Titanium Armor: Increase Armor for the AH-64 Apache.
Longbow. Increase the missile capacity of the Apache, or increase reload rate.
Heavy Hummer. Instead of Overhaul, have the ability to choose per Hummer
Instead of having a dedicated Anti-Air defense fighter, how about this...use a converted F-22, upgraded similar to how the JDAM upgrade works. Equipped with a plasma screen that fools missiles and radars tracking the plane, the plasma shielding gives the pilot a few more crucial seconds to release its warload of HARM missiles. (Haven't the Russians been experimenting with something similar to this?)
Phased Array Radar System. For use on either the Air-Defense cruiser, or as a building, this would increase substantially the range of Patriots for Air-Defense and the cruiser. Or, this can be used to let the cruisers attack Scud or Nuclear Missiles, giving them a slight chance at an intercept.
The Marine. So far, you have the Ranger, the Marine and a Special Operations solder. Perhaps the infantry of the Americans should be streamlined? Seems to me they are ALL elite. Here's how I see it: the Marine is an expensive version of the Spec Ops with no additional abilities...perhaps return its detonator and C4, and rename it Green Beret? Would make sense...expensive as hell for infantry and can blow up anything he sees. The basic infantryman....Ranger or Marine? The Ranger would make more sense (no offense to any Marines out there), because the conflict seems to be an Army/Air force thing. As for the Spec Operations guy, perhaps rename him Marine?
Still looking for a good Close Air Support plane...that damn F-23 is great if it would not orbit. Perhaps add the ability to use a down-graded version of the AC-130 gunship?
Hedgehogs.
Remove the Firebase from the Americans entirely, and add a bunker similar to the Chinese.
