🏦

🔵 Allied Countries

  • Korea ⭐ S-Tier — Black Eagle jets (stronger Harriers with more HP). Best Allied country for air rushes.
  • France A-Tier — Grand Cannon (massive defensive artillery). Best for turtle playstyles.
  • Germany A-Tier — Tank Destroyer (anti-vehicle specialist). Strong against Soviet tank rushes.
  • Great Britain B-Tier — Sniper (long-range anti-infantry). Situational but effective on infantry-heavy maps.
  • America B-Tier — Paratroopers (free paratrooper drops). Good for harassment but predictable.
💎

🔴 Soviet Countries

  • Iraq ⭐ S-Tier — Desolator (radiation trooper that poisons areas). Denies entire zones to enemy infantry and Harvesters.
  • Libya A-Tier — Demolition Truck (nuclear suicide vehicle). Combined with Iron Curtain = base-ending combo.
  • Russia A-Tier — Tesla Tank (mobile Tesla weapon). Strong burst damage.
  • Cuba B-Tier — Terrorist (suicide bomber infantry). Cheap but hard to use effectively.
