What would you consider the worst unit to be encountered as a human controlled enemy in contra?
I consider it to be the nucreal bomb truck for it's so damn hard to be taken out in time and you most oftenly lose all of your units that you sent to destroy it. It's not that bad when playing as nuke or infantry, but otherwise it's the worst unit to be encountered in my opinion.

A well-defended Bertha! Also undefended, but especially defended.

I love/hate when i see a nuke truck. It's like "nooooooooo" and i laugh a lot. 
, because i know the mtf will kill all unit i send to attack him, and if i don't send anything, well.... it's the end.
I say this because i play mostly as GLA, so no neutron for me. Hmmm hijackers...

Take out the Nuke truck ! It takes one to destroy you'r defence and another one to destroy you! Or make it less powerfull! Half size?

Whell I'm sorry! But as I remember it costs less then 5000$!( I think) + It's invizibil! you can make how many units you want jost for the fun to see them go boom! And then what? How are you gonna stop the other one? Or the next! It ain't like there will be only one! By the time you realise It' about to blow! and you go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Kaboom!

cmon, 1 stealth detector (radar van, drone, etc) and a couple light AT units... too easy. They cost almost nothing and can easily stop the truck.
Its stealthed, but thats no excuse to say it can't be stopped.

Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

its quite funny, fill up a tunnel full of nuke trucks and use sneak attack, if they get out, you loose.
but don't remove them, they are what makes demo general fun

Such trick will cost about $50 000 for you. Enemy will build 2nd and 3rd base for such money. Bomb trucks can destroy one base, but not all 3 at once.its quite funny, fill up a tunnel full of nuke trucks and use sneak attack, if they get out, you loose.

Nuke trucks are OP! used with skill and it's bye bye! It's to much! But then again it is all that demo has! I meen the only unit that is not usualy for kamikazee is Luna! Everything you send has one way tichet! And personaly that sucks! Do not take out the bomb truck but make it less powerfull! maybe twice the damage of a DEMO bomb truck!

Agreed. In fact, i think demo general must keep the nuke truck AND get another super unit. A durable one, without suicides!
