Which general is the strongest and best in General Command and Conquer Game?

General Command and Conquer Game is one of the games I like best. This game is RTS (Real Time Strategy) game. This game needs a lot of strategy ideas to play. The game is very dynamic, so players have to consciously control and develop their generals and have to update what opponents are trying to do every single minute. Players have to check their supplies and military strength constantly. This game is based on battles between China, America and GLA (Global Liberation Army). I like this game because the graphics are very good and realistic and it can draw players’ attention and make them feel that they are in real battles. Since it is a General Game, there are a lot of general players can use. Among these generals, famous generals are USA Rogue General, USA Helicopter, China Rogue General, China Artillery General, GLA Rogue General and GLA Hijack General. Each general has their weakness and strength that others cannot have. They are made in this way by the programmers to be fair.
My favorite general is USA Helicopter General, and I believe he is the strongest of all generals. Though I said every general has their own strength and is made fair, I think the programmer gives Helicopter General more strength than others. If the player uses him wisely, his army can defeat any other army easily. Usually the players who use other generals have to think hastily how to defend his massive attack. He is powerful all the time while other generals’ effectiveness varies. For example, most GLA generals are very effective to launch fast attacks because their armies are light and mostly designed for first fast attack while China has to take a little bit longer than others to build an impenetrable defense and a heavy magnificent army. But Helicopter General can be used either for fast attack or for building a strong army.
The strengths that make Helicopter General stronger than others are mobility, supply taking power, General promotion, Camouflage Sniper and Commandos, Invisible apache and Fighter apache. These are the things that can turn up other armies into ground. Firstly, as an army, mobility is the most significant power both outside and in the game. It is very important for an army to move from one place to another quickly to reinforce and supply other squads or defense the base or terminate enemy forces. Helicopter General has the fastest mobility in the game. His helicopter army can be used in one unit both for defense and attack. Though some other generals have helicopters, they are not as strong as Helicopter General’s helicopters and cannot be used to defend and attack. So others generals have to use their land units to attack and defense. They also have to divide their forces into two units: attacking and defending units because land units such as tanks and vehicles take a lot of time to march to attack and withdraw back to defend. That’s why they have to divide into two units, but that dividing also lessens effectiveness in both attacking and defending sides. That is the one point Helicopter General can take advantages over other generals.
Secondly, his supply taking power is very effective to establish and build a massive army rapidly. Other generals can have a lot of difficulties in collecting supplies. Their supply carriers are workers and trucks which have to take a lot of time to carry supplies from far because they have to avoid valleys, hills and ponds which make their routes longer. Enemies can take chances to cut off their supplies by pursuit and destroying carriers. Helicopter General does not have to face this problem because his carriers are helicopters, and they can cross over those disturbances. The Ability to collect supplies easily makes his army to build quickly.
Third thing is General promotion. Other generals get three stars general promotions only if they destroy enemy structures and bases. They have to try hard a lot to get promotions. Helicopter General gets a three stars general promotion just by building strategy center. That promotion is bombarding with leaflets bombs. This can easily break the opponent’s defense. So he can do first move easily before anybody does. The fourth is camouflage snipers and commandos. The sniper can shoot the defense structures far from their attack ranges. Enemies cannot detect him easily, because he is camouflaged. Commandos are fearful, too. They can sneak into the enemies’ bases and bomb and explode easily. As the fifth point, his invisible apaches and fighter apaches are deadly things that can defeat every vehicle or tank or aircraft. Invisible apaches can ambush and attack with surprise to enemies while fighter apaches can storm into enemies’ camps.
Above all the facts and points, I am sure it would be very hard to defeat Helicopter General. Then, it would be convenient for him to take down other generals. I want to say that USA Helicopter General is the most fearful and powerful in Command and Conquer General Game.
