If a commando ( Tanya, Boris, Yuri Prime) is placed into a transport, and that transport is destroyed on water, the training slot for that commando unit is now properly freed.Boris' laser designator will no longer be interrupted if the enemy units garrison/un-garrison a building he is targeting.Boris will now correctly call MiGs in to attack occupied tank bunkers.The AI is not programmed to train or even use Boris. He is also the only commando in the expansion who is not capable of traversing water without using transport units. Like all commandos in Yuri's Revenge, he is resistant to mind control. This attack outranges all defensive structures except the Grand Cannon. Finally, the number of MiGs varies depending on Boris' veterancy level: Boris can call 2 MiGs while non-veteran or veteran, and 4 MiGs when elite. If the MiGs are downed, another squadron will be called after a short delay. If he is moved or killed before the structure is destroyed, the MiGs turn back. In this state, he can not fire while maintaining the pointer. He will keep pointing at the structure until it is destroyed, or he is moved elsewhere or killed. When ordered to attack buildings, Boris uses a laser pointer to call a MiG airstrike from a randomly chosen edge of the map. This weapon also dealt an appreciable amount of damage to vehicles for some degree of anti-tank capacity despite its anti-infantry nature. Boris is very accurate and can dispatch most infantry with a single burst of fire from medium range. Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge manual ( src)īoris is equipped with a specially designed AKM assault rifle, the successor to the AK-47 that Soviet rifle infantry wielded in the Second World War. Rather than using C4 charges to eliminate structures, Boris is able to call in an airstrike of MiG fighters to bombard any structure he targets with his laser designator. Boris is highly effective against infantry, thanks to his rapid rate of fire.
