Nod's Navy - Command and Conquer - Tiberium Lore

[@ThoriberoCaroli]

As far as I remember, one of the reasons at least for niether side having much of a navy during the Second Tiberium War, is that the tiberium algea clogged up much of the waterways of the planet. Presumably, together with the rest of the interesting flora and fauna from Tiberium Sun, it had died out/transformed by the time of the Third Tiberium War.

[@Marinealver]

That was just a throw away line for not having a navy.

"Hey uh, Battleship buddy...can you give us a hand against this GDI base and the f**king landing crafts coming in?" "Nah"

[@MrDibara]

Seriously, most USELESS piece of decoration in the games! (Tib Wars and Kane's Wrath) At least the GDI Battleships and Carriers did SOMETHING, even if just minimal! (one launches cruise missiles, the other works as a water-based Airfield) The Nod Battleship is just a statue! At least let us have a "Superweapon" where we instruct it to fire its big cannons to bombard a certain area, c'mon!

[@ServantOfOdin]

I think it is worth noting that although the Nod Battleship of the third Tiberium War has 6 turrets, 4 of those were off-centre. So it could never bring all 6 turrets (and thus its 18 barrels) to bear at the same time. Only ever 4 of them, with the others being either idle, or able to be trained at targets on the off-main side. Looking at the history of battleships, we see such off-center turrets pretty often in early times, until around WW2, the last ships that had such a mounted configuration being the German SMS Radeszky class, SMS Von der Tann class, and the British Invincuble class, along with several others. The main reason usually stated on why this was abandoned is due to the severe strain off-center turrets had on the hull, especially with heavier, more powerful calibers that began to arise at that time. So Nod using such an unusual configuration is ... weird.

[@Seriona1]

Nod using Battleships period would be weird. For a faction that evolved into a state, if you look a the founding members of Nod you'd think like the US navy would of adopted more of a destroyer and cruiser based surface fleet. A battleship is fine but they are useless in modern naval warfare and only good for bombardment but that is something Nod would not have in their favor. I mean comparing the starting GDI states against the Nod ones, at the time of the first Tiberium war. GDI has all the carriers on the world and Nod has zero.

[@ServantOfOdin]

@@Seriona1 Well, given that our modern world is vastly different to C'n'Cs world, they may still have uses for battleships. I mean the reason why in our modern time battleships are useless is because they are just way too inaccurate to do anything that other crafts could do far better and more precise. But a laser-turret (and we know Nod loves their lasers) will have no sigma (deviation from "perfect trajectory"). So laser turrents would be far more accurate. That way they can still deliver precision strikes over superlong distances. Granted this may prevent them from shooting balistic arcs, hit inland, hit objects behind mountains. But then again, what is the second job of a battleship? Be menacing. Battleships are to this day impressive and terrifying beasts of war. The fact that we're talking about a fictional battleship from a game that is set in an alternative time is prove to that. Have a battleship blockade a harbour and that places is clogged until a carrier comes in and blows the battleship up, but carriers can't be around all the time, especially in the world of C'n'C where there is a war on the entire world against Nod and one single blocked port is a pretty small priority compared to other things.

[@Seriona1]

@@ServantOfOdin I agree with the overall view but the problem once again is that the founding members of GDI are all the naval powers of the world with Nod only good ally being China who has a garbage outdated navy. The entire point of a battleship is to be the king of the sea but carriers proved during WWII that air power will always dominate over naval supremacy which is why all the navies of the world moved to having a faster navy leaving the cruiser to be the heaviest ships in a combat surface fleet, Giving the time difference, the only different thing between our world and their world beyond the Hitler situation is Tiberium. So I have no reason to conclude naval warfare would change so it's possible in the Third Tiberium War that Nod was able to get Battleships into their fleets and have good use of it but GDI who has Carriers and Missiles would make the Battleship useless really quick. It is possible this Battleship here we are seeing maybe just be a local coastal battleship which would explain why it's armed so poorly compared to standard battleships but again, I do not see GDI and Nod ever getting beyond a destroyer and cruiser based fleet.

[@ServantOfOdin]

@@Seriona1 I do agree with your assessment mostly. Again, it boils down to the usage. I'm fairly certain that naval-warfare is mostly littoral (coastal) to begin with. So these battleships would primarily be used to attack inland, not other naval vessels. Actually, this would also explain the odd arrangement of the turrets...

I wish we could have done more with the ships in those levelsin Tiberium Wars. Though using converted freighters as mobile bases seems right in line with Nod tactical doctrines in the First War, granted each of those would represent a huge strategic asset forth Brotherhood with how much they'd need to be refit. I'd imagine there were very few of them ever in operation.

i feel like Scrin would more just use their aircraft and teleport their infantry aboard ships rather than use naval stuff,though i dont know much about the lore.

[@Von_Langstein]

Awesome video. I've been theory crafting for years what Nod space ships would look like (not adapted Scrin like in firestorm but full proper Nod tech). If say they ascended successfully and went.. somewhere? in TW3 but where ever they went they were able to thrive and build without the hinderance of GDI. I've been wanting to seriously commission a professional 3D modeler to make up a Nod capital ship with obelisk of light turrets, sam's, Tiberium weaponry, hangars for deploying banshee fighters to protect the capital ship, and MCV drop bays so the capital ship can conduct a battlefield operations. The black and crimson Nod colours would look amazing on a capital ship hull with perhaps a tiberium green glow for the windows and bridge section. After growing up with this universe, no other Sci fi faction has dethroned Nod in my heart

[@videocrowsnest5251]

In the entry about the Nod Cargo Freighter - I thought it worth a mention that the Nod SAM missiles were used by a SAM site situated above them, which upon being discovered by Havoc was being primed to fire (only to self-destruct due to Havoc's handywork, saving the aircraft in the process) on a civilian aircraft entering range due to "blackout protocol being initiated." This is pretty important because it means during Tib War I Nod ships with SAM capability were actively engaging in taking potshots at civilian aircraft if they were on a secret enough mission to warrant blackout protocols. The same deck also featured a pair of anti-air missile launchers that could be crewed to defend the ship from hostile aircraft.

[@spacemanspiff6332]

First mate Gilligan is a nod to Gilligan's Island. Captain Stuving is a nod to the Love Boat.

[@igncom1]

Who ever designed the ships in TW's clearly has never watched a proper documentary on why ships were built like they were. But man NOTHING is more infuriating then not seeing that Nod BB do anything to support the ground troops. At least you got a GDI BB to provide cruise missile support a couple times, and some carrier support with Orcas. It's not like it was the first C&C game to have supporting naval ships, if not a fully controllable navy, as the USA had a super carrier and battleship in one of their missions! Imagine if more Tib Wars missions had support like that! Alas. You mentioned the GDI APC for 'ships' but GDI's amphibious or marine troops aren't too bad all things considered. As is their counterpart in nods subterranean troops, although there stands to reason that Nod also has a marine force for amphibious operations. And then the Scrin have a hell of a lot of teleporting and hover forces of their own! You could even do a special forces video on the various stealthy and commando forces in uses by the sides.

[@Jethild]

Generally speaking when it comes to unit and building designs in video games the artists tend to follow the "rule of cool" school of thought. I also think that the TW3 developers had planned to have naval combat in the game, but didn't have time to implement it. There's even concept art of a GDI shipyard. I also plan on making a video dedicated to the Commandos of each of the factions.

[@Kronosfobi]

To be fair if we made everything ''realistically viable'' we wouldnt have 85% of media created over decades today. We wouldnt have DOOM (how a single man can rip demons apart with their bare hands even before the curse?) We wouldnt have Avatar (Although practical, their tech also has its own problems) We wouldnt have ANY of the C&C. We wouldnt have ANY Alien related media. We wouldnt have ANY futuristic media. As a matter of fact everything we had would seem like copies of eachother. Rule of cool works. Because its actually interesting and fun. Now Im not against realistic designs or the practicalty, I really appreciate when designers manage to design things that are realistic and viable. But criticising a game for having *unrealistic* design choices is a bit overboard.

[@igncom1]

@@Kronosfobi Yeah I wouldn't take my comment that seriously, really it's more of a soft criticism. I like it when things 'largely' represent something that makes sense for it's own context. Like in a fantasy world an elf that can run fast, or in Doom the Doom Guy being unstoppable. Wasn't criticising all of fiction for being fiction come on now. Like I don't really like Nods Scorpion Tanks but they do... mostly function as they are supposed to. Got armour, treads, a cannon and so on even if it's all hinged onto the tracks in a ridiculous way and has a glass canopy crew compartment! Obviously I'd love the Nod Battleship more if it looked less like a pre-dreadnought (not that I don't love me pre-dreadnoughts!), didn't have a wired double hull, and was actually a functioning unit in the game at least to defend your base from surface, and possibly air, threats. But it is what it is even with my minor quibble. I'll apologise if I sounded more serious and damning then I intended though. Probably preface it as "more realistically viable" rather then just "realistically viable."

[@louievelayo4100]

12:19 Yeah, that Battleship is most likely aligned with the Black Hand since LEGION is utilizing Black Hand tech for the mission... Also the small guns in the sides of the Battleship is most likely used for Anti-Air screening... I mean let's face it, since the outbreak of WW2 and particularly the Japanese *PEEKABOO!* in Pearl Harbor, Battleships have lost their status as primary naval vessels to Fleet Carriers and Battleships are just merely used as off-shore artillery support or as Anti-Air screens for the Carriers... After that, they went to obscurity... Now all Battleships are either Museum Ships(like Iowa and her sisters) or scrap, and no new Battleships have been built since then...

[@killerguythefox]

Yeah the pacific campaign of WW2 basically kickstarted the carrier doctrine into light speed. And as technology improved especially in missile technology and aircraft. Battleships didnt have the flexibility or range and almost perfect precision of say aircraft and missile cruisers. As both those things could carry equal firepower that could as we learned even turn battleships to scrap. Making them big resource hogs that represented too big of a target with too much investment to lose. But battleships did make sense in some cases for the time they were made. Big hulking tanks with the ability to bombard a whole area. But when everything became long range and smaller and even aircraft being able to take out such huge ships battleships are just an obscurity now. Still for the time they were around they were works of art in a sense.

In-case if anyone wondering why Nod's 3rd Tiberium War Hovercraft (or manta ray) is hovering above the sea instead of in the air.

Plus, it's very fast and can carry heavy cargos like tanks and etc. if we were to put it in the Tiberium lore, i can say, Nod might have got inspiration by that Warship. On the other hand, the game developers might have took note of that when designing the Nod's Hovercraft. :)

[@kennycai8695]

Considering that the Brotherhood specializes in subterfuge and asymmetrical warfare, if we want to build up Nod's navy, I can probably expect submarines to form the backbone of any naval operations. The Soviets used submarines to great efficiency, not to mention in Renegade, Nod used a submarine for transport purposes, since hiding underwater made it perfect for smuggling supplies and reinforcements into GDI controlled territory. The way submarines attack also matches how the Stealth Tank operated on land, but instead of de-cloaking, the submarine surfaces to launch torpedoes. By this logic, I can see submarines being a perfect match for the Brotherhood's naval core. I am borrowing a lot from the Empire from Red Alert 3, but I can picture Nod develop their iterations of the Yari minisub and Sea-Wing anti-air submarine to support their battleships. A ballistic missile sub like the Boomer from Red Alert 2 may be an interesting addition, but yeah, Nod already has their fleet of battleships for shoreline bombardment.

I did like the few times you could sink ships that were just in port or just at the water, I don't know why but it felt like a success merely because we don't see that many.
