The Best Aircraft???

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Black Eagle. The strike capability is unmatched.

 

Kirov, in military speak, translates to Big Fat Ugly Target. YFO translates to "WTF? I thought the Aliens from Independance day were in bigger ships....oh well. Time to die *ppppffffssshhhhhhtttt* (missile launches) "

[Inferno 22]

When you hear "Kirov reporting" you know it's too late to build air defences.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

When you hear "Kirov reporting" you know you have a good 20 min to build AA and set your IFVs to attacking it :roll:

[Inferno 22]

Or 1 good minute in which you can set up about 5 air defences meaning they can still destroy your base...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

which is why you use mobile AA, so they cant go around it :wink:

[CCCP Gosho 0]

OR you support your Kirovs with Sige choppers and the IFV tread is neutralized...

[Inferno 22]

What if the enemy has Battle Fortresses with GGIs?

[CCCP Gosho 0]

APOC rush or tanks rush and deployed Siege choppers.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

If you're tank rushing, you may as well leave the Kirovs at home.

 

Battle Fortresses with GGI's will pwn Soviet armor assaults anyway, including ones that bring alone the Kirovs.

 

And Seige shoppers = fail against IFVs. If you deploy them, then they are highly vulnerable to harriers/black eagles and fast moving grizzly tanks.

I dunno, i found the air power overall, aside thopse DAMNED kirovs, too weak. _and when it comes to the infamous AI trikirov rush, easy solution -- undeploy the mcv and move away....while IFVs have breakfast...

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Soviet airpower in RA2 = fail. unless you have Boris. But if they cant see that laser pointer in all its laserpointeryness glory, then they are blind. :wink:

 

Black Eagles. They are just annying as barney to fight against and hold out against tank assaults after your ally in a 2v2 abandons the fight.

[CCCP Gosho 0]

Then again,a simple mod to remove Boris' laser beeing so shiny would make him D BEST HERO~

[Cygnus X-1 12]

He's still vulnerable for an awfully long time while targeting

 

In YR: CoI, once the MiGs are on screen, you can control them, but if you dont do anything, they will fly away, unless you leave him targeting a target.

 

but the laser is still bright as hell. Balance I suppose.
