||
| − | '''Attack dogs''' are [[Allied]] and [[Soviet]] anti-infantry scout units in ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2]]'' and ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge|Yuri's Revenge]]''. The Allied version is a German Shepherd, while the Soviet version is a Siberian Husky. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Tactics== |
||
| − | These trained canines were raised from when they were pups to be killing machines, and performed extremely well against enemy troops, despite often taking heavy casualties under fire. They were very useful for reconnaissance purposes due to their speed, vision, and expendable status. They could also sniff out enemy [[Spy (Red Alert 2)|spies]] no matter what disguise they had taken on. They were of particular use during the [[Third World War (Yuri's Revenge)|Psychic Dominator Disaster]], as [[Yuri (faction)|Yuri's]] psychics were only trained in controlling human minds, and were vulnerable to dogs. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Counters== |
||
| − | Being dogs armed with only their own teeth, they were unable to attack anything other than infantry. Groups of enemy troops were able to kill dogs before they got near, and [[Tanya (Red Alert 2)|Tanya]], [[Navy SEAL (Red Alert 2)|Navy SEALs]] and [[Boris]] could kill dogs instantly. Furthermore, the [[brute]]'s skin was too thick for a dog's teeth to pierce. [[Tesla trooper (Red Alert 2)|Tesla troopers]], however, had weak points in their armour which dogs exploited to lethal effect. Kill them init |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Aftermath== |
||
| − | The Allies still used them in the [[Post-war Crisis]], while the Soviets replaced them with the [[War Bear (Red Alert iPhone)|war bear]]. After [[Anatoly Cherdenko]] changed the timeline, Allied [[Attack dog (Red Alert 3)|attack dogs]] were observed to be capable of swimming and were equipped with the ability to [[Amplified Bark|stun enemy infantry]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | * When attacking, the dog essentially "becomes the bullet" until it reaches and kills the target. During this phase, the dog is immune to even a Nuke blast and its radiation. This mechanic is shared with both Squid and Terror Drone. In the rare event a Terrorist is killed before the dog gets to him, it lands unharmed from that Terrorist's explosion; otherwise the dog dies with the Terrorist. |
||
| − | * The manual for ''[[Command & Conquer: The First Decade|The First Decade]]'' states that [[Yuri (faction)|Yuri's Army]] has access to attack dogs. This is false, as Yuri is the only faction that can not use them, relying on [[brute]]s instead. |
||
| − | ** However, the game's ''[[Rules.ini|rulesmd.ini]]'' file holds commented-out code for a Yuri attack dog. |
||
| − | ** On the other hand, Yuri is only faction that can train ''clones'' or ''copies'' of ''both'' Allied and Soviet attack dogs if an [[Allied barracks (Red Alert 2)|Allied]] or [[Soviet barracks (Red Alert 2)|Soviet barracks]] are captured, respectively. Allies and Soviets can only train their corresponding type of attack dog, even if the opposite barracks is captured. |
||
| − | ** Again, Yuri can only train the ''clones/copies'' '''YADOG''' and '''YDOG''', not the original Allied dog with ID '''ADOG''' and Soviet dog with ID '''DOG'''. |
||
| − | ** The result of this is dogs not always being selected properly when using 'T' if there are different Types. |
||
| − | * In real life, the Siberian Husky is a poor breed choice for attack or guard dog: these dogs lack the territorial protection instinct, and are unaggressive towards humans, therefore they cannot be trained to perform direct combat duties. |
