4 of them can destroy your command center, that is the issue with them
late game economy becomes a joke, especially for the US so you end up spamming them on repeat from one airfield
The AI has infinite money on higher difficulties? Lame. I never noticed.
I did notice that on Normal they would eventually run out of money and stop completely on Skirmish maps. On Easy they'd build 1 Black market or Supply Drop. But on anything higher I'm not going to let the AI sit there long enough to find out.
yes, the issue is losing your command center and last bulldozer loses you the game in most cases (except for GLA)
most people only need to build one, you also lose your rader if you are not GLA
So scout/scan their airbase. See Auroras? Build another CC.
Like, yeah, I get that being shut down is bad and all that but it's a high investment strategy that gets beaten by 1/5th the cost in preparation. Plus the whole thing about how 2 Auroras cost as much as a super weapon.
But sure, I'd rather be overwhelmed by minigun infantry or some such than have my CC popped when I wasn't prepared.
im not OP, im just explaining why they are so hated
i personally dont care, a lot of stuff in generals is very OP but its fun

i never really liked buggies. they feel too weak against buildings, their speed stops being an advantage when paired with quads, and they're very fragile.

scud storm is already the strongest superweapon in game because it hits multiple times, has a decent recharge timer, and the gla player can get free money when it hits things because of the cash bounty. definition of imbalance.

and doesn't cost electricity so it can be spammed endlessly along with markets
The rebel spawning power is pretty broken, especially when you have building capture researched. Demolition general even gets to do damage when they die.
if a usa player has a bunch of humvees together all a demo player has to do is use rebel ambush and immediately hit the i key

>immune to all damage
Wiki says this too but I swear playing this a decade ago I only got frustrated because they fall down easily and hardly destroy anything.
You can destroy an aurora with an AoE weapons, is kinda hard but possible, it's still bullshit particularly with the Aurora Alpha from the Super Weapon general, she can one-shot any air unit and provided you got decent micro EMP 3 or more tanks with a single patriot turret.
Never got the hate, they are so expensive fall down quick to AA, you can dropa bomb but it won't last the rerurn trip.
I'd rather stealth jets.

hit the airfield with a bomb truck
if you can reach the airfield with a bomb truck you have already won
sounds to me like they're solving tedious stalemates just as they should
for the price of 4 auroras you can build two superweapons
>Command Center: $2000
>Aurora x1: $2500
Is this a problem?
when the ai has infinite money yes

if you're playing as china and use cash hack to steal all the money the ai has they're still able to build units. it's fricking cheap.
Everyone has infinite money in this game if you build the appropriate unit/structure.

so true frick flying units
king raptors are worse. helicopters are generally better than jets anyway since they can rearm in the air
Don't they get massacred by quads?
they are immune to all damage till they drop their payload
im sad that the suicide aircraft bombers are only available to the US and not GLA
gla shouldn't have an air force. they're annoying to fight already
*kills you in angry mob spam and rocket buggy spam*

by the time you give your opponent time to get auroras they're already too big to fail, unless those are alpha auroras which are more viable
nobody here has an idea about competitive, let alone the op pic is from Twilight Flame
