I'm sure some of you have already tried this, but if ya haven't, give it a shot. Use the APC to protect your sniper team. They shoot out the port holes. I lay mines around the APCs a couple clicks away for added protection. Just something you can do for fun play against the AI. The one map is getting old now, and we have to be inventive till the game comes out. :D

Ok..what do you guys do for fun stuff in the game?

I try to make a pretty base. Everything in formation, everything aligned properly...but then big, bad A.I. comes in and destroys everything...:(

Sounds like the GDI APC is really just the Allies IFV from RA2 in disguise, from what you just described...

I tend to make my Riflemen dig in alot and replace them with snipers.

Far more effective than the guard towers i think. Further radius and slaughters men quicker.
Two of those & 2 replaced with rocket troops protects tiberium spikes easy. Plus makes a simple mobile defense system anywhere on the map. :: Shrug::

I tend to put Zone Troopers near by too, For slaughtering those pesky tanks that come in the bundles.

I try to take on the AI with single mammoth tanks. I take his "unstoppable" saying a bit too far. Usually ends up with me replacing a mammoth every couple of minutes but eventually ill get one to elite and then it really will be unstoppable!

I just like to creat a massive airforce. This one game I had nothing but Firehawks, about 30 of them. Along with 20 Mammoths, and 15 Juggernauts. You really can't fight against that. Mammoths and Juggernauts from the left, Firehawks from the right.

I didn't know 20 Mammoths and 15 Juggernauts was considered "nothing".

You said that you built "nothing" but Firehawks, but Mammoths and Juggernauts hardly count as "nothing", so you actually built quite a lot other than Firehawks.

Actually what I meant was that I like having massive amounts of air units, but I will also have ground units also to support them though I didn't state that all that well. Anyways I'm a big air force guy, especially generals/zero hour.

yeah love airforce here to! :D ever since the days of red alert 1 but it was in tiberian sun and red alert 2 when airforce really mattered for other things that blowing up buildings and strafing infantery and single tanks a little bit.
I like the firehawks ability to choose weapons so i can throw in anti air f-hawks and anti ground f-hawks around my base. or just keep 'em in ctrl groups and scramble them whenever the enemy gets to close... :eek:

you can also pick up the apc with a air trasport so you have a mid air sniper that shoots the ants below. lol.

It doesn't work like that. Also, you can't shoot while in transit.
