Lad's don't you think that GLA needs to be a little stronger

Lad's don't you think that GLA needs to be a little stronger in Pro:Gen than it's in generals?

The gros of the GLA units is far too weak, but the Angry Mob, Jarmen Kell and the Scorpion make up for that.

no if you know how to use Gla guys right, they can be very very powerful...

ComradeJ · 12-06-2003, 04:46 PM

Scorpions are actually unfairly strong when upgraded. They're about equal to Battlemasters, but $200 cheaper and faster.

you can crush them easily with Paladins, overlords, laser tanks, atllitery units

haha, even attack outposts

I think the only thing GLA needs is a little better balance against the US. JK should be able to "see" stealthed units, just like Burton, so as to make it a fair fight. As it is now, it is much too easy to kill JK with Burton and a pathfinder. All it takes is for Burton to spot and then have a humvee with pathfinder to snap JK from a distance... much too easy. (especially with US Special Forces since you get pathfinders from the start)

The other imbalance I see is that infantry should be able to fire from within the technical, just like a humvee. I've always not understood why guys in the back of a pick-up can't shoot their guns... if anything, this would seem more realistic than guys trying to shoot their rocket launchers out of a car window. :tard: I understand that this limitation was used to offset a technical's low cost, but couldn't they at least let like 2 guys shoot? As it is now, a technical is almost defenseless against a humvee in the early game. A humvee with 2 rocket guys can usually destroy a technical even before you are able to unload a single person. This severly limits early game rush tactics against the US as you can't really just send technicals... they at least have to be backed up by RPG on foot. (meaning your technical would have had to make two trips.)

Good Points guys! And one more thing, THE STINGER SITES!!! :dead: They are very weak against tanks, and now the airforce general can fly in and kill a base in 5 seconds with the laser defense system!!! The stingers are about 40% as strong as RPG's or missile launchers! It is VERY ANNOYING when u have to build tons, and tons of them, just to shoot down a B3 from the airforce general!

And even more to kill an emperor or overlord! Well anyway i think u guys get the point.

However, there is still 1 very good thing about gla...no power.

If that is ever changed, with things like windmills, then i will never be gla again. :sleep: It's not that i care much if it's in Pro:gen(cuz ill still get it), but its just a terrible idea because then gla will have hardly any strength at all which is TOO REALISTIC, like Iraq.

Anyway, my point is that sitnger sites have gone from bad to worse from generals to Zero Hour. A good thing if ure against one, but bad if your with one. Which is why i'm telling Deezire about this, to help with Pro:Gen, (which is the point of this whole post.

)

PS. Other than that, GLA is fine!

The good thing will be if Angry mobs can enter civilian building's and fire from it like all other infantry but - one mob in one building. Also why can't they enter Tunnel Network?

ComradeJ · 12-07-2003, 06:24 AM

The Mob's only weakness is it's low armor. If they can enter civvie buildings, they're unstoppable!

SCUD · 12-07-2003, 06:37 AM

The GLA need an unstoppable unit. If not Mob's then something else... (China & USA have more than one: Aurora, Overlord)
