GDI Armor - Command and Conquer - Tiberium Lore

[@Jethild]

A few corrections and clarifications based off feedback from the comments: 1) In Tiberian Dawn, the vehicle production factory is actually called the Weapons Factory. The name changed to War Factory in the later games. This includes Red Alert, even though timeline-wise, that game acts as a prequel to Tiberian Dawn. 2) The repair drones from the War Factory can all be ordered to repair a single damaged vehicle via their Repair ability. 3) The original M1 Abrams tank was armed with a 105mm gun, which is mentioned as the Medium Tank's main armament in the C&C manual. However, the later M1A1 model of the Abrams was armed with a 120mm gun. 4) I forgot to mention that GDI used the M2 Bradley in their arsenal, as the vehicle is seen in a couple of cutscenes in Tiberian Dawn. I'll be sure to mention this in a future video on Nod's Armor since they also used the M2 Bradley.

[@00yiggdrasill00]

Can we just take a moment to recognise the sheer magnitude of GDI military power? They underfund their core military for several years/decades to focus on Tiberium abatement and still win a global war against both nod and the scrin. Without kane the brotherhood would have never had a dream of any success.

[@yagdtigercommander]

Agreed However with Brother Marcions more brute force tactics and less focus on stealthy ambush tactics I think at least initially could have caught GDI off guard since GDI wouldn't have expected a sudden mass assault of heavily armoured flamethrower troopers as well as flames tanks and Purifers. However GDI has mastered such tactics so the Black Hand sub faction would lose on its own in the end run because Nod as whole can't compete conventionally with GDI. But I do think the black hand were probably the only viable branch with out Kane to at least have some degree of success at least against GDIs forces stationed in yellow zones that have less defended Garrisions. But couldn't effectively take the fights to the Blue zones because they lacked air support due there preferred tactics. But GDI as whole always had the advantage simply because much of the world saw them as a unified military force to keep a level order and stability in uncertain times. GDI wasn't perfect as clearly shown with director Boyle. But as a whole Nod was truly seen for what was a terrorist organization with a Leader obessed with Tiberum being the future of humanity the very mineral killing our planet. Plus Nod says it wants peace yet burns down entire towns and villages to intimated civilians into joining their cause. Though some felt abandoned by GDI and went willingly. Its hard to paint GDI as Tyrannical Regime if your burning villages and threatening to use tiberium based weapons on the entire planet. So even with Budget Cuts GDI I still believe had enough support from much surviving populace to restore our planets environment and end Nods rain of terror once and for all. So even if the budget was cutt in significantly It still had to be very huge to be able to mass produce Juggernauts and Mammoth Tanks.

[@DavidMyrmidon]

This is the series that made me fall in love with mechs. The GDI Titan and Mammoth designs just look so bulking and imposing, when I hear "armor superiority" I think of them. It was honestly heartbreaking when i found they were nearly non-existent in the 3rd Tib Wars. And although they have grown on me, avatars are nothing like their GDI counterparts.

[@cropathfinder]

My headcanon about the mammoths in tib war one was that they were simply restored mothballed mammoth from the world war atleast in the early war. IT would explain differences and the tib war one version being worse or seeming defective in some ways like with inconsistent firing patterns as being its hardware or software faults due to age, storage conditions and lack of maintenance .

Your content is amazing! 👍

[@frostburn3736]

"Armor Superiority" a.k.a. GDI in nutshell. But after the Scrin Invasion, I hope GDI council learned it's lesson (but who am I kidding) with all that alien threat and their tech laying around. It'd be cool to see mix of Battle Walkers (and Mammoth Tanks/Walkers) supported by high-end armor divisions with tanks and vehicles equipped with many defense and weapon systems. Mechanized infantry units would also fit quite nicely with Zone Trooper/Raider-type power armors or advanced combat armors, lifted by all-terrain transports, dropships etc..

[@yagdtigercommander]

honestly as mediocore as Tiberium Twight was I really enjoyed the mix of traditional tanks and mechs GDI had as well as nod to a lesser extent. Because Both have pros and cons. But in a tandem supporting roles it really negates alot of those issues. like Mammoth can focus slugging it out with enemy tanks and the Mastadon with its sonic cannons could utterly slaughter enemy infantry while at the same time increasing the amount of aa support for other units with their missiles

[@frostburn3736]

@@w33btrash69 right. Never heard of it.

[@danielc2701]

One of the main reasons why walkers were retired by GDI was that Nod Commandos were starting to be trained on "kneecapping" tactics that could outright destroy walkers in a single attack. That same explosives used by the Commando was also used by the Shadow Teams which potentially could have caused the utter ruin of GDI's armor strategy. The change back to tracks and wheels was probably fast enough that Nod ended up not seeing the point in training Shadow Teams to kneecap but if walkers came back en mass, that could easily change.

[@Snowfireblues]

I like to think the windows up top of the amphibious APC are dual purpose, windows for increased visibility/awareness of the environment, AND emergency exits in case that the APC were to start sinking and the main door was rendered inoperable

[@kommodore6691]

No our timelines split after WW1, that upgrade probably never happened. This accidentally makes a lot of sense that they don't have the 120mm. This alternative universe WW2 was Soviets vs Allies, not Axis vs Allies, the 120mm gun was German designed. Rheinmetall probably never got the boost to its company that happened in our reality and never went on to make modern tank guns, and the Allied weapon design went in weird directions instead.

The reason I mentioned 105mm cannon is because that is what is stated in the official manual for C&C Tiberian Dawn.

Great video as always. I have a question, how do you think the mobile sensory array and other sensors detect stealth, considering that stealth can make light and radar go around it, do you think that they do something else to locate them? Also I have an opinion on something you made a video on before, EMP, I believe that nod invented the EMP cannon, as that specific structure was originally planned to be exclusive to them in the original design for tiberian sun.

[@Jethild]

It's been a couple of years since I made that EMP video, but I thought I had mentioned in that video that I thought the Brotherhood of Nod were the original inventors of the EMP cannon since I knew it was planned to be exclusive to them. There is even a high resolution image of the weapon and you can clearly see a Nod symbol on the front of it.

[@danielc2701]

The Orcas were said to have retrofitted gravimetric sensors fitted to them, so that would most likely be how they are detected, either through the changes they cause in Earth's gravitic field or through their own mass, the first one being more likely.

[@ReviveHF]

Basically the GDI Armour was similar to the Nod counterpart during the 1st Tiberium War, as they were comprised of leftover updated Soviet and Allied equipment from Great World War 2 from the late 1960s. The Humvee were basically fullfill the role of Ranger jeep while light tanks were inherited from the Allies(portrayed ingame as the Type 62 light tank but M2 Bradley in the cutscenes). The Allied Medium tanks(XM1from RA1) then evolved into GDI Medium Tanks in Tiberian Dawn(M1 Abrams) and Mammoth Tanks were the relic from the Soviet Union from RA1. That's means by the time of the 1st Tiberium War, these vehicles stayed in active service for more than 50 years. The reason why light tanks are not used by GDI ingame despite it's widespread service in the lore is because Westwood wanted to flesh out the hit and run nature of Brotherhood of Nod, same thing can be used to explain why Brotherhood of Nod doesn't have Grenadiers and Medium Tanks for gameplay reasons.
