119's "Command the Past, Conquer the Future" Edges


 * Cannon Fodder: The Nod militia have better armor and can be given Tiberium infusions to increase strength. Edge: Nod


 * Anti-Armor: The Nod Rocket Squad carry anti-tank rockets that seem to have at least a limited guidance system, making them more accurate, and can fire more shots, however, the Flak Troopers have powerful AT mines. Also, the rocket gunners are more loyal to Nod than the Flak Troopers to the USSR. For this reason, I'll call this one even.


 * Elites: The Tesla Troopers have a more powerful weapon, however, I give the edge to the Shadow teams as the capable of moving undetected with their active camouflage provided their are no units capable of detecting stealth units in the vicinity. Their ability to fly using their wingsuits further increases their effectiveness over the Tesla Troopers. Edge: Nod


 * Light Vehicles: The Bullfrog completely outclasses the buggy with superior firepower with its quad 23mm AA guns, as well as the novel troops deployment system and probably at least slightly heavier armor than the buggy. Edge: USSR


 * Tanks: The Hammer tank has a less powerful gun, but it is capable of repairing itself and stealing enemy weapons with its Leech Beam, meaning it could potentially arm itself with the Scorpion's own 105mm main gun or even the a laser weapon. For this reason, it gains a slight Edge: USSR


 * Heavy Vehicles: The Apocalypse tank probably has superior armor and armament to the Avatar, giving it the edge as it is similar to the GDI Mammoth Tank that could overpower the Avatar. Edge: USSR


 * Light Aircraft: The Twinblade carries a heavier armament than the Venom, and has the additional ability to transport units. Edge: USSR


 * Heavy Aircraft: The Kirov has an unlimited supply of ammunition, and is slow, while the Vertigo has only a single bomb and is very fast and stealthy. Not to mention, if we do this by "real-world logic", the Kirov is so big that there is no reason short of game mechanics why the Vertigo could not land a bomb hit on the Kirov. Even
