C&C Red Alert 3: Apocalypse Tank Surveillance Footage

[BlackEagle351]

Tesla Tank and Grinder combos are better. They can 1 hit infantry. They have a lot of advantages. Unlike Apocalypse Tanks. I'm not belittling. Just comparing the difference.

[Armalizilto]

The RA3 Apocalypse Tank is pure Anti-Tank. If it obtain the rank of an elite, (or something like that) then it becomes like a anti-surface unit.

[IronRAVENxvx]

If only they would combine the Apoc from RA2 and RA3. Now that's the Apoc i wanna see in RA4. If there's ever gonna be one.

[BlackEagle351]

Unfortunately, Apocalypse Tank's Magnetic Harpoon is not without drawbacks...

1.Must get close to use harpoon on enemy vehicles.

2.Small units like Guardian and Hammer Tanks continue to fire leaving it exposed (if situation is critical).

3.I think Grinder can shut it up.

4.Must move forward when hitting structures and heavy units unlike Magmetrons which only have to tear apart" the structures or lift vehicles.

5.RA2 Apocalypse Tank was weaker than RA3. No doubt.

[IronRAVENxvx]

The instrument of doom...

[AndrewtheDuke]

Super-heavy tanks have nothing in common with Soviet tank building school, it's more like Nazi German tank school:

Google Panzer_VIII_Maus

[BlackEagle351]

@AndrewtheDuke

What do you mean?

[AndrewtheDuke]

@BlackEagle351

I meant Soviet Union NEVER developed super-heavy tanks! WW2 was won on medium tanks like T-34 and heavy Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks.

[BlackEagle351]

@AndrewtheDuke

Then how can u explain the GWWIII era's Mammoth Tank? The Soviet Union created it, as well as the M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) Tank

[AndrewtheDuke]

@BlackEagle351

Okay... but not any Soviet tank served as real prototype for Mammoth. It was probably German Р1000 Ratte.

[BlackEagle351]

The Apocalypse Tank? SOVIET POWER SUPREME?! It's weak against some of the ff attacks: 1. Future Tank X1's Riot Beam. 2. Giga-Fortress' God's Breath. 3. Mirage Tank's Spectrum Beam & Tesla Tank's Tesla Bolt. 4. Harbinger Gunship's Collider Cannons. 5. Cryo Legionnaire's Cryo Gun and Desolator's Splattershot Cannon + Deathspray Hose. 6. All Artillery-type units. 7. All Commando Units. 8. Chronosphere and Vacuum Imploder. 9. TSPs 10. Hydrofoil's Weapon Jammer. Need I say more?

[Venomclaw123]

@BlackEagle351 1. Uprising unit. Was purposely OP. 2. See 1, multiply by 10. 3. Apoc wins in a straight out fight against both. 4. See 1. 5. Cryo will be crushed before freezing the Apoc. See 1. 6. Not in a straight fight. 7. Commandos are supposed to be epic. 8. Superweapons. 9. TSP? 10. When would the Hydro and Apoc meet?

[BlackEagle351]

@Venomclaw123 1. It's true.... 2. But it cannot do well even in numbers since Future Tank is an Anti-Surface Tank. 5. Cryo can attack from the side.....LoL 6. Then perhaps the Aircraft Carrier + Blackout Missile or Dreadnought's Sacrifice Missiles would do! 7. ??? 8. I already said that! 9. Magnetic Satellite and Cryogeddon. 10. In nearby coastal areas - Hydrofoil will use the Weapon Jammer and let the other units do the dirty job by themselves. You understood what I meant?

[BlackEagle351]

@Venomclaw123 Oh yeah, I forgot one more thing at #3, Mirage Tank can use the Moblie Gap Generator to hide more units such as Athena Cannons or Future Tanks or if that fails then there's always a plan B - SNEAK ATTACK! Mirage Tanks are small but terrible! And you know what they say.......

Big things come in small packages!!

[AndrewtheDuke]

@BlackEagle351

Magnetic harpoon is a useful tool! I think if RA2 & RA 3 Apocs go toe-to-toe, I think RA3 Apoc would easily grind it's RA2 counterpart to scrap.

[Life4Bl00d]

Apocalypse Tank : GET OVER HERE!!

[iloveredalert3]

RA2 apoc tank - over powered...

[xpn410]

Also, the Future Tank X1's Riot Beam Cannons can tear the Apocalypse Tank in half making it a dangerous threat.

[xpn410]

The Apocalypse Tank think it is the best land hitter Red Alert 3. Well not any more. It has many weaknesses such as: 1. Aircraft (the worst) 2. Large of groups of anti-armor infantry 3. Spy's bribing ability 4. Artillery 5. Base defenses 6. Commando units 7. Hydrofoil's Weapon Jammers 8. Cryocopter's SHRINK Beam 9. TSP Weapons 10. Super Weapons 11. Mirage Tank 12. Steel Ronin 13. Chronosphere 14. Shogun Executioner This means that the Apocalypse Tank can be overwhelmed by other units.

[AndrewtheDuke]

@xpn410

Apoc tank can survive a launch of a proton collider or psionic decimator. Mirage Tank WTF? Apoc. would crush it or grind to scrap. 7. only if it's near water. 

[xpn410]

@AndrewtheDuke You're wrong about the "grind to scrap" part. Actually, Mirage Tanks have the ability to camouflage themselves in any background. And while immobile, they can't be detected with the naked eye, which means they can wait for the "prey" to approach and melt them down with their highly destructive spectrum beams (too bad they can't fire while not moving). Plus, their beams can refract to other tanks, just like a Prism Tank can do. So don't put too much on heavy firepower.Just cunning

[AndrewtheDuke]

@xpn410

Well, it all depends on micromanagement and scouting scout units can reveal any disguise. You know. Plus there is no Shogun Exec and Steel Ronin in online game.

[CommanderKaiser]

@AndrewtheDuke get ur facts right dude.mirage deals higher damage than the apoc.no one uses apoc in online games now.its slow speed make it an ideal target for long range artillery.2 wave force full-shot and bye,apoc.oh and if u wanna say "its going to be deadly when i have 10 in ur base".

yeah,but if u were actually stupid enough to let them in its ur fault.

[AndrewtheDuke]

@CommanderKaiser

First you must get your facts straight. Mirage has weak ass armor. Sure, nobody uses Apocs in online games but if my enemy build mirages, I'll retaliate with apocs. Yeah, slow speed, but I can use twinblades to airlift them, while you waiting until the chronosphere is ready.

[CommanderKaiser]

@AndrewtheDuke obviously u dont play online.no one uses superweapons.whats that?twinblade+apoc+migs+bullf­rogs?oh no,jus a couple of mirage and athenas with javelins and ur army is gone.or even a simple oni+vx combo will do.apoc is not viable,not even in mirror matches,much less against allies and empire.soviet t3 is in all a joke.we have nothing to stand against the cryocopter or the empire t3 units. a king oni outclass everything we throw at it.the only thing we have is the terror drone

[AndrewtheDuke]

@CommanderKaiser

Oni+VX? Apocs+flacks. Terror drones are crucial, I agree. Harass eco good. Not I was the one, who started to talk about superweaps.

[AndrewtheDuke]

@CommanderKaiser

After some experimental fights

I discovered, that Apoc. alone can destroy:

2 Mirage Tanks

5 Guardian Tanks

7 Tsunami Tanks

When using Harpoon he mows King Onis like a grass.

That's what's up!)

[CommanderKaiser]

@AndrewtheDuke yep.in direct combat its good,but thats all to it.its slow,expensive,needs t3,slow to produce,close range,anti tank ONLY,etc.in 1v1 apoc beats oni.but from 2v2 onwards oni wins,as 2 oni bullrush take out an apoc.in 2v2 u just rush both ur onis on 1 apoc to kill it,then its down on 2v1.its obvious who wins

[mofine4ever]

@CommanderKaiser you guys need to STFU already and battle :D

[AndrewtheDuke]

@CommanderKaiser

If u wanna say "I''ll send apollos", then I'll send MiGs and bullfrogs.

[xpn410]

@AndrewtheDuke What's is micromanagement? I never heard of it in Red Alert 3!

[PsionicAnnihilator]

@xpn410

It's how you manage your units in the battlefield with very good timing, lets say you got 3 tank busters and the enemy has 1 hammer tank who is trying to crush your tankbusters. If you are a micromanage them good then without making them crushed you can destroy the tank easily.

Empire requires the hardest microing.

[CommanderKaiser]

@PsionicAnnihilator nope.soviet is the one with the need to lock down multiple vehichles at once with a single terror drone.and yes that tatic is a must as it is the only thing soviets have

[xpn410]

@PsionicAnnihilator You mean about the "Ctrl + number" thing? The method which groups your units?

[PsionicAnnihilator]

@xpn410 no no no.

Go search it on google.

It means how fast and effectively you control your units. Pro players micromanage them good.

[asdsadsasad]

"is bad all"

[armydoggun]

GEEk!!!

[CommanderKaiser]

dont be fooled by his tank to think the russians have best armour in the game.oh no,2 ful shots from a wave force and bye apoc,a king oni can beat it.also a cryocopter or a guardian on secondary get the job done as well.since its slow,make use of long range units like athenas or wave force before it gets close enough to fire.also a tip to empire players:terror drone spamming can be lethal to your t3 army,so have enough tengus/iws on standby,allies mostly use air so they are quite safe

[Scythemeup]

@CommanderKaiser actually a king oni cannot

[Antimanele104]

@CommanderKaiser as an Allied player,I also make 5-6 repairing IFVs,so still,the terror drone attack isn't worth too much against my army.

[NinjaBoyFuto]

Oh common WTF did they do to the APOCALYPSE this can't be happening.I love the old design TT-TT 

[Israelyguy14]

@NinjaBoyFuto

and I like this one much better.more awesome quotes,ability to smash vehicles,grinders,and less overpowered.

[Superfrycook]

Is the Soviets have better ground strategies when it comes to land warfare?

[Armalizilto]

If you're playing as Allies, it's best to bombard the Soviet's Apocalypse Tanks with air units, but if they have anti-air, you may have to built a massive army of Mirage Tanks with Guardian Tank support against them.

[Superfrycook]

@Armalizilto yes i like the Allies, because i'm using aircraft to kick some Soviet or Imperial ass.

[Superfrycook]

@Armalizilto

Soviets: Best land strategy

Allies: Best aerial strategy

Rising Sun: Best naval strategy

[Armalizilto]

@Superfrycook No need for that.

(1) I mean if you are playing against them and what forces types you have to deal with.

My mistakes of not putting that (1) in my previous comment. ↑_↓

[Superfrycook]

@Armalizilto

Because i love the Allies.

[Armalizilto]

@Superfrycook Same here lol, I too love the Allies. Heck, I ADORE THEM SO FRICKING MUCH!

[Superfrycook]

"Armageddon is here".

[Superfrycook]

What's the difference between the 2 Apocalypse Tanks from RA2 and RA3 ?

[redalert2havoc]

@Superfrycook

ra2-get anti-air missles

ra3-no anti air missles, ability to pull vehicles towards it and grind it to pieces

[munapaska]

@Superfrycook and ra2 apoc had only 800 hp, ra3 version has 3000 hp and bigger cannons

[Jman412123]

deffinatly my favorite unit in the whole game

[huiop21]

they should make those anti air missles also hit ground units would be awesome!

[Bangsad007]

The Apocalypse is COMING!!~ The pilot remark after ordered to attack

[balakdurjana]

The tank secondary combat : " Ooo.. come here baby, mother Russia just wanna give you a kiss.."

[boomheadshotyeah]

It is day of judgement

[1HaiqalDude1]

my faivorate tank !! =D

[dustin4441]

is this for PS3?

[redalert2havoc]

@dustin4441

its on PC, PS3 and XBOX360

[Walterion]

It will soon be, a wasteland.

[rodomaru]

that looks like gunBound -.-

[dragonstormx]

This thing seems a bit overpowered in Uprising. It's magnetic harpoons keep units from firing back, that means if your good at micromanaging you beat of group of tanks of the same size without taking any damage, and it can pull ships on land to instantly destroy them. Of course people don't really complain about that because of the Harbinger Gunship and Giga Fortress.

[Jman412123]

@dragonstormx who gives a shit its still fuckin awsome =)

[maxin345]

The Apocalypse can not be stopped!!

[FenixT93]

the apocalypse tank in this one can actually drive over smaller vehicles and tanks (making the grapple beam useless in my opinion), i'm pretty sure they couldn't do that in RA2.

[dragonstormx]

In Uprising, the Magnetic Harpoons keep the target from shooting back, but does that apply in multiplayer?

[redalert2havoc]

I thought the enemy units can still fire back even being attacked by the magnetic harpoon. If it's changed in uprising, singleplayer and multiplayer should be the same.

[dragonstormx]

It may be, or may not. The Magnetic Satellite is toned done for balance purposes in multiplayer, and I would figure the Apocalypse Tank in Uprising would be because I'd hardly consider it balanced when, if micromanaged right, a group of them could take down any tier 3 armor without taking any damage.

[dragonstormx]

I suppose one other think that would make me think it was toned down in multiplayer is that the magnetic satellite is also.

[fulloftruth]

dude the ones in ra2 could wreck bases in like 5 seconds if they were elite... and they had anti air, but they still could be countered. for example all the allies had to do was build like 3 mirage tanks and they'd wipe it out...and the allied prism tanks were the same way.. 5 of them and a base is gone! red alert 2 was pretty balanced, unlike ra3 which sucked balls..

[lolzgunner101]

mirage tanks werent that good against tanks in Ra2. The cure would be to mass guardians GI's or IFVs so you could take advantage of the slow rate of fire

[ahmedlama2]

i like the red alert 3 apocalypse tank

[Lufty25]

I hate when they make soviets look weak in games

[onsholo]

@Lufty25 me too atleast on this one you have the best tank and bomber in the game

[HalofreakinTnA]

The new apocalypse tank looks super homo. RA2 was much better.

[religionInsanity]

Yep agree!! Looks too much like a toy.

[redalert2havoc]

stop spamming your annoying comments on my videos.

[wolfdude180]

lol o:17 onward looks wrong lol

[JihadOfTheSoul]

ahahahahaa

[shaunyboi141414]

not be any good against lesser vehicles when the gyro copter shrinks him lol

[Pryysmite]

I say the soviets were a bit underpowered, and any unit that seemed decent, had a weird ass special

[keyboardfriend]

soviets:best ground force

allies:best air force

empire:best sea force

[Armalizilto]

@keyboardfriend

Soviets: Most annoying ground forces

Allies: Most annoying air forces

Empire: Most annoying sea forces

[shaji20]

@keyboardfriend Allies are good at everything, They have the best infantry.

[Klonfuzius]

I will never forgive EA for that what they call RA3...

They turned the most dangerous tank into a groggy tractor.

[SaberRusty]

and they stripped it of its anti-air missle pods >:( :(

and Tanya is blonde....

[Hungrunge]

empire is good for rushes, and for its morphing units. i never play allies though. whats da big deal bout them?

[xHanaShiMex]

allies are good mainly cuz of there defences and there air support which id preffer.....

[Hungrunge]

to counter empires water hegemony soviets can attack from air

[xHanaShiMex]

The soviets dont have too great of air supports

[sir10in5t34k]

the allies seem so weak in this game. are they?

[xHanaShiMex]

nah depends on how you use them..... just keep usin the bomer planes

[Hungrunge]

soviets are overpowered in ra3

[Scorge120]

not really, they just destroy on land. In water they're no match for the empire of the rising sun.

[josephtan1818]

apoc tank's grinder can crush king oni in 5 sec!!!

[franznar12]

what is that tank!!

Its not very look a like in apocalypse on ra3.

But i want that tank

[granddark]

man i lov this tank, with some bullfrogs and tesla toopers inside, it's gonna be hell. even king oni cant squash this baby

[renoo27]

Yes indeed.... my strat guide even says the Apocalypse has more armour than the King Oni.

[ShadowForge762]

The Harpoon still lets the enemy vehicle attack. But most attacks bounce off its armor, so it's no problem.

The grinder is a structure wrecker. It can chop up a conyard far faster than the guns, plus the conyard can't pack up and run away.

[shkontoru]

make the harpoon suck the aircraft and i'm statisfied. Apo without AA is NOT Apo, it's become the traditional that two barreled tank should have anti air weapon....

[Ra3nMaN]

Nah man, they upped the apoc armour and damage, they risk a severe imbalance if they gave them AA. Just get a squad of about 8 MiGs to escort, its all about the goup function.

[Ryder220]

This is a good Apocalypse but theres a problem.

NO ANTI AIR MISSLES man what a let down and the Apocalypse should have that even they have the Magnetic harpoon

[DarkGai]

i love Ra2 that's not good :D

[Sle3pWalker]

Yeah but is there any sence in this grind attck the guns destroy anything much faster than it besides the tank is vulnurable while the beam is deployed its cool but it's not useful.

[redalert2havoc]

the 'grinder beam attack' is slower than the normal gun attack but its good for catching enemy tanks that are running away.

[DoomKnightTGS]

It's called the Magnetic Harpoon

[Sle3pWalker]

Yeah but anything that is fast enough to flee from the apocalypse is one shot from the grave from its main guns besides the harpoon is not with much greater range than the guns.

[redalert2havoc]

If I'm right, the magnetic harpoon also stop the ememy vehicle from firing as well as stoping it from running away. The magnetic harpoon also doesn't need to reload unlike the cannons.

[loriziell]

actually the magnetic harpoon is most usefull against buildings

[zhukeeper2]

ugh the turret looks like its going to fall off, even when its moving

[Damocles178]

Disadvantages:

* Not as mean looking as the previous versions in the earlier games

* No Anti air abilities which is a real let down especially when facing Japan. It was bad enough when the apocalypse in RA2 didn't hit infantry with missles but now no anti air abilities!?

Advantages:

*Can crush vehicles,

*Pulls vehicles towards itself much like the magnetron seen in Yuri's revenge.

* Good anti ground capabilities.

[Damocles178]

A great game but they've really ruined the tradition of the Soviet Super tank. For god's sake at least the Mammoth tank and the Apocalypse in RA2 could take on every opponent within their reach but now we've got one that's only good against ground units!? Great I guess I need to focus on anti air escorts....

[u016292]

...especially when the enemy are the Allies.

I really hate those vindicators. They are so fast to turn your Apocalypse into a toy. :(

[B3ND0G]

yeah it isn't an apocalypse anymore. Ra2 was so much better, than ra3 is.

[iambryan1234]

sheesh. this is not the apoc/mammy anymore. apoc/mammy is supposed to come with AA missiles.

[mnouredd]

its crap........looks fake like a dump shit toy

[killath303]

Looks held together with duck tape.

[Jeseeu]

Looked way better in RA2 XD

[Spike777ro]

agreed

[B3ND0G]

true

[lebaneseprince2006]

why the fuck isnt any1 commenting on these vids... holy shit ppl its ra3 who cares if EA made it develop some backbone u stupid fanboys.

[nurbSoldier]

Why the fuck does it need a magnetron ray to suck in tanks when it can kill them faster with volleys from its cannons?

And it doesn't even have anti-air anymore? Give me a break.

[lebaneseprince2006]

l0l i agree with nurb but some1 said u can use the magnetron ray to bring the apoc closer to buildings and cut them down so i bet if u do that with like 3 apoc's u could wreck a whole base plus its gonna be great for taking out base defenses.

[TheWormapedia]

well what's faster?

Iron curtained Apoc firing shells

or Iron curtained Apoc munching structures in seconds

[Eravenus]

I cannot belive that they changed the amazing design of the apoc from RA2 in this toy shit.

EA will simply never change, a crap that it always was.

[redalert2havoc]

actually, you should have seen the original design of the apoc tank for RA3 before they change it. This version looks alot better but I agree, still not as tough looking as RA2 version.

[lebaneseprince2006]

this thing is a monster, and to eravenus what do u expect the whole of ra3 looks more cartoonish, but its starting to look ok, these units are impressive...

[Spike777ro]

AGREED, change the toy

[deadthwing58]

will king oni be stronger than apoc tanks

[redalert2havoc]

I think king oni would probably be stronger but probably cost more. and it would make sense cause apoc is a large tank but king oni is a mech uni!

[TheWormapedia]

king onis are 2nd strongest on land

even with ramming them, Apocs are the strongest from armor to damage

[noobkid3250]

looks like a fuckin cartoon hope it comes out good RA3 ftw

[redalert2havoc]

actually this new apoc design is way better that the previous design which look more cartoony. (I not talking about the RA2 design in terms of the previous design)

[deminanton]

Apocs can crush buildings using the m-harpoon!

[redalert2havoc]

umm, I don't think so, the harpoon is only for armour units like tanks and vehicles, when attacking buildings, it just brings the apocs to the building and damage it not crush it.

[deminanton]

yes, the apoc goes forward and rams the building and crushes it. I play the beta, and use that tactic everyday.

[AdmiralPit]

My favorite tank of them all. How will its magnetic weapon affect the larger ground units like the King Oni and the Sea-only units like the Allied Aircraft carrier?

[panzeram]

Why didn't they put sound in any of these videos?

[redalert2havoc]

thats because sounds, voices and music are still being created for the game. If they used RA2 sounds, people will complain.

[panzeram]

Oh, that makes sense.

Can't wait until it comes out.

[v065346]

In the first demo video they used the RA2 sounds for the units... it sounded horrible. But I would still buy the game kuz it's an awesome game. :D

[redalert2havoc]

Like I said to the other guy, the sounds, music and voices are still being done, so the first demo was still using RA2 sounds only as a placeholder for the new sounds.

[v065346]

Yea well basically that's what I said too :p

I just got my demo key... It's going to be awesome. Downloading it right now... can't wait to fight :D WOOOOOOOT :D

Thnx

[redalert2havoc]

If you download the new patch which is like 1G, it adds new voices and effects in the game, but the 1G patch is way to big from my point of view.

[v065346]

Yea it replaced the .big file that's why it's so freaken huge... basically the re-made the game lol.

Sadly a problem now is happening... no one can connect that got their key just recently. I might try to re-install the thing and see what the heck :D
