I was using the chinese nuke general and built a whole heap of overlords. I
attacked the US base but had my butt kicked good and proper thanks to the
numerous emp patriot batteries. Anyone have any good strategies against
them?

Infantry work well as long as there isn't a long range ballistic nearby. Or
a sniper.

Fast aircraft too

Reckon? I've had squads of AT (china, us and gla) wiped out in no time by a
couple of emp patriots. I am exploiting aircraft at the moment. I've found
the nuclear migs to be quite useful.

Use aoura on power, one plane per power center with bombardment selected as battleplan.

For one or two plane cost you can diable them and march right into his base.

If your not USA then I would use some units made for base defences, like the nuke cannons, scud launchers, and Tomahawks.

When you click your war factory the units tell you what they are strong against. Build some units strong against base defences.

Also a mutil attack works, try some choppers, planes, tanks, and infantry combo- usually the patriots will fire at one type of unit first while the other units kill off the patriots.

One thing I do is just as my tanks hit defences I send some extra chinooks I have (after suplies collected) and the base defences always fire on the chinooks while the tanks break through no trouble.

Also-

Save up your generals points and use them against the defenes to break in.

Once your in the base- the game is usually over soon.....

Getting in is the tricky part- so you need to plan. Don't just send tanks in to get smashed and waste them
