@StuGames btw: is this a new run or a sliced compilation of single mission runs?

It's the same runs, for people that don't want to see the cutscenes.

@@StuGames i see. Btw: The mcv glitch for sovjet mission five was fixed by an update, if you want to record it again without reloading...

Uninstalling...* I'm old too, so god damn man.

They fixed it now in Remastered, not sure what caused it!

He selected all units, including the planes, and had them immediately make attacks on fuel barrels to blow up buildings.

Force attack is selected areas which ignites the barrels

And Aftermath and Counterstrike, although only one of them is sequential.

I think on lower difficulties your units are faster so it might be possible!

i had to try it myself to believe it. wow!

The buildings (not the infantry!) on that island belong to a different faction that don't need to be destroyed.

@@StuGames Wow, didn't know that. I seem to remember always having to destroy everything. They aren't even different color.

@@StuGames what faction is that

i guess the faction on the Island is like remanants of continental European forces and the main faction on the north is British forces...

@@chengda85 The game has 'factions' for all the countries your see in multiplayer, plus 'Goodguy' and 'Badguy'. Greece and Goodguy have the same color scheme, same as 'USSR' and 'Badguy'

Are you attacking the transport ship coming in? If you don't attack it will soon move around your sub. The easiest way is putting it in Guard mode (look it up in your hotkeys). The shipyard isn't rebuild because I block the location with a sub after destroying it. The cruiser coming from offscreen happens at 45 minutes ingame time (11:15 realtime at fastest speed), so I'm already done with the mission at that point :) Hope that helps

@@StuGames Helped a bit, i dunno man, by the time i get my transport out to get the crates, the 50+ choppers have already wiped out all my surviving tanks from the landing battle.

You need at least 3 mammoth tanks (better 4) to survive the initial fight for them to take on the choppers. Or you can just build rush out some SAM sites :)

@@StuGames I beat it, but had to do it the old fashion 20 mins way xD my guard command doesnt work :/

Yeah, the start of that mission was BRUTAL and I had to restart so many times I decided not to restart because of the thief... it wasn't too bad though, only lost a couple of seconds to it :)

@@StuGames bloody legend mate.

I don't know, but multiple people have commented that so there must be something to it!

That's how I remember it as well, and I totally cheesed this mission on my first playthrough, but I think it was patched away pretty soon because that strat was no longer viable when I re-installed the game from another set of discs a few years later.

Good idea but you probably lose too many resources from them immediately attacking you when you capture the CY.

@@StuGames Their focus would be on the conyard though, so long as you got down the war factory they'd attack that second, as you already have 1 down at normal base, you might be able to get out a few heavies before it dies and defeat the 3? tanks they'd send to it :P

You used to be able to just force attack anywhere into the shroud, but I believe they removed that in an update (because of multiplayer), unfortunately!

@@StuGames I can only agree with you, I've tried it several times and the planes fly back to base. well there will probably be another possibility to be able to play through it quickly ^^

he probably uses a gaming mouse that can do 5 clicks at once

@@dietermitplatten whaaaat?

hold Shift and click to train 5 units at once

Red Alert 1 has a different engineer mechanic. If a building’s health bar is at green or yellow, engineers just damage it. Buildings are only capturable when in red health. He can’t just sneak in several engineers to capture half a base like in Tiberian Dawn.

why not ?
