I say Tank.

Also, no posts saying "I think all the Generals are equal, and are evenly balanced. There is no such concept.

Laser General, over reliance on power, not that flash for benefits. If I remember correctly, his advantages include cheaper Avengers, Laser Crusaders, Laser Turrets and advanced power right? Compared to Aurora Alpha and EMF Patriots for Superweapon General and PDL and King Raptor for Air General, Laser's a pretty tame USA General. I'd prefer playing regular, which I wouldn't say for any of the other Generals and their countries (besides Stealth in certain situations where I gnash teeth at lack of tanks).

Vchina (Vannilla or regular China) because he lacks anything special compared to the other Van. generals. His only real advantadge, and I've said this before, Is if you want to mix regular tanks with regular firestorm MIG's.

I'd say Nuke gen he just doesn't seem to have any great benefits, however Laser gen is walking a fine line, he really doesn't get alot of good upgrades, shame... So much more ptential, you'd think they'd have at least buffed up the paladin or Avenger (Made it stronger/more effective, not cheaper)
My opinion is likely to change as I improve

i dont know what your problem is.. maybe your just noob... well its true that laser gen. doesnt have many good advantages, but he also doesnt miss anything... take for example airforce gen. he doesnt have any good thanks.... but laser gen. has nice thanks, and still has the normal america airpower... aurora bomber, comanches and so on....

its the same with nuke gen.. he has good thanks, nuke bombers and he is nt missing anything, like the tank gen. is...

i vote laser gen. he has no artillery at all, use a few aurora's/artillery strike/demo gen rebel ambush/or other gen point thing on his powerplants and he wont have any working defenses or working laser crusaders, you can then quickly send your army in and blast his apart, or just do that with your artillery, or both. he can't do anything then unless he has some paladins.

Wouldn't it have been feairer if the Laser Gen has the SW Gens CF reactors, & she had the laer gens ones, that'd have made it a bit more balanced imo

true, i totally agree with that. and the laser gen shouldn't just have cheaper tanks but also really stronger ones when it comes to their weapons. he specializes in lasers but all he gets with his 'better' lasers is cheaper tanks with a giant backdraw of being dependent on powerplants (how does that even work for the laser crusader, is it just me or does it make no sense?....). they really did a bad job on the laser general, he could have been so much more.

Tank General. No artillery, more expensive infantry and aircraft, and nothing to compensate for the loss of artillery. (The Laser General at least has Aurora Bombers.)

He doesn't have the greatest benefits, but I like him because he has no big disadvantages or units taken away. That is what makes him good. He is normal China with a few bonuses.

Yeah, I'd agree with Laser not being very good, he is definitely my second bet.

Although, SWG isn't that bad, I mean, cannons for $2500, and EMP base defenses... Still, I never ever play as her.

Thanks = Tanks. On topic, Laser General has nice tanks, so does Vanilla USA. Laser General has normal American airpower, so does Vanilla USA. For the cost of tanks (which I personally don't use for America anyway), Air Force General gets Stealth Commanches (don't even bother comparing to the regular, this has such a huge advantage over the regular counterpart), Combat Chinooks (it's like a Paladin Tank with a souped up PDL system and faster firing rate, that's only vulnerable to large groups of anti-air, since the 7 MDs can take out any vehicles while the 1 Pathfinder takes care of infantry) and of course the King Raptor (THE quick strike unit of the game in terms of survivability + damage). Considering the amount of kickarse General Powers that Air Force general gets in comparison to Laser General also makes up for the lack of tanks. The flow between offence and defence is easily managed with Air Force General as all units have high mobility.

Seriously, lack of good tanks is NOTHING compared to the advantages AFG gets.

It's because the GLA Generals have clear cut different uses compared to each other. Cellar dwellers Tank and Laser Generals both are way too similiar to their plain counterparts or even if a different use/advantage is avaliable, it's not substantial. Wouldn't go as far to say the GLA Generals are the best though :P

Okay who the hell is voting infantry? You have got to be kidding me. They're the only Chinese portion with a decent defense, and a decent air force. They are NOT the worst in the game.

People who vote infantry as bad are people who haven't seen their true potential and preffer tanks.

Another Infantry fan, I see. Infantry Gen is my Most used.

Stealth is my favorite general to use. (I think Infantry is the strongest portion though)

I never get sick of using hijackers and jarmen to steal tanks.
