  • Welcome back to our Command & Conquer Tier List series. We're gonna rank all of Allies infantries, vehicles, naval ships, and aircrafts based on how viable they are in the online meta of RA2: Yuri's Revenge. I'll also provide reasoning and a competitive analysis of why I ranked a certain unit in their corresponding spot.
    Note that this tier list is NOT based on a unit's overall strength. Units here are ranked by their viability in the meta. You may see a very strong unit being ranked low on this list - That is because they do not see many uses in online competitive gameplay.

    So many cold war themed strategy games do this while in reality it was the other way around. The Soviets relied on mass numbers of mobile tanks especially the T-54 and later the T-72. While the allies relied on smaller numbers of heavier and more advanced tanks like the Chieftain and the M60.

  • @maxwilliams9203
    @maxwilliams9203 3 роки тому +4

    Don't really agree with alot of the stuff on this tier list.
    GI's - Not S tier. Just because America's paradrop ability is S tier doesn't mean the GI unit produced for $200 is.
    IFV's - One of the least effective AA units in the game, much worse than Gatling tanks and flak tracks. It is also too weak to be used against armor, buildings or infantry. It has some play as a troop transport or by putting GI's, GGI's, or snipers in, but not enough to make it A tier. (although they are fucking broken when they become elite.) B or C for me.
    Robot Tanks - Can be good situationally against Yuri, but still do way to little damage with way too little health to be B tier. C or D tier for me.
    Harriers ranked higher than black eagles? Seriously? I don't understand how that makes sense. Korea might not be as good as America but they are still common enough online. Black Eagles are just a flat upgrade to Harriers, and a large upgrade at that.
    Spies are fucking broken. Maybe not in 1v1 quickmatches, but in larger team games and FFA's they are honestly borderline OP. It isn't that hard to sneak spies into a war factory or barracks. IFV's can transport them very quickly and if your opponent is focused somewhere else it isn't that hard to infiltrate. Chronospheres can also help infiltrate with a high success rate. Once you do, you can get veteran rockies which are OP as hell, or you can build veteran grizzlies which are almost as strong as an un promoted rhino, but cheaper and quicker. You'll also get way more elites which is really powerful. I see spies alot in 3v3's, 4v4,s, 2v2v2v2's and 8 players FFA's.
    Destroyers aren't great but they do have purposes and don't deserve F tier. Yes they are worse than dolphins and worse than subs, but on naval heavy maps you need to get early naval out so your opponent doesn't get an heavy naval lead. If they do, they can camp your shipyards and prevent you from building any naval, and then just wear you down with artillery. In these naval maps, you often have to get some destroyers out before you can tech up to dolphins. Destroyers also have the ability to hit land targets, which can make them useful for hit and run naval attacks on a oil derrick or any other buildings built too close to shore (super common on Tsunami, which is a really popular map on cncnet). Aegis's as well serve a purpose, sometimes you just need water based AA to defend your ships, and they work good enough at this role to bring them into C tier at least. Honestly it seems like you just don't play too many naval maps or team games.
    Finally, why hate on the nighthawk? Its not a combat unit and shouldn't be ranked as such. It has niche uses as a transport however. If you need to capture tech buildings separated by water (like on arctic circle for example), allies are the only faction that can do this without having to build a naval yard. The fact that they are invisible on radar and have a weak machine gun doesn't hurt either.

    Grizzly Tanks aren't the weakest MBT, they're identical to Lasher Tanks. Also, they're aren't weakly armoured. Grizzly Tanks maintain good health and one of the best armour ratings in the allied arsenal. I feel like it gets such a crappy view because it's always compared to the obviously OP rhino tank.

    • @xyhc-cnc
      @xyhc-cnc  3 роки тому +7

      It's compared to Rhino Tank because Rhino Tanks are all over the meta. Everything has to be compared to them. A main battle tank that doesn't match that much armor basically is "weakly armoured".
      I know Grizzly has the same HP as Lasher, but their armor types are different. In many cases, Lasher survives one more shot than Grizzly. See TG's tank comparison video.

    "Tier S" Rocketeer, you can only use it against allies itself (or noobs who never build anti-air), which is pretty ironic.
    And destroyers are one of the best units to against subs on "large" naval maps, they are the only units that can anti subs and move at the same time. Although soviet have sea scorpion that can shoot down those planes, but you can tying down your emeny's team through some micro without taking damage, and even annihilate them bit by bit.
    The Soviet navy surpassed the allies in general, using dolphins to against subs is really not the best strategy "even you understand how to use them effectively".
    **Note that I didn’t even mention Yuri’s navy**
    I have played this game for a decade, there are just too many different situation in this game, 95% of the units have their purpose, and destroyers can be useful sometimes.
    Tier lists are really not applicable to this game.

      From what I understand, even A is too high. They're cool AF and can outrange almost anything, but they're nowhere near as good in comp as they are against the AI, which simply can't handle long-ranged units at all. In a tank rush meta, no vehicle that sucks against tanks is gonna be a staple. They're useless against Soviets with their Rhinos, Desolators, Siege Choppers and Iron Curtains, and even though they're pretty good against most of Yuri's arsenal, they still lose to Magnetrons and Masterminds.
      Also, even at their main job, which is to destroy buildings, they're vastly outclassed by GI BFs. Sure, Mirages are also outdamaged against vehicles and infantry, but at least they have their stealth gimmick. While Prisms are great at destroying buildings even compared to other land artillery, when you work out their DPS, GI BFs are just plain ridiculous against infantry, tanks and structures alike. Chances are you're playing as America to get free GIs every few minutes, so a GI BF only costs 2k, and if you can afford Prisms, you can probably also afford BFs.
      Prisms are a bit more cost effective against concrete buildings like conyards and superweapons, and 5 of them can insta-kill almost any building when firing at once. They can also outrange tower defenses unlike GI BFs, but I barely see anyone build towers in high level play. They're considered too expensive and power-intensive to be worth it, so sentries and pillboxes are preferred. Yuri has stuff like Gatling bunkers and psychic towers though.
      It's a shame because they have otherwise great attributes, but they're more like a B or C.

      Tank destroyers are great... at what their specific purpose is, killing tanks. Backing them with some IFVs or a couple battle fortress units filled with AA and anti-infantry can be a good little mixup. I agree the TD should have been better but in terms of damage against tanks, he's nearly unrivaled. I'd say it's middle of the road. Useful in the right situation. Cost efficiency, though, is a totally different story because they are hard to spam unless you're fighting someone who has no idea how to play, giving you more than a chance to build a sturdy economy. Same with an easy AI as they really don't expand past their starting area.
      TL;DR
      Tank destroyers are phenomenal at hunting other armored vehicles and trash at being a main battle tank.

      Bulky means being high in armor / hp;

  • @kellereclub3828

    Actually, if you are rating units based on competitive play and meta, then you don't need so many tiers. 4 at most is enough. Then only the 2 highest tiers matter. The bottom tiers will just be there as filler to fit the remaining units. There's not much discussion if you choose to go competitive-only and meta-only. Yes, your list then makes sense. But then - it becomes very limited for serious and objective discussions. My style and approach is holistics - units judged on past present future across even AI games - their intrinsic values. If the units have been misplaced into wrong tiers, I'd tell you what buffs or nerfs they need to belong into the tier you put them in.
    Why intrinsic values matter - in non-static games like Dota 2, patches happen often. Your intrinsic value of units give a gauge or rough guess of how their power and performance would swing from patch to patch. Something too strong indicates it's gonna get nerfed in future, something too weak indicates it's gonna get buffs in future. If it's a static game and you base your tier levels on competitive-only and meta-only, then it becomes too easy - they're mainly popularity based or on frequency, how often they're bought and used. And the frequency diagram will be skewed - top 2 tiers will dominate. Anything else are filler and don't need so many tiers to slot into. Example would be Soviets. The tier system would simply be Rhino and Deso in S-tier. Anything that still sees play in A-tier. Everything else in F-tier with no need for BCDE. That's my 2 cents.

    Aegis Cruiser, Spy, Guardian Gi's are way too low, they're all absurdly powerful units. IFV's, mirage tanks, and prism tanks also should be higher. Guardian GI entirely outclass their counterparts (Brutes, tesla troopers, flak troopers)
    In fact, all of those units got seriously nerfed by RA3, just to show how powerful they are.
    Allies are incredibly strong in RA2. Whereas the Sov's are stuck with rosters of mediocre or worthless meme units. (V3, Crazy Ivans, flak troopers, kirovs etc)
    The only bad unit is the destroyer.

    "Grizzlies are the weakest tank."
    Last I checked, that was the Lasher Light Tank. In the games code: Lasher Light Tank, Grizzly Medium Tank, Rhino Heavy Tank; which all match up to the tank types from Red Alert 1.
    Though in terms of usefulness, I can see why: Grizzlies don't excel at anything; their speed and damage are average, as is their armor: While the Lasher Tank is super fast but their armor is paper, and the Rhino Tank is super strong, and tanky; but much slower.

      @@ILoveNigga Fair, the Lasher does shoot faster; but it also has far weaker armor. In a 1v1 tank battle; the two pretty much match each other out; but at the end of the day; neither mainline tank comes into play much due to better alternatives.
      Battle Fortress armed with Guardian GIs and Prism/Mirage Tanks makes the Grizzly kinda cute; and the Lasher Tank is kinda cancelled out by just building way more Gatling Tanks with either a Magnetron or a Mastermind.

      ​@@Kohchu Bruh I think you have placebo effect from the name of the tanks. It's probably referencing RA1 (I don't really know because I hadn't played that), But IN THE GAMES CODE, which I know and is looking right now because I'm modding stuff, the Lasher LIGHT Tank has the same armor as Grizzly Medium Tanks which is Armor=Heavy, So all MBTs have the same armor, The health, which is the called strength in the code, is where the difference happen, which is basically Rhino has more and Grizzly and Lasher are equal.
      Also, Lashers don't shoot faster than Grizzlies, They have the same ROF (Which is what determines the time to shoot again), the Lasher's bullets just travels faster and hits grizzlies before they can retaliate. This is important because ROF is very sensitive in that it could exponentially deal more damage by just lowering it even by a little.
      Basically, a lot of misinformation is being spread because everyone kinda had the placebo effect, even with Lashers having to shoot "faster". Though
      @totallynotwesternspy4858 wasn't wrong about his info about the Lasher. It's just the bullet travelling faster and not having anything to do with reload.
      Also just to restate what you said because it's kinda funny but not trying to be mean though, "far weaker armor"? Bruh 😂 at best they're equal at worst the grizzly lose
