Kodiak becomes redundant in mid-late game Options

[Kazan]

Since Golem is almost twice as powerful as Kodiak so Kodiak becomes somewhat redundant in the mid-late game. So as to keep the Kodiak still viable in later part of the game, wouldn't it be pertinent to confer it with missiles that could be launched from the main gun after an upgrade, just like the T-64?

Now USA does have too many advantages on the ground for a high-tech airforce faction.
I also think that the main problem with curren Kodiak is the price.

USA is supposed to be the decent at everything faction.

USA is supposed to be the decent at everything faction.

Now that's kinda unfair, don't you think?


Here's my list starting from the faction with biggest advantage to the faction with the less advantage:

USA is a high-teck faction with the most advanced air force and decent at everything.
ECA is a turtle faction with the best defense, but expensive units.
China is a mass production faction, not realy best at anything but with the strenght in numbers.
Russia is a steamroller, but with expensive units that are good only in big numbers.
GLA is a guerrilla faction, not realy best at anything.

No. A Jack of all Trades is a master of none.

USA needs a LOT of micromanagement to be a master balanced faction, which balances them immensely. China doesn't need any Micromanagement at all really unless you want to be sneaky. GLA needs some micromanagement, but not as much as USA. Russia doesn't need micromanagement, but needs a good macromanagement. And the ECA just needs macromanagement with some micromanagement.

There are severe problems with this list.

USA is decent at everything, yes. See above for why this is balanced.
ECA, pretty much right. But Defences can't be moved easily.
China, strength in numbers, AND special weapons, AND a good economy. That is pretty powerful.
Russia, Late game. Once late game is reached, they become excellent. They really do not need Micromanagement either.
GLA, is best in sneaky tactics. In one moment, nothing is going on. However, the next thing, you see entire cloaked armies sneaking past defences, Mob and Rebel ambushes destroying power plants, and a sneak attack sending an entire force behind the base. That is a huge advantage if you ask me.

I dissagree, but let's not shift the topic.
