Red Alert 2: [YR] Testing Tesla Coils

Tesla Coils are a strong defensive structure available to the Soviets. Its power can be increased by using a Tesla Trooper. In this video we are checking how the Tesla Troopers affect the Tesla Coil.

Any structure may be overpowered with any weapon that has an ElectricAssault Warhead - when that happens the building switches from the Primary weapon to the Secondary. This is why more SHKs will not have an effect on the structure in terms of offensive-power.

Just like we learned from regular & Elite weapons, that Secondary may be a completely or partially different weapon with its own Projectile, Warhead, different Range & cool-down, etc.

That said, if the ROF (cool-down) isn't identical between those Primary and Secondary weapons, you may encounter a "bug" where the Secondary is used every now and then over the Primary even if the structure should powered up first - but judging from the footage at 3:54 that bug is only valid for low/very low ROFs.

Speaking of which: the difference between those two is a mere 20frame cool-down. In YR the cool-down was reduced from 100/120 frames to 80 frames.

4:20 both regular and OP-weapon use the same Warhead. It's the +100 damage that really make the difference (and I guess the faster fire-rate in RA2...).

6:36 well since Armor-crates halve any and all damage inflicted upon a unit, it should :P

7:04 horrifying xD

When I was a kid, I thought the Tesla Coils in Red Alert 1 were Christmas Trees 😂🎄

Tanya: "I'm so goo-AAH!"⚡

Commander, we must be near the tesla to charge it up! (Love your vids btw)

[HenchGuyBlast]

You’re telling me I’ve been powering my Tesla Coils with 15 troopers each for the last 24 years for NO REASON?!?!

[youssefashraf]

You can link up to 9 Prism Towers.
Any extra tower will not be added to the chain.

[intelkiller]

7:09 Jeez, I never know I could do that!

[Terring]

You know what could be even more awesome? Modding the Tesla Coils to not only allow them getting more and more firepower and range the more Tesla Troopers you give them, but even eventually achieving EMP and anti-air capabilities to disable vehicles and bring down even the toughest Kirov Airships.

tgSacred back at it again with great content!

AFAIR in RA1 Tesla Coils had 3 charges that it could use all to highly damage a single armored unit or to scorch three infantry units.

[michaelandreipalon]

In conclusion, needing two Tesla Troopers is a partial lie. One is enough under normal circumstances.

[UnBless]

Good job, well, maybe can try some Red Alert Remastered units testing in the future, like Tesla Coil and Allies Mine Layer (Allies Mine Layer is anti vehicle mine, Soviet Mine Layer is anti infantry mine.)

[Master]

Apocalypse being so much beefier than the Battle Fortress was unexpected. Is that specifically against Tesla Coils?

[kommo]

I always prefered Tesla Coils over Prism Towers. Prism may be able to do more DMG, but they are bad against multipe targets.

[glassramen]

Damn, I really gotta go play some more RA2. It's been like 6 or 7 years since the last time.

[tanphamnhat]

If in the fun end where tesla trooper in battle fortress can charge the coil, can the tesla tank do it too?

[sterbensuarez]

Me didnt really get the outro did the bf just disable the buff on tesla coil?

[ramadhanisme]

So the range will increase with 2 tesla troopers? Can it outrange prism tank?

[warlord]

А разве связка из нескольких башен Тесла с солдатами не должен уничтожить танк с 1 удара?

[Doj]

I wonder if a tesla soldier's rank affects damage?
