• 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.

• 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.
