Let's Play Command & Conquer Red Alert

[TaxOwlbear]

It was the transporter all along!  :O

[TaxOwlbear]

This one is a pretty fun mission. We gte our hand son heavy tanks for the first time and have the straightforward job to kill everyone around.

How about we DO take out the radar first this time?

It didn't work this time, but what I used to do was scout the island, land paaratroopers and then blow up the Allied MCV and deny them the second base. Man, did I feel clever for doing that!

Gosh Distant Thunder was a pain in the rear the first few times I tred to play it.

[TaxOwlbear]

The very first time I played it, I build my base too close to the shore an got promptly shelled by the Allied ships.  XD

[Allen262]

Got that done too! Have you eaten up all of the Ore yet?

[TaxOwlbear]

That happened afterwards. Of course I didn't just restart, I waited until the ore came back and I finally had enough submarines and troops to take the island. By that time, the Allies had built about a thousand tanks. It was terrible.

They get some of those tanks from transports that unload them on the beaches. What I ended up doing was taking out there Ore Truck a few times tell the base on the starting land was out of money than eating up all the Ore my self. I used the Ore to build a Sub fleet to knock off the ships, A army of tanks and a small Transport fleet. Not easy at the start as the AI wil to destroy your Sub Pens unless you can bait a the ship to stay still so a V2 can take it out slowly.

 

Once the Allied ships from your Sub Pen to the Allied base and landing zone on the island are sunk. I rushed my tanks in to the broke Allied base took out the few Allied units there than loaded the tanks on to Transport fleet and attached the just staring Allied base on the island. The Allied base on the island won't start tell you put your own troops on th island or attack the mainland base so the Allied forces on the island are small.

Also, why does Youtube tell my that my videos are "shaky"? This is a 2D game. It hardly gets less shaky than that.

[Nyerguds]

Dunno... does the screen shaking thing still happen in RA95?

[TaxOwlbear]

It's another one of those convoy missions, but this time, we can control the lorries. Thanks, I appreciate that.

When a harvester gets blown up? Yes. It seems to be independent from that, though (i.e. is happens for missions like the spy mission too).

[Allen262]

Maybe YT sees the quick screen movemets you can make by scrolling as screen shake.

 

Also can't wait to see Sov 9...

[TaxOwlbear]

Aaaand let's do that again:

I never liked those 2 missions. Getting the convoy across. Simply due to the fact that you end up destroying a lot/everything any way.

 

[TaxOwlbear]

You can do it without building your base, but it's not that easy and probably not the way the devs intended.

[X3M]

I decided not to challenge you in that. Because it would be a boring and obvious challenge.

Are you saying you actually could and want to show?

 

With a lot of effort, the first one, I once managed. But it requires a lot of distraction either way.

The second one seems impossible with the one and only bridge being destroyed so quickly.

 

To be honest, I rather have you do the next mission.

[TaxOwlbear]

Here is the infamous nuclear power plant mission. When I first saw this, I was blown away by the fact that this is an indoor mission!

 

Also, this plant explodes like a thermonuclear bomb because this is a video game.

The mission that PETA should be crying at....

[X3M]

Those soldiers are faster because they are from Ukraine?

What does our .ini magician say?

I managed to do it once a couple years ago, but it was basically just me restarting the mission 15+ times until it worked. Not much of a tactical achievement, to be honest.

 

The mission that PETA should be crying at....

I wonder who decided to leave two dozen German Shepherds in a nuclear power plant in the first place...

if they are Ukrainian, they should be 10% faster, but from what I remember, those bonuses were accidentally turned into penalties at one point and I'm not whether they were ever fixed.

Hah, the scene on the screen in the opening and ending videos is from the C&C1 tiberium refinery interior

So the power plant workers were busy playing C&C. No wonder the thing almost blew up.

The only bugged Country bonuses were for England (Armour) and France (Rate of Fire). Turkey, Greece and Spain had no bonuses (but were originally disabled from multiplayer)

 

But for singleplayer missions the Country bonuses are switched off. Plus you are Red, which is always USSR in the game, and Allied Blue is always Greece.
