Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge - Testing Magnetrons

[@SoldierOfFate]

The Magnetron: useless in the hands of an unwary player, game changing in the hands of a professional.

[@minh3264]

i always drop enemy miners on their refinery... these things are pretty op

[@joshrobbinsditto3055]

Instant kill.. it's amazing.

[@AxellMorren]

But depends on the HP of Miner. If miner is low health, the damage is weak

[@Chippaization]

Surprised there was never a mission where you had to use magnetrons to move troops across the map due to the terrain being impassable

[@joshuagabrielcatindig7607]

Well, no Yuri mission, so...

[@bormisha]

Magnetrons are often used to rescue friendly slave miners when attacked by a group of enemy tanks. You just drag your miners across a cliff into safety.

[@bormisha]

You can use magnetrons with great effect on Soviet mission 5 (Escape Velocity). But for this you need to capture Yuri's conyard or a war factory. I prefer to base walk across the cliffs to the top where the secret lab is. There I build barracks and a war factory to make flak trucks and engineers to capture nearby laser towers. Then I capture the rest of Yuri's buildings in the area, including conyard. Then I build a bunch of magnetrons and viruses to wreak havoc on his main base at the bottom. Psychic reveal comes in very handy, too.

[@KILAH4716]

omg the Magnetron, the essential tool for a competent competitive Yuri player. I hate this thing....unless I'm commanding it. :P You need to do some deeper testing with Magnetrons to show off how much weaker the unit is while airborne. This makes Magnetrons and Gatling Tanks (and maybe a Master Mind or two) a strong force to deal with. Oh, yea, and to show off wtf glitch shit is going on when you Magnetronize Harriers/Black Eagles, and if you can target Kirovs or Discs that are just exiting War factories. The Harriers and Eagles, I know will screw the Magnetron up, but I'm honestly curious on the latter. Edited for the 3rd time: Magnetrons pulling a ship attacked by a Giant Squid. Result...?

[@CaveyMoth]

[@llSuperSnivyll]

So basically the Magnetron is an artillery unit (given how the AI uses it) that is much better as a support unit than as artillery.

[@joshrobbinsditto3055]

That's exactly right..

[@joshuagabrielcatindig7607]

[@Kiwijr2579]

I never thought on throwing vehicles on top of other vehicles with this unit. Cool! :)

[@RappyGrinder]

That's kinda stupid and funny when the hovercraft not sink to the water when falling from magnetroll grip but sink when falling off the demolished bridge.

[@HasekuraIsuna]

If I remember correctly units inside die as well. : (

[@codybudd3093]

Eyyyy use a Magnetron on a ship that's being attacked by a Giant Squid.

[@waltermarine3248]

ship : *proceeds to be a land unit*

[@toastius9939]

From what ive learned: Allies is for Players with experience due to thier Weak but faster units The Soviets are for beginners due to thier units having higher health but slower speed Yuri is for Experts and Trolls because of the mind and grind tactic

[@jiayou1534]

Lovely, I spent so much time lifting vehicles to drop on buildings as a kid. Good times.

[@shenxi4545]

I think we can compare it with Prism Tank. Negative: -less effective against structures -can't do anything to enemy infantry(which will appear when you destroy a enemy building) -can't deal damage to enemy vehicle directly -won't attack at all without order -can't damage multiple targets at the same time -not ideal to defend the base Positive: -costs 200$ less -can do something tricky to enemy vehicles Well I think I'd better try to capture some Prism Tanks for final attack instead

[@Quadrolithium]

Positive: Will save your vehicle's asses. The poor man's Chronosphere, you wont go far, and you wont go fast but at least you can skip cliffs or bodies of water. I had my ass saved by Yuri team mate using this. Magnetron an MCV to cross a river that your Tanya just blew out the bridge? Those are the times.

[@ME262MKI]

I remember Magnetron has even greater range once its locked in a target, specially a structure

[@MrPathorn]

It would be cool if Magnetron can lift Tesla trooper

[@moonhoop5210]

[@MyRocktail]

I remember the elite Magnetron has shorter attack range.

[@KirovReporting]

From where did you get that info? O_o

[@joshrobbinsditto3055]

You probably have the same problem that I have with my units.. if you set them to attack a unit they will go closer than they farthest attack range than if you just set them up and let them shoot themselves.. It's very annoying as sometimes I've set units to attack and they die from their buildings grr

Josh Robbins I can remember there was a Mental omega mission, that is using magnetron to rescue vehicles over broken bridges, cad use strong anti-air units to attack lifted enemies

[@joshrobbinsditto3055]

I would also love to know if a Chrono Miner can still teleport while in mid air please? TIP: Lift up their Miner once they dock to drop off minerals.. then drop it straight away.. Both the miner and the Building explode. Very quick way to level the playing field.

[@KILAH4716]

The unit is entirely disabled and helpless while airborne. If the Chrono Miner lands safely, it can chrono back to the refinery immediately, teleporting away from further danger.

[@mwperk02]

minerals? Have you been playing starcraft.

[@AxellMorren]

Unless its battle fortress. Because the unit considered as Garrison Buildings

[@Iamthedudeman00]

So iron curtain is a black hole it will suck up bullets, laser or even tanks dropped from the air alike.

Magnetron is NOT for casuals. Casuals, when playing Yuri, use Gatlings and Lashers(sometimes Masterminds), but never Magnetron, despite being useful against Navy(oh, and Casuals spam Boomers on "with water"(?) maps).

I imagine if this were in RA 3, this unit could be switched from attract to repel. that would be a good defensive measure, push away tanks so the infantry will have to charge alone.

[@Rusted_Commander]

If only a Yuri faction existed (or could have given to the soviets since they have the technology of magnetic beams used in the hammer and apocalypse tanks in ra3, which can also be used to make their own version of magnetron)

[@60beat23]

Year 2019 but we Still play this game LoL:D this game is a legend

[@Daniel-gz1nf]

Wow. I either forgot, or never knew, that magnetrons damaged buildings. I always thought they were a bad novelty unit to make enemy tanks vulnerable to mind control and Gatling tanks/turrets.

[@aceboogie711]

Do all vehicles that drop cause same damage ? Like dropping big vehiclebs less

[@KILAH4716]

Only if dropped ontop of a unit or structure, or on impassible terrain for that particular unit.

[@血朧]

mmm... Can anti-air weapons attack lifted vehicles? And do anti-air units deal more damage to lifted vehicles?

[@RappyGrinder]

AA can attack lifted units and Yuri's base defenses are mostly AA so they get extra range while attacking those lifted units. As for damage it seems just like normal damage to me

[@CnCDune]

@@RappyGrinderI think he meant something along the lines of "Does a AA-only Patriot Missile site attack airborne units?"

[@KILAH4716]

@@RappyGrinder I've always felt the unit was weaker while it was airborne, but that might be because the unit was in a helpless state, where if it wasn't, then the tables would obviously be turned. Still, though, I can't help but feel a Gatling unit, especially a Tank, deals more damage as it is now technically an "air unit" instead of just a ground vehicle. Partially why I was requesting more testing to be done with the Magnetron.

[@danagoyette7932]

Also try dropping ships on bridges. It was years ago, but I seem to recall the ships actually surviving that.

[@louievelayo4100]

As Yuri's "artillery" unit, it's useful... In general though, Magnetron is just situational...

[@johnserosanguineous1886]

Maybe if Yuri had his own campaign missions I'd know how to properly use the damned things.

[@diabloarmofhell6710]

you cannot defeat me! because my tank and base are plastic :)

[@Iamthedudeman00]

it kills two units at a time when lifting units ? Over powered much? Not to mention it kills miners and other high valuable units fast when used right, it may seems to be weak against structures but let us not forget it doesn't seem to take much time to cool down and has a decent range....

[@joshrobbinsditto3055]

You lift up a miner while they are dropping off Ore.. then drop them.. Both the miner and the Ore Refinery are destroyed ;)

[@danielwang2956]

"Little to no micromanagement"? The damn thing doesn't even automatically engage enemies

[@wilt1435]

can magnetron lift magnetron? what if you try to lift a magnetron while it is lifting? what about lifting a ship while squid is attacking it? can you lift yuri prime's hover chair? what if you lift parked harrier or black eagle? what about very low flying nighthawks?

[@tg.Sacred]

A magnetron can lift another Magnetron. If it was lifting a vehicle, the vehicle will simply fall down like a stop order was given. You can't lift Yuri Prime. It will be released from Giant Squid. Harriers will be lifted like any other vehicle and will be destroyed when landed. Don't know about low flying vehicles.

[@anhminhdiep1650]

This map you used for testing, I noticed you have everything unlocked. That would take ages to do over and over for experiments so i guess you have your modified maps for this purpose. Is it possible for you to upload it

Hey, no I haven't modded anything as I have no clue on how to do. But perhaps I can upload a save file where I have converted all enemy buildings. This is how I am doing the tests every time.

[@MrDaldagnuur]

magnetron gets owned hard by battlefortress. BF is the only tank that shoots while getting lifted

If you drop a slave miner in water while its slaves are out and following it, I seem to recall the slaves turning neutral, not joining your side.

What about magnetron vs magnetron

[@CactusUwU1]

Im always asking myself how a SMALL truck could transform into a BIG structure... Edit:I watch some video about the transforming mcv and i now know that they are big

[@GurgleOneSixSix]

Heavier units do more damage than lighter ones when dropped on top of buildings. Terror drones do little, flak tracks moderate, grizzlies heavy, Rhinos extreme, and MCVs destroy just about everything. But what determines the damage they do? There is no internal weight value of units as far as I know. Is it their Strength (aka health) value?

[@minecrafthamody3082]

Tip: *pressing "Z" on the keyboard is the shortcut of that flag something*

There should be a mod that adds interactions between Tesla Troopers/Coils/Tanks and Magnetrons, like friendly tesla units can power up their range or structure damage, or enemy magnetrons can be short-circuited/EMPed by Tesla units. Plus Tesla troopers should be vulnerable to the Magnetron. Also, maybe the reason the Magnetron causes lifted helicopters to make a death quote is because they might die, if they were enemies? I noticed you only tested on your own troops. Also, while I'm all for unit flexibility, lifting terror drones and dropping them right next to an undefended Magnetron is about as suicidal as you can get. LOL
