Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge - Sniper vs Virus
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2018
- Sniper and Virus share a few similarities so testing them was a bit interesting.
Sniper is a unique unit available only to Britain. They have very long range but attack very slow. They are effective only against units and pose no threat to any vehicles or structures.
Virus is a unit available only to Yuri. They also have a long range and attack slow. They are effective only against units and pose no threat to any vehicles or structures as well. Virus has also spread an infection when an infantry unit is killed. Any other infantry near the infection will take damage over time and will eventually die if they stay long enough near.
Sniper has more health that Virus and much more range but Virus attack faster and have this special ability described above. Virus is more expensive and can kill infrantry units faster but taking into consideration Sniper's range, Sniper is no doubt harder to deal with.
At their elite level their advantages over the other seem to swap. Virus's range is much greater that the Sniper's but the Sniper attacks much faster. Which unit in the end is better? It depends on everyone's game-play style i guess!

3:20 lesson we have learned from this video : we should not kill Boris if our opponent is Soviet (Difficulty = Normal/Difficult) . Kirov will immediately report.
THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE AUDBAJFBAHFHAB
Snipers in this game are so elegant in both voicing and sprite work.
@@Asidders Old chap
They are the most British unit in the game which is fitting.
The Virus appears to be more of a designated marksman (err, woman) to serve offensively against multiple targets along with a squad, as opposed to the sniper whose superior range and anti-infantry role makes him better suited for defense
Sniper killed Boris => Kirov Reporting XD
You will feel the wrath of the Soviet Army
Ah shit cringe :D
@@nurseey7326 Your life must be so sad.... not only you can't have fun at the normal thing, you also feel bad at the normal thing. How can you be alive until now? Such a strong dude.....
lol
Kirvo AirShip ♥♥♥
Random ass plane falls outta the sky at 1:38
Adrian dutchman
Adrian mooi
here too 6:50
and 6:27 Spy Plane
That's the MH17 shot down footage
3:20, Kirov immediate reports to seek vengeance for the death of Boris
And who shot that plane down at 6:49?
lol
Lmao
kirov shot it down
Aegis probably
@@Psycholas ah yes.
8:10 Virus level 3 has the highest range, unexpected
which is weird because in the lv 3 sniper vs lv 3 virus at 1:08 both of them seemed to have the same range when ordered to attack each other out of max range.
the t squared True! maybe the min. 7:48 was a bug of the irregular field, it's the only explanation.
perhaps.
If you watch the tests with Boris and Tanya, when the sniper / virus hold position they attack from their max range, whereas if they are ordered to attack move they will move significantly closer before firing. So I suspect this would be the same case likely in a 1v1 when it comes to tier 3 virus vs tier 3 sniper.
Mother
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Kirov Reporting! 😂
Sniper: have you ever been outplayed?
Virus: no
Sniper: *would you like to be?*
They both do 125 damage , but sniper has 14 range and virus has 10 range. Sniper get first hit so wins. Sniper has 125 hp virus has 100 hp.
3:24 make me happy
Акакий Язев You made me laugh
my little brother uses that voice line for phone messages... Makes me wanna mass product flakcannons.

This reminds me how messed up is the death animation of units killed by Virus.
So savage way of killing
I think the issue with Virus is that the virus cloud takes a while to deal any meaningful damage and the enemy has long since moved through it. Only when you get a mass of idle infantry is it dangerous.
If the virus cloud acted more like Tiberian Sun's Tiberium gas where it was instantly fatal to infantry and it corroded buildings then that would be far more dangerous.
Everyone is scared being yuri the enemy, i just use great britain and snipe those damn yuris, big xp too, im able to take out that god damn yuri prime building stealer
And use mirage tanks to counter those annoying masterminds. A group of deployed GIs can easily take care of chaos drones.
Snipers in IFVs are every enemy infantry's worst nightmare.
Plus, Snipers are also the easiest to make IFVs promote to Elite status. And when they managed to do so, they transform into extremely fast and formidable hit and run vehicles that would make even Kirovs beg for mercy. Not to mention Elite IFVs perform very well against vehicles and structures too.
So yeah, in such a way, Sniper IFV is pretty OP.
Concript: Aye fam what are we lined up for?
*One guy gets sniped*
Conscript:

Conscript: what.
2:41 Sniper: "HE'S in my scope" *Shoots at Tanya*
*Facepalm*
It was a spy
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook what the fuck
Another nice video, thanks.
Speaking of range, it would also be interesting to see which units can effectively kill a bomb truck before it causes too much damage.
Merrimack block it with tanks
1:32 stalin purges in a video game
i love how the Brit takes a bow after each kill :)
A. Kofi nice catch!
Thanks for standing still, wan-
O wait a minute this ain't it
He dusted off his pants after going low profile for a while but I get what you mean.
@@kranianus5559 _Be polite_
@@kranianus5559 Never thought of seeing a tf2 refrence in a ra2 video.
For this case :
Sniper good and safe than virus because virus's cloud can harm our unit too and Yuri has much better unique infantry than virus so virus perfect at zoning enemy infantry around the base as well (especially all GI unit)
Not recommend for defend ,their most units have vehicle or defensive only and capture the base play style
That's gave me more stress
sniper are in allied faction they have IFV so they can clear infantry enemy fast move back fast and safe enough to send engineer to capture buildings to use more benefits
In short : sniper are much more versatile on every situations but virus use for zoning attack and outbase defense only(so much risky)
I think that Virus is an unfair unit, because you only get a sniper if you play a certain country so its a special weapon. But Yuri's race automatically get a version of a sniper which is a bit unfair.
I think Yuri is an unfair race LOL
Technically Yuri is a spesific country. There is no other versions of it.
Second,
*HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNFAIR*
🤣🤣
Yuri is like a boss general from CnC General series. He was designed to be unfair.
@@RichterBelmont2235 I agree, but honestly with non limited super weapons. Yes shes op as fuck. But she has so many weaknesses. Just full of specialty units. No core help, and every unit is really expensive. So early game rushing her in pvp is a viable strategy. Toxin tractors, demolition trucks, and mobs would take her base down in ten minutes or less.
Yuri's navy is suck.
Wow.. nice video dude 😀
Viruses are amazing compared to snipers in most early game survival games when the AI sends hordes of infantry against you.
Dreadnought vs aircraft carrier
Most important comparison ever
Carrier would won they got hornet lunch that deal more damage than rocket
yeah and the carrier can move all the time, those rockets of dreagnought`s are not guided, hornets are
Sniper IFV is probably my favorite unit in the game. At full veterancy for both the sniper and the IFV it deals with infantry faster than any other unit, from within the veil of the fog of war.
Snipers: the fastest way to promote IFV.
Keep going :)
Kirov Reporting 3:23 😂
I really like these vids. And it's got 100+ comments after 3 days, wow!
It would be interesting to see which anti-infantry unit does best against a swarm of infantry. Please do test "sniper/virus/seal/tania/boris/desolator/drone/gatling/whatever vs 20 GIs"
legolegs hmm good idea, i will add this to my to do list
Most likely Desolator tho, they are incredible at area denial
Hoàng Ân Phan Lê of course deployed desolator is out of the competition
They are still very deadly against infantry when undeployed.
You forget Terrioust from Cuba.
In terms of range, British Snipers can safely dispose a troublesome Yuri Virus sniper. But should the latter gains the upper ground, it becomes an epidemic
1:39 Plane Crash
good work
my favourite units!!
good. just didnt know what was going on in the last part
How about making Emperor:battle for Dune vids?
"You wouldn't shoot me, you'd miss me."
0:26
"I never miss."
Sniper actually can damage vehicles and buildings, but his damage is small
Great Job!
Tonny Tn thanks mate !
tg your welcome! Do more such cool comparesing videos
well, to those saying Yuri is “OPed”.
*Yuri Cons*
1. Yuri don't have AA in infantry & navy units so there's a balance..
Their gattling towers have less range.
2.Their navy are weak.
3.Spies can steal fron their mobile refinery. Snipers can disrupt their economy.
4. Their tanks lack firepower. Lasher have moderate damage. Their MindTank can be weakeaned if it control >3 units and weak vs drones (robot tank & terror drone)..
So what I’m hearing is “play France or Korea and just buy SEALs scrub”
3:23 Why do I hear boss music?
Why do i hear a quote!?
*intense sweating*
Boris has been slain, Wall of Kirov has Awoken!
V3 vs Prism tank nxt 1
May I know what software u use to record this?
Chow Yee Hou fraps
God this game had so much depth
Finally you fix it!
yeah :D
4:05 Also, Virus is a much better sniper if you shoot one of them and only shoot the rest of the guys only once.. Because there were many shots that she wasted because they were going to die anyways.
@TG Is it alright if you do some testing on the new Yuri's balance checkbox?
I would love to see how Virus goes with the +2 Range, they did it so that Desolators could be dealt with
What's this Yuri's balance checkbox?
Nice
Does someone found out that the snipers can shoot larger when they are facing against the Soviet units ?
My favorite, IFV sniper. It's eliminated sniper slow movement speed.
very cool
Seal vs tanya also
Othman Abu Rass it’s on my to do list !
I doubt Tanya is inferior in any way to Navy Seals, but I'm curious to see both units' range when they are elite.
tg PILLBOX WS SENTRY GUN
@Vorce 84 They have the same firepower and armor according to cnc wikia. The only thing I'm curious about myself is if a Pillbox has to "turn" to fire at enemies like a Sentry Gun does. Or, to clarify, if there is an equally short delay between spotting the enemy and shooting at the enemy.
oh okay ty
Do you repeat tests? There's randomness involved in this game if you look at dogs for example, so you can't tell a result from 1 test.
I usually do multiple tests if I am pretty sure the result will not be the same.
What resolution do u set to? 1024x768? Because I tried to play this game on windows 10 the resolution just looks weird
I downloaded a new launcher for the game and it had plenty resolutions. Can't really remember what I chose when I run it.
Amazing range attack from virus *3
Hmm, why do units blink when others get killed nearby?
4:40-5:14 If you put on 1.5 speed, you get a good bit :D
XD
when u tryna make a beat but the sample doesnt sync with any BPM
I would also like too see the cost off each unit you test.
kommo1 I will add that to the description from now on!
Thank you.
6:52 Paradrop plane : +1 Assist
What recorder are you using??
Monodroid V fraps
Thanks tg
Justinas P. Enjoy!
@tgSacred Can you put a download link of this map on this video? Please
Sniper true power is in being put inside Allied mech units like IFV and Battle Fortress
So virus has also a computer virus? She killed the drone faster than snipers..
1:37 Transport plane casually crashes... my sides...
I still like Virus, you can't change my mind.
Test with Battle Fortress?
Nice video, but very slow, it made me bored to wait ^^
Zhasulan Aitbaev ye I understand that. I am trying to avoid unnessary stuff as much as I can to keep the video interesting for the most part
tg , what programs do u use for record and edit videos?
fraps for recording and sony vegas for editing
0:46 WTF!!!
xDDDD
Virus need only in destroy big armies with soldiers
1:20 UNION!
Sniper is a killer for a price of an attack dog. All he needs is ONE kill to make up it's cost. You achieve it instantly the moment enemy gets within deathball with a radius of 14.
Virus can be outranged, costs more and can be mobbed down cost effectively by conscripts she is supposed to be good against.
what map is that? it seems to have everything on the game
Oasis of Doom
@@tsiripas is there a place i can load it?
TheLordsynfel I don’t think so :/
People still play this game? Where can I download??
The brutes quotes! 😂
Sniper will always win anytime anywhere baby
Please give me link for the downloading this map.
Are you sure you don't have it? It's called Oasis of Doom! I didn't download it.
4:26 xD
It would be ace if you could garrison snipers, or guardians.
I like sniper style

Are you running the Red Alert 2 on origin?
Nope, cd version!
@@tsiripasWhat is you patch ? Because on Windows 10, we can't play it... Oh and do you can send the patch for play without CD. 😁
Team Vuris ^^
Lol great. Question is, they won't fire at maximum range
Tom Jerry I think this is caused either because of waypoints or friendly fire
Why does the sniper have to do that Virus dirty, yo. Dropshotting and all that BS
Kirov reporting!
Wow
So sniper is more powerful, 1 on 1, but viral agent is superior against groups and especially if she gets upgraded. I think showing a viral agent in an IFV is a tad pointless to be honest. Boris is really impressive though. I'm really liking Russian units. I think if I had to choose between the two, I would go with the viral agent as a single unit won't be much of a threat, you want someone that can down larger groups faster. Once the VA is promoted, her range would be really deadly against groups. Until Boris showed up anyhow ;)
The thing with the cloud is, that the targets have to be stationary. The group has to be large for the cloud to be effective against it, while the group is moving. Which it will, since no player would be dumb enough to let them there, at which point the reduced range off the Virus will become very dangerous.
Its also more expensive, than the Sniper.
So my take on it, that the Virus only surpases the Sniper, when it gets the range upgrade at elite. With its higher DPS and elite range it becomes rather lethal. Even at the higher cost.
The Virus is a weak start with higher cost, but can be the best, IF you can take care off her.
The Sniper is reliant from the start, is cheaper, but doesnt advance that much throuout the ranks. Not that it needs to, since its still just hunting infrantry.
kommo1 at full veterancy sniper is superior. He gains a massive rate of fire, making him more superior at holding line against infantry advances, especially high HP infantry.
I find them great for killing enemy fodder before you engage The snipers will only auto target infantry unless the vehicle shoots them first.
The sniper is vastly superior when you take what kommo1 said into account. If put into an IFV, the unit will actually take out large (moving) groups faster than the Virus due to the higher ROF. Furthermore, the IFV will get rapidly promoted with a sniper inside. If you later decide to eject the sniper, you now have an extremely powerful and extremely mobile anti-air/structure vehicle, with the IFV having one of the most absurd elite ratios in the game.
tl;dr your enemy isn't going to just let its army stand still, nor is it going to send exclusively infantry. A sniper is better, in great part, simply because he has easy access to an IFV thanks to being Allied.
But remember, the Sniper is only limited to a Allied subfaction but Virus is a baseline unit for Yuri.
I test it. it works
Парень ты делаешь интересные обзоры.
Точно как я в детстве когда мне нечего было делать.
Как насчет того чтобы делать аналогичные видео но уже по C&C general и Tiberium Wars?
I haven't played those games but perhaps I may.
Then I recommend to try.
Especially Tiberium Wars.
It realized the best that was in Red Alert 2 + Joseph Kucan :)

Virus higher DPS but Sniper has more range.

How do you select multiple buildings? like in 4:39
Because in RA2 you can't multi-select buildings. Trying to lasso-select a building won't do anything, which is fortunate because in practical gameplay you might be trying to select units hidden among your buildings. Near as I can tell none of the C&C games let you multi-select buildings.
RedShocktrooper But he seemed to do it, and I see others do it as well and even "select all" buildings of the same type. How do you actually do it?
It's not multi select. Although I received comments suggesting how to do it I didn't manage to. In the video I have selected one building and just hover with the mouse over the other so both are health are shown but for a third building I wouldn't be able to do anything.
tg Mmm, I see. I'll ask some other peeps if they find a way.
Check this dude out, he was able to select multiple Tesla coils and it looked damn pretty.
czcams.com/video/WLXBUfgO610/video.html
You can select multiple buildings by holding down the shift key while clicking on each individually. I am not sure how you would select all buildings of a type.
Send virus agent to kill slave
You can also kill the slave miner slowly
I always do it while using yuri and its reaaaaaallllllyyyy SATISFYING
The tank that guard the slave miner also dead
i wish to have you 1 vs 1 in RA2
no idea why you ever want to do this 4:33
