All Guns Blazing

I've came to the conclusion that this mission is virtually unbeatable if you play as Allies.

You start on a giant fortress with japanese wave cannons on all sides. Each wave force cannon wll take out a tank in one shot, and has a massive area of coverage literally from the off-ramp of your base.

You can't directly attack with tanks unless you like wasting 25K a pop on a tank and riptide APC set strong enough to get out of the off ramp in the first place.

Surgical bombing the wave cannons has near to no effect with little damage and a long reload time for another go. By that time, the CPU has already fixed the damage caused.

Combining Cryogeddon with surgical strike is also another lesson in futility. The wave cannons are static, and seem to be invunerable to cryoshots - no extra damage done.

Adding the supreme time bomb alongside a surgical strike removes half the wave cannons health, however is again fully repaired before reload.

To recap, attacking these wave cannons with tanks (25) will fail. Attacking it with a combination of tanks and precision bombing/ time bomb (of those that do survive!) will also fail. Crippling the AI's economy won't work, as it has ample supply mines (6 - 10) and can buld them faster than you can effectively destroy them with precision strikes/ time bombs - a land assault won't make it past the off ramp.

The wave cannons need to be toned down in health, to enable us who play as allies to even get off the ramp from the base.

The cryo copter doesn't do any damage, but when a unit is frozen even a single shot from a Conscript can destroy it. So Cryocopter + bombing run = win.

That said my walkthrough shows how to complete it as Empire: CnCWorld | Command & Conquer, Red Alert 3, Tiberium Wars, The First Decade
