I read that people find this hard, i used to think so too. But it is painfully simple. The left side you can do simply by sending in 1 or 2 cryocopter. Freeze the iron curtains and send a vindictor, precision strike or time bomb to finish them off. The most top left has some flak but you can fly behind the iron curtain out of range. The last iron curtain in the main base, you can easily get crycopters behind the flak and take it out. You can also chronosphere in there, capture/sell it or use double proton collider attack. I recommend take out the main base iron curtain before the airfield. It is easier to do so before krukov comes in. The right side is also easy. Your 5 mirage tanks can easily overtake the first iron curtain. You must capture it. When you have done so, you can use it on your mirage tanks to immediately overtake the 2nd iron curtain. To take the airbase you need IFV's around ~10 to overtake the twinblades. All can be done in around 14 minutes total game time. Oh and the shuttle, paradrop or chronosphere in a tanya and be done with.
I love how, in part, this game mocks the hypocrasy of the Americans about the greater good. "Yes... he did try to level Moscow and kill millions of innocent people, but only because he was trying to protect us. And in the end... isn't that what really matters?" I kinda love how these guys end up being the ones that impose their point of view to the rest of the world, making that none of the factions are actually "the good guys" At the end, it comes down on who do you love must, Tim Curry, George Takei or JK Simmons. But only in one of the factions the leader doesn't betray you.
yes, command and conquer universes don't really have "good guys" and it looks like command and conquer can handle heroless stories way better and in a far less obnoxious way than most grimdark universes.
also Americans being okay with innocent people being blown away in the name of "the greater good" is nothing new, they've been doing this shit for a very long time.
@@sneedfeedandseed2410 True. And at the same time they have one of the best villains imo. CABAL going all _'planetary communications is sub-optimal due to ion particle activity in the upper atmosphere'_ is perhaps one of the best moments in Video Games. OOOH! Almost forgot Yuri! But he has the advantage of a rocking theme song.
@@sneedfeedandseed2410 Comrade Premier Romanov was marvelous. Not to mention his generals. Yuri again _(I feel compelled to name him every other sentence)_ And only just recently* got around and finished RA3; Tim Curry is so comically Evil I want him to win and/or go to "....SPACE" _*Something about the UI and controls always really put me off._ _....maybe too much EA in my C&C_
when i do it, kirovs from north east base, natasha and apocalypse tank from mid east base, dreadnought from water rushes to base. how did you prevent it? my version is latest
Yeah, with careful micro you can have all five mirage tanks survive the first part, some in green health. Go straight for the east base and take it out, that's almost half their production gone. Makes the rest a lot easier.
When I played this mission on easy there was like 25 minutes left on the clock when I attacked the Rocket, you cut it WAY too close. Do you think David Hasselhoff will play the president in a future game?
