Which Country Is the Best in Red Alert 2?
BEST METHODEach country in Red Alert 2 has a unique bonus unit or ability on top of the standard Allied/Soviet roster. In multiplayer, your country pick can give you a significant edge. This guide ranks every country and explains the multiplayer meta.
🔵 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.
