I just got an image of a Carrier looming near a Yuri base, fruitlessly swarming at it's Gatling guns, discovering only that with each swarm, the interceptors die faster each time....

1. Corsairs disable gatling guns
2. Carriers cut gatling guns to ribbons
3. Arbiters call in ground reinforcements to overrun the base
4. If the defensive forces are too strong to be overrun in one swoop the Arbiters can put part of them in stasis and they can be dealt with later.

How do the Corsairs do this? How do the Carriers do this when their aircraft are being shot down?

Nevermind that if there's a Psychic Tower in the region, they'll get in close, then turn around and attack the Carriers....

Err... The protoss share a 'psychic link', I doubt they will be affected by Yuri's pathetic mind tricks.

Err... you don't know how the disruption web works, do you?

It disables all mechanical units including stationary defenses which are caught in it ie gatling turrets are unable to fire back and so are tank mounted missile launchers.
Makes them easy prey for air units.

Btw:
Admittedly RA2 has an overweight concerning ground units.
That's why SC will have to rely heavily on spaceship support.

And wehat if they had no starcraft, comrade ?

That's where our strengths come in , yes ? :lol:

Besides, though this is just an assumption, should the Soviets and Allies steal the starfighter technology from the Terrans, and some psionic weaponry from the Protoss, we much more powerful, yes ? :lol:

Just assumption, but, think about it.

Yes, if we exclude SC, RA wins since it has more and fancier ground weaponry. If reverse-engineering of Protoss technology is possible, well, I doubt it, but with Terran technology that might be possible.

So, to make a peace, can we agree on a victory for SC with Capship support and a victory for RA2 without capships and only light starcraft such as fighters?

Now, for a new challenge. Anyone can think of a worthy adversary to the C &C armies ?

Reaver comes along. Reaver fires one SCARAB which smacks Mammoth tank down.

Dragoon comes. Singularity charges incinerate everything in their path(watch the cutscenes, foo'). Most everything else bites the dust.

Tesla Coil fires. Lightning current is negated by Plasma Shield (the Protoss use plasma shields, and if you can sustain plasma shields, you have got to have a very powerful electrical field active.)

Rhino comes. Dark Templar sneaks up into Rhino, rips everyone inside a new one, then stalks off to the next one.

I rest my case.
Believe in the sign of Hentai.
