Therefore there is no use for anti-infantry > which is vulnerable to tanks (e.g. ranger), and infantry is ineffective > (except sometimes bazookas.) yeah i agree. C&C had a good balance between GDI and NOD and the units separatly, RA doesn't. Infantry is nothing in RA ( only maybe in beginning but it is rare that a player wins by sending a good infantry attack to the ennemy --> beginning with 0 units. ) The tanks are just too powerfull in RA, the only winning unit in RA is the tank. If u dont build tanks and the other does, u lose. With C&C the tactics were different. Ok u had the bike humvees/buggy atacks but u could also build a chopper in the beginning and immediately a transport with an engineer. Or send infantry with ur troops too ( flamers or grendaiers agaisnt bikes ) or build a apc with a engineer. If u build an apc and 5 engineers in RA and the other only tanks the other will win even if he has only got 3 tanks more than u . Gizmo Gizmo
