Firebases are vulnerable Vs. GLA terrorists. Most of the U.S defenses are. You need to deploy a fast attack mobile unit near it to protect it.
make a laser turret, put a vee with 2 MDs and 3 rangers on assault guns in front of the laser turret on guard. Put a drone beyond the line of sight of the defenses so that you can see when the technical comes. Micro the vee as soon as you see a technical. the turret and the MDs in the vee will kill the technical from far enough. Run around the remaining terrorists trying to take down the turret with your vee. The resultant effect of the assault guns from the three rangers, the one mounted on the vee and the laser turret will reduce their number to about one or even zero before they reach the turret, which can be repaired.
Send in a bait when you are sure you will confront a powerful force popping out of tunnels. A couple of ambulances or spy drones etc were an expendable option and good at drawing fire from his quads compared to just blindly rushing in with your rock-vees. Spy drones take way more hits from both quads and rockets compared to rockvees. This simple trick creates a huge headache to the tunnel popper coz his buggies and quads will empty their first salvo on the bait instead of your rock-vees as soon as they are popped out while your rock-vees can easily take them out.
He destroyed your supply docks multiple times. after rebuilding them each time, you got a new nook. and after everything you had about 7-8 nooks but there was only one nook picking from the supply while the supplies in the middle were left unused by both.
ATTACK HIS SUPPLY DOCKS. Use the rangers you got from destroyed buildings. Use the nooks you got from the supply docks. Harass him try to cap his buildings. force his quads out at his base to kill your capping rangers. Attack and destroy his flanking tunnels while hes busy killing your rangers. Take his attention off trying to pick and choose where to drop his terrorists in your base.

Try not to drone where his tunnel is. It's safer to place it at his supply. ONce you saw what he was doing you should have sent 2 hellfire vees to his supplies to kill the workers there. Followed by 2 full vees with an ambo to rape his base. You should attack down the middle if it is empty. Attacking 2 tunnels with heavy quad support when you could avoid them completely is very stupid. You should have placed vees on guard mode on each flank. Don't mass huge numbers of vees in your base. Attack and tech up. You could also have placed a laser patriot at the flank to stop any other TTs from screwing you over. Firebases are directly countered by TTs so I don't know why you decided to build them. A laser patriot would have been a much wiser choice. Send your nooks to collect in the middle if you have any spare. This increases map awareness and economy. Alternatively you could have ferried your vees around his defences inside those nooks. When you have no dozers vs a TT spamming opponent its generally a good idea to prevent any further TTs.
2/10 - You basically did nothing this entire game and made all the wrong desicions. The only reason you didn't get a 1 was because it was more to do with Stealth's strengths than your weaknesses.
Stealth
If the USA player attacks you immediately when you are using mass TT then you will die. Mass Tech RPG works a lot better if you aren't comfortable with generic quad/rpg. You should have gone for his supplies much earlier. After not having his wf for a large portion of the game, he will have most certainly gained enough money to rebuild several times over. Well played getting his dozers, but you should have done this earlier. Nice camping to eventually destroy his forces whilst sneaking into his base with another TT. You needed to get the mid ASAP however you did get the oils. Don't make so many tunnels in your own base. Make them all on his side of the map and try to wall him in.
6/10 - Nice play but a few mistakes here and there whilst not really demonstrating anything special.
Overall - 1/10 - This was an ownage replay in all honesty. Incredibly one-sided if not.
