It's not MiG's I'm worried about, it's Gattling Tanks. Gatling Tanks are soo freaking overpowered it's not even funny. There's that one COMPLETELY unstoppable rush of China's against USA on a small map... the Gattling Tank/Tank Hunter rush. Jesus christ just give the damn Gattling TAnks 150 range like every other unit in the game (except for the Overlord, which has 175 range, but that makes sense) ---
i use gla
i dont have a problem at all with gatling tanks
they are not that powered
IF you dont think migs are overpowered how bout you play one of my tsl friends as china
and then you will see.
the gat cannon is witch.. shooting thorugh buildings to hit a trarget.. how gay. ________________________________________________

Oh so the fact that a Gattling Tank shreds a Humvee (even loaded with 5 MD's) is completely fair. GLA has less of a challenge than USA, since they have Scorps. However, the Gattling Tank virtually has no counter. Humvees get killed, you need at least THREE MD's with laser lock to kill a single Gattling Tank, and if they have TWO Gattling Tanks you need like 7 MD's. It just goes up higher as more Gattling Tanks involved. You need THREE Raptors, even with Laser-Guided missiles, to kill ONE Gattling Tank. The ONLY counter are Crusaders and Paladins, and you need to keep your units moving at the Gattling tanks. Also, since Gattling Tanks don't slow down when they're damaged, you need to make sure you hit it hard and hit it fast. Gattling Tanks ALSO move faster than Crusaders or Paladins. Also, Crusaders/Paladins get owned by Tank Hunters. To add
insult to injury, the Gattling Tank is one of the two only ground units that are not siesge units in the game to have 175 range, rather than the usual 150 range. (The other unit is the Overlord, which makes sense, since they are Heavy Support tanks)
So what does USA have to counter it? The only way to counter it is by using a combination of Paladins and Ambulances, so that means you have to sacrifice your first point on Paladins rather than Spy Drones. You need the ambulances because Gattling Tanks shred any type of infantry. Ambulances are the only USA unit with Rocket Resistant armor, so they have to run over the Tank Hunters once the Gattling Tanks are distracted. Gattling Tanks ALSO happen to shred Ambulances, so it requires a LOT of micro. ---
Oh, and BTW, MiG's are hardly overpowered. All USA needs is a single Paladin, and the MiG's firestorm is negated. Since the missiles do very little damage themselves, it's not much of a problem. GLA has a slightly harder time with this, due to the ridiculous build time of the Quad Cannon (20 Seconds) and the MiG's build tiem (10 seconds), but they can cope. ---
yeah the gattling tank is way overpowered which is the reason why china is so powerful, and i was playing gla yesterday and got screwed over because there quad cannon cant build in 10 seconds, that needs to be fixed
Yeah, GLA Build times are pretty ****ed up. Look at this:
The Quad Cannon builds in double the time of the Gattling Tank, yet is a weaker unit.
The Toxin Tractor builds in double the time of the Dragon Tank, yet is a weaker unit.
The Marauder builds in 20 seconds, while the Paladin builds in 12.
The Rebel builds in 10 seconds, while a Ranger builds in 5.
Rocket Buggies build twice as slowly as MiG's.
An Arms Dealer builds in 40 seconds, while a War Factory builds in 25.
A Stinger Site builds in 50 seconds, while a Patriot/Gattling Cannon takes 25, and is a weaker building.
The Overlord and the Marauder have the same build times.
So that leaves them with only a handful of decent build times, mainly being the Tunnel Network and the Scorpion Tank. ---
Ah dude.... GLA is strong anought, it'S good that there tanks take time to build... it takes 3 minutes to get tech level max with GLA. (in a non rushing game ofcourse)
Did I ever say the GLA are bad? No. Try reading my posts more clearly. All that I'm saying is that they have all of these really long build times, and one extremely good tank that builds extremely quickly.
As it stands, the Scorpion has the fastest non infantry build time. Hell, it builds faster than GLA Infantry build time (7 seconds for the scorpion, and 10 seconds fo the Rebel, or any other unit). HOwever, the reason that the GLA build times are so long is because of the GLA Power Bug. For some reason, the game thinks that the GLA is always in low power, so all of their build times were doubled. This is why getting a power plant as GLA is so valuable, it makes all of the build times half of what they are right now, INCLUDING THE SCORPION. The Scorpion then builds in 3.5 seconds.
There is even an extremely simple, but expensive, way to get a dozer. All you do is use Jarmen, snipe a dozer, quickly build a Power PLant in your base. Any half decfent player will kill the dozer before it leaves the base, so you finish it with a GLA Worker. ---
Well, generally, setting up a new base is EXTREMELY expensive, but you can do as you want. I generally just get a Power PLant, since you've already spent enough money ($1500 for Jarmen, $800 for the Power Plant) ---

Agreed. I used to love the USA, but after playing China for the last 100 games or so I am reluctant to go back to a team that takes 15 minutes to feel secure.
then ur not playing right!.. or the right maps for USA ________________________________________________
