@@blackashkore1195 Since most faction's only have 2 tanks (compared to Russia's 3) I left the Sentinel out of this comparison. I chose the Golem due to its similar cost. I'll be putting the Sentinel in another video.
To all the folks saying Golem is too good - this was without pushing the "I am untargetable for 8 seconds" button. But for real - between all those tanks, only Golem is a pure frontline tank. Paladin has a potent utility that hard-counters a wide array of very nasty units, and belongs to a faction that is known for it's airforce, not tanks; Marauder is a hit-and-run, just like about everything GLA has; Jaggmammut is simply closest ECA has for an advanced tank - it simply doesn't have a true one, it's a faction that relies on hard counters and static defenses to stall until protocols are available; and Overlord, the only tank that actually costs more and can outperform Golem, has huge utility in it's individual upgrades. Golem has to perform very well to be anywhere near worth using, especially in a game where being in a right spot is worth a lot more than having a bigger gun.
@@Alpostpone Jagdmammuts slaughter lower-tiered tanks, you saw them pretty much kill Marauders and Paladin's with just 2 salvos of 4 shells. Its against heavier tanks they struggle with and that's not to be unexpected, even then they can still do significant amounts of damage. The only tanks they can't 1vs1 are Overlords, Golems and Sentinels.
True. Russia don't have strong protocols and only so-so static defense. Their SuperWeapon aren't as good as ECA and their air force aren't as good as USA. Their tanks have to do the hard job.
Marauder Tanks are surprisingly the strongest Tanks when fully upgraded and scrapped to max. The only thing it doesn't have unlike the other Tanks is that it's unable to turn their canon
@Russian Bot Blyat Blyot Lore-wise, this takes place 10 years after the events of Zero Hour, where the US went back to isolationism after they got their asses kicked by the GLA. Because of this, US tech isn't as advance as it once was since some of the tech required to make their equipment was imported. This made the "powerful but expensive units" niche empty, this is where the Russians filled it.
@Russian Bot Blyat Blyot Crusaders felt quite decent for their class, though the Paladins just felt like a slight upgrade from the crusaders and it doesn't really feel fair to pair up with the Overlords. Plus, the US has more air power to compensate. Haven't played the new factions but they look imbalanced.
@Russian Bot Blyat Blyot In C&C General timeline: USA focuses on speed and versatility over armor and firepower (Also has the best airpower). Especially in RoTR which changes the USA focuses on the mirage of drone units and very powerful infantry base support units. So their armor is weaker and relied on speed rather than the vanilla one (which America has the highest armor and expensive units)
11:02 the sheer amount of disrespect from that Overlord. Not only it wasnt even close, he decided to assert his dominance by crushing the poor Paladin beneath his tracks.
I'm guessing the Sentinel isn't included because it's simply too strong compared to the others? Being 50% more expensive than the Overlord base and Russia's epic unit basically just being a missile and an arena sentinel duct-taped together with a bit of extra thermobaric spice and a shtora? With the same applying to the Black Bear and Manticore. After all the Golem already stomps on everything but an Overlord with an attachment as-is.
Yes, since most faction's only have 2 tanks I decided to use the Golem due to its similar price. I'll be using the Sentinel in another video. All factions are supposed to be getting their own epic in the next ROTR's version (1.9) and I'll be comparing them when they come out.
In the Paladin's and Crusader's case, it makes the main gun hold fire, which prevents friendly fire when crushing infantry; the Golem's machine guns can effectively ward off lone helicopters and shorten fights with infantry; and the Jagdmammut and Leopard can just straight up kill infantry with ease (especially in groups of 3 or more.) So they each have a use case, however small.
For real. I genuinely laughed out loud when during the Timelapse at 10:13 two basic Un-upgraded USA Rangers are able to destroy a Paladin from full health before the Jagdmammut is able to even destroy the defenseless powerplant. I feel like the Paladin and the Crusader machine guns are so weak they’re bordering on being an actual mistake of a misplaced decimal point in the damage code. Literally weaker than starting infantry.
It balances out because they aren't that great when it comes to mobile anti air and all they infantry atm outside shock troops aren't that great. They units also cost alot to make and like the other poster said slow. You littreally need an industrial plant

There's just no way to fit the breech(es) and the crew to handle ammunition. You could make that caliber work as a demolition mortar, but those are way shorter than cannons as is their ammo.
I think you'd better added the last heavy tank to the list, like Sentinel, Shenlong or even GP ones - BlackBear and Manticore.

A Paladin tank gains veterancy faster and with the Hold The Line strategy activated in the Strategy Center (which isn't included here, weird, because it's basically a free buff because you will always build a Strategy Center to even build the Paladin in the first place), the heroic Paladin with composite armor approaches 80%(?) the tankiness of an unupgraded Russian Sentinel (iirc what Mizu said in the forums back in version 1.86 days) with less of the pathfinding problems. You don't know pain until an enemy Jadgmammut squad are firing on your Sentinels while only two of your five Sentinels are firing back because the other three are struggling to get into position to even fire in the first place.

Though I think the Jagdpanzer should be the strongest 1 on 1 considering it's completely specialized for that and is much less versatile. I think it should be given a resistence against shells so that you need missiles to take them down and can't really overpower them with tank collumns.
@@gautheuil6210 I don't think so because the Jagdpanzer can't really damage building or infantry. It also is slow to engage since it's slow moving and has no turret so you can go around it and if you don't have other units with it the Jagdpanzer can turn fairly useless. But it should be a unit where you can't win by throwing tanks at it head-on.
The Jagtmammut feels very underpowered considering it's supposed to be a anti-armor specialist. I would think it should be able to beat the others in one on one battle but the others are more versatile.
That's probably because it's a horrible idea to send a Jagd alone, it's best used as a Support unit with Leopards distracting the enemy, it's Piercing ability can also be potentially nasty against Tank blobs or lines (which is VERY common) especially in larger numbers
@@Randomgamer-di3ow I think it would be a lot more interesting if the Jagt punishes those that sent tanks in on their own. That they can cost effectively beat every tank in the game. But deal pretty much no damage to infantry and substandard damage to light vehicles.

The Jagdpanzer is a very specialized unit so it should be extremely good at that 1 thing.

Maybe the one exception being the Sentinel since it's so expensive and very specialized itself. But the Overlord is mainly a support unit rather than a combat unit.
I ran the test again and got the same result. All USA buildings do self-repair. It seems the Jagdmammut attacks just slow enough to trigger the building's self-repair unlike the rest of the tanks. Either way the Jagdmammut does very poorly against buildings.

its more of a "lore " reason actually but yea those coax machine guns suck a lot they deal 1 dmg literally 1 dmg i suppose russian one is a small bit better since it deals i think uhh 2 -3 dmg but yea the machine guns are there bc they have lore really lol if you want then i can give you the 2 lore ones i know about
@@artyom1264 the usa ones suck because of the isolationist laws and in order to reduce friendly fire the russian ones suck because ( as far as i know ) since they declared war on the european faction they got blocked from buying the good machine guns that and the russians wanted a machine gun that can shoot helicopters and stuff but in order to do that they needed the machine gun to aim higher which meant they had to reduce the machine guns caliber severly thats the lore i know although could be false ofc
Dam the Paladin really needs some work on Especially considering how the US is gonna get an armor general and for a tank with the lore designation "M1A4" youd think it would be able to deal with the scrap pile of a Marauder
This is set in the Generals timeline, where the US withdrew into isolation and stopped getting resource imports from other countries. As such they couldn't field the Abrams as it is in our world. It's also a video game, and it would be busted if the US had the best base infantry, best tanks, and best air.
@@spikem5950 Actually the Paladin is the direct replacement of the Abrams or to be more correct in the lore it is a modified version of the Abrams. Also the US does still have the best infantry in the game, ranger still just about claps every other infantry in the game quite reliably (unless its a felin with venom protocol and inside a garrisson) and dont forget about the Seal, pathfinder, enforcer and vanguard. Also i guess the paladin was did dirty here a bit, as it does look very lacking on its own but things change the second you add other variables, such as numbers, upgrades, passive buffs ( strategy center ) and how it plays along with other units, especially the avenger. Also it renders most missile based attacks useless with its PDL, i dont know if it still has the ability to one shot infantry that gets to close with its PDL like its vanilla counterpart, but the repair drone is plenty anti infantry, that and it can safely go crush infantry due to it not shooting its maingun and instead firing its coaxial machinegun instead, so you dont get situations where you kill your own tank thats being attacked by your other tanks for trying to crush the infantry. That and i do agree if the Paladin was even more potent it would make the US faction too OP.
@@Frost-01 I said they couldn't field the Abrahms as it is in our world, as in, the Paladin is lower quality than IRL Abrahms due to the state of the US in universe and balance reasons. Not that the Paladin isn't the Abrahms. And yeah, the Paladin is pretty good when you factor in other variables. It's just not the most OP thing in the world like in the real world.

Someone can help me? I have C&C Generals Zero Hour and run very good on my PC, you guys know if the Rise of The Reds mod are so much heavy? Like i can run ROTR with the same hardware to run the original game? I have a notebook with I3 10th generation and 8 gb ram
Do you have the game patched with GenPatcher and do you have GenTool installed? GenPatcher fixes a lot of the issues that allow the game to run more smoothly on modern machines. GenTool does some other fixes too and lets you play online. Try those and see if it runs better.
The main factor of lag in ROTR, especially 1.87, is AI. It always spams units and structures alike, which also have higher poly counts (second main factor of lag) compared to vanilla Zero Hour. AI will be better in 1.9 performance-wise, and it will not cheat blatantly (having cash injections every idk seconds). In multiplayer with no AI, your device should handle well though.
For sentinel the only thing that can head on with it probably just manticore, unless overlord with bunker with 5 china RPG infantry variant. Even with bunker I think sentinel would still win.
They've always been such, even in base generals. It's why you saw humvees so much. A single humvee upgraded with toe and garrisoned with missile defenders could put out the dps of a dozen crusaders or paladins. SImilarly if you had them upgraded with drones and coupled with am ambulance and maybe even avengers then you got a nasty death ball when search and destroy is activated from the strategy center.

They make the USA micro intensive. I hardly win using USA without using drones and stealth bombe. For the love of god ROTR devs, buff pathfinder please and make SEAL invisible!

It should be able to win cost effectively against pretty much all tanks including the ones more expensive than it. Maybe the one exception being the Sentinel since it's so expensive and very specialized itself. But the Overlord is mainly a support unit rather than a combat unit.
Does this include the American Doctrine bonuses or did they remove that in rise of the reds?
What it was Black Bear (Unique Sentinel) vs Alpha Prime (Unique Apocalypse)?
What about the Russian sentinal tank?
Was it a visual glitch or was the power plant Jagdmammut was attacking the only one being repaired?
Edit: I mean at the first Power Plant Test at 9:40
I ran the test again and got the same result. All USA buildings do self-repair. It seems the Jagdmammut attacks just slow enough to trigger the building's self-repair unlike the rest of the tanks. Either way the Jagdmammut does very poorly against buildings.
@@comm1098 Ahh! It's been too long since I've played C&C:G/ZH so I had forgotten about that Auto-repair feature.
That makes a lot of sense and if I had known about it during the video it would've driven the point home about how poor they are at dealing with buildings.
Thanks a lot for answering my comment and thanks as well for going back and rechecking the results and providing an explanation for it!
AWESOME
The Tank Destroyer and Marauder are actually more similar than the rest. The Paladin is just a powerful Crusader
I wish I could play without the weird water borders on the side of my screen. None of the other mods I use for generals does it and it is very very annoying.
Giving the tanks an anti-infantry machine gun that does absolutely nothing to infantry?
its more of a "lore " reason actually but yea those coax machine guns suck a lot they deal 1 dmg literally 1 dmg i suppose russian one is a small bit better since it deals i think uhh 2 -3 dmg but yea the machine guns are there bc they have lore really lol if you want then i can give you the 2 lore ones i know about
@@RuzgarYldrm-zj9ecI’m interested, I wanna know the lore behind this
@@artyom1264 the usa ones suck because of the isolationist laws and in order to reduce friendly fire the russian ones suck because ( as far as i know ) since they declared war on the european faction they got blocked from buying the good machine guns that and the russians wanted a machine gun that can shoot helicopters and stuff but in order to do that they needed the machine gun to aim higher which meant they had to reduce the machine guns caliber severly thats the lore i know although could be false ofc
@@RuzgarYldrm-zj9ec wow, i never knew that, it’s so cool
It does the same damage as the shells did in vanilla but it stops them from doing splash damage to friendly tanks that infantry are closed to.
Does the Targeteer Drone increase the ROF of the Paladin's point-defense laser as well?
I just attempted this and it does not unfortunately.
@@comm1098 Rats! Well thank you for going the extra mile anyway!
Is that the frigging
WarGames 1998 music
I can only watch these clips since I am a baboon who doesn't know how to install C&C and has no idea of modding.
Yeah I guess the balance is that usa is suppose to have the better air power and indirect firepower
Dam the Paladin really needs some work on
Especially considering how the US is gonna get an armor general and for a tank with the lore designation "M1A4" youd think it would be able to deal with the scrap pile of a Marauder
This is set in the Generals timeline, where the US withdrew into isolation and stopped getting resource imports from other countries. As such they couldn't field the Abrams as it is in our world.
It's also a video game, and it would be busted if the US had the best base infantry, best tanks, and best air.
@@spikem5950 Actually the Paladin is the direct replacement of the Abrams or to be more correct in the lore it is a modified version of the Abrams. Also the US does still have the best infantry in the game, ranger still just about claps every other infantry in the game quite reliably (unless its a felin with venom protocol and inside a garrisson) and dont forget about the Seal, pathfinder, enforcer and vanguard. Also i guess the paladin was did dirty here a bit, as it does look very lacking on its own but things change the second you add other variables, such as numbers, upgrades, passive buffs ( strategy center ) and how it plays along with other units, especially the avenger. Also it renders most missile based attacks useless with its PDL, i dont know if it still has the ability to one shot infantry that gets to close with its PDL like its vanilla counterpart, but the repair drone is plenty anti infantry, that and it can safely go crush infantry due to it not shooting its maingun and instead firing its coaxial machinegun instead, so you dont get situations where you kill your own tank thats being attacked by your other tanks for trying to crush the infantry. That and i do agree if the Paladin was even more potent it would make the US faction too OP.
@@Frost-01 I said they couldn't field the Abrahms as it is in our world, as in, the Paladin is lower quality than IRL Abrahms due to the state of the US in universe and balance reasons. Not that the Paladin isn't the Abrahms.
And yeah, the Paladin is pretty good when you factor in other variables. It's just not the most OP thing in the world like in the real world.
Why not Sentinel? Golem is the advanced tank for General Alexandr, not the regular advanced tank
Russian bias so bold it makes war thunder blush
0:03 mah wall paper lolz
Perfection
The golem tank is look like obj.279!!
Functionally
Jagdmammut is reasonably cheap for anti-vehicle purposes.
But ECA vehicles are nerfed by being the slowest production speed in the mod.
Jagdmammuts tend to roflstomp lower-tiered vehicles.
Make video that compare the helicopter of each faction
Kinda ridiculous US has the weakest tanks. Couldn’t be further from reality if it tried.

@@spikem5950 I understand that but it’s countered by higher prices across the board. The lore reasons for the US being so weak never sat right with me.
@@MultiGamer20211 It's not our timeline. It's as simple as that. Europe wouldn't fall to a terror organization because all those countries have capable militaries too, but it happened in the context of this game's lore setup.
Vruh i need a control bar for rise of the reds mod
am i the only one think on "power plant test" its just unfair for Jagdmammut since the power plant "repair" itself for some reason?
I remember i use chinese tank hunter to destroy Paladin tank i think it works, correct me if im wrong
Correct, the Paladin's laser doesn't intercept their projectiles because the devs made it so that Chinese tank hunters use flak cannons instead of rocket launchers.
The music is very familiar!!! Hmmm 🤔👀
Someone can help me? I have C&C Generals Zero Hour and run very good on my PC, you guys know if the Rise of The Reds mod are so much heavy? Like i can run ROTR with the same hardware to run the original game? I have a notebook with I3 10th generation and 8 gb ram
Do you have the game patched with GenPatcher and do you have GenTool installed? GenPatcher fixes a lot of the issues that allow the game to run more smoothly on modern machines. GenTool does some other fixes too and lets you play online. Try those and see if it runs better.
The main factor of lag in ROTR, especially 1.87, is AI. It always spams units and structures alike, which also have higher poly counts (second main factor of lag) compared to vanilla Zero Hour. AI will be better in 1.9 performance-wise, and it will not cheat blatantly (having cash injections every idk seconds). In multiplayer with no AI, your device should handle well though.
@@Grabacr_KDH thanks your both to the reply
i thought the manticore was the advanced eca tank
Huh strange - music of ECA and eva of GLA?
Long range artilery comparision please
Корпус от Об. 279 и башня от т-90. Голем - совершенная военная машина
30sec build time for the jagdmamut !!!!
This must be changed in the next update , it makes no sense
Also, why is golem so strong. It should be balanced i guess.
lol the overloard is mega imballanced unit with its upgrades and specials like speaker tower and buncka XD
Where can I buy it
21:10 mhm yes "Marader"
For sentinel the only thing that can head on with it probably just manticore, unless overlord with bunker with 5 china RPG infantry variant. Even with bunker I think sentinel would still win.
why TF your ROTR have more effects than mine xD
ummm can you link the map?
Compare advanced AA units next.
anyone else feel like the US' tanks are a bit weak?
They've always been such, even in base generals. It's why you saw humvees so much. A single humvee upgraded with toe and garrisoned with missile defenders could put out the dps of a dozen crusaders or paladins. SImilarly if you had them upgraded with drones and coupled with am ambulance and maybe even avengers then you got a nasty death ball when search and destroy is activated from the strategy center.
I mean there is a reason in the base game no one made them lol
@@thirstyserpent1079 I mean the base game US tanks were pretty great
GLA tanks had no match unless they were fully upgraded.
And overlord were the only thing that were better
But in ROTR they just suck for no reason
Compare the Air Units.
ua-cam.com/video/gRwjUFbFddI/v-deo.html The building was in repair stance!
So in this mod Russia is now represented by two whole factions instead of single one as in base game? Cool;)
There is no Russia as faction in base game
Base game:
GLA
USA
China
RotR mod:
Russia
EU
@@pechkin9474 there is. It's one of main factions alongside China and USA.
@@TheArklyte you mean GLA, which is not Russian faction. Yeah, they have bases in Russia, but it is more like Middle Eastern faction
@@pechkin9474 it's a terrorist faction that relies on corruption, has unlimited access to obsolete soviet equipment and stretches from northern China to Germany. It's Russia.
How can I get this game
Owerlord tank is ready😅
tanks are good but the overlord tank, nothing, no matter what tank the overlord have overlord is just one shot by blue bombers and long range unit, sometimes i ask myself why do they include that red dragon in the game, whats that red dragon include there to lose
"Fully upgraded" Golem didnt use "Shtora" in final tests.
Because using it would be completely broken for the Golem
Shtora doesn't prevent damages if you micro-manage, as you can still target the ground they stand on.
I think the reason why USA tanks is so weak is because of the Airforce and support drone units and also base defensive type unlike China that's offensive type yet their base defence is weak. They make the USA micro intensive.
I hardly win using USA without using drones and stealth bombe.
For the love of god ROTR devs, buff pathfinder please and make SEAL invisible!
Golem is so good imo
You put a lot of effrot into this videos :)
What will happened to Overlord when fighting Sentinel 💀
Stock sentinel vs stock overlord = sentinel wins
Uranium shell overlord vs sentinel = overlord wins
Uranium shell overlord vs reactive armor sentinel = sentinel wins
Against fully upgraded sentinels your overlords need all their upgrades plus horde and speaker tower
Was this mod made by Russians?
By a Dutch and a German, apparently.
Nobody talk about Shenlong?
It's not really an Advanced Tank, more like an Advanced Anti-personnel unit
Hey I just noticed your OST mod is from Wargames Defcon 1 can you make a music ost addon for Generals Zero Hour plssss...
golem would have won that duel vs the chinese tank if u activated the shtora.
Anything would win any matchup if you made it untargetable. That doesn't help for these testing purposes because it's a foregone conclusion.
Not if a real player is controling the overlord.
this mode is better than contra
Name of the game ? 🥲👋
Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour

Why the fuck are the machine guns on that thanks so useless? xD Arent there mounted to be effective against infantry?

How i can download the game
You can download it from the new EA play app. Find the "C&C Ultimate collection". It has Generals: Zero Hour in it along with all the other command & conquers.
@@comm1098 thks and how i get the New expansión package
@@georgematos7110 After you have Zero Hour installed. Look in the description and you will see a link for "GenLauncher". It lets you easily install almost all of the popular mods for zero hour. Super easy to setup too.
