You should try that engineer tactic again:
just make sure the chopper is on the pad when he takes over.

You get the ORCA, if you send your engineer, while the ORCA sits down
on the Heliport... so wait, until he is landed...

I haven't played this mission, but I have some tips here for it... 
First, using loss-leader tactics (meaning, use a decoy to lure the 
bullets while the rest of your army attacks that unit), take out the two 
GDI towers. Do this by sending a light tank in the way of the guard 
towers, then send in the rest of your army.  Focus fire on one at a 
time.  Use your flame throwers to take out any annoying infantry.  Then, 
instead of going for the helipad right away, capture the barracks.  
Again, if there are bunches of infantry hanging around the barracks (as 
there usually are) you'll have to lure them into your flamethrowers' 
path.  Station your flamethrowers on either side of the "lure" path.  
Then send a vehicle to try to pull some infantry away.  This may take a 
few tries, but you should eventually take them all out. 

After the barracks is captured, capture the power plant.  (I don't know 
if you'll have to make another engineer or if you start with more than 
one.) Now you can start building more units to protect yourself.  Then, 
making sure the orca is on the helipad, capture the helipad.  

There remains one more objective: take out the village.  You will have 
to use the orca to do this, since it is located directly north of the 
base, across the river.

P.S. this will probably be more difficult than I explained, but like i 
said, I haven't played this one. I hope these tips help.

Use your equipment to cause a diversion; by luring the defense away
from the gate near the ORCA you can defeat the guard tower and use
your engineers to steal it.  The best way to cause the computer to go
nuts is to attack its harvester.
