Aircraft defending against aircraft ^^ Pyrotechnics between MiGs and Raptors! Pity the attacking plane always has the speed advantage on a small map :( Quad cannons are nice, but it's a pity you can't scalvage from shot down planes. For China, it's normally a 5 rocketmen (oh sweet sweet Horde Bonus) garrisoning a bunker coupled with a gattling tank/cannon. Anyway, pity, no 'planes' option :(

However, you are very right [wink] lol, there's nothing like an F-22-launched air-to-air missile slamming into the afterburner of a MiG and turning it into a fireball.

i voted quad cannon because, it's the best unit GLA has in a large group. lasers and avengers are next, altho they are expensive, require power or teching up. i would never use any kind of missle as AA, especially against air gen. so that makes EMP, stingers (of course), missle infantry (against alot of planes), and using your own airplanes as AA useless. altho alone missle infantry are lame, but stick 20 of them in 4 humvees with tow missle and it would be hard to be beaten.

[/quote] depends what those hummers are up against. if they are up against 4 air gen raptors then if those raptors target one humvee each the humvees would all die kinda quickly, same thing would most likely happen against migs unless the hummers are spread out, less losses then but you would still lose some humvees. teaming them up with avengers would work very well though since the humvees with missile dudes could handle tanks so the avengers could get away if attacked while the avengers protect the humvees from airstrikes [smile]

MD humvees + tow are great at taking out helicopters and tanks, in a mid-big group + S&D

Who would prevail in an economically fair Commache (with rocket barrage) vs Rockvee fight (with TOW)? (Economically means taking into account how expensive it is having to train 5 missilemen plus humvee compared to Commache) I just don't like to admit Commaches suck ^^ Especially against light armoury which can be taken out with 4 rockets and a tad bit of machinefire.

Humvee $700.00 5 Missile Defensers $1,500.00 TOW Missile upgrade $800.00 Total $3,000.00 All Humvees(Fully upgraded) Afterwards: [color=red]$2,200.00[/color] Comanche $1,500.00 Rocket Pods $8,00.00 Total $2,300.00 All Comanches(Fully Upgraded) Afterwards: [color=green]$1,500.00[/color] Humvee Health: 240 Comanche Health: 220 [I'll let you draw your conclusions]

W00t humvees

Posted by: Jetril - Monday, June 5, 2006 1:35:58 AM
W00t comanches :P Now that I think about it though, I guess Rockvee would win since even if the Comanche does manage to pummel the Humvee as it surely would, an Evac of the missile men might kill the Comanche before it can machine gun them down as it's still focused on the humvee. Still, in a group, spring rocket pods... ^^
