Are GLA overpowered?
GLA seem to have better defences than ECA with there super strong Stinger sites etc, better Artillery and AA defences than Russia with the BM21 Grad and Ural etc, and better or an equal Airforce to the USA and China with the Hooks, Planes and Kamikazee etc!

I thought GLA were supposed to be a sbeaky "Guerilla warfare" faction..!?

I know some of you people here favour the GLA and want them to have the best of everything but this is ridiculous! They should remain a Guerrilla faction.

All said keep up the good work.

Not all, it's one of their THREE themes but that doesn't mean they should be COMPLETELY guerrilla. GLA's real gameplay theme is one simple word, Pressure!. That can be applied via mindfuckery, sneaky tacticss, or brutal In-Your-Face Pressure.

Also their defenses aren't better than ECA in terms of cost-efficiency to power.

GLA defenses seems too good just because they don't need power, so you can SPAM them without needing to worry about power usage. The "upgrades" whopping cost was a good nerf, but still other factions with the exception of ECA needs to pay a lot of money in the form of power plants, in Russia case this is intended, they defenses are really strong on the other hand the faction is supposed to be "assault oriented". Also Chinese bunkers can still provide fire support without power, but USA is the one that suffer the most with the remove of Firebases (their only defense that could retaliate without power) and the lack of early avenger PDL.

Considering how famous the military history of the American artillery is, I think it is a pity that it has lost the structure that was the symbol of that motto. The drones and the air units are good, but some options seem to be "more of the same" maybe that happened due to the fact that these units will then be distributed in version 2.0 to their respective generals. This is exactly what happens with the Grads, but in the case of a game of GLA vs. ECA I think it is the only unit that gives an opportunity against an experienced ECA player who knows how to protect himself from the bomb trucks.

Yes, but the whole point of GLA is to be unconventional. But it has a strong Air force, Artillery, defences, and tank and tech support. Its a contradiction in my eyes.
Famous American history of Artillery?!
Yes agreed, something needs to be done about the spamming of an infinite amount of Stinger sites which dont rely on power plants.

Uniqueness is Overrated



I'm getting a strong feeling of dejavu.

Almost like this topic has been brought up several times before, and has been shot down every time.

Or maybe it's just me.

No no no, don't get me wrong Zeke, I'm not talking about realistic, but the iconic features every army has from their nationality I mean. USA has the best air force, they use top quality technology and precision strikes. That's accurate, ECA has their somewhat "fictional" GUND-- I mean, VENOM suits... but everyone knows that exosuits and even jetpacks, ralguns, etc are a thing in the real world, even if their military application is just experimental. Damn, I would surely love to see something like a MLRS unit (Steel rain baby) for the USA. Specially because they seriously need a blob killer unit. For GLA I would love to see the Scud comeback in the for of a imprecise/long range artllery, that would make sense with their "guerilla" nature launching missiles from afar and switching position fast with the help of their tunnels network.

While I have no real problem with the GLA being that way, would it be possible to make the GLA defense emplacements have gunners which permanently die? Essentially making them garrisonable to function- like you'd need to garrison Workers in the Dushka Nests and Stinger Soldiers in the Stinger Sites after gunners are sniped / killed / whatever you want to call it.

Just thinking on a theoretical note. I find it an interesting idea. Might be nigh impossible or extremely hard to do with the SAGE engine. I have no idea, I'm no modder.

Also, doing so might underpower the GLA as a result, if the idea were even possible.

While GLA defences are strong and easy to spam, occupants can be easily killed, they are also quite expensive. GLA airforce... Thing i am still conflicted about is not game breaking... Yes you can take out key targets in suicide attack using all six fitters, yes, Hook can devastate unprotected units... But their airforce is pretty fragile, expensive, it has slow building time, it requires three GPS to be able to build six fixed wing aircraft, maneuverability of most of their aircraft is terrible too. As for artillery, I personally think they as a faction should have good artillery, isn't being annoying part of their theme?/

Dont count this as an actual post as Im not sure where to weigh myself on this debate yet but,

Dushkas and Stingers are both automated defenses that do not need anything extra to function or to reach its peak like firebases/Bunkers/Fortifications
I'm aware Russia is not the defense theme'ed faction but each one of their defenses is more expensive then the GLA ones.Before you tell me that the gunners can be sniped/disabled.A single Avenger with the PDL upgrade makes an RPG tower useless, same cant be said for the stinger site.
Gla defences are NOT expensive and if you add the builders price/the amount of money you can risk to possibly lose to say a fast unit like a TOWve/Humvee makes it even cheaper to do so.
Not to mention the current meta on public is still GLA Stinger pushing/spam

What I meant by expensive is fully upgrading them.
