C&C Red Alert 3: Dreadnought Surveillance Footage

This video shows surveillance footage of the Dreadnought's(Soviets) primary and secondary combat functions.

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Dreadnought:

• Fire from the Skies -- With their three long-range ballistic rocket launchers, Dreadnoughts need not do battle in large numbers in order to devastate most anything at sea or on land. The rocket launchers can reach far inland, although they cannot acquire forces that somehow manage to close ranks.

• Captain's Wrath -- In their zeal, Dreadnought captains have been known to overload their Molot V4 launch mechanisms as they lay waste to the Union's enemies. In so doing they substantially augment the Dreadnought's firing rate, though the launch mechanisms sustain electrical and mechanical damage in the process. By that time, however, there is usually no enemy left to fight back. Such "noble disregard" for "worldly things" on the captains? part has only added to the Dreadnought?s notoriety.

• Steady, Comrades -- A series of gyroscopic devices, massive shock-absorbing thrusters, and pneumatic actuators compensate for the recoil of the mighty Molot V4s and allow the rockets to reach their target with impressive accuracy at a devastating rate, even while the ship is at full steam. The rockets travel so quickly that they cannot be acquired by anti-aircraft weapons while in flight.

• A Lumbering Beast -- The Dreadnought is not the swiftest or most maneuverable vessel on the ocean. Her massive size makes her slower to get up to full steam, turn, and stop than many lighter, more agile ships. She is therefore vulnerable in frontline naval engagements despite her toughness, and should be teamed with submarine escorts whenever possible.

Dude!!!! U totally just uploaded a video of a video game. You are officially a loser.... you can kill urself now.

[redalert2havoc]

@bloooodcloooot

then i suppose everyone else who upload videos of games are losers also? What about people who upload movie trailers of movies?

Don't be a idiot.

What's the difference between these 2 Dreadnoughts from RA2 and RA3 ?

[redalert2havoc]

@Superfrycook

ra2- fires 2 rockets at a time, rockets can be shot down

ra3- fires 3 rockets at a time, rockets can't be shot down, ability to increase rate of fire but dreadnought damages itself in the progress.

[Lugiarulz233]

the new one rocks the red alert 2 one sucks i like the new dreadnought

[redalert2havoc]

I like the new one mainly for the facts that the rockets can't be shot down and it fires 3 rockets at a time.

[mezri08]

are you prepeared to fight comrads? xD

[Lamogias2011]

hey question.. there is a quote this unit says where i never can hear a certain word

"We launch this ?? in the name of the ussr" what the the goes to "??" place?

@GoombaDaddy

But, there are many big tactical counters like the Blackout Missile, SHRINK Beam or either the Hydrofoil's Weapon Jammers + Assault Destroyers in Black Hole Armor and massed produced Riptides and Dolphins.

Now that's what I call naval power!

[GoombaDaddy]

@BlackEagle351 yeah i noticed that shoguns scale better than the other ships. they absolutely destroy everything when they are in groups

[BlackEagle351]

@GoombaDaddy

That would be a no-no if Shogun Battleship uses Ramming Speed to rush towards the carriers or massing them up will make them look like a front-line cruisers due to their continuous firing rate...

[GoombaDaddy]

@xpn410 allied carriers are pretty baller actually.... they can take on shoguns pretty nicely! 

[GoombaDaddy]

shame they nerfed this ting.... used to have v4 power and not miss moving targets. but i guess that was a bit ridiculous. they still pwn

[BlackEagle351]

@AndrewtheDuke

It's just the interval between normal attacks and special abilities that makes Dreadnoughts almost OP. Shogun Battleships are much accurate and is a free getaway vessel. While Aircraft Carriers are good at taking out both units and structures when massed and their special ability plus SHRINK Beam from Cyrocopters = total nightmare.

I haven't experimented if large vessels can crash through shrunk ones.

@BlackEagle351

To be honest, I think Dreadnought is much weaker than the Shogun battleship and aircraft carrier has the most useful special ability.
