This isn't going to be a balance whine thread. I barely find time to play this great mod (anyone actually remember me?) due to irl issues (university!) and my unfortunate location (NA. Why are you all european/asian?! can someone hook me up with some NA guys?), and even then I mostly play vs AI b/c all the games in multiplayer are wither locked, or player vs AI (which turn into a boring, despicable lag fest), so me doing a balance whine would be stupid to say the least. That. Being. Said.
When I do find time to play with my friends here at uni, they figured out really fast what I can't kill. That is the wings of coronia. So here I am asking for help.
Here is what I do:
open scout, build barracks, ref. power, war fact. sometimes power for base crawl, ref... rest of tech (in that order).
spam some basic infantry to defend early (sov infantry always in bunker ofc.) (and usually a base defence, like a pill, but i don't place it down until attacked)
build 2 tanks and 4-5 harvs
play an ok mid game (no issues here, i can harass decently and have even gotten off a few seal drops/ivan flanks)
get to late game tech (battle lab/pandora hub, etc.)
then i have trouble: yes, i shield my base with chimera cores, and gap generators, so on. I know its coronia by now, so here is what i do:
allies: gap generator my whole base, spam tier 3 AA, try to build AA base defense, use rocketiers+ GGI's
sovs: skip indust. plant, get iron curtain for the iron guard and put my AA in there+ flaks
eps: chimera core areas of base, put AA in there + archers
All the while trying to move out of my base with a decent army, but i keep running into the following scenarios:
a.) opponent uses pteranadon + buzzard + quetzal and forces me to move out of my base and just murders my army as soon as it moves out.
b.) If I build compact to cover base with AA better, opponent just uses harbinger, then A-moves in.
c.) kills my AA vehicles before they kill pteranadon.
So what am I doing right/wrong. (especially as US, PF, LC, CHN, PC, SC). Sorry, I know its a lot, but I'm, having difficulty. And so are my mates. (that's why so many factions)
TL;DR, how do you survive quetzal + pteranadon, and harbinger as US, PF, LC, China, PC, SC
If you need to ask questions to give a better response, ill happily answer them for you ASAP. Please and thank you.
