i am assuming you are talking about challenge. yes it will not produce paladin if strat center destroyed, but laser ai will keep rebuild his strat center.

times for progress news update~

nuke never need the weak defence structure, battlemaster + radiator with speaker tower for early game, while for late game 3 overlord (2radiator + 1speaker tower) with 2 nuke cannon behind them is the best moving defense in contra. I can finish the whole hard challenge using nuke with turtling defense tactic (non aggresive tactic)

Yes the buildings outside his mainbase must all destroyed

sorry GLA boss challenge only can save and load once, after you load the game and save it, it will crash. so think properly before your 1st load of saved game

does this addon worked in challenge?

Is the chinese propaganda officer chinese voice ready?
please share it here when it is ready

Will dr.trax acid and toxin GP replaced with a chemical pump in next patch?

Is this addons affect the generals challenge?
How to install it? And is this addons need to be fully deleted when installing the next version of official contra?

I'm not sure it is the enhanced tactics for Boss USA caused there is no more empty dozer near the radar tech building. So make two more empty dozer out of the attack route in next version.

And for the GLA Boss, the empty dozer at north of player base will automatically activated when the neutral empty building near of it damaged, it will mover to repair those damaged building and the empty dozer became uncaptureable.

only wait for the next version since the dev team knew the bad performance in Boss USA map.
So far the USA boss map only can smoothly played by using GLA faction.

So are you mean build a lot of nuke bullet guards as defend line and a little number of tanks (battlemaster) hiding deep inside the base?
And you fight the MLRS with that anti missile humvee by capturing his 1st base war factory?

Basically I can survive until the propagancenter is buildable. I try hiding my battlemaster (only 3) behind the buildings and let their units walk pass my building minefield.
But after his F117 and MLRS activated, it is so hard for me, waving like hell.

How do you manage your eco and divert his GP and superweapon? I won't have enough moeny to build nuke storm if spamming the gattling with nuke cannon.

The small size ECM tank of china(tank, infantry, flame) can't disable building after upgrade.

I wish the next version:
Boss USA dozer can build SDI cannon.
Every Boss can build all super units of its faction.
More skirmish map like operation hot oasis(6 and 8 player map)

upload the gameplay or brief some walkthru of nuke hard versus boss USA.
And the most important point I want to ask, do you feel lag when the usa boss units attack?

I tried hard, but cybergenetic is really no fun at all for me cause i can't take his dozer or capture his buildings and robot units are no veterancy.
Starting you have to build a group of defenses (machinegun and 2 rocket with 2 spider nest just infront of their maximum attack range) 3 group top mid and bottom(bunker). then 3 supply center, you can get enough raven you want, nuke storm can be destroy by rank 3 soldiers ship and that flyable heroic hero unit so no worry on it. 3 minimum airfield needed. Raven is powerful if upgraded with anti missile and anti tank drones.

I tried the easy and i think minimum 4 airfield must be built. 3 group of ravens each group minimum 25 defend the top(hill radar) mid and bottom just before the defenses line where his artillery stopped to attack, move back behind defenses when the gattling came, kill the red arrow when you see them. And another group (minimum 40 raven) move to top and attack his base from top left corner to mid. At least 8 pegasus keep attack his right factory and reactor.

AI GP and superweapon always target the highest value area. I tried to build 2 under construction hadron collider 10k(to be cancelled when the artillery come) but his artillery not drawn to them (but the US superweapon general will target that location), so I have to build either 2 to 3 troop crawler or internet centers near propaganda center. But when you got helix, load your lotus and all hackers into it, 5 helix with full loaded valued 20k above will be the target of his superweapon and GP(just make sure any of your defense group do not more than this 20k otherwise your helix group gonna increase the value).

i get the hidden tunnel at start with infantry rank GP selected, my 2nd and 4th dozer stay at main base, my 1st and 3rd dozer move to right side build a barrack with 4ecm 4 tank hunter, get 8 and straight garrison into the building near the tunnel and 1st dozer ready to repair it, then the tunnel units will come out. ecm the toxin tractor and kill it once you see it, toxin will kill his infantry. After all units killed, 2 tank hunter destroy tunnel near my main base and 2 force attack the hidden tunnel at right hand side of oil derrick. 3rd dozer build the 2nd supply center asap after the tunnel units destroyed.

2 tank hunter from main base back to base secured behind CC minefield wait for his demolisher. Because of the initial attack on hidden tunnel, I build my war factory same line at my CC right hand side. 2 barrack at my main base and 1 at right hand oil derrick side(between the buildings).

I use at least 2 nuclear tank hunter and a gattling tank to defend main base. All position just behind the building with retaliation mode on. CC left side a group, between CC and war factory a group and at the right hand side of factory a group.

While for the Right hand side two buildings, garrisoned it with 3 nuclear tank hunter and 5 ecm. Evry wave of attack you need to save the game, make sure the ecm jammer the toxin tractor first.

I draw his artilley GP to my internet centers at bottom part of my CC, I got 3 to 4 with full hackers and a propaganda center at middle. 2Right 2Left and propaganda center at mid. The irritating tunnel driller attack can overcome with 6 normal tank hunter to kill it before pop out. The nuke cannon kill the driller. I wont let his GP attack my right hand side buildings, means I have to keep my main base the most expansive area to draw his GP. I don't care his superweapon cause it is not strong as long as you got enough radiation cleaner. If you feel it is distrubing and you rich enough, you can keep building speaker tower beside it(but the dozer ordered stop not move to build it) and let his superunits and artilley plattform attack it.

My perfect defense group is RHS buildings with one nuke cannon behind. My main base each group will get one more nuke cannon and overlord. Once the Lotus built, she will straight get to capture mid arms dealer and barracks. Get her back and get into the troop crawler(2 nuke hunter, 1 mines cleaner, 1 lotus) stay beside propaganda center.

Do not build nuke storm or nuke silo, then his superunits will not attack you. Only you get at least 20 white dragon then you can let his superunits out.

Outside the mainbase all barrack and arms dealer are non rebuild. The easier way for plane GP attack are mid and right bottom corner

hmm...some of them are shown in cinematic trailer in the start of the game. All 5, top left corner, right bottom corner, middle, and 2 at the right hand side of his main base entrance.
level 2 artillery twice to destroy including hole for china

you must at least destroy or capture 2 arms dealer outside his main base to survive the rush. I tried nuke hard, without destroy his extra arms dealer, his units will wave thru your base in the end (I have 16 hackers and a oil derrick but still very poor because of the rush)

ANYONE FELT LAG IN CHALLENGING USA BOSS? So far i tried nuke(no victory), demolition and stealth victory.
I tested and found that,
The wave of attack cause lag (maybe too much AI units is set to aim their non-building target), this is seriously lag for me no joke. I have to wait at least 5 seconds when i move the cursor to the location i want.
The only no lag version is using stealth, because of the GPS svrambler the AI units passed thru me as long as there is no drones. Once detected it starting lag but not long because the detected units easily destroyed.
So i tried to shut off his production line. AI is not able to build barrack, factory and airfield because i placed a under construction demo trap at its location.
Guess what it still lag but better a little bit when F-117 production stopped.
The only time the game run like normal without delay is when the boss 2 main CC destroyed (the game still lag if main CC disabled by microwave tank), the second and third base CC near my base are not destroyed yet at that time.

using 360, yes detected, just ignore as always since 009beta

Well I am just have to win it by not letting the helix die, that the only way to victory.

Actually i don't know that you noticed infantry helix can actually get the propaganda effect. I am not sure it is able in PVP or not. Get a group of helix and a propaganda crawler under them. Load in the crawler to center helix, then the group of helix will get propaganda effect as long as the loaded propaganda helix is not die.

i think you destroyed the helix in his base before he unleash horde. Once the helix destroyed, the map started to lag and cannot be saved.

YES!!! Finally the USA boss map became lag like hell ( I not sure what the cause but once the attack wave coming you can feel the map delaying 0.5 to 1s, slower than slow timing). And the lag is very not fun at all.
I am playing nuke challenge hard and medium level, unlike stealth, the enemy units can be destroyed faster by defenses and I won't feel much lag.

you will not win on Boss USA

I tried nuke, assault, stealth, superweapon VS infantry in challenge, once I destroyed the helix in his base, the game will jumped out with error or the game cannot be saved anymore.

Even the helix died at the same time with the last structure destroyed, the game cannot show the victory screen and jumped out with error. Fix this BUG~~~

When I am using stealth and demo general, I captured China Flame and Infantry dozer, after the Improved ECM weapon upgraded, The flame and infantry ECM tank cannot disable buildings. Is that a bug?
