VGsatomibut i think gattlings are ineffective againist them. A pillbox or a russian sentry killed an infantry about 3 times faster
Are you nuts?? They dont have a cooldown and they do a significant amount of damage far unlike the sentry and pillbox....even 1 gatting TANK can hold off a large number of conscripts....turrets are even more effective because they can be repaired...and once they are revved up (which happens easily when fighting infantry) the can shred light armor, too. Even a group of bedded-down GI's dont stand a chance against a gattling turret. Thats one thing I dont really like about ra2/yr....infantry are so usless and obsolete....with the navy seals, vurus snipers....its pointless to even build them....except against the soviets, of course...they are weak against everything.
Perhaps you play with a newer patch... Or i don't remember well... but anyway conscripts can prone (unlike GI's when they lay down their sndbags), that makes them i think take only 0.5 times damage, and Gattling uses a warhead that is not effective againist infantry (6 conscripts > 1 gattling tower). Gattling tanks shoot even weaker bullets, and it takes an hour to spin them up (they are long dead in a concentrated fire of 40+ conscripts), however i do agree that russians have no chance when the skills of the two players are even. Oh and gattlings do have cooldown: look at the smoke on the target: when the gattling is in the first stage of their speed, it only appears every 2 seconds, however the shooting anim is continous.
But it can be that i use an older patch (coz i only play on lan), and they improved gattling in a newer one (and i havent played it for a long while now)

Many of you mentioned Doom3: well it wasn't that bad as many people say, it was just not nearly as good as Doom2. I was very disappointed when the Hell part of it turned out to be so short. That was the best in it, and going back to the laboratories wasn't too much fun... And anyway there were too few monsters, and most of them were too weak ones (zombies did not harm me at all, and Mancubus and Arch Vile was a joke compared to Doom2). However i think doom2 is still so good, i play that game even nowadays.
