Favorite General and why?

[F15pilotX 4]

Probably doesn't do near as much damage :wink:

[Cygnus X-1 12]

For each single shot not, nope. But overall, it does plenty of damage. More than the vanilla BM tank.

[F15pilotX 4]

Yeah, and I would rather have it, for that reason

Air Force General Granger cause enough KR's can take out anything.....usually and the auroras can tear ass (invulnerable b4 attack) so i use them to smash trucks so gun trucks rendered useless in some cases

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Granger is too weak early on. He cant expand as rapidly as the tank gen (example) and a good player will keep you from getting anywhere near the funds to support a massive airforce.

 

And when the Elite BMs come knocking at your door with Gat Tank escorts, bye bye airforce.

[Guest MadBadger]

yo silentdeath you play alot online? most Quickmatches i play dont last long enough for someone to build a strat center let alone build enough arouras to wipe out the quads i'd have if you started using arouras. The airfield space would be beter used for a war factory + baracks + supply drop.

 

ONLY purpose Arouras have is for knocking out powerplants and war factories..... they should never be used for anti-base defence WTF you think the stealth fighters for? its cheaper got more armour (well its paper bag armour instead of wet paper bag armour on the Arouras)

 

I only ever use arouras...... no wait.... i dont... There a waste of damn money. Id prefer an extra supply drop or war factory instead of 1 damn unit.

 

Also Cyg.... Granger the weakest?..... come on.... you can have 2 airfields and 2 50% compleate KR's before your war factories compleate.

 

the KR's are finished by the time the first quad is made.

 

those 2 take it out.

 

2 more KR's are finished/nearly finished

 

those 2 KR's kill the next quad.

 

another Airfiled finished.

 

first 2 KR's kill next quad.

 

second KR's kill power..... 1 might be lost if a quad is made

 

first 2 KRs nail that quad

 

third KR's finished which nail the war

 

Your screwed

 

Trust me ive done it so many times.

 

Its ALL about speed on Quickmatch. 1 building placed wrong, supply center too far from supplys, forgot to build a unit, didnt sell CC ect ect. ANY of those could mean your loss.

 

For want of a nail the shoe was lost, For want of the shoe the horse was lost, For want of the horse the battle was lost. tis true trust me.

 

 

(hey you can tell im drunk and up late cos im blithering on )

[Inferno 22]

I just prefer the Nuke General. However, the Demo and the Tank Gen are very good too.

 

You gotta love the nuke carpet bombing, $4500 for a nuke silo :lol: and radio-active shells

[Thorak 0]

Depending on the style of play I guess. I don't like to play the GLA (vanilla and the generals), so I think they are not so good. I'm best with playing USA, and therefore play them the most and therefore I think Laser or USAF are the best. SW general sucks and China is doing fairly well overall (INF and Nuke I think are best).

[Cygnus X-1 12]

@ Badger-that works well in 1 vs 1. Any larger, and Granger is Fed.

 

What abotu China, eh? I hear anti GLA strats, but no anti China strats...hmm....

 

Yes Granger is very dangerous, but most people cant use him well (yours truly) early on in the game.

[Inferno 22]

I think Granger is one of the (if not the) worst general in the game...

 

For the main reason that he doesn't have tanks or anything to compensate that with. And, I hate planes, except MiGs.

[Guest MadBadger]

@ Badger-that works well in 1 vs 1. Any larger, and Granger is Fed.

 

well.... any larger (2v2, 3v3) Granger is still a winner with the carpet bomb and defending Vs Rebels/sneak attacks and bombing attacking tanks.

 

in FFA..... Stealthed Commances & hummers with stealths to nail defences.

 

What abotu China, eh? I hear anti GLA strats, but no anti China strats...hmm....

 

...... errrr thought Anit-China strats were quite obvious.... Nail the hackers.... also hummers & buses can out manuver china tanks

 

(and im hardly likely the reveal how to kill my fave side now am i?)

 

Yes Granger is very dangerous, but most people cant use him well (yours truly) early on in the game.

 

not yours truly I can pritty much own someone in under 10 min with any gen..... if i bother trying

[Cygnus X-1 12]

the fact that I posted yours truly would imply that I was talking about myself.

 

Just ask Z how I fared with Granger against the Chinese Tank Gen :lol: :wink:

 

Lets just say I hate cliffs with gat cannons.

[Guest MadBadger]

Quick Chinook strike (3 Chinooks, 2 micro & 4 Tomahawks) should help remove that turret

 

Im ALWAYS using Chinooks if i can..... i mean after the supplys are gone you have EXTREMELY good carry-alls just laying.... well flying around your base

 

Norm load em up with 2 tanks/1 tank 1 medic/1 tank 1 avenger + 2 rocket troopers or 2 Pathfinders.

 

Extreamly good for a quick strike in at someones powers..... they will move most if not ALL there tanks from the front of there base to defend...... power goes down...... your tanks roll in @ front

 

I also norm lose my hit-n-run strike force (unless there tomahawks)

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Have your chinnooks ever tried crossing a tank force that was 1/3 Gat tanks, and they were all elite because it was the tank general :wink:

 

Lets just say, I havent flown a chinnook since then. I just sent them across the map, wasnt really paying attention, because i was coordinating airstrikes so my ground attack (via chinnook) wouldnt fail.

 

You can guess how well that went :oops: :wink: 8)

[Guest MadBadger]

.... do you REALLY think im so dumb as to take my Chinooks within a screen of a AA unit? I always sneak them in where i know for certain there are no AA or ive just powered down the defences by nailing a few power plants.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Last ditch effort, laggy comp, and I'm not brillinat at ZH. Prob because by the time ive finished one game, everyone else has fought a whole tournament.

Join the club :wink:

 

 

BTW back on topic the inf general is definately the best in quick early-in-the-game attacks :!:

[Cygnus X-1 12]

I've never liked the inf general all that much. I've seen what a good inf general can do, but in my opinion, their equipment is just too damn expensive.

 

Granted, it sux trying to assault the inf gen when they have advanced bunkers and minigunners everywhere

 

I rather like the Tank Gen and Airforce gen myself, but again, Im no master at ZH. The ability to hit your opponent fast and hard where it hurts with minimal retaliation is unmatched by anyone unless they go sw on you. Thats the main reason for my like of Granger. As for the tank gen, lots of armored firepower. Autoloader really makes a diff, and coupled with the gen bonus of elite bms....well you get the pic. And of course, having pretty much every vehicle ranked when built is a huge bonus to hte war effort.

 

I know assault troop crawlers are nifty, and that inf gen listening outposts are loaded, but again, im not a huge inf type.

 

Spend too much time playing EAW anyways :wink:

[Inferno 22]

SW general builds particle cannons for $2500. And ya gotta love superweapons

 

Max superweapons I ever built was 24 :shock:: 17 Nukes and 7 Particle Cannons

 

It was vs. the cpu though....

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Ive never let a game drag out that much. The money is better spent on an Airforce or a Tank assault (of Kursk-esque proportions, I might add)

[Guest MadBadger]

Might i add the super duppa Hackers Inf gen gets?

 

Stealthed AND veteran..... not to be sniffed at!

Yeah, he also gets a super duper ultra extra cool-ass black lotus, but she doesn't seem to do anything different than being veteran :?

[Guest MadBadger]

She can get to elite faster

 

Also Vet lotus hacks stuff faster.

Too bad Lotus can't "suck the internet dry"...

[Guest MadBadger]

:rolf: Low veeeery low

 

She can hack $1000 out of any supply stash/center
