thanks to your videos, i beat all the levels under par. rising sun is definitely the most versatile for quick missions. there's dojo rush, vx rush, engineer sudden transport, and shogun battleship fleet tactic.
You must assign one FutureTank to one tower. Also make sure that they attack at the same time. after the attack you MUST drive them back, for the Riot Beam to recharge. Then do it again. You take first two prism towers, then the second two.
Ohw wow you could destroy the prism towers just like that XD. I thougt the designers placed them there to prevent futurtank rush, so I retreated after I saw them. I probably underestimated the power of future tanks.
CrazyoneRA3 u r the person with the best time in commanders challege OVERALL in PC version, while I am the one with the best time in XBOX 360 version! ; )
@BlackEagle351 Challenge-specific settings, like the unlimited Commando units thing from the "The Omega Program" challenge, where one unlocks Yuriko Omega. This is the reason the 4 Futuretanks already exist for the player.
@MarkJoel60 Thanks for the kind words. What I do is that I waypoint the Future Tanks. But first, I set them up so that they will take out the two spectrum towers (or teslas) simultaneously, that way each tower will only hit each tank one time and they will survive and autorepair. Next I set the future tank to attack with their secondary attack on the spectrum towers by a waypoint (hold ALT). Then I waypoint a move command to move away from the towers.
Continuing: Then I take out the towers on the other side of the map in the same way. Then I go back to the first two tanks and take out the last two towers in the same way. By switching back and forth, the tanks have time to repair. You see the process from 1:25 (except the destruction of the towers, because then I start microing the tanks on the other side of the map). It is essential to keep all four future tanks alive, otherwise - it is hard to finish the challenge in less than 5 minutes.
I use the key "w", I think it is default. You must choose one VX, then hit "w" you get all VXs on the screen. Hit "w" once more and get all VXs on the map. Then Ctrl+1, if you want them in group 1.
hey how do i select my engineers and harvestors. i cant do so with q since Q doesnt include them. my best way currently is to select one and use w. but that means i have to find an engineer of mine first. how do i resolve this issue.
Hi! I hope u still remember about RA3. It is good to play as russians this one also - rush two land bases simultaneusly with Future Tanks, then transport them on islands with Twin Blades, I have 5:03 on that one.
I did this under par as Soviets using The Future Tanks,Twinblades and Migs. It sucks that i lost all the future tanks (Damn Vindicators and Cryocopters) but destroyed both Hill and Lydia's Conyards after that i focused on Giles since he builds Proton Colliders using Migs to camp his airbases on each of his base then Twinblades finish the job. Once both his bases is destroyed finish the left overs of Hill and Lydia's when all the future tanks were destroyed and not yet defeated
actually i only tried this tactic once and didnt make it before i saw the vid but I tried again after i saw this vid and i actually got it. hehe thanks for the vid.
You use the riot beam, their secondary ability. It one-shots most buildings, except the Construction Yard. At 2:45 I use two future tanks to take out the ConYard of Purple/Pink with the riot beam. Just use the same on the spectrum towers.
I always feel like an idiot after watching these videos. I forgot that the riot gun special weapon could tear down a building. Once I saw that, I was able to get unstuck on this level. I love watching you play though.
this looks like fun, because i finished the Command and conquers, tiberum and kanes wrath and everything else i honestly need this or something, and down the line i'd get the red alert itself but this seems good enough
Just for the credits and I dont need it anymore. Building anything else is a waste of credits. Also I get an engineer which either a) serves as a great target for the vindicators or b) captures an oil derrick.
Tips if some of you choose to rush unsuccessfully: choose Japan faction, quickly build 2 gold factories then build war factory. Don't bother to defend gold factories. Next quickly build 6 or 8 mecha tango flying unit. Get 2 of them for each gold factories to guard. Then you see the blue mother***** stop bombing you for awhile. Get the next 2 gold factories on the south side of your base with same tactic then build some metatango and attack missile flying machines then rush to the bases.
Love Your vids! It's like a Master Class in Rush Warfare... I have no idea how you are microing your Future tanks, tho. When I try that, the Telsas take down at least one of my robots. But you set them to attack and leave them alone, and they take out the telsas while you are on something else... Is there some special planning move you do there or something? (I know you are using the special attack... but how are the other telsas not killing you?)

@TSMK900 As did I. I think there is a video response above where I have done Future Warfare in 4:53 . If you cant find it there just search for future warfare and crazyonera3 in the youtube search field.
@JointScorrer I experienced that the vindicators (from Giles) were more interested in bombing my ore refinery to kingdom come.. What are your timings relative to mine and whose vindicators bomb your future tanks? If it is from the owners of the spectrum turrets, I think you can manage to get inside to their base faster and target fire the airfield (if it built, if not target fire war factory with one tank's secondary ability, barracks and then mcv with the other tank's secondary ability).
I too can't manage to accomplish this feat, I either get my tanks blown up by the towers, or failing that I suddenly have to fight off 8 vindicators and my mecha bay isn't done yet. Usually I have both problems at once. I guess I just don't have the great macro required to do this mission :(
Man, I wish this strategy worked for me. I've watched this like 10 times and I still can't figure out how come your FutureTanks survive the Prism Towers. I swear, my Riot Beams are glitched or something lol
@CrazyOneRA3 When i did this, i used the soviets and called in the twin blades to transport the future tanks to the bases on the east and west to destroy their bases.
Even The future tanks are useless in this challenge . My opinion is to grind them trust me build a crusher crane and grind the 4 future tanks and the mcv too you will get a lot of money .the crane returns 75% of the cost which means you will get 9000 credits From the future tanks and 3750 from the MCV
@J0sh258 I bet you used the Red Alert button. When you use that button, your time is automatically set to 99:59. If you want the actual time to count, do not use the Red Alert button.
@CrazyOneRA3 I have a question.... If Future Tank X-1 is not yet available once the Commander's Challenge "Future Warfare" must be completed, how come there are already 2 sets of Future Tanks during the start of the game?
I don't get it - why do the Spectrum Towers destroy my Future Tanks but not yours? Yours seem to move... faster, somehow. They only have one speed, y'know. Also, how would you do this with the Allies?
Japan is the fastest in most of the stages among the three factions,but in this stage Soviet can be faster. Build some twinblade and carry the X-1 to the islands and they will finish them off in about a minute
err i finished this one but i cant seem to do anymore...stuck at 94% am i meant to get under par for everything to go on or something? (i really suck at the gold mine is going to collapse or something...i tried to use so many methods but she kept on building SOOOO many so i was like wtf)
@CrazyOneRA3 i always found them easyer because of the armor that is a yes but for a tsunami to be effective it needs to be in a group which takes time to make
You can actually just riot beam the first 2 towers and go straight in you will take 2 extra hits but with enough microing you will have all ur future tanks with heroic and 65%ish also use soviet twin blade to bring ur future tanks to Giles it really hells
How do you get both tanks to use the riot beam at the same time? I keep having only 1 use it! This mission isn't worth the reward to me so I'm not gonna waste the time at this any further.
I dont know why you have problems with them. I just choose one future tank and uses its secondary ability (by hiting F) on the tower. Done and done. At the same time, I do the same for the next tower. Then I move back. When the secondary ability has cooled down, I repeat with the next two towers. You are sure you use the secondary ability (the two beams) and not the primary ability (the ball of energy)?
dude, what is the hotkey for calling newly produced units from your far away base to join the attacking group of the same units (like all VX choppers) so that they could attack the enemy's base?
EA is weird. They make the Apocalypse Tanks sound like robots in this game, and the Future Tanks don't and they actually are robots. I also find it surprising that a unit used by a good faction has such a menacing voice, but oh well.
thats what i do but i have it for the 360 you dont have a mouse and you cand hit the f buttion its very diffrent in it takes a while to do esspeshally if your trying to make 1 of your 50 units do something diffrent than the rest of trying to make units use powers on diffrent targets
:P build the chopper vx (they can shoot anti air) and mechs tennus then make them all into air mode and rush their base, then press the red alert button
thanks to your videos, i beat all the levels under par. rising sun is definitely the most versatile for quick missions. there's dojo rush, vx rush, engineer sudden transport, and shogun battleship fleet tactic.

My total time is 02:59:57 and I stopped there. I'm below 3 hours and happy about it.
Ohw wow you could destroy the prism towers just like that XD. I thougt the designers placed them there to prevent futurtank rush, so I retreated after I saw them. I probably underestimated the power of future tanks.

On PC, I hold the left mouse button in, move the mouse (and turning the building), then release.
I always feel like an idiot after watching these videos. I forgot that the riot gun special weapon could tear down a building. Once I saw that, I was able to get unstuck on this level.
I love watching you play though.
i know the " ctrl+'0-9' " thing. but the "w" thing, thank you dude!!!
Just noticed, at 1:35 you see the riot beam killing off a spectrum tower - just use 1 future tank pr spectrum tower.
It's just great to use the futuretank there. With soviets I've got the time down to 4:53. I'll get the video up after I've written my master thesis.
this looks like fun, because i finished the Command and conquers, tiberum and kanes wrath and everything else i honestly need this or something, and down the line i'd get the red alert itself but this seems good enough

could you play this challenge as Allied?
I Like this Castle my friends. This Map is Great. Thanks.

Future Tank = Rise of the Machine
@grip07PM Well, you must finish all. Not under par, but just finish. Note that it is important to not use the red alert button.
@UBITACNU I agree completely, I hated it before I manage to pull this strategy off!
Dur... it's even better than the apoc tank. :P
I too can't manage to accomplish this feat, I either get my tanks blown up by the towers, or failing that I suddenly have to fight off 8 vindicators and my mecha bay isn't done yet. Usually I have both problems at once. I guess I just don't have the great macro required to do this mission :(
There must be some sort of key configuration or key overview in the menu, example options -> controls. If not, then I dont know.
I figured you did, but I just threw the grouping (ctrl+0-9) in for consistency :)
Man, I wish this strategy worked for me.
I've watched this like 10 times and I still can't figure out how come your FutureTanks survive the Prism Towers.
I swear, my Riot Beams are glitched or something lol

future tank useless? use twin blade drop them on enemy base one shot building. remember damage to buildings 1 future tank = 10 twin blades
@J0sh258 I bet you used the Red Alert button. When you use that button, your time is automatically set to 99:59. If you want the actual time to count, do not use the Red Alert button.
@CrazyOneRA3
I have a question....
If Future Tank X-1 is not yet available once the Commander's Challenge "Future Warfare" must be completed, how come there are already 2 sets of Future Tanks during the start of the game?
Probably not coincidence that the Future Tanks kinda sound like ED-209
Ya that's what I thought heh, I don't think there's another reason to sell your Con yard heh
I don't get it - why do the Spectrum Towers destroy my Future Tanks but not yours?
Yours seem to move... faster, somehow. They only have one speed, y'know.
Also, how would you do this with the Allies?
is it possible to put weak scouts like bears to stall the vidictors so they'll target them instead of your generators?
nice
Good God, now im scared of the future tanks!
Japan is the fastest in most of the stages among the three factions,but in this stage Soviet can be faster.
Build some twinblade and carry the X-1 to the islands and they will finish them off in about a minute
Sounds good except it doesnt seem to work...
This strategy works although it took me 15:36 min because I took my time building VX and Tengu but it's still under par.
Maybe you're using the emergency button? I've noticed that if we use that button, the time go 99:99 exact
err i finished this one but i cant seem to do anymore...stuck at 94%
am i meant to get under par for everything to go on or something?
(i really suck at the gold mine is going to collapse or something...i tried to use so many methods but she kept on building SOOOO many so i was like wtf)
@CrazyOneRA3 i always found them easyer because of the armor that is a yes but for a tsunami to be effective it needs to be in a group which takes time to make
man the motherland was nothing compared to this. this is the only challenge i am not able to finish
and now?
Loook at the first video response, there I use the soviets and gets it done in 4:53
oh. i meant Apocalypse in an x-men tv series that i don't remember. LOL
What is your total time for all the challges combined CrazyOneRA3?
This level is brutal. Im beating all the other ones under par time. I havent even attempted this one. Its absoulutley brutal
You can actually just riot beam the first 2 towers and go straight in you will take 2 extra hits but with enough microing you will have all ur future tanks with heroic and 65%ish also use soviet twin blade to bring ur future tanks to Giles it really hells
Thank you!
@kylesico912 @MyDogFlippy But those approaches take more time, right? I want to do it as fast as possible :)
How do you get both tanks to use the riot beam at the same time? I keep having only 1 use it! This mission isn't worth the reward to me so I'm not gonna waste the time at this any further.
I dont know why you have problems with them. I just choose one future tank and uses its secondary ability (by hiting F) on the tower. Done and done.

dude, what is the hotkey for calling newly produced units from your far away base to join the attacking group of the same units (like all VX choppers) so that they could attack the enemy's base?
Wondering...did you sell your Conyard just for a quick credit giver, or did you have another reason????
EA is weird. They make the Apocalypse Tanks sound like robots in this game, and the Future Tanks don't and they actually are robots. I also find it surprising that a unit used by a good faction has such a menacing voice, but oh well.
@CrazyOneRA3 Your username must mean something, 'cause your methods are scary.
How do you do it so well?
just wanna to ask, y you sold the MCV?
or apocalypse's voice from x-men, not on the same red alert 3's voice.
Dude ur a boss
Thanks! :)
What thesis are you working on?
@Nbsimons18 try using riot beam on any ground unit.you will see the results then
@MyDogFlippy i find it easyer with soveits because hammer tanks do more damage and have more armor at the very least
thats what i do but i have it for the 360 you dont have a mouse and you cand hit the f buttion its very diffrent in it takes a while to do esspeshally if your trying to make 1 of your 50 units do something diffrent than the rest of trying to make units use powers on diffrent targets
i needed 100 try's but i won ^^ in 10 min :D thank you
tnx for the hit dude... tnx a lot ^_^
@alan14756 I sell it because I do not need it anymore, but I do need cash. Selling the MCV generates an instant 2500 + an engineer.
How many attempts to get the right one lol?those future tanks fail hard.
:P build the chopper vx (they can shoot anti air) and mechs tennus then make them all into air mode and rush their base, then press the red alert button
DriftyWings By pressing Red Alert you forfeit the speedrun time
Lel , he presses the red alert button because he's a noob Lel. I watch him before I even start playing the challenge because I'm retarded .ಥʖ̯ಥ
how did u get lost of that ridiculous yellow line around units?
Augis Kancleris lower graphics settings
It takes some practice. But once you got it under your skin, it's doable :)
there is no game manual for this, its from live arcade
man everytime I want to destroy the spectrum towers my tank dies....
how do you keep destroying the towers so easly evrytime i destroy them they blow up in 4 shoots
Well, what can I say..? Try again. You know just must drive them away again, because the tanks are within range to the other towers..?
you are the boss
This looks harder than the Motherland but Motherland was still hard
Why don't my Future tanks destroy the Basedefence? Not even 1! No matter if i use Riot Beams or not, they just get killed...
So is Future tank good?
you need to use there special ability that destroys them
Funny how you can use those tanks to just roll into their base. Should just start with 2 instead of 4 future tanks. 4 is too strong.
have 4:53 - what did you get?
I just rocket angel spam in all directions.
waiting for oil to complete, nothing to do anw..
I agree :)
They do not sound like Apocalypse.
use the ability of the tank to destroy towers fast
DAT GRAPHICS @_@
Check out my video future video 4:53, I do just that.
