Appeal to The_Hunter for an unban and wait for a while.

So setting the starting credits at 50K is completely justified?

No, It still requires Generals to play.

However you can have Shockwave, RotR and CWC in the same computer since they each have seperate installers.

Do you guys have any plans on remodeling US structures?

1)Good you're not supposed to do that.
2)The Sokol might have been detected by mobile sensors or the radar helicopter, and thus more easily shot down.
3)Can't say I do, I barely used it.
4)Then don't rely solely on the planes, use Sokols in places where vehicles often show up to soften them before reaching your main defenses.
5)...
Thank you Captain Obvious.

The Russian airforce is just for support, use Hinds and Hellions for attacks instead.

Sulaymaan has a mind of Salvage... and Anthrax....

Reign of Steel apparently

The new faction looks like it came out of a time machine, or space.

Does it replace the Scrambler van? Also is the Jamming pulse an AOE type ability or does it work like an US Microwave tank?

Jonesy is right, start playing on easily defendable maps like Supply lines, Face Off or Mountain Guns. Either use gunships, your own artillery or light vehicles to destroy enemy artillery (though only the Hard and Brutal AI uses long range artillery). Don't let them capture any Reinforcement Pads or they'll flood you with tanks (again only in Hard and Brutal AI). If your having trouble with the Medium AI just barricade yourself inside your base and just blow up the enemy using superweapons or General Powers.

Yeah most of its replies are utterly puntastic.

T1 Russian Recycler: "I HAVE THE POWER!"

The USA is my favorite faction, they have the fastest MBT in the game (Hover Crusaders) the best airforce, laser tech that makes the GLA Macross Missile Massacres ineffective and various amounts of support units like Javelins, Mules, HK drones and Commanches. GLA comes a close second with their salvage tech, cash bounties and fast units. Russia for superior firepower, China for superior numbers and nukes and ECA for excellent defenses (the units are slow, hard to produce and require a certain amount of micro though).

If the AI is burying you with tanks and infantry then it's doing a mighty fine job of playing China.

Also population caps? seriously?

How do you guys use Acolyte tanks? I mean I could get a heck of a lot more fire power from a T1 SF Paradrop.

Doesn't it say somewhere that most of Russia's vehicles are refurbished Cold War era equipment? you might be getting the 80's USSR feel from that.

Lore and gameplay wise the GLA is a hit and run faction, the tunnels provide a quick escape for them.

uhhh, no I never said that, I just meant if he wants to side-grade the Recycler he'll get a mini Tremor.

No I mean my vanguard:

van·guard
ˈvanˌɡärd/
the foremost part of an advancing army or naval force.

No, the Recycler picks up the salvage (in your case the Russian tier 2 salvage which is the one marked with the ROTR symbol) and you select the "Upgrade with SA3 Missiles" (paraphrasing) in your Ural Truck. However if you want a crude Tremor AGAS system to replace your Recycler then yes you should upgrade the Recycler instead.

Oh don't get me wrong the new salvage mechanic is pretty awesome, it's just that sometimes the crates either vanish before the Recycler picks it up or they accidentally get picked up by my vanguard.

Speaking of salvage crates, is it really supposed to take a few tries before you'll be able to pick it up?

I don't see what's special about it, why do you think it should be added? I mean there's nothing currently wrong with the Russian Kodiak.

The US already has the Cyclops Tactical Laser as T2 AA, the Chaparral is just a bonus that comes with Armoured Battalion.

The SEALs demo charges completely destroys Oil Derricks making it irreparable, is this a bug?

Run the infantry over with Humvees or use Blackhawks and Vipers. Also use a kiting strategy (as Crimson said), hit the vehicles with TOW's return to base a bit to repair whatever damage the vees receive, hit them again then rinse and repeat. It would also help to put your defensive units on a hotkey. Also if the supply dock is not being passed by the enemy en route to your base, just train some extra Ospreys and send them to the secondary dock.

Then don't rely solely on Fire Bases (and other static defenses) and use units to deal with them effectively (Like TOW Humvees and AT drones).

Do Russian Blackout nodes work against AI General Powers?

Vanguards are super powerful though, concentrated fire coming from a large group of them can rip light vehicles to shreds. Not to mention they can clear garrisons and do a bunch of support stuff with their drones.

The updates are pretty crunchy lately, how about some fluff to make it go down easier?

Nikolai Suvorov also hates the fact that he put Aleksandr into power.

Poor Nikolai, he blames himself to the things Aleksandr has done.
