<![CDATA[Theta Civilian Rescue is simply unplayable solo]]>Its totally unplayable on hard difficulty, by all means, you can start developing your base at the last breaths of ACU, but not when T2 rhinos coming from nowhere with T2 rocket launchers and you dont even have T2 air or T2 shields/defence weaponry. And at 20th minuts author literally joking I assume.
I mean only 3+ players can win this, when giving all their income to the one and do nothing but defend this one with their ACUs

Like, ACU is you primary defend unit, and when you upgrading him, you cant walk and defend your base.
To do it, you have to make a lot of units (presumably T1, cause T2 is too expensive), which is also costs a lot of mass. And it will be okay(mostly), if not T2 rockets, especially when they are coming from above where T2 patrol are going.

I will soon go throught replay of @Nomander, want to see how)

Just that if you don't know it's exactly coming your way then you can get absolutely fucked by it.
Especially if you were already having trouble with the heavy RNG start. So having that drop happen can be a like a kick to the balls, out of nowhere and pretty hurtful.

And yeah, it's mostly knowing about how to get that early upgrades through the RNG shit start.

Wait till you get to minute 20 and learn there is a fucked up drop of 6 loyas and 20 rhinos on your base.

You can kill all of this with flak in the base, it’s one of the main reasons to build up the flak

I’d also say it’s a fairly reliable mission to beat after you get past the RNG first 5 minutes and have gun on your ACU. The reason for that is that AI has no ability to figure out how walls work so you can quickly wall off any way to attack your base outside of the main flat area which then just becomes a reclaim feed zone. Have flak spam around to deal with bombers and drops and you basically can do whatever you want at your leisure.

@FtXCommando You dount have enough mass to upgrade ACU, and furthermore, you dont have enough time to do it.
Tried like 10 times, no way to beat without cheats or mods

I’ve beat it like 2-3 times in the past, I don’t even think it was the hardest mission I’ve tried solo.

You definitely have enough mass to upgrade your ACU, it should be one of the first major investments you do after getting t2 land for flak

Still a difficult mission though, as with all custom missions on hard difficulty. They are intended to be a challenge for experienced players

Now Blockade is a mission I've been unable to crack solo

Gun ACU and flaks solve most of the problems.
