Some maps also have that bug. Unless modify those maps and add “prism damage multiplier” or something similar (I forgot the exact code.

You have to keep in mind that Prism tower cost power too. Using Allied Power plant as baseline measurement, each unit of power cost $4, Prism tower use 75 power unit thus real cost of Prism tower is (4 x 75) + 1,500 = $1,800. Thus, for 150% attack Prism Tower, you spend additional $1,800 bringing this defense network cost to $3,600. Tesla Coil also cost 75 power unit, using Tesla Reactor as power source also put power cost at $4 per unit. Thus the first tower will cost you $1,800, same as Prism tower. But method of power up Tesla Coil is done by Tesla Trooper which cost $500, gaining +50% attack damage, thus total cost for 150% Tesla Tower is $2,300. However, Tesla Coil has damage cap at 1 charge, as this vid demonstrate, while Prism Tower seem to have unlimited charges and higher rate of fire. So it's the case of "You get what you pay for", you cannot expect $3,600+ defense to be worse than $2,300 one, is it? But from what I saw in many KZreadrs here, they seem to prefer pillboxes and sentry guns in multiplayer, rarely did they build these advanced towers at all. Oh, and Prism tower has problem when facing swarm of tank rush / manspam, as all towers will focus down one unit at a time, and you cannot micro them to spread their attacks out too. unlike Tesla Tower that you can micro separately.

I always hated France. Never had a hard time beating French players because the grand cannon has 7 major weaknesses. 1... It's expensive. 2... It takes forever to build one. 3... It drains a lot of power. 4... It's fairly easy to make it go offline by disabling power. 5... It can be taken out by air units/long range boats easily. 6... It can't shoot things that are right next to it. 7... A good defense is a good often and it's usually a smarter idea to simply build a army rather than a defensive structure in the first place... All of those things I mentioned are things you should consider in pvp. But against the AI or just casual play or coop then go nuts. Grand cannons are pretty awesome to see in action. It is fun to use the grand cannon... Not going to lie lol... Nothing kooler than seeing a bunch of grand cannons totally shit on a in coming ground attack before they can even scratch your base lol. Take control of a bridge and set up a mini base at the end of it. NOTHING gets through with a grand cannon or two in place. Those south korean black eagles are fucking evil lol. Soooo many times have I seen 3 black eagles destroy the radar dish which stops the creation of a battle lab lololol. I have done it many times and it's been done to me many times. It's VERY hard to stop that sort of a thing. All it takes is 3 black eagles... That's it... They can easily control the battle field in mid/early game. Fuckin things lol.

Special traits: - prism tower can link up with other towers for increased damage with a max link of 9, that can one shot almost anything - tesla coils can be charged up by 1 tesla trooper for increased damage, unpowered tesla coils can be charged up by 2 tesla troopers to become online, and another 1 tesla trooper can be added to the 2 tesla trooper powered tesla coil to increase damage while base is unpowered... conclusion: - linked prism towers are most likely effective in enemy battalion due to their high rate and damage - charged tesla coils shines the most when the base is unpowered, and still its online

So too summarize Prism Tower start out with less dmg per shot than Tesla Tower, but quickly overturn them by adding more towers, while Tesla towers max out after one additional trooper. On the other end. Thats only dmg per ONE shot. Adding 8 Prim tower too each other does less total dmg then facing 8 individual Tesla Towers. Also all 8 Prism Towers only hit one target, while the Tesla towers can hit 8.

What this video doesn't cover is the strategic convenience of prism towers beyond operating without power. If you have to space out your towers to cover more ground, then most of your towers might be out of range for any target. A prism tower out of range can still contribute as long as it is in range with the prism tower that can reach the target. Furthermore, you don't have to dedicate a heavy infantry unit just to enhance the power of a single tower; you just have to build more towers which you probably are going to anyway if you're trying to cover more ground.

"There is also a bug with the Prism Towers where in some maps the combination of only two is enough to destroy any vehicle and any structure in one shoot. " If I may elaborate on that: "This flag is parsed in an incorrect way: after reading its value from the INI file, it's multiplied by 100 before being saved internally. Due to the fact that the ini parser reads each flag in [General] whenever the [General] section is present in the file, and if it can't interpret the flag's value properly (say, the flag was not redeclared), it falls back to the value the flag already has. Which means, if the [General] section is present in the mpmode file/map, but this flag is not, then its value is multiplied by 100 again for each such case. Which results in a severely overpowered weapon." - ModEnc on PrismSupportModifier Ares fixes this bug.

FYI you can force fire Telsa Troopers onto a specific tower to charge it.

I see the whole prism tower chaining thing as a weakness. having multiple towers will not allow you to tackle larger armies but only single targets with higher hp. Good against apocalypse tanks but pretty piss poor vs rhino tanks or Grizzlies. It is also very expensive to build compared to your other anti armor options like Mirage tanks or Guardian GI's.

Even Tesla coil had its max boost of range and energy with only 3 Tesla troopes, we still can't compare these 2 defensives turrets because: Prism Tower: 1/It can be connected with a max of 8 different other prism towers, that means our protection would be harder to break than the Tesla coil, 9 Prism Towers also means when the enemy is approaching into the attack border, the first attack is 9, and if we killed 1, the second attack would be 8 and keeps dropping until it reaches 0 2/We might instantly think that tesla coil would be very economical because it's stronger when it stand alone, but its strength still count of 1 when we put 2 right in the border too, its attack range does not expand like prism tower, so that when you're making a full connection of 9 Prism Towers at each corner like this, note that B is your Base 1 1 1 1 6 B 1 1 1 1 In the middle, if the enemy gets in "6" they'll get 14 points of attack, it would hurt a lot! but at the corner each would get 9 points max with 9*8= 72 point defensive, and with 14*1750$=24500$ I can tell that the Prism Tower is more economical than the Tesla Coil, and its defense range can cover all your base, each shot of that would instantly kill 1 apocalypse, in the middle it might be 2, you can see how fast and efficient each shot is it in the review above Tesla Coil: I said that Tesla Coil would not be economical than the Prism Tower, but if you really know how to use it, it would be a nightmare in late game 1/You only need 1 Tesla troop each Tesla coil, it would cost average 2k$, and its strength is 3/7(Apocalypse), you would choose these tactics of building defensive, note that 3* is "3 Tesla Troops", and the round brackets, minus is the max range of Tesla coil to attack the enemy, forget to tell you that you must use the wall to covered the coils and troops(i'll use W to note) W11W (( )) W11W W13W* ( ) *W31W ----------- Base ------------- W13W* ( ) *W31W W11W* (( )) W11W WWWW WWWW These would cost with 24500$, too. But its efficiency wouldn't let you disappoint, 3 struck each 2 seconds, than the Prism towers with 2 struck each 3 seconds cause it's only 1 prism at the corner 3 tesla coils + 3 troops bring up to 9 strength attack speed 3/2 seconds, cost 6k$, 4 prisms cost 6k$ but bring up to 6 strength, attack speed 2/3 seconds, prism tower was not created to concentrate to a specific target, but Tesla coil does, so in this case the Tesla coil win, these defensive towers cost a perfect used to make a perfect efficiency, as my tutorial above i hope that you can choose your best defense tactics of Soviet or the allied! *I like the French, cause i can combine my perfect defense tactics with MA'Grand Cannon xD i like it!

The test i wanted to see since i was 7 (12 years ago)

Can't remember but were there any single player missions where you had to power up a tesla coil with tesla troopers to fend of enemy tanks until reinforcements arrived? That could had been a fun micro-management mission.

Prism Towers are better. The DPS is what matters, and both towers deal essentially the same DPS (120 every 45 frames for Prism, 200 every 80 frames for Tesla). Prism Towers have 1 more range (8 vs 7 tiles) and better damage multipliers against some armor types, and they receive a force multiplier when multiple are built near each other. For Tesla Coils to supersede Prism Towers you need to build the slow, expensive Tesla Troopers.

@gildedphoenix

However, you should also understand that, putting one Tesla trooper, buffs the coil considerably and is more cost effective than putting a second tower. And thanks to troopers, out of power is not bad for coils since 2 trroper can make the coil works as intended. Overall, due to cost efficiency, Coils are better for defense with one tesla trooper support.

One huge advantage of prism towers is when using them as a network and allows prism towers outside the range of enemy targets but in range of other prism towers to lend their power, especially good for blasting single high hit point targets. They are also easier to keep alive than schools of tesla troopers charging that can be easily picked off by snipers and mirage tanks.

4 tesla coils vs 4 prisma towers would be more fair comparison.

Tesla Troopers only change the Tesla Coil's weapon to the OC (Over-Charged) Tesla Coil version: adding more than one Tesla Trooper to a coil doesn't change any of the coil's stats. Whereas the Prism Tower's weapon increases its power for every additional tower added. Use the freeware TibEd to look at the Rules.INI for yourself if you want to understand more.

I think that Prism Towers (PT) have more strategic potential than Tesla Towers (TT). Many people have mentioned that PT can’t handle swarms/groups of enemies like TT can. TT has lower fire rate than PT so it lowers the viability in such a scenario. The allies can mitigate the PT’s weakness towards groups by simply either using SEALs, Grand Cannon, and Mirage Tanks. There are many options. TT on the other hand falls short strategically since there aren’t as many options. Helicopters Cannons (or whatever they are called lol) just aren’t as effective as Grand Cannons or Mirage Tanks at keeping large groups of enemies at bay unless you have many of them, which costs money. The bunker is a viable alternative although too many tanks can easily overwhelm it unless there are many TT or many bunkers. At a point you have to question whether or not it is worth it to have many TT since you can just use bunkers. You can’t say the same about PT and Grand Cannon since you only need 1 or 2 grand cannons to wipe out large groups.

Good Work!!!!!!!

Tesla coil is more damage than Prism Tower. but Prism tower is longer range than Tesla Coil. And 4 Tesla Trooper is maximum number to charge Tesla coil. More than 4 person is useless to do.

You should be testing it based on having more Tesla towers too since the prism towers cost way more than the shock troopers and if I’m remembering correctly they cost more than the Tesla towers too, in which case the price makes the prism tower stack versus the single Tesla with a few shock troops cheating.

Interesting. The Tesla coil maybe slow, but the damage output makes up for it, 2 Tesla troopers and the attack is much stronger, making it cheaper to upgrade, but adding to many makes slower. Prism towers maintain speed, but at a higher damage output per tower near it

Against the Apocalypse: - Prism Tower: 7 shots, 15s; Tesla Coil: 5 shots, 14s - 2x Prism Twr: 3 shots, 6s; Tesla + ST: 3 shots, 7s - 3x Prism Twr: 2 shots, 3s; Tesla + 2ST: 3 shots, 7s - 4x Prism Twr: 2 shots, 3s; Tesla + 4ST: 3 shots, 7s Conclusions from the entire video: - Tesla Coils hit harder per shot, while Prism Towers hit more rapidly. - Prism Towers continue to stack hit power with each subsequent tower they link to. - Tesla Coils gain a boost for having Shock Troopers in proximity, but the boost does not stack beyond the first Trooper. Additional note: - I'd like to see a video of testing Prism Towers and Tesla Coils against common attacks (i.e. a tank rush).

I'm pretty sure the numbers are like this: 0 Coil: 200dmg ($1500) 0 Prism: 120dmg ($1500) 1 Coil: 300dmg ($2000) 1 Prism: 320dmg ($3000) 2 Coil: 300dmg ($2500) (operates at 200dmg without power) 2 Prism: 520dmg ($4500) 3 Coil: 300dmg ($3000) (operates fully without power) 3 Prism: 720dmg ($6000) Where the number at the start represents number of supporting troopers/towers. Both cost 75 power and have 600 health, prism towers have 45ms cooldown whereas tesla towers have an 80ms cooldown (in old RA2 tesla towers have 120ms cooldown and 100ms when charged) Tesla coils powered by 3 troopers are fully functional if you lose base power, this setup costs $3000, I don't remember if they consume less power or not while at it. So basically... 2 or more prism towers are more powerful overall, but a max capacity tesla coil with 1 trooper costs only $2000, tack on an extra 1000 and it'll keep working fully during power outages, while a prism tower setup that can reliably ( 6:54 2 prism towers narrowly beat 1 charged tesla coil) beat that costs $4500 but if you add more towers it scales up monstrously... However if you also account for the power costs and the fact that the allies don't have a nuclear reactor option like the soviets to solve all their energy needs... That price for the prism towers goes up exponentially, in other words, prism towers are stronger once you upgrade them but they'll bleed your wallet dry in more ways than one. If you also account for the fact that soviets have tougher units than allies, you'll see that it's better to be the soviets and just use tesla coils against the weaker allied units than prism towers against stronger soviet ones. And building more tesla coils means you can hit more targets, but building more prism towers mean you can just hit harder, 2 fully powered tesla coils for $4000 already trashes a 3 prism tower setup in damage, and it can do that while striking separate targets whereas the prism towers can not. The tesla coils give you a lot better bang for your buck.

Prism towers have the edge in overall power in series, but with the high cost and limited targeting ability. Tesla coils are much cheaper to power up and multiple coils can attack more targets, but Tesla troopers are easier to pick off and the overall one shot kill is significantly less than multiple prisms.

Looks like the Tesla Coil is more powerful than a single Prism Tower but its rate of fire is slower. Also, you can only improve the damage of the coil once. The second trooper is handy if your power is low, whereas with the Prism Tower you can have more towers to improve the damage, not to mention that the troopers are easier to kill than the towers.

The Prism Tower is weaker than the Tesla Coil when it's by itself on a per-shot basis. But the Prism Tower fires faster. I think the game developers intended the Prism Tower to be 'linked up' to other towers rather than just a stand alone base defense.

And that it is the best descent It can destroy the construction base, unit and tank group only once. If you want to ask, then, which 10th, will it be added later? The answer is that because it has a maximum of 9 numbers, it can be fired at one point. One anywhere As long as there are up to 9 numbers Oh yes, I forgot about this again. Tesla Coil is the only defense base that doesn't have any infantry units fleeing from it. Even though it is a power base But if the energy is low (no Tesla Trooper at all or only Tesla Trooper) Tesla Coil will be useless. But if there is more than 1 person, can provide the power reserve with Tesla Coil if there is energy or without energy if you sort the Tesla Coil to a very horizontal 9 base, if combined with Tesla Trooper with about 18 people can base each base 1 -8 people. You will find that it can destroy the Construction Yards and Naval Shipyard for up to 2 times.

Wow. Never knew you could charge up an offline Tesla Coil with Tesla Troopers.

I remember adding more than one tesla troopers can increase the range of the tesla coil but not the damage.

INCREASE damage and rang

id still prefer tesla tower over prism tower, tesla tower can run with low power provided with 2 tesla troopers.

Well telsa tower is ok when you are going on agresive and you need a little bit defense but if you'r defensive then prism towers are better because they can stack up more then tesla tower and deal so much damage that it can one-shot anybody. But to stack them is expensive and boosting telsa tower is cheaper and easier.

The problem with those tesla troopers are snipes and viruses.

Prism tower plus 1 or more prism tower will increase the damage. While Tesla tower plus 1 tesla trooper increase range and damage, no matter how many you put tesla trooper the increased of range and damage still same as 1 tesla trooper. But the merit is you can turn it back online when you didn't have enough power. For raw damage (1 tower with no support) Tesla win.

What wasn't tested was the range of the towers, and how range changes if there are more prisms or troopers present.

Prism Tower's base attack time or attack speed is faster than that of the Tesla Tower. To compensate this, Tesla Tower has high attack damage than that of the Prism Tower. (if both are not in multiple tower (for Prism) and not charged (for Tesla). So Prism Tower has fast attack speed but low damage while Tesla Towers deals more damage but slower attack speed, thus both have equal Damage per Second.

I would have liked to see the comparison between Prism towers and multiple Tesla coils.

The pro with the Tesla coil is the range and power. But adding Tesla troopers increases range more than the power. Prism tower is weaker but charge faster stacked way more power but still same range

Was there any reason you didnt use waypoints to sync the towers damage? Not that it matterd for the most part but just curious

You don't know who I am can’t use waypoints with buildings unfortunately

i'm still hoping for a remastered version

I thought that the max number of prism tower focusing was 3. Was that changed in Yuri revenge?

You just made me want to play again

i playing and had much fun !

Nuu i tested it myself and it appears that tesla coils will gain a Very Little damage buff and slightly faster attack speed once buffed with tesla troopers. I also have the official yuri's revenge game too, it must be a bug for certain maps.

if i remember correctly charged tesla tower also gain a little range boost

Man this was the most active debate in primary school.."prism towers are better because they're stronger! No Tesla coils can attack multiple targets!" xD

Tesla troops doesn’t increase the damage but increase the range by a lot so you can fire multiple shots before enemy reach your defenses. Multiple prism increase the damage by a lot and also create multiple ways to attack.

To conclude, the more Prism towers, the more deadly and realiable it is.

No matter how many soldiers are there , near tesla coils, 1 or 100, the power is the same as if it were one! I played this game so much , that I know all skills in it ! :)

Alright... but how would two tesla coils firing independently do vs 2 prism towers etc?

So... stand alone Tesla Coils are overall better than Prism Towes, unless Prisms have 2 or more in proxcimity with eachother. However, if we consider an army of infantry units approaching, the coils would attack each to different tasrgets while the Prism would unite their attacks, attacking 1 at the time.

Alot of their ability wasnt visible in these controlled conditions. The refractive attack of the towers vs the individual attacks of the coil, could only be demonstrated with a larger scale battle.

So the individual Prism Tower takes 7 hits to kill an Apoc Tank, but the two Towers together take only 3 combined shots! That's pretty neat.

I still never figured how to use the tesla trooper for the tesla coil 😅

2020 and I still play this game

First Tesla Trooper will induces the damage for 50%, and also induce the range for a little; while you are low power, 2 Tesla Trooper will make the tower work, and the third one will make the damage and range induce, So it will make Tanya’s journey become more tough than Boris

This video means: If you are rich, spam prism towers. If you have trouble with cash, build tesla coil and tesla troopers. It will do nearly same damage.

The most fearful a.i battle was brutal when they send 3 soviet kirov with few aa guns

6:29 and there we got the problem with those things , they waste so much energy, if they are grouped. More then 2 next to each other is such a waste!

Can you use the tesla tanks instead of the troops? If so, does it make any difference?

flintbrenick no you cant use tesla tank to power up your tesla coil, same with prism, only tesla troopers can power up the tesla coil.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't possible in ra2, never tried in yuri's revenge. But if 1 tesla tank does as much good as 3 tesla troopers, it's more cost effective to use them since they only cost 1200 and each tesla trooper costs 500.

i tried it, it doesn't work

Prisms can make nice defense if lined up in each other's range, teslas have insane range if powered by tesla troopers.

- Cost-for-cost, 2 prism towers are equivalent to a tesla coil powered by *3* tesla troopers. (Although as you demonstrated, the results would be the same.) - Knowing the limits of tesla coil boosting, you should try to pit 4 prism towers vs 3 tesla coils + 1 tesla trooper on each. (Both set-ups cost $6000.) - I would like to see a comparison against the grand cannon as well. - You should use the waypoint system to have the towers attack at the same time. (Or maybe the waypoint system doesn't work on structures and on allied units.) - A separate point for people to consider is that tesla coils have slightly better range.

Yes, perhaps a comparison of the same cost would prove more fair. Again yes, way-points do not work with buildings thus it was hard to make a fair fight.
