Need help in China vs GLA

[Lloche 0]

Hi, I just begin with zero hour.

 

I have a big problem : how to stop a rush (a quad full of rocket launchers or full of kamikaze) from GLA at the begining of the game ? I have not time to build a defensive army.

 

Do you build some gattlings or bunkers ?

 

thk !

i suppose you mean a tech full of RPGs or Terrorists?

 

Mines help a lot if they use Techterror, you should be able to get that up before they get to you.

 

As china you really have to harass GLA constantly, try sending a dragon tank down the flanks and burn some important structures and never stop keeping pressure on him. Try to kill him early on. Otherwise GLAs superior late game economy and units etc will own you.

sorry for the bad names of units, i'm playing with a french game. so i've french names and i translate them ... but that's not simple for me !

 

thk for the hints. i'll try tonight.

Just pop out a few Rocket soldiers. Most GLA will shy away from them.

 

Also use your supply trucks! run a supply truck upto the tec if it stops next to your supply and get ready to run the terrorists over! if your lucky 2-3 will die before the supply truck gets blown up as well. Its all about costs. the GLA spent 500 + 200 + 200 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 1k and you only lose 600.

 

After the first one you should have a war up and running and be making 2-3 Gat tanks. Position one near your supply and one near back of war.

 

Wars, Supply & Power plants are the main targets so protect them.

 

Make a flame tank and go BBQ his workers.... most build around 6-8 workers and at 200 a pop thats more cash than your flame tank!

 

 

Also its BS that GLA is the best later on.... sure GLA can get cash and spam crap units but if you have cash you can spam OL's OL spam > Everything GLA has (minus bus Spam thou OL's with Rocket men in work well)

 

If he is usin Bus Spam u spam rocket men. thou have a air of migs circling waiting for JK to show up

but its so difficult !

 

you said that i have to build such unit to beat a first, another unit to beat bus, etc... but i only discover the enemy unit when it fight me !

 

I have the feeling that lots of opponent cheats. I played yesterday vs a usa air army. He build one plane and go exactly where I put my supply trucks ! One could be a lucky shot but two in one minute is more than lucky.

 

Thank you again.

dont forget US has the satellite scan thing and spy drone so he probably could see you

also alot is just common sense... hes not gonna look for supply trucks where there are no supplys....

 

Scouting supply piles with a plane is a good tactic....

 

as for the rest.... you should have at least 5 min between a tec rush to battle busses.... also if your attacking you should be able to see what he is doing! fly a mig as far into his base! if you see a war factory with 2-3 baracks built close/large groups of RPG troopers you know hes making buses!

 

Lotus is very helpfull at getting you intell.... heck even if you just stick her a bit outside your base shes good! use her as a frontal outpost to spot enemys comming to you/stealthed units.

 

you can also use Chinas Fury generals power (the one that makes all your units go Red and stronger) as a GPS reveal..... it will reveal areas of the map for you (will not reveal stealthed units) IMO its a waste of a gen point..... be better off scouting an enemys base with Arty/Carpet bomb

 

Lastly...

 

Helixes! they have a LOS as large/larger than Chinnoks! use it! fly a Helix at an Enemys base and turn it away just as the enemy starts shooting it. If you go all around the outside of his defences like this you should see the vast majority of his base! Also they are good as forward obs like i said about Lotus.

 

(personaly I dont bother a great deal with forward Obs as Im mostly just attacking anyway although I sometimes string a network of drones around my base..... watch out for that pesky Burton, Lotus or JK)

Build five Helixs, one with a speeker tower and the rest with bunkers then load them with rocket soldiers. This is effective against all but the largest anti air rush. Having a few tanks, Overlords if you can, will easily take care of any Quad Cannons you encounter, simply fly away when they attack and leave them to the tanks.
