help defending against SCUD storms + buildings being capture

[peachaddict 0]

Can you help me with tips on how to protect my base against SCUD storms when Im in skirmish mode as the USA? I also am unfimilar with how to stop my buildings from being overtaken from the enemy...I know how to do it in Yuri's Revenge, but no idea how to do it in Zero Hour. My airstrip was captured and I had no idea as to what to do when it was blinking, and then it got sold on me!!

 

Thanks!

For the Scud Storm problem, space your builidings out a little bit. That makes it tougher for the enemy to target multiple buildings. Keep in mind , though that this strategy makes it tougher to select your aircraft. This strategy also works well against Nuclear Missiles of the Chinese. For the building capture, have a Humvee filled with Pathfinder snipers take out the unit capturing the building. Keep in mind, the Pathfinder can't be used unless you select it from your general abilities. I usually use the Pathfinder to support my Patriot Missile Batteries against infantry. Also, you can scatter Pathfinders in your base against the GLA's Rebel Ambush. The Pathfinder ability requires you to be a 3-star general.

Good question. But it's worse when playing against a human oponent. A week ago I played against someone who used GLA Stealth General. I used China's Infantry General. He built FOUR Scud Storms and a lot of hidden Stinger Sites around his base. I tried a desperate attack with about 100 Tankhunters and 1 Attack Outpost... bad move... they were all finished. I didn't even have a chance to launch my Nuke as the Scud Storms struck my nuke reactors and powered down my base... I surrendered.

Still the same tip, cnc_sage. Space your buildings out & don't even try to use Infantry General on a human GLA opponent or a GLA Toxin General. Basically, he can wipe your forces out with Anthrax. Or Toxin Tractors contaminating the battlefield with their Anthrax. Also, you are doing scuicide using 100 Tank Hunters. Stinger Sites, if given the chance to hit infantry, can deal some serious damage. To take out the nasty buggers, combine plenty of Assault Troop Crawlers filled with Mini-Gunners to take out the infantry inside the Stinger Sites and Assault Troop Crawlers filled with Tank Hunters to take out vehicles. Yes, it's possible to take out the infantry inside the Stinger Sites that are shooting Stiners with flame-type, toxin-type, bullet-type and nuclear radiation weapons. They get killed. :lol: 8) :lol: 8)

I didn't know troops can fire out of Assault Troop Transports, but I know about the part in witch I can kill the stinger soldiers in the Stinger Site, although they will regenerate.

Troops can.

[cnc_sage 0]

What about the regular Troop Crawler?

[Azrael 0]

Not for the ordinary Troop Crawler. Troops can't shoot out of it. :bouncer:

Yeah, original troop crawler is sitting duck for aircrafts and missile units.

Another way to defend against a Scud Storm is to use your superweapon when you have discovered it and use your generals points on the best A10 strike (USA) artillary strike (China) or rebel ambush (GLA) to finish them off. You can also use Commanches, Chain Guns or Quad Cannons to defend against infantry until you can get the Pathfinders or if you are playing as China or the GLA.

Usually I just surround every possible entrance in my base & patrol the inside with humvees filled with 4 Missile Defenders and one Pathfinder.

Deffending against the SCUDS should start from the begining of the game..

it changes for the army you use actuly and amount of money you start with..

in 50000 noobs game you will see many SCUDS in 10000 you wont see them soon..so you should be prepared.

 

If you use USA then you have great mobilty and 4 or 5Aruras should be ready be4 your opponnet build his superweapon.if you are afraid you lose the Aruras make them guard any area so when you lose the airfield you do not lose the jets.

 

using China should be a battle of superweapone.if your enemy builds one you build one..or else start attacking early in the game.you have the power.

 

notice that in games that have no limit on super weapons you should spread your base all over the map so you do not lose much if you got hit.
