    Hey, listen... Just because Granger and Alexander don't use tanks, don't mean they can ignore their mechanized infantry...
    That's why Granger's default Reinforcement Pad vehicle is the Humvee... Don't understand why Alexander's Marines don't use tanks though, besides maintaining her flawless logistics...

    Granger can literally command the us navy to send into his battlefield some raptors from the USS Olympia. I bet he's a unified combatant commander, and that's a big deal since it means you can command units from Army, Air force, or Navy, or whatever (so long as more than 1 service branch), usually for missions within your area of responsibility. This means Granger not only has more responsibility but also more influence in the US military than Townes or Alexander.
    Also, if ever you say "it sucks because the generals do not represent the triad of Army, Air Force and Navy", well, the Marines are actually under the supervision of the Department of the Navy. Alexander technically is from the Navy.

    It's weird how we see no Infantry variations between any of the US generals. You'd think Alexander being a Marine general would have resulted in her soldiers being replaced with Marines? Or perhaps Townes replacing his missile infantry with a hand held laser cannon (like the Spartan laser from Halo).
    In addition, I know Alexander is the Superweapon general but feels like the particle cannon could easily work with Townes with his laser focus stuff.
    Overall it feels like the devs were struggling to think of variations for the US factions compared to the GLA and China factions. Hell China seemed to get the best deal with an Infantry and Tank focus generals while GLA has the most uniqueness due to being unorthodox.

    3:52 This was exactly what the Comanche would've been, a stealth gunship replacement for the Apache... Unfortunately, as I've mentioned in the US overview, the Comanche project was scrapped and the Apache is still reliable even without stealth so oh well, pipe dream... As least the game acknowledges its existence...
    11:32 So basically it fires a volley of 4 MIM-104 "Patriot" Missiles modified with EMP warheads...
    12:02 That and her logistics is just that flawless... Don't make sense for the whole increase in vehicle production costs though... Seriously, $850 for a Humvee?... 🤨
    13:07 Actually, the Aurora Alpha can maintain supersonic speed during the return flight, only slowing down to make turns aka after dropping its payload and during landing...
    14:06 Again owing to her flawless logistics, requesting the aid of Special Forces(such as a commando like Burton) is that easy...
    14:30 Wait, I thought her home front base of operations is in Camp Franklin?...
    17:30 Thanks to the map layout, in order to directly assault the base's outer perimeter, you'll need transports... Chinooks for Townes or Granger, Helixes for the Chinese Generals, and for the GLA Generals, they start with the Sneak Attack already available like in "On the Waterfront"... But considering the whole outer perimeter is littered with EMP Patriot Launchers, unless you're Granger, God help you.
    18:42 "US Army War College"... Wouldn't it be easy to just say West Point, EA?... 😑
    20:13 Think of it as the Generals version of the Allies' Prism Tank, without the laser refracting to other targets... There's a reason Townes don't use Tomahawk Launchers, *THEY'RE* the siege units...
    21:26 According to supplemental unofficial sources, there's a reason for all that(and the reason why you're briefed about the defenses)...
    Townes got so fed up of all the shortcomings after the total US pullout in Europe that he decided to just shut himself off inside Fort Union and turned its entire laser defense system against *ANYTHING* military related, effectively going rogue...

    If only this game was available on steam, that would be so great for those not wanting to buy the whole collection just for one game.
    But either way these videos help shine light how ridiculous all of the factions are, from China's Dragon Tanks and Nuke Cannons to GLA Bomb Trucks and Terrorists and of course the USA Partical Cannon and Tomahawk Missile launcher, this was probably Command and Conquer at it's best it's so hilariously cheesy and so freaking awesome!
    And these videos are amazing too, you help keep the small(relatively compared to the other two series) fanbase alive. You really did amazing jobs on all the videos, they're very entertaining and informative. You've done a great job on showing us the Command and Conquer universe for those who can't play the games, and even to those that can but would like to see more and everything they do know explain in greater detail. Keep up the great work, we all appreciate you and your effort on making these videos.

    General Townes has predator drones under the ramps of his base. They cannot be targeted. So he is very good at detecting stealth units that are attacking. Also, you can hear his voice when the tomahawk strike occurs in the USA campaign against Dr. Thrax.

      Initially the Air Force General was my favorite USA faction. King Raptors and stealth Comanches were super useful and the General superpower abilities made it easy to overwhelm opponents. However, lately in recent play throughs I’ve been favoring the Laser General . His defenses are borderline OP with enough turrets combined and the laser tanks really pack a punch as long as you have a few snipers to pick off infantry. Just make sure power is always taken care of and you’re golden.

    I'm so glad the shockwave mod fix all this issues and make every general is very identified different from any Power, Unit Arsenal and Strategic Plan's. Including makes General Leang and Deathstrike playable with also different strategies and plans.

    General Towns is the Best of the Best Anti-Defense and Ground defense are super strong against Scud launchers and Aircrafts when used correctly but quite weak when unable to destroy China's Nuke cannon/Inferno Cannon in long range since they are stationary defense type. and overall General Towns is my Far Favorite USA general due to his unique weapon type.

    I played the challenge too many times and exploited their weakness.
    The easiest one is Townes! Surprised? Yes he's the easiest. Why?
    He's just sending cheap units and nothing too serious. Only 2 Comanches and couple of tanks and infantries. Garrison the warehouse building with "Rocket Troops" right above the oil derrick next to your base and destroy the building next to it. All the attacking forces will keep coming at them. Build 1 or 2 AA turret. (Gatling/Patriot/Stinger) close to your supply dock for sneak Comanche attacks. After that, just build up and make your Supply Drop Zone/Hackers/B. Market and build your own superweapon.
    His particle cannons can be easily baited. His first cannon will fire on your most outward defense turret. Build one but don't complete it. Once he fired it, demolish that structure and rebuild it later. The next one will fire on you Command Center. The last one will fire on the next outward defense turret unless you rebuilt it again. So, dont finish it, demolish and rebuild. Rinse and repeat until you're strong enough to fight him. Once you built your superweapon, all his particle cannons will fire at them. I suggest you time your construction well with its timer. Preferably once the second and third cannon will be ready to fire because you will have enough time to repair it because they have at least 30 seconds timer intervals each fire.
    Granger is a no brainer enemy. But do be careful not to build too much AA tower early on. His Stealth fighters and Auroras can knock them down quick leaving you no units to defend. He can destroy you early on if you're not careful. My advice is build more AA units rather than AA towers and he's toast. Build up your economy and knock him dead.
    Alexender is the hardest ever! You need to strategically place your key building away from each other all the time. You'll end up loading up all your games mostly because her strikes is unpredictable. She's good also at sending a small attack party on a single chinook without you noticing so keep an eye on that. But at least, her particle cannon can be baited like Townes.
    Her 1st particle cannon will always strike your supply center followed by an A10 Thunderbolt on any of your key buildings (mostly Strategy Center or supply zones/B. Market/ Internet Center). Then she'll strike either barracks or War Factory with the 2nd Particle cannon. But this time she's using two so perhaps your supply center could be safe, then another A10 can knock it down. Then the 3rd will do the same like the second.
    Just keep your money making buildings safe and intact and you can fight her fire with fire. It will take you time but it's totally doable.
