Need help, How do I build Units, or tanks in Red Alert 2?

Question

yeah, I need help with that, cause when I play online they kill me faster, and they build their home or soldiers faster than me. Please help!!!

Answer 1

you need the barracks to build soldiers, and the war factory for tanks. I'm sure you already know that though. There's hundreds of different strategies, just practice on a bunch of brutal enemies in skirmish mode, but put it on battle not free for all. You should be under attack fairly quickly and it'll probably help you figure out what to do to be able to fend off early.

Answer 2

Try to focus on your building first. I'm a slow builder too but i dont get beaten that easy. Altough my enemies fight and build unit faster than me, but i'm an tough defender. Always focus on defense. As you know no matter how much barracks or war factory you got, there's only one primary building you can choose to decide where the units will go out. I play as Soviets so my troops are cheaper so they build quicker. My suggestion on some training with brutal enemies, play in Animal paradise or animal... whatever, it's on the map that supports 6 or 7 players. choose at the upper right corner on the map coz that place only accessible by bridges. so build some unit that can blast the bridge. I used Crazy Ivan to bomb the bridge hut so the middle part of the bridge is gone. or some tanks, order them to shoot the middle parts of the bridge by pressing Cntrl+attack/move to attack ground. Be smart and try different tactics OK?

The more factories and barracks you can build, the faster each unit can be produced. Also, it helps to have the funds to build all the characters. What I usually did was start by building two refineries. This gives me enough starting capacity, two miners and I can start spending more money, quicker, because I'll be able to start building plenty of units and not have to worry about my money supply. Then I'd build my barracks and build a few troops to protect my new base. Then build a vehicle factory. I'd build light armored vehicles first then Id make another miner. After that build more barracks and war factories while making tanks, troops, and miners. Pretty soon you'll be building units fairly quickly and you wont have to worry about money supply.

My tactic is of ccourse the power plant first then refinery, after that I'll build a barracks and few troops, after that a war factory, then a few miners, and a radar. After that I will build enough defenses and expand my resources to ccontrol the map, then after that for the kill I'll send in infantry inside to protect the flanks in the attack, then strike aggresssively w/ armoured vehicles and aircraft to weaken their defenses, then strike full force w/ all your units, this proves to be fast enough to weaken your enemies to death, Prisms and mirage are often separated, or Tesla and apocalypse, prisms are made to surround the base, ( this wil create a huge octagonal beam that deals large damage ) don't worry about the attacks at the prisms your infantries will create a flank to destry them, this proves to be effective and very fast tactic. Try to be faster when clicking, every second counts, defense and offense must always be balanced
