Making 20 Aegis Cruisers *Angry* (Fully Upgraded): Red Alert 2

[@cleanerwhite9470]

That must be the most tactically crutial firehydrant in the entire world. Everyone either try to take it out or protect it at any cost possible.

[@GreenElf]

😁😁😁

[@TheManofthecross]

not really he needed a target so that he can test this and make a vid.

[@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

The fire hydrant is in the middle of the ocean so it has access to more water in case a fire breaks out 🔥🔥🔥

[@thibs2837]

The aegis? It's always targeted first?

[@Jejking]

RA1: Allies on the verge of losing until Einstein's chronosphere interferes RA2: Allied armada on steroids

[@cdcdrr]

RA1's Allies had actually already turned the tide with conventional weapons well before the Chronosphere is made available in the last mission. With their fleet on the Volga facilitating a breakthrough. It's in RA2 where the two sides have naval parity, and the Chronosphere is vital to getting past the frontlines.

[@TheValentineEnemy]

It was a special delivery alright!

[@TheZoobZoobs]

Aegis Cruiser is such a weird unit, like it shreds the most dreaded air unit in the game but it can't attack anything other than air and you can only build it in certain maps due to it being a naval unit.

[@PGAC22]

Not true when you get it to elite, it can fire missiles like dreadnought missiles to land.

[@whyareugae3372]

​@@PGAC22 no

[@fluffly3606]

I assume the missiles detonating randomly after killing a target represents the system launching the next salvo before confirming whether the target was destroyed, and then self-destructing them to free up the guidance channels rather than attempting the unreliable process of re-targeting a weapon mid-flight? This game has a surprising amount of attention to detail

[@adambrown6669]

It's more just the rockets fire fast enough that more volleys are sent before the first hits so the last volley continues to fire and then explodes eventually. Same thing happens with the Dreadnaught, it fairly regularly fires another volley after it's target is dead because the code line that makes it fire activates just before the target is registered as destroyed

[@UnknowinglyDerpy]

The technical answer may just be that if the missiles don't self destruct after the original target dies, some spaghetti code may accidentally let the extra missiles target a stray airborne unit half the map away, the entire thing was built upon the same code from the first game back in 1995 where a glitch could cause a missile trooper or a grenadier to fling projectiles from one end of the map to another What you're describing may all be technically accurate, but under the hood things may be a little more straight forward than what you expect

[@royboy409]

No kirovs were harmed in the making of this video!

[@GreenElf]

literally none

[@mwperk02]

But i coulda sworn I saw 11 Factorial Kirovs explode in the video. Maybe My Maths are wrong?

[@Migixkem]

My man testing aegis cruisers And got distracted why the seal dies to the hydrant and why does only one ofy them die if Tanya is included 😂

[@GreenElf]

very distracted😂😂 i was like: - .....what?🤔🤔🤔

[@MSgtRazor]

Probably because the unit is still on the tile when it explodes. If they get in the water fast enough, they'll be fine. If not, they are registered as being in the blast area?

[@GreenElf]

@@MSgtRazor that's exactly my thoughts

[@GreenElf]

and i think Tanya dies more=related to Tanya speed(she gets there faster)... but i'm not sure

[@bbglas007]

@@GreenElf You notice this is also the case when c4'ing shipyards - I find that if you are fast you can micro them away from their deaths if you get them to travel in a direct straight line away from the blast. I believe this to be a c4/ building / amphibious type glitch .. a very odd one at that

I did not even know Kirovs had death voiceovers as well.... Played this game almost 15 years now and still learn something new about it nowadays :)

[@kampfer91]

The problem with this cruiser is that instead of spreading theirs missile evenly , every single cruise focus fire on a single target .

[@meferswift]

Yeah, a good multi target capabilities is a dang impressive algorithm.

[@D0ct0rD0ng]

Boy this new Bloons TD game sure has taken one hell of a turn, but I have a good feeling about it.

[@llVIU]

ah yes, a fire hydrant in the middle of the ocean. Because that's exactly what firefighers need in the middle of the ocean.

[@Meowfuwafuwa]

I am wondering about a crew's ears that be able to stand against the Aegis' missile noise.

[@roastingchicken721]

Meanwhile in kirov airship: Whats that sound?

[@napadaanlng69]

I like the missile patterns that the aegis cruiser makes, i wonder if the "after kill random missiles fired" of aegis cruiser hit the air units?

[@GreenElf]

never thinked about that, good question

[@bbglas007]

Many people believe the Aegis to be the most efficient AA naval unit but this is not the case. You can see that the Aegis doesn't have these weaknesses: *1.) High Rate of Fire 2.) Ability to Fire whilst Moving 3.) Deal Large Amounts of Damage* _Rather it's undoing is akin to target selection_ *The Aegis commonly OVERSHOOTS it's targets* Westwood endeavoured to allow the engine to express diverse target selection capabilities of certain units however did not create enough depth in the engine to allow it to shine to it's fullest potential. This is why you see in this video the Aegis is still firing at the same target as it is killed. The target often has an extra 4 missiles being launched at it by the time it dies. If Westwood had chosen to add VHPScan=Strong then the Aegis may have a change to stand up to the Sea Scorpion.

[@GreenElf]

ty, nice info!

[@kevinlow69420]

Can we mod that?

[@bbglas007]

@@kevinlow69420 you can mod it to be more effective but you won't be able to mod it to aim and shoot at multiple different targets simultaneously. (Not without a lot of hackery that makes it almost not worth it)

[@cardiv5zuikaku944]

This is probably the most important Hydrant in the world But nice seeing RA2 video in 2021 heheh

[@Oueax]

I love how it turned into a Seal+Tanya suicide roulette. Like who would thought they kill themselves?

[@Frost-01]

if 20 of them were already that broken enough, just see what happens when you micro them by spamming the attack button on the target OWO

[@AzureKaioshin]

Aegis Cruisers are strong as hell, but they are pretty inefficient with their DPS with weaker targets. They waste a lot of shots and time targeting weaker units.

[@eel7818]

If someone is guarding their island base with aegis cruisers, your air attacks are hopeless

Only an anti air beast if you have water on the map. I wish modders would make an amphibious version lol, but I guess that would be too op huh

[@adambrown6669]

Closest thing to that would be a battle fortress loaded with elite guardian GI or a squad of elite IFVs

[@jpal0227]

dont forget you can manually target with aegis cruisers to increase fire rate drastically

[@Kira121086]

I don't think it increases fire rate... IIRC, elite Aegis Cruisers fire 3x missiles when you manually target.

[@jpal0227]

@@Kira121086 no it does. manually ordering attacks with an aegis dramatically increases fire rate. even more so when elite
