Unit Guide: Multigunner IFV | Red Alert 3

I promised, and I now deliver 😎 Check out my new game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2503550/Operation_Octo/ (DEMO also available in Arabic and Turkish)

[@volknetai.3690]

3:55 Unlike in RA2. If repair IFV are put on "Guard mode" ( the G button ) It will seek its petiants and if it fully repaired it will seek another until there are no longer damage vehicle in its guard range. To which it stop and waiting if any are come within its vicinity

[@louievelayo4100]

Cryo IFVs are more nuts that I thought

Who wouldn't have guessed? 😅

[@felixleong61]

​@@pulDag Short Answer : Because Allies.

[@xyhc-cnc]

Cryo had to expand its power ❄️ to shoot even air... so that it can terrorize the Premier who has escaped upwards...

[@volknetai.3690]

@@felixleong61 While their trade off was like supposedly slower to expand *In the intended way* ( with Prospector. But MCV will do just fine anyway ) And limited access to high tier units which it require upgraded MCV/Prospector, Which should work if the T1 units are not the absolute crack to begin with

[@pulDag]

@@volknetai.3690 I would say proper like "sc2 pro level" micro and Terror drones with Hammers are the counter.

Multi Gunner. The definition of Motorized Infantry combat. Perfect when you invest more on infantry.

[@rektbiich4585]

Yet another amazing allied unit that is beyond versatile and costs 800, while bulfrogs cost 900 :DDDDD i would love for some allies fix patch, in which their units arent as crazily costly efficient as they currently are. IFV for 800 does more overall than bulfrogs that cost 900, Riptide does more than tengu + yari, outclassing even Cycles , and costing the LEAST among the 3 anti-inf units,while also being giga versatile and having the carry passengers ability. In an ideal world, Ifv will be at least 900, Riptide must be 1000 with how versatile and tanky it is , Cycle should be 750. Overall Soviets always get the short end of balance, with TwinBlades , Hammers and TERRORDRONE being their only cost-efficient units(especially terror) , empire seems to have the best balance between unit strength and its cost, and Allies are just cheap for absolutely no reason, while being the only class to have counter to absolutely every single unit/strategy in the game

Yuriko IFV is the new meta in team games!

[@CnCDune]

8:21 this is on par with RA2, where Flak-IFV couldn't target air, IIRC. 8:38 unfortunately, in RA2 it's impossible too :( Has to do with the fact that Tesla Coils are "over-powered" via a special, secondary weapon - but the IFV doesn't use Primary and Secondary, it uses different keys to set its weapons due to its shifting nature and can only use *one* specific weapon based on the infantry inside. It's really only an engine-limitation in RA2; would love to know why it doesn't work in RA3, tho - anyone know RA3's inner-workings who can share how "over-powering" Tesla Coils works, and why the Tesla IFV can't do the job? 9:04 if you want to be technical, it should be "Cow IFV" because the OP weapon in question is called "CowShot" :P 12:11 this is on par with RA2 - there, each Infantry is assigned a number that tells the game which weapon from the IFV's weapon-list is to be picked if that Infantry is loaded in first. I say loaded in first because, if the IFV were to have more than one Passenger slot via mod or custom map, only the first Infantry that enters the vehicle will affect the weapon until that infantry is ejected - which must be manually ordered *after* the other passengers have already been ejected. Based on what I can see in Mental Omega, a popular RA2-mod, it seems the game also accepts weapon-switches via Vehicles, so long as they too have a weapon-select-number, and the vehicle accepts Vehicles as passengers because it has enough slots *and* its SizeLimit is high enough for the Vehicle to fit. 12:20 again, just like RA2 - it is still the IFV itself doing the firing, the passenger just sets the weapon and is taken for a ride... 13:45 on par with anime/cartoon characters being completely immune to any and all damage during their transformation sequences. I'm very disappointed they didn't make time stop for everyone and everything else during the transformation too :P IMO, I think this is caused by a minor over-sight.

[@xyhc-cnc]

nice catch!

[@xyhc-cnc]

hahaha anime transformation sequence needs to be a feature of RA3! Every time Cryo shows up at your doorstep, time also needs to stop to have this music play kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGcmZuOl9h1b8U as Cryo recites the evil motto of the dark side

[@emzzz8180]

tbf in Anime transformations it's either split second, they evade it during transformation, or they're barrier shielded... Mecha Tengu Transformation neither has those so it's basically Imperial Japanese Sorcery at this point or maybe the better word for it is NANOSWARM MAGIC

[@CnCDune]

@@emzzz8180 I grew up watching TF Armada, Energon and Cybertron - that's what they did whenever someone transformed; time stops (two or more combine to one) or it's a split second (changing robot/vehicle mode)

Dog ifv can stun megabears from uprising, though! Ifv is fastest aa, can target air and ground, has modular gun... What even is balance?

[@ovalcircle2648]

Did not know just how bad the Javelin IFV is. I noticed the long reload time, but I thought it fired more rockets per volley.

[@Gencrossbones]

Now i wonder if you can make all the hammer tank secondary weapons. Since Hammer tanks is just a tank version of the IFV but needs to kill another vehicle (the soviets can easily get double hammer, hammer and sickle, V4 Hammer, apoc hammer, flak hammer and my personal favorite tesla hammer easily though)

[@xyhc-cnc]

Request received and done - I speedrunned the video editing just for ya ;)

[@Gencrossbones]

@@xyhc-cnc now we're talking. I wouldn't mind if you take your time though. You can't rush perfection afterall. I do want people to remember that Hammer tanks can steal weapons and soviet players can make flak hammers so at least the hammer tanks can defend themselves from things like Rocket angels, Stiker VX, one or two cryocoppers and twinblades and Tesla hammers are the biggest middle finger to Tanya and does quite a bit of damage to vehicles and buildings even though its range is slightly shorter than the main gun. And soviets has the construction crane which refunds some of the money that you used to make the sacrificial vehicle just make sure the hammer tank leech beam property on the sacrificial vehicle before sending it to the grinders.

[@xyhc-cnc]

They did nerf cryocopter’s freeze speed and range by HALF during beta The last official balance patch for vanilla (after uprising’s release) nerfed cryo’s hp by 20%

[@maple1234567890321]

@@xyhc-cnc right! I remember that during the beta patch since I had the disc version before. I was wondering if the devs did not realize that one shoting a frozen unit would be OP. Why did they not make that a frozen unit will take extra damage or something.

[@squishymusic9723]

(Obligatory allies OP comment) Great vid, I always appreciate the detail you go to. I still don't get why they made the Jav IFV so terrible. That last comment about Allied Synergy, yh that is the design philosophy I really like in RA3 that the allies do best. Its just a shame that the allies units seem to balanced without that in mind. Leading to their intended strategies being so OP. The IFV having subpar AA would be fine since the unit is extremely versatile and can be buffed by blackhole armour or aegis shield .... but then it isn't.

[@MenwithHill]

Man, I didn't expect so many of those to be this terrible.

[@xyhc-cnc]

Whoever was in charge of making IFV weapons got lazzzy. It’d have been easy to modify those codes. But most likely, in a big corporation like EA, making the tiniest, most insignificant changes (or even fix) would require you to go through a process (the devs left comment in IFV weapons about doing “casey” if you want to change blah blah blah) and get approved first. Hence the team could have way less fun while making this game 😢 Easier to just leave most weapons as they were I’ve heard irl stories where someone complained that it’d take WAY less time for them to simply fix a bug than the amount of time they’d spend first filing a case for it. The surprise dinosaur content two RA1 devs made on their own time in secret could never happen nowadays.
