Can add an secondary weapon to the Sam site so functions like Missile Bunker of TI, but only against airplanes.
Multiple low damage, high speed missiles get launched againts Yak and Migs, current weapon remains in use against helicopters.

what about an seperate secondary scout dog unit that exists solely for that purpose that has the required vision and speed as its perma-sprinting. Infact you dont need it to come out of the Kennel, it can even be in the form of an motorcycle with an sidecar. RA3 mortar bike thingy comes to mind, exc...

Convert Flak Truck into Mortar Truck

+ Mortar would function like an mini-arty, making it worthwhile against clusters of infantry and buildings when in large groups. + It could function better for early game harass purposes as its speedy unlike other artillery pieces + Is the earliest available artillery piece in tech-trees. + Could ga...

Humvees in Gen:Zh. Do you just want to make games low res versions of Generals? Seems to be the basis of every other opinion you've made on this forum. No. I mean this should move forward and improve upon the design to make it worthwhile, as OpenRA is not true to the original anyways. The best way ...

Yes to minelayer being able to detect. Or better yet: Minelayer doubles as a mineplow, suffers greatly reduced dmg from mines, but still have to clear fields moving through them(and suffering dmg in the process).

The trike could also benefit from having faction differences: Ordos: has an secondary weapon in the form of an tow missile that gives it soft av capability, like upgraded Humvees in Gen:Zh. Harkonnens: Dune 2k 'Emperor: Battle for Dune' had this Buzzsaw mounted thingy, inspired from that can make it...

In order to differentiate Hind from it's counterparts and to amplify overarching soviet superiority theme it can become capable of resupplying in the air, existing independent of an helipad. Its combat power being weaker than Yak but as can stay indefinetely long on air... In one of the cutscenes(or...

To add another fantasy suggestion: Do not allow multiple mcvs, instead allow up to 3 building cranes(base cost 1500 and +750 for the next each time you build one, preq. Tech Center) for multiple build queues and make expansion point vehicle available instead Mcv. Expansion point could have unused gr...

If damage dealt is the issue perhaps can change the way mines work to become like the chinese minefields of generals. The minelayer would have 1 ammo but lay multiple small mines(like 5 per use) scattered around its position upon use. Each landmine base size of infantry sprite instead occupying an w...

Dogs may swim but they should drown at open sea, can only swim for an maximum tile distance or the dog will be on timer upon entering sea and must go on land to not drown before it expires. Still they would not be really useful in large bodies of water as speed must reduce when in water, perhaps add...
