why are the jewSA overpowered in every game?
Niggas be like>rockvee is the best stratBut personally I always put 1 pathfinder in each rockvee to deal with infantry niggas.
>>2423801>a humvee with 1 (one) marine just casualy passes by
>shit tanks>shit economy>units need to be constantly microed to be effective>wall of heavy anti air that my cuckmanches are somehow breakingUSA is the dogshit faction
Is there ever a reason to use anything other than Search And Destroy?
>>2424230skill issue holy shit
>>2424235Bombardment when using generals power or concentrating fire, hold the line if you know that enemy sent his generals power or used super weapon
>humvee #1pathfinder4 rocket goys>humvee #2ranger with flashbang4 rocket goyshumvee #1 and humvee #2 go inside an assault chinook
>>2424487Vehicles by themselves cannot attack from assault chinook, after loading humvees you still have two more seats for rocket goys
>>2424487>raptors closing in"lil airshow for our fans out there"
What game are you talking about?
>>2424633Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour
>>2423808To 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.
>>2424633Starcarft 2
>>2423701the sneaky sand niggas are always a nightmare to deal with
>>2423701Love 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?
>>2425164no, or 1-2 times at best, it's too risky besides looking cool, also because OP pic rel is overrated
>>2424991toxic tractor be like:>hummuummdoisephoiluh
>>2425164You'd get shot down by rockets before the first rope even goes down.Also things I never use:>Toxin tractor spray ability>saboteur>Lotus car hacking>nuke reactor overdrive>ambulance>avenger>Repair general ability
>>2427113>not using avengersholy fuck you are retarded
>>2424633boku no pico
cose in real live they meet
>>2427160Patriots do the job well enough and the other guys barely have any air force anyway.
>>2427664that's not the reason you use them. Having enough of them basically makes your army immune to rockets
>>2424633Age of Mythology
Bunker buster bombs are ready, sir!
>>2427113IIRC 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?
>>2428800Didn'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?
>>2427666just 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 moverepair drone
>>2431032only 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
>>2423801pathfinder is like lategame stuff
Has anyone ever used these? What do they even do?
>>2432038I am pretty sure that's how it works in the original too
>>2432030Power down buildings after a 3 second delayKill garrisonsApparently they can also hurt infantry that stand too near them but I've never seen that.
>>2432030don't they fuck with incoming rockets? Could be useful against rocket buggies since they out range all base defenses.
>>2433749You're thinking of the Chink ECM tank which fucks with rockets, sometimes.
>>2432030Disabling your own Supply Drop Zone to get a free drop instantly
>the most knowledgable person ITT got banned and all of his contribution was axed by jannytroonsThanks for nothing as usual.
behold
>>2427113Ambi is pretty good, the Avenger is one if the best units in the game.
>>2432030They can disable structures, instantly clear garrisons at range, and also kill infantry in an area around them.
>>2423701>GeneralsI don't think they are. All factions have good traits and bad traits, America just excels at certain things.>In generalThe 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.
>>2424633Renegade X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VHennwBhG8There's so few of us left...
>>2444475the 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 droneare 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.
>>2423701>playing an online quickmatch in C&C Generals: Zero Hour>I'm stealth general, he's china infantry>most of the game is us going back and forth, but I'm mostly on the defensive>I make nub mistakes like taking 10 minutes before going for oil derricks>I get my scud storm up but I have to use it defensively against his invading army>he uses Black Lotus a few times but I destroy/sell my structures before he can take them>I stealth my real buildings and leave my fake ones exposed, he blows up my fake structures with airstrikes>I'm basically resolved to losing, but I'm an annoying chucklefuck so I hold out as long as I can; I'm basically on the defensive>he starts building multiple nukes, I KNOW I'm fucked now>he nukes my base, and I'm basically barely holding on>finally without expecting it, I unlocked the sneak attack which opens a tunnel entrance anywhere on the map>I open a tunnel in the back of his base and sent all my quad cannons, taking out his air force and some power>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>meanwhile I keep pumping out quad cannons>I say "fuck it" and launch another sneak attack in the back of his base>I take out his power, then eat away at his production buildings>I go for his nukes, which are powered down>just as I destroy his last nuke, he surrenders>my entire body surges with adrenaline, and I cannot stay seated>walking around and shaking for five minutes from the adrenaline rushPic related.
>>2423701Contra 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.
>>2445316Tank 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.
>>2445107The 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 minutesGenerals 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.
>>2445107GLA shouldn't be beating China if the game lasts longer than 10 minutes. You're lucky you were playing against a retard.
>>2446552An issue of skill
>>2428784just 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 delayyou'd be eating a ton of lead by the time that's done
