Is there any way for Allied players to combat Tesla spam?

[Sloshgun]

Hi,

 

it looks like the single most used tactic to win is for Soviet players to just build into the enemy base with Tesla coils and I haven't found a way to really counter that as an Allies player. Gun turrets got less range and destructive power than Tesla coils. Artillery got not enough reach either. Helicopters or MiGs can take out single Tesla towers but not stop a Tesla spam.  Cruiser ships may work but only if you pay attention all the time and the map geography has to be favorable for you - like lake near your base and lfew small access paths to your base. I think the game is now seriously imbalanced in favor of the Soviets, and most people play Soviets all the time therefore. This could be changed by giving artillery turrets  or mobile artillery more reach, maybe.

with allies you need to use hotkeys, otherwise they're not that good.

Don't play money maps then.

One balance factor is the amount of money gained and spend. And it most often favours the stronger units/structures.

Where can I find a list of the hotkeys?

If you push "settings" in CnCNet lobby, you can find all the RA1 hotkeys and edit them to how you like.

Allies have superior tanking capabilities. If both are able to make tanks for 1 minute straight, the Medium Tank army will win. With the Q-move technique, medium tanks can move and shoot at the same time, and since medium tanks move faster than heavy tanks, they benefit more from this.

Allies are also good in short games, but are weaker long game (unless there is water).

as allies u have to use: +helis +chrono and of course tanks to counter teslaspam. but to do it all same time, u need "interesting and inter building" (see same homepage, article same title)

Good question 

 

it takes a good of skill soviet Tesla walkers are hard too beat as allies 

however tesla are good for attack but tesla are weak and not good for defense and on top use a lot of power 

2 tanks with q are as strong as 1 tesla 

 

Things you can do vs Soviet a base builder

allies are better in tanking so u want too tank You need good scouting too 

a good infinity attack can be u can try use it in combo with tanks just about come after 

tank rush a base builder one quick knock out attack if attack with 5 light tanks one way 

another is make mid tanks send waves of attacks have too do more damage then they can repair 

using a apc might work one time  or so 

keeping heavy pressure attacking with tanks is needed 

 

if this all falls then game lasts longer 

later in game its gets a lot harder u are too late unless the map has sea then just build ships level there base 

it be very hard too win now well lets not give up

 

you can still try using tanks

or artillery you need time your attacks right kill as many v2 as u can then rush in with turret and pillbox building 

you need too attack weak spots of base

also use chrono too get behind there base then attack 

 

the longer the game gos on the harder it is too win
