A very important hotkey: if you press 'C', your entire army will cheer.
i dont know how he forgot, jesus
Always cheer before win
AH 50 I always cheer before I lose
found out the hard way
This needs a video: every unit with a cheer animation
20 years later and I am still learning new tips about the game
Me to . This game is very addictive. I believe I will play this game until I die ! Not the very best graphics but for sure unique....
@@panosalex6242
I ,too.

wait holy shit you can put harriers into the repair yard?
I was just about to comment the same thing.
When I saw that I was like
Wait that's illegal
That's a new learning
And what about kirovs and other flying units? They can be reapired too?
The siege chopper should at least.
Amazing how this 20 year old game still thrives and have much more content and complexity than today's offerings.
Вот да! Я каждый раз вскрикивал "ЧЕГО??", когда видел что-то для себя новое, а это между прочим почти 90% ролика!!! В наше время таких игр уже не делают((((
Iskin Imperium what does it mean
@@alevator606 it means в наше время таких игр уже не делают and also 90% ролика он узнавал для себя что-то новое. It a shame that Red Alert 2 had no tips like Starcraft to let you know which key does what you want, so you should find out it youself, you know, with dial-up Internet. Also this game has no A-move which is a shame too. Зато неплохо показана Канада, в которой больше коров, чем людей.
Герцман I don’t know what you are talking about you are mixing 兩種語言. What you said does make sense but I don’t see why 你要用一種很令人迷惑的方式和人交流. But after I gotta say although the issues you described do exist, 我還是認為這是那個時代不可超越的經典！
@@hrzmann it has bro..... press ctrl + shift and select any terrain(the units will now auto attack while heading to the certain point you selected) , it will do the same as the a move in other games
So that's why MCVs can have primary building selection... That's one more mystery unveiled.
Same thought.. 😅😅
Yea! Mystery solved!
@@DuyLe-oy9xm Wow! :O
IT'S 2020 AND 2 MONTHS INTO THE QUARANTINE, AND MY MAN HERE IS STILL PLAYING RED ALERT 2!
It's amazing to see how this game ages gracefully. Keep these up!
I didn't know about the Alt key, no more accidental selection when trying to group forces together. thanks a lot.
Me, for most of the video:
Oh, hey, those are some pretty neat tips!
Me at 12:02 :
I'm sorry, *WHAT*
Finally someone shows how to cancel big stacks of units, I've been trying to figure it out for 20 years 😂😂😂 thank youuu
Simon _ba what’s the point of search engine?
If I remember correctly, another way to cancel a stack quickly is to click and hold the right mouse button. Not quite as quick as the video but it's a little better
U can choose separate ur units with different promotions by pressing "Y"
One click =none promoted
Double click=veteran
Triple=Elite
i thought i knew most of stuff but i have realised that there is more to learn. especially that hiding planes and repairing technique. it blew my mind. thanks for making this video
3:18 another useful tip: buildings can be set to teams too.
Personally, I use Ctrl+0 for WFs, Ctrl+9 for Barracks. Of course, you have to hold T and then select each new production structure then "recreate" the teams. Save trouble with rally points.
Fun fact: rally points were a thing since TS, but there you needed Alt+LMB; that meant TS could have rally points and mobile factories. RA2YR don't have that luxury, not even Mental Omega.
So we gonna ignore the Stealth Harriers?
What harriers?
10:02 Space takes you to the last event that occurred. There's a t missing.
Using a Chronosphere and engineers inside transport vehicle is the best way to attack your enemy especially when playing with other players
It seems like I have been playing this game for a long time and thought that she would not surprise me anymore, but the Harriers in the building yard ...
And thanks for the tip with the route markers: a blitzkrieg capture will now be more convenient.
Waypoints are mainly used to test whether units deal the same damage.
They can also be used to have engineers/spies/C4 troops enter transports and then proceed to enter/destroy some buildings.
Select infantry far from transport. Order him to enter transport, then use Waypoint mode as you give him the order to enter/C4 the buildings you want.
As soon as the infantry exits the transport, he'll follow the waypoints. Effective way to have engis/spies/SEALs act immediately without having to select them first and then give them targets; it saves valuable time.
Check 5:30
Some useful Tips
- build miner by building ore refinery and sell it. That way you got miner + a little bit money from selling refinery and can focus on building another tanks instead.
- Base walking. If ore or gem is too far you can build a structure like refinery next to each other ,sell previous refinery, build another one repeat until you can place ore refinery close to ore or gem . This trick also work if you want to build grand cannon next to enemy base.
- Focus on gem first. More money more armies.
Or just unpack your MCV and move to deploy again near the ore/gem field, a bit risky but faster than "base walking", unless no unpack is allowed
@@dracoiltrance7166 unpacking is actually slower since it cancels any queued up buildings.
@@dracmeister Perhaps, tho it'd be impossible to do if the path between your base and the field is bumpy
@@dracoiltrance7166 in low eco maps like Dune Patrol and Blood Feud players online just sorta deal with it.
Also establish the "bay" of the refinery as close to the ore as possible, so if you can place the refinery north by northwest of the ore field it means your miner has less distance to cover back and forth.
Btw, In RA3, the hotkeys are repositioned so it's easier to reach them. F is for special Abilities, Z is sell and C is repair. Space do the same thing, H is moving the camera to your MCV. A + R. Click is attack move, D + R. Click Is reverse move. So basically fitting for WASD hand position.
Use of basic hotkeys definitely helps players mobilise their armies faster. This is a strategy a player must know to ace matches and become pro.
Too bad the newbie at the end doesn't get this all worked out. PWNED AT THE END 😅😝
On another note, you can send Harriers/Black Eagles to Service Depots with the Alt movement??? Now that's something I should take note if I want to repair Harriers/Black Eagles quickly.
just when you think theres not htat much content left
This is not exactly useful in multiplayer matches, or at least not to my knowledge, but another cool feature regarding waypoints are patrols. You can create a minimum of 2 points before using your 3rd/last point on your 1st. They will then Attack Move from point to point and continue looping until you give orders otherwise.
Man this is cool i wish i learned this when i was playing this years ago
A deployed GI can kill an enemy's attack dogs sent to scout our base when facing the exact comming direction of the dog without truning around first. To adjust the pointing direction of the GI, use 'ctrl' to force shoot the ground of the predictive comming path of the ememy's attack dog, then press 's' to end the meaningless da-da-da.
I can imagine the deployed GI attacking SFX from your "da-da-da"
AFAIK, infantry turn around instantly. This tip would however be definitely useful for turreted defenses like the Gattling Cannon, Sentry Gun, Grand Cannon and any vehicle inside the Tank Bunker.
Note I didn't say Flak Turret or Patriot Missile because, in the original game, force-fire on the ground is not possible for them.
thank you for this tips honestly im only know hotkey Z,D,T and crtl+number
After over 15 years of owning this game i never knew you could cancel rally points for a building
Wow just wow. The thing you did with the harriers at the end. 🤔🤔.
Actually the N key doesn't select unit randomly, it will select the unit on top of the map
Amazing as always! I really like your tutorials, keep up the insanely good work TG! :D Ur the best ;)
i know some of these shortcuts in generals
also some of them the same in redalert 2 and all command and conquers
Q select all units in screen, 2nd Q select all units you have
W select aircraft in screen, 2nd W select all air in map
select a unit and E select all the same type of unit in screen, E again in all map
s = stop unit from moving
hold Alt = plan attack
hold ctrl = attack anywhere
space = showbase if i am not mistaken
CTRL 1234567890 = put a number into a unit so when u click the number u select it "also works with buildings"
Shift """i think""" to select units spread of each others, "when u hold mouse to select"
and many others
@@DuyLe-oy9xm yeye ty
im not surprised that im still learning about this old game. good job!
1:36 selecting both teams can be done by holding Shft + number.
Here it was 1, then Shift+2
I've learned some of these by accident like the Alt Movement, Basic QWER Buttons, X (scatter) hotkey, Basic Z Tactical Waypoint (didn't know about the garrisoning one though), and the T Selection. Thanks for letting me know mate. Been playing Ra2 [YR]: Triple Power Mod for 16 years.
wow there are still stuff i forgot or didt know about! great vid
how many harriers can you hide in base buildings ?
Also some of the hot keys are available since birth of the old C&C games
this was the best tutorial video ever
These tips are awesome, thanks!
Next video:
Tips on how to speedrun the game
Thank you dude, very cool channel, glad that someone else is interested in this game, and especially reveals useful things
I experimented a lot with it before, but it turns out I didn't know many things
And the ability to set targets for units after disembarking from the transport, this is a boom dude, so many opportunities have opened up
I need to download again this treasure ;p
11:55 now THAT is useful.
All this time sending my airplanes to die when I could have had them repaired?! >:(
Another use of waypoint is creating a pincer attack on the enermy's base. This become extremely useful when you want to overwhelm your opponent's defense such as tesla coil, prism tower.
5:58 thats new to me, how i never knew that
thank you it was very instructive
This video is perhaps the most useful video of this month
Didn't notice if it was mentioned.
One more important waypoint usage: you can loop the path. It is extremely useful for patrolling territory, e.g. defending your building from spies or engineers.
Tried and I say this is invaluable for your gameplay
Maan you are amazing! Been looking for this kind of video for playing the game in a more practical way, thank you so much!
You forgot about how connecting waypoints will turn into a loop and also guard mode which activated by pressing G which i never fully understood
anyone know Ctrl + C for “far construction” ? i used it to troll my friends by placing nuclear plant right into their base lol
Telmen Budsuren explain,
please
@@MrVelociraptor3000 when you try to built a stuff, green means avialable, red means no, but you can use ctlr + c to build any stuff on "red"
then most ai enemies destroy anything even nuclear plant
@@TelmenBudsuren huh, I'll have to try that
@@MrVelociraptor3000 i wish i'd record and upload it on youtube but ra2 runs with like 5fps on my "decent" pc i dunno why lol
That exploit only works on RA2 1.0
As always... Learning new things... Great job.. 😍😍
this has to be your best video
tq bro very useful tips, also what is the g button used for? will there be a pt2 to this?
I’ve never seen the aeroplane be fixed like that before. The alt move command is ace
Tg pro :O
Control or command is the best hotkey ever
10:37 not all units are selected, and units you might not want to be selected are.
Subs are not selected using P, Harriers and Black Eagles are selected using P, for example.
@@DuyLe-oy9xm I doubt it.
IsSelectableCombatant has the default value of "no". Meaning that units omitting the flag (such as the Typhoon Sub and Boomer Sub) aren't selected when hitting 'P'; which just so happens to actually happen in the unmodified game.
Thank you for those .
CNCNet allows hotkey reconfiguration so I can change many of those hotkeys to my liking.
Nevertheless, it is always good to have the habit of setting up and using hotkeys.
I had no idea you could repair aircraft with the service depot.
i actually put the repair button to ` button (left side of 1 in laptops) since its easier specially in case someone did superweapon in my base
Force attacking your own tesla coil with tesla trooper will make it charge it up, tthen you dont have to move and hold position
Thank you for that video.
11:46 no way! 😮
The ending tho
It's me playing noobie vs 1 brutal. Back at where I can't stand against 1 brutals when I was like 8... now I'm 20 and still had trouble with the brutals ×_× awful me
Its complete opposite for me. Back when I was 7, My father taught me to fight off 7 Brutals at once (you end up losing most of your base 3 times in a row but thats okay)
Now? I can barely fight off against 3 at best.
I got no tutors back then. You'r lucky as best. Your father was a legend. Teach you to beat 7 brutals.
Now I can barely stands against 7 brutals on one condition: separate islands from others (1 island for me, 7 in other side. Not alike skirmish islands. Must find a suitable one on internet) and no SW ofc.
@@MoondropSimulacra Aah yeah the classic "No SW" game. Blowing up the bridges and spamming IFV to stand against Kirovs while building Grand Canons in case any unit tries to attack you. 😁
Holy shit I never knew attack move exists in RA2
Thanks Alot man.
You deserve appericiation 🙌
I didn't know you can cancel a rally point! Damn.
I never knew Harriers can be repaired in service depot 😂
Got a question, will Iron curtain/force shield remain active if you have a unit deploy or undeploy? Try using it with Ares and a mod installed. C&C reloaded has units other than construction yards that can deploy.
thanks bro!!
Wait, you can put units into attack mod and make them advance while attacking enemies on their way?
Shit, I thought that was only possible in RA3!
Hi.
How can I add a group of units in a building queue instead of one click->plus one unit? And how to cancel all of the group? This question was commented as solved in comments, but I couldn't find it in the video.
Great video btw.
Unfortunately you can only add one unit.
Removing all units is by holding Shift with Right click.
@@tsiripas Strange. Maybe in TW3 there is an option like that. But I'm certain that I saw that in one game of the series. Strange..
@@MAZAFACKERTUBE If you saw it on RA2, perhaps it was modded!
Очень классное видео! Жду еще!
What's the name of the music? I really like it.
Hey,
czcams.com/video/e7c2rpKLBPU/video.html
@@tsiripas Thanks!
New invention as always 🤣🤣
This background music is really like the one in Plague Inc (although not really the same one).
12 years old me:
One finger to rule them all
Or to be ruled by all:-P
wow, shift + right click
If Harriers can land on other structures, why would they need to blow themselves up when the airfield is destroyed anyway?
10:53 Actually, that's Crush move. Its use is ordering tanks to crush infantry instead of just firing at them.
I don't think it's correct to call it a Crush move. As mentioned, it will ignore any action and will force your unit to that location. If it happens to have an enemy unit then it will crush it.
@@tsiripas Tell that to WW :P
I've a few questions about the RA3 Uprising grinder. Can a charging grinder be made to go even faster if pulled forward by M-harpoon? Can grinder charge ability be used to escape things like M-harpoon or magnetic singularity?
Is there a hotkey to select and produce multiple same units at once (just like 9:52) instead of pressing the left click for multiple times?
11:50 wtf how... maybe I should not be surprised by anything I see on this
channel, haha
Unfortunately, no. You can cancel all units but not produce multiple.
Because I saw someone can do that very quickly, seems to be just an auto-click script
What is the background music
Please share if you know
What's the music playing in the background? Sounds awesome!
Hey,
czcams.com/video/e7c2rpKLBPU/video.html
You should end with someone mixing the repair and sell hotkeys lol
This music is really good mood building stuff. Who did it and what is the track?

can you build power plant ore refinery barrack war factory airforce command centre in 1 minute i can
Если выбрать машину, зажать Альт и кликнуть на вражеского пехотинца, то машина будет пытаться его раздавить. Очень полезно при командовании танками и хроношахтёрами.
How to use attack mode /command?????
Ctrl + Shift
How to move screen with out using the mouse to touch the sides?
Hold the right mouse button (the one you use to de-select a unit) and drag it around.
Sometimes it's hard to listen to what younger kids have to say about modern RTS games being better. But after watching R2 Yuri hotkeys care to explain this kid?
may i ask a question? how can you move the screen like that?
At which part exactly?
@@tsiripas The dragging part, but I actually figured it out now lol, it was just by long pressing the right mouse
Hey Do you ever know that actor stalin in red alert 1 and oleg actor red alert 3 is dead now?

Doesn't work in RA2, AFAIK. But maybe it works with RA2's 1.006 patch. I do know that this works for YR 1.000.
