Do you guys think I talked too slow in this one? I hope I didn’t but watching it back myself I felt like I was talking in slowmo the whole video for some reason lol. I see many people asking how to play coop for RA3. CnCnet and Revora is how i got it to work. It’s not straightforward per se, but not that difficult either, so you should be able to follow a tutorial online and get it working as well. Happy gaming with your buddy if you get it set up properly!!

No Psy! You were your usual cheerful self! I didn't notice any slowness in your talking. Also, I hope you do the rest of the Campaigns as well as the Expansion Campaigns as well (Those have NO COOP so no more relying on anyone)

Exist much more easy and profitable, but a little unstable way to eliminate Krukov in sixth mission: Send the engineer to his construction yard and Natasha on the high ground near his bunker, but far from his forces. When Tolyan orders to destroy him, quickly order to Natasha destroy the bunker and engineer to capture the construction yard. The problem with this method that Krukov sometimes build twinblades that can kill the engineer, but he made them quite rare, so risk not so big.

[@greenth-mac2550]

Because RA3's campaigns are co-op, it was more interested to watch this one. I'd like to see something similar to Uprising. Not that it has co-op campaign but there is a way around it for 2 commanders, kind of. Also, the final soviet mission is probably my favorite, it's kind of like RA2's last 2 soviet missions, betrayed and no head to the soviet union anymore, it's just us and our loyal army, except this time Dasha, Zhana and Moskvin (maybe Oleg as wlel) are on our side in this fight. Having c co-commander makes it that we are not the only Commander envolved in the plot.

You know that sickle that gets killed in Circus of Treachery's cutscene by tankbusters? Yeah, that unit CAN survive. It's very, very luck based. The tankbusters literally stopped shooting it for me when I was young on the DvD I have. The sickle had like 1/100 HP left, it's bar was gone, yet it still was alive. I healed it with the next crate. I found it pretty cool. But this never happened again. Tankbusters would always bust it before it got out of range. Because for me, it got out of range and the busters stopped trying to bust it. Meaning the sickle could escape and fell under my command. Very sure I wasn't dreaming, as DvD RA3 for me has occasional bugs occur. And as a kid I did as deathless as possible to preserve units. Sill do. Sometimes my camera bugs and I can zoom through the map which is hilarious. But these bugs are very, very rare. Like 1 in 1000 chance of happening.
