why are the jewSA overpowered in every game?

Niggas be like

But personally I always put 1 pathfinder in each rockvee to deal with infantry niggas.

Bombardment when using generals power or concentrating fire, hold the line if you know that enemy sent his generals power or used super weapon
>>
>humvee #1
pathfinder
4 rocket goys

>humvee #2
ranger with flashbang
4 rocket goys

humvee #1 and humvee #2 go inside an assault chinook
>>
>>2424487
Vehicles by themselves cannot attack from assault chinook, after loading humvees you still have two more seats for rocket goys

What game are you talking about?
>>
>>2424633
Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour
>>
>>2423808
To be fair, flashbangs from transports are a bit janky due to targeting, ROF, and travel time. You risk trading if the garrison has a lot of rocket dudes.

Love the voice acting in this game.

Be honest, have you *ever* used the Chinook's building cleanse ability aside from being forced by that one prompt in the tutorial level?
>>
>>2425164
no, or 1-2 times at best, it's too risky besides looking cool, also because OP pic rel is overrated
>>
>>2424991
toxic tractor be like:
>hummuummdoisephoiluh
>>
>>2425164
You'd get shot down by rockets before the first rope even goes down.

Also things I never use:

>saboteur

Patriots do the job well enough and the other guys barely have any air force anyway.
>>
>>2427664
that's not the reason you use them. Having enough of them basically makes your army immune to rockets

Bunker buster bombs are ready, sir!
>>
>>2427113
IIRC the USofA's ambulance is kinda OP in ZeroHour cuz it now can also repair vechicles on the move.
BTW, when did you guyz learned that the Chinese napalm using units can make the anthrax pollution go away faster by force-firing on the ground?
>>
>>2428800
Didn't know that actually, but does this actualy mean that the Burgerclap Ambulance's detox spray is essentialy just a '"contaminator'" weapon that deals no damage?
>>
>>2427666
just spam paladins, get rocket immunity AND also the ability to actually do something other than stand like a retard as you get pummeled by enemy units
>>2428784
>can also repair vechicles on the move
repair drone
>>
>>2431032
only works on gla since they don't have air units. Even against them you should be using avengers anyway since they give a firerate bonus
>>
>>2423801
pathfinder is like lategame stuff

Has anyone ever used these? What do they even do?
>>
>>2432038
I am pretty sure that's how it works in the original too
>>
>>2432030
Power down buildings after a 3 second delay
Kill garrisons
Apparently they can also hurt infantry that stand too near them but I've never seen that.
>>
>>2432030
don't they fuck with incoming rockets? Could be useful against rocket buggies since they out range all base defenses.
>>
>>2433749
You're thinking of the Chink ECM tank which fucks with rockets, sometimes.

Ambi is pretty good, the Avenger is one if the best units in the game.
>>
>>2432030
They can disable structures, instantly clear garrisons at range, and also kill infantry in an area around them.
>>
>>2423701
>Generals
I don't think they are. All factions have good traits and bad traits, America just excels at certain things.
>In general
The whole "America is great and has high quality awesome units" is probably just a byproduct of reality of America being the most powerful nation and military on earth. Most game developers active today grew up in the afterglow of events like the fall of the USSR, the Gulf War, and the invasion of Iraq and the military technology present at the time along with the overall narrative that their gear was just better across the board. In a pure game design sense, it just makes them work as a good quality over quantity faction in strategy games.

Generals America is the best America in any RTS btw.

>>
>>2444475
the only place america in this game has a clear advantage is in the air. China and GLA both crush them on the ground if used correctly (and have way easier micro)
>>
>>2431032
>repair drone
are good pincushions for enemy AA and rockets, but not reliable for in-combat repairs. A single Ambi can heal an entire army faster, clears hazards, and is far cheaper.

Pic related.

>>2423701
Contra challenges are so fucking difficult. You have to do everything perfectly. Or maybe I suck at certain factions. I have pulled off all of them a year or two ago with maybe 2 factions but I have no idea which ones. And it was tedious.
>>
>>2445316
Tank is the only viable option on hard and even then it's tedious, all the artillery super units need too much babysitting. The Guan Yu when fully spooled up has the best DPS in the game so it can kill armies and trade with enemy super units quickly and without support, has anti air, also your tier 2 isn't made out of paper.
I should probably try it with nuke even though it would feel like cock and ball torture, the hadron collider is funny.
>>
>>2445107
The RTS shakes are powerful, CoH gives the strongest high for me.
>he makes a counter-offensive, I use my anthrax bomb (I've been without my scud storm for a while now) in my own base to hold back for just a few more minutes
Generals games seem to always devolve into these apocalyptic wastelands where both players are barely scraping by waiting for their chance to finally finish off their opponent.
>>
>>2445107
GLA shouldn't be beating China if the game lasts longer than 10 minutes. You're lucky you were playing against a retard.
>>
>>2446552
An issue of skill
>>
>>2428784
just learned today, make sense why the dragon tank has the swathe ability, usually pretty useless
>>
Man, there was a mod that added Europe as a faction and I can't remember it (no, not ROTR, I'm thinking about another one).
>>
>>2432846
>after a 3 second delay
you'd be eating a ton of lead by the time that's done
