If I'm the U.S. what can I use to kill off those massive overlords?  My
tanks are so small.
P.S. I'm a semi-noob

Helicopters work well if not too many of the overlords have chainguns or
bunkers with rocket guys in them. But better still are tomahawk missile
launchers which outrange the overlords and never miss. USA has the best
scouting, in the form of spy drones and intel scans and satellite sweeps, so
you should always be able to see the overlords coming long before they get
to your base. And be sure to back all that up with tanks. Your tanks may be
so small, but they're not puny. With the armour upgrade from the strategy
centre, and the "hold the line" strategy, they can take quite a punishment.

Lots of Rocket Infantry with laser lock.
I've killed two overload tanks with ONE rocket Infantry guy.
Nock off the Overlords that have Gat. guns first.
Use HumVs to position the Infantry.
