How is it possible to beat Laser General w/ Airforce General

[Guest tonyrice77]

I was playing a friend of mine, I was US Air Force, he was US Laser General. EVERY Generals attack except for Particle cannon his anti-air laser units destroy. If land units shoot missiles, they are destroyed by their lasers. If I try to fly a plane, or planes near a unit, one unit took down 6 choppers in less than 3 seconds. And most of the generals attacks for US Airforce are missile based, and those can be defeated with lasers. So how am I supposed to beat this???? I am dumbfounded and annoyed and perplexed, and many other things...... someone please help........

You try to beat a bit more defensive than attack, that way you can concenntrate more on getting supllies to build a few Particle Cannons, you can also use Aurora's to do some damage.

This may seem like a cheat's way of winning, but here's a tactic I use. The first topic is defence. Build a solid line of Patriots to take out vehicles and aircraft, making sure to build them so that you have lots of room to build. Then when you have the points to do so, get the Pathfinder to back up the Patriots. Of course, keep an eye on your power, and funds as you will need plenty of both. When you either have a good defence of your supply depot is low, build a Supply Drop to bring in additional funds. When you are confident you have sufficiant defences build two Particle Cannons to destroy Towne's. Once you have done this concentrate on building Supply Drops and Particle Cannons, and the power stations to keep them running. Once you have about ten Particle Cannons charged reveal the map. Target three for the Command Centre and any remaining ones for the Dozers. Once you've cleared them out, take out the offensive buildings such as the Air Field, Barricks and War Factory. Then systematically wipe out his remaining forces. You may want to attack his power stations while building up an attack force to get the job done quicker. Like I said, it's a bit of a cheat, but is effective.

I usualy play without SW , because it requires more skill and most of the online players play this way , and foud 2 ways:

 

1) A rush at the begining of the game ( im to lasy to explain it to you now, I think you know it)

2) After you built your strategy start building auroras and start destroing his Drop Sites . You will lose 2000$ he 2500$. Soon he will run out of cash :arrow: victory.

[Guest tonyrice77]

So I guess the strategy is that you have to try to build particle cannons ASAP, because that pretty much is the only effective way to do any damage without getting air units destroyed with lasers. Plus he never leaves buildings unguarded without some sort of a laser vehicle. Too bad every air force attack is missile based............... he knows he can beat me when hes laser general and its killing me, i want to rock him real bad.......................

Read again: play a game without SW and try this strategy ... 8)

If you don't want to use a Particle Cannon rush, then simply using one or two to destroy the power stations and lasers and then utilising air fighters (I personnaly go for the Commanche rush) on the Command Centre and Dozers is an okay stratergy. An Assault Chinock is similar to my favored Helix, so you could try using those as well. Oh, and remember that Townes can only power one section of his base at a time. If you want to use Auroras then one idea is to use a platoon of rangers to create a distraction while your Auroras destroy any target which takes your fancy. And Granger has access to carpet bombing, the Spectre Gunship and EMP pulse, so if you haven't already you might want to make good use of these.

Doesn't Townes have a few Particle Cannon of his own?

And you only 2 Particle Cannons to destroy aCommand Center, If it isn't being repaired during the Particle Cannon attack

When I fought against Townes, he had two Particle Cannons. This was only on normal however, he may have more on hard. And whenever I use a Particle Cannon I find that I always require three to destroy Command Centres. Two very nearly destroy it, but for me I use three, and use the third one to destroy the Dozer that's usually nearby as well.

I would just use auroras to take out his strategy, money supply and power plants. This easily cripples the enemy, however this tactic does not work against GLA. GLA are too hard to beat with the AF gen.

It is not impossible. Use Aurora Bomber to destroy his lasser cannon, and spend your General points for A310 Strike level 3 and Fuel Air Bomb (Upgrade it into Mother of All Bombs, it's harder to destroy by laser cause it's stealth). Use A310 Strike, Mother of All Bombs, a lot of Aurora Bombers, and Carpet Bombing at the same time to destroy his defense and power source. I bet it will crippled his base defense, then use your full strength of airforce to destroy his base remains.
