Favorite General and why?

[Gothica 0]

the tractor cant do anything to the infantry base defences cuz they have better bunkers!!!!!!!and throwing toxins on them dont work!!!

[Cygnus X-1 12]

You can beat the Toxin General with the Infantry general by simply outnumbering him. Though the Toxins may be able to defeat the men in the field, when the tractors get near base defenses, they're history. Its balance once again.

Remember one thing though...

 

The Toxin General still has access to his tanks and artillery.

 

The Infantry General dosen't.

 

:wink:

Scuds have armor made out of cardboard

 

1 Mig take care of artillery, 1 assault troop thingy filled with tank hunters take care of tanks :wink:

[Acerz492 1]

MiGs are hella expensive for the Infantry General. As are Assualt Troopcrawlers.

Toxin does have tanks but infantry have better helux!!!!

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

The infantry helix is indeed better and their base defenses are much better than Dr Thraxs means of attacking.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

you know what I just realised.

 

The US Generals dont have tanks, and the Chinese infatry General has no tanks (real ones now, not support 'tanks')

 

thats 4/9 Generals without tanks. And look at how these wars are fought. WW2 style. Which was all about tanking.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

I found the US Generals, except Townes, were turtling generals whereas the Chinese ones seemed more orientated towards specific thinmg Inf = cityfighting and Tank = fighting in the open. There may have been no tanks, but what they did have made them the best in their particular field.

toxin general cause its cheap, fast, and powerful

NUKE generral cause just brute force with mass damage

Infantry generals for mass production of highly powerful infantry

[Cygnus X-1 12]

you know what i keep finding about the Toxin General is that

 

His AA is the same as normal, so USAF and SW > Toxin dude

 

Toxics arent very good against vehicles so Chinese Tank and Nuke > Toxic

 

Stealth pwns Toxic anyday, cause you cant gas em if you cant see em

 

Stealth and Demo > Toxic

 

Lasers out range Toxics Laser > Toxics

 

now of course, all that can be offest by a good commander, but I believe that Toxins are best used against the GLA. Actually a lot of the ZH weaponry is like that. Liek Avengers. Who has all the airpower ? US. And who has the avenger. US.

 

Emeror is a biger tank to take on bigger stuffs. So whos got the big stuff that needs to be taken out. China.

 

Chemical suits, Listening outposts, spy drones, GPS, and such give away all the stealthyness. So Stealth best used against other GLA.

 

Now of course, they all can be used against any one of the others with great effectiveness, but Im jsut saying here. Take note.

my fav general is the USA because a horde of avengers,paladins,humvees with MD's are pwnage :P

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Too bad the US Generals dont have any tanks.

 

I have always found that particular fact to be rather strange :?

[Thorak 0]

Townes has tanks, the laser tank is a better tank than the crusader.

I thought you would've figured that out by now Cygnus..you've had Zero Hour for long enough. :wink:

Too bad the US Generals dont have any tanks. :?

 

are you kidding me US Generals have tanks except granger

[Azrael 0]

No, only Townes has tanks... Ntw, my fave general is (like I said before) Laser... I love being a turtle player, and no one yet has gone in my base and obliterated it... The Laser Patriots are just too good, and when I attack I'm almost invincible cause the Laser Crusaders never miss when attacking...

ooohh sorry...my fave gen is AirForce, gotta love bunker busters and king raptors

[Azrael 0]

Yep... Nothing beats the Airforce General's planes except lasers and bullets...

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

The Af Generals weakness's are made up for in the defensive ability of planes IMO. If you can defend with him for long enough, then use his generals abiolities to the best advantages possible, you're guarenteed a win. I like playing as him because of the lack of terrain restrictions on all his best weapons.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Laser tank

 

lol

 

I veiw that as more of a "special" tech unit. Like the Microwave "tank"

 

by tank i mean Crusader, or more importantly, the Paladin

 

US Generals do not have access to the Crusader or the Paladin

[Thorak 0]

The microwave tank cannot destroy an army or a base alone (and by alone I mean a group without other vehicles or infantry).

The laser tank is very well capable to do serious damage without support vehicles (Against China or USA it could become a little problematic as they have no AA, but against GLA you could do with laser tanks alone.

I think the laser tank is to be counted as a modified crusader rather than a "tech" unit.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

Laser tanks are replacements for the mainstream battle tanks, that therefore makes them the default tank, thus not a 'tech' unit.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Lasertanks get pwned by Scuds, then you be wishing you had AA

 

but

 

how does their armor hold up ?

 

and the other 2 still dont have armor

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

The other 2 have a substancial armour and capacioty for their tactical role. Remember, the best way to shunt laser tanks is by shunting the base power of Townes. Laser Tanks have more weakness than the Crusader and the Paladin in that respect.

 

The Laser Tanks speed really left a lot to be desired IMO. Although it was the equal of the crusader, and even the paladin, the expense and power requirements play on resources too much because you need a seperate power grid just for a heavy tank force.
