My experience so far
Level 5 - 759/950 (574 GDI - Sector 3, 185 NOD - Sector 1) This is all going to be focused more on GDI since I haven't played NOD that much yet (playing to farm coins for training those units). Ri...

Yeah, I've been in a few of those scenarios but only start producing tech lab units when they start using those units in a strategy. But the majority of the time you'll have players producing only vehicle or air units, even when they see that it just isn't working out after losing their harvester twice.
Sometimes if I'm confident in map control I'll purposely kill off some units to get a better unit out there. Doesn't always work out though since that involves letting the other player build up the nuke timer.
But its also interesting to watch when you start targeting their harvester and one or two points and they can't split their attention between them.

yeah the main thing about the nuke timer is it doesn't matter who builds it up, it only matters who is the most dominant right at the moment it goes off. You could have a harvester contesting a point and even it'd count. If you're holding 1 point and contesting two, it goes off for you, so a lot of people will use the early game to scout or harass harvesters so that they can have the right units at the time of the nuke turnover
just wait till you meet cyborgs, those things will make you glad that the rockets are as good as they are, at least till flame troopers and confessors come along lol
