YR Top Three Tactics?

[GeneralZ 0]

low cost and production time are the most important things in a rush

[Inferno 22]

Yup but the Rhino is simply more cost effective.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

I saw an Apoc crushing 2 german Tank Destroyers, without even having a scratch. I never saw two Rhino's doing that. Second, Apocs are much more effective against buildings. Though I must say, Rhino's are better in a quick attack.

Rhino Tanks and Apoc Tanks are equal against structures. The Apoc just seems better since it has dual shot goodness. Rhino Tanks come faster and are almost as powerful for nearly half the cost.

 

why rhinos?? grizzlys cheaper and faster to make. get a bunch off within 2 minutes and have them speeding off to ur base. dead in no time....no chance for 12 harriers...i wont give u time for that.

I'll have close to the same amout of Rhino Tanks as you do, especially true in Yuri's revenge since build speeds on the Grizzly and Rhino are tweaked to be equal. Not to mention my Terror Drones laying in await to disrupt a few tanks as they move.

 

Cost and build speed aren't the greatest factors for constructing a rush. I could rush with IFVs but it wouldn't be a great idea. Rhino Tanks have durability and don't fall as quickly as Grizzlies do.

[Inferno 22]

The Apocs have:

 

- dual shot, and those shots are waaay more powerful

- anti-air missiles, very handy against rocketeers

- double the armor

 

And they even cost only a little bit less than double the rhino price.

 

 

An apoc on the hill CAN beat ANY PAIR of tanks coming at him.

Rhino Tanks come much earlier in the game and are still the more exceptional buy. It's a 2 for 1 sale! $50 doesn't mean much in the fast-paced world of RA2. However, you're wrong about the shots being so strong. The Apocalypse weapon only has 10 points over the Rhino Tank's weapon. The dual-burst gives the Apocalypse its power.

 

A pair of Mirage Tanks could easily beat an Apocalypse and so could 2 Rhino Tanks, even on a hill.

Not very sure...depends who attacks first.If it's the apoc,the MTs suck it...This goes for the Armagedon if they attack first,especially together at once.

 

But a very good tactic too is to build 40+ grizzlies in 13-14 minutes,by building 3 ore refineries then 3 WF.This is a very brutish way fo winning,but works every time versus a developing enemy...

It's also the warhead being more powerful.

not really a tactic but more of an amusing finish to a game if your winning.

 

funnist thing I used to do in RA2/YR (when you have 2 or 3 people playing as your allies on LAN) if you play an Allied side was get a spy into a Soviet tech centre so you got chrono-ivans.

 

make about 20 of them, and when your ally is hammering on your enemy and is about to win, become a traitor and select each individial chrono-ivan and use waypoints on your allies scructures and just before your alliance has won, click the waypoint button

 

hehehe! heaps of timed bombs all over your friends base, oh the CHAOS! and hearing your friends yelling WTF?!

 

(should only be done if your mates can take a joke!)

read the rules man no posting in old threads but since it was revived i go for the spread out not very big base build tons of aa aand and ground defences all the time the most cost effective is the pillbox but the best is the tesla coil cuz u can charge it up with tesla troops

[WolFY 0]

I've never really been a big fan of base defense, I always get crippled heavily when I build them.

Always seem to get crushed by a mighty horde of vehicles in LAN games.

 

Normally I do what the other guy said, PP, Barr, Ref, WF, 1 Ore truck, Tank, Another Truck, Tank, 1 more Truck, Horde of tanks.

Almost always works when you swarm them. But my mates counter that with hordes of G.I's and Rocket G.I's or Yuri Clones. They don't really like playing Soviet.

 

But yeah, sorry for breaking the rules.
