SupCom YouTube video roundup part 2
This is the second post in a series of YouTube video roundups; the first one was SupCom YouTube video roundup part 1.
So now I’ll continue my look at popular Supreme Commander videos on YouTube. Again, follow the link below the fold for the videos, because I’m not going to spam up the main page of the site with a bunch of embedded videos.
An awesome video showing a flock of Broadswords being downed by a few lucky tech 3 mobile artillery shots. This really highlights the realistic nature of Supreme Commander: all projectiles are modeled as physics objects, with interesting consequences. Other fun occurrences, not seen in this video, are CZARs being taken out by strategic bombers or T3 artillery, and Soul Rippers being taken out by Tactical Missiles.
A fun nuke mod that makes the explosion really large. Look for the realistic dual shockwaves and huge radius of explosion. The only thing that could make this mod better would be combining it with the deformable terrain mod and having nukes leave huge craters.
FunkyKong’s ode to Billy, the UEF commander’s tactical nuclear missile. Nuff said.
If you have any awesome SupCom videos on YouTube I haven’t covered, please link them from the comments and they might make it into part 3.

Isn’t T3 mobile artillery a little expensive to use as AA? i guess it will have to be factored into cost/benefit because it could be considered dual use…..

Hello, Sear here with a recent name change :), I think these videos are pretty good but the feel project remains my fave, out of these I’d have to say the nuke mod is the coolest, if the nukes were really like that they’d be alot better, much more like real nukes (Although still nothing in comparison)

oh and I think deformable terrain would be a really good addition, not being able to build on a spot because it is now a crater from artillery/ a nuke

Laconic, the cost of broadswords is immense. To put it into perspective a soul ripper costs as much as 8 broadswords.

This doesn’t seem quite right.
1 Soul Ripper = 18000 hp, 20000 mass, 500000 energy, 15000 build time, 300 dps
8 Broadswords = 3800 hp, 16800 mass, 180000 energy, 36000 build time, 1312 dps
Are you telling me THREE Broadswords take almost as much time to build as a Soul Ripper? WTF. Where’s that “balance” GPG keeps talking about? In the time it takes to build eight Broadswords you can build two SRs, assuming you have the economy for it, and 36000 health to cut through is no small matter. I guess the low DPS on the SR is the balance, but still… :/
