- NOD right now is pretty much weaker than GDI in almost every way. Your predator tanks counter not only chem buggies, but also scorpion tanks as well. Your pitbulls counter all NOD air units (yea, a pitbull loses to a banshee, but just barely in a 1v1 and costs 20 tib less. In a 2v1 both pits survive with plenty of HP and have the raider ability to make this happen consistently) as well as your pitbulls beat bikes. A moving MLRS beats a set up giga cannon and costs less, as well as MLRS 1 shots an oxanna boosted scorpion tank where as a jackson boosted predator stomps scorpions and giga cannons alike. Embrace the war factory of GDI and you will see a drastic increase to your win rating.
but what if the nOD guy plays main lasertroops and the rest of his roaster is protecting them? its just over! i guess jackson would make things a bit better but he isnt high enough yet. also its not working out number wise because if u need 2 to counter 1 unit than u run out of space and production speed. nOD counters stuff to fast and to easy to make it work on a high lvl. banshees are insane strong and to hard to counter and the reverse counter will always get u. GDI is to weak and slow to keep up
- rifles, shocks, mg team, snipers, war dogs, rhino's, talons... gdi has no shortage of options to deal with laser troopers. And you don't need to 2v1 nod units. 1v1 pred beats scorpion. 1v1 pitbull beats bikes. 1v1 mlrs beats giga. NOD has to 2v1 you. So cover your slow units with support units like rhino's or shocks and you won't have an issue.
Yea, sure banshee is good. But mohawk is better. You need to play your units to their strengths, not let them fight unwinnable battles. Now I prefer standard buggy than chem buggy. A chem buggy cost twice but has almost same hp as a standard buggy. Also, it kills infantry too fast, so your opponent is easy to replace lost infantries with bikes/pitbulls and doom your chem buggy. Buggy kills slow but cheap and not allow your opponent to shift easily so you have more time to predict and prepare. It's not really a pity they die because they are so cheap and can come back so fast.

- many of u guys asume u can run all units in a lineup but if u actuall play the game u will see there are only 5 spots and with that 5 u cant build a well rounded GDi matchup but with NOd u can easy and fit in some tech... i dont know on wich lvl u are playing but i asume its not that high. GDi needs some love from dev side and better earliegame counters. gdi is not even able to run scouts decently

Hey, if you have official stats, don't keep them to yourself! Pease share with everyone. But last it was asked and responded to, GDI vs NOD in gold and up is close to 50%. However, GDI has a 100% victory rate VS GDI. So keep that in mind 😉

GDi needs some love from dev side and better earliegame counters. gdi is not even able to run scouts decentlyFor the most part, each faction has the same units. Sure, GDI has a sniper or mg team and NOD has chem buggies and scarabs, but those aren't role defining units. And the fact that you act like tech is the I win button that all NOD gets tells me "wich lvl u are playing" because in Tiberium league which is where I play, tech is a death sentence. But hey, I'll humor you. Let's say all you said is true, NOD has a much weaker tech lab than GDI, lol. Every GDI tech option is a solid one that can work very well. Meanwhile for NOD you have quite a few weak options. Centurian, confessors, artillery all pale in comparison to what GDI brings to the tech table. But hey, what do I know, right? After all, you "asume" I'm not very high. Only finished 22nd in the last season and currently hold 30th 🤭
