well, at least if your being disced you can make some AA infantry or vehicles to stop it, a yuri can just MC it and leave, WITh it, and your screwed if you dont have $3000, a war factory, and a repair depot.

Fair play, I hadn't noticed that because I rarely have snipers in range of rockets being fired. However, special_1 is not used by Tesla Troopers (they use plate) and I doubt very much that Terror Drones are supposed to be killed by Snipers on a single shot.
The special_2 100% should be set to 0%. My assertion of the 1% values is perhaps subject to opinion (you could, afterall, destroy a 1 hit point tank with 1 shot).

Regarding the mc of mcvs devin, I can see your point but disagree that its a mistake or bug. It is just a feature of Yuri Prime that can be dealt with by having sufficient base defenses and units. And you should always build a repair depot. If the enemy could afford to train Yuri then you should be able to afford a piffling 3000, or at least the means to defend against him.

While this is what's intended, one element simply doesn't work, which screws up the effectiveness of any unit using a Hollowpoint-type warhead. "1% means no retaliate, no passive aquire" is not what the game does, because either 1% allows retaliation, or 1% now becomes 2% once things in the game get rolling.... either way, a unit with 1% on the warhead will ALWAYS retaliate. A sniper being shot at by a tank will fire back at the tank, and ignore 500 juicy infantry who might be standing around that tank. Changing the warhead to 0% versus vehicle armor is the only practical solution.

It's not my fault Westwood can't code...
@martyr: The verses-explanation said Special_1 is used by SHK, I didn't double-check it...

The Flak Track's range is reduced from 10 to 8 when it becomes elite.

DJBREIT,
The majority of the bugs you listed are not bugs with Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge per se.
For example, 'spotlight controls internal error' is not a problem because there are no instances of spotlight controls being used in RA2/YR.
However, you do have some good points with regard to modders use of the engine. One should certainly be considering here such problems as well although the extent to which one does this is difficult to determine (for example, 'the engine does not allow me to alter the terrain dynamically during a game' would unlikely be considered a bug.

Well spotted ImmoMan.

[CRMindControl] ;The Yuri Clone IFV weapon (it's not actually mind control - its the mind blast)
ROF=10
;FireOnce=yes

[CRSuperMindBlast] ;The Yuri Prime IFV weapon
ROF=50
FireOnce=yes


Now, see what happens if you order these guys to attack the ground.

I believe the Yuri Clone weapon should have the same rate of fire as Yuri Prime and that it should also have FireOnce=yes.
Do you agree or suggest otherwise?
