1. Economy: When it comes to the strengths of the United States, first and foremost it is their economy, which will offer benefits for the entire game. Common for players to "eco whore" during the infantry stage of the game, spamming alot of infantry hq's to bolster their economy (stay away from airborne hq's as they don't generate as much money for USA).
 
2. AT Mech: One of the strongest Anti Tank Mech regiments in the game. Mechanized Production, Mechanical Reliability, and the special ops of Eisenhower and Patton make them that much stronger.
 
3. Arty Tanks: USA also has one of the strongest Arty Tank regiments. Use your superior economy to produce more units in less time, and back those arties with the best airpower in the game for a truly devastating offensive push.
 
4. Airpower: Best airpower in the game. Napalm very effective against enemy structures as buildings have no resistance to fire damage. Although the exact damage inflicted by napalm isnt very well documented, we have seen it add up to +70% to total damage.
 

1. Snipers: Snipers can take out enemy infantry faster than any other type of infantry. Not worth making snipers unless you deploy at least 8 or more regiments, as the sniper units of these regiments can easily kill an entire enemy regiment very quickly (since most regiments have 8 or less units). Keep your snipers in trees and cities to help avoid being "bombed".
 
2. Armor: Whether Heavy Tank or Arty Tank, Russia has some of the finest armor in the game. Russian armor has a higher health than the other countries, and in most cases a higher defense value as well, which can be seen in the following unit comparisons: [ARTY TANKS] [LIGHT TANKS] [MEDIUM TANKS] [HEAVY TANKS] [COMMAND TANKS]
 

1. Infantry: Japan has many options when it comes to infantry, and also has the right upgrades for an infantry based build, most notably, Special Forces. Mortars, Heavy Airborne, and Commandos are all viable options when it comes to Japan.
 
2. Economy: Japan is the only country to earn +30 from every type of HQ (after Military Surplus upgrade), which leads to a strong late-game economy.
 
3. Airborne: Japanese Heavy Airborne costs less than any other country, $75/$150 instead of $100/$200

4. Arty Tanks: The Japanese Arty Tank regiment is the only one in the game to feature medium tanks as support vehicles, all others only have light tanks.
 

1. SaS: They are the strongest infantry against all infantry and the second strongest infantry against mechs. Along with having 2 sniper units in their squad, SAS has a 2 defense, which differs from the typical 1 defense of most infantry. Their armor can even be upgraded to 3 defense with Special Forces for even more durability. This upgrade is a must have when going against mechs.
 
2. Economy: British HQ's cost less than those of any other country, which allows players to produce more buildings in less time, and in turn helps to bolster their economy.
 
3. Airpower: Second best airpower in the game, only missing the Napalm upgrade available exclusively to the USA.
 

1. AT Mech: Arguably the strongest Anti Tank Mech regiment in the game. The Jagdpanther and it's 88mm Gun inflict a punishing 100 attack value when fully upgraded, making it the best Tank Destroyer in the game hands down. Good available upgrades, only missing Mechanical Reliability, but Germany also has a couple of unique upgrades, Advanced Armor Training and Schurzen which help make up for this. Decent halftracks that possess the important Improved Machine Guns upgrade. The challenge with Germany is surviving the infantry stage of the game, and deploying enough of them with their weak economy. Played correctly, Germany can be a dominate force during the Mech Stage of the game.
 
2. Armor: Whether Heavy Tank, King Tiger Tank, or the underrated German Arty Tank, Germany has some of the finest armor in the game. The challenge with Germany is to get to the armor stage of the game, due to their weak economy.
