since all air units for the air force general have point defense lasers, this means you can park your chinooks over your firebases, and their point defense lasers will shoot down MIG fighter missiles. You put your snipers in guard mode, they move to attack infantry and they get decloaked. They are only cloaked when they are stationary and not attacking.
I have mixed experiences with using Combat Chinooks against China. Their are still susceptible to Gatling weapons, and Overlords and Gatling Tanks down them quickly.
I know this is an old post, but still relevant. Pathfinders are best left NOT on guard mode. They will cover a large area and won't move. When they move, they lose stealth AND don't fire. They should never be on guard mode. Also, when you reposition them, you should use the "attack-move" command so that they will stop and shoot any enemy infantry on their way to their new position. Thanks for all the challenge videos!
Pretty late comment but I used this strat for this challenge in hard mode but managed to hold down both the bunkers and the vehicle pad north, this mission kicked my ass until I found this

It's certainly easier as GLA and China, I think.
your playthrough of this is making me want to install ZH again ^^
i play it since 2011, and it's still my favorite military strategy game...
I hope it gets a remaster at one point.
Great Videos enjoyed your Generals Challenge and Tiberium Dawn Redux, made me miss the game so much to buy the ultimate collection of C&C 😊
Always glad to hear that. :)
Why not building patriots?
Your defense is weak.. you shouldve built avengers and extra more firebases with missile dudes
It's an utterly ridiculous challenge. Way too much stuff attacking before you can get any proper defence.
