4.17: The Merl/Diplomat | [Back to the WarGuide]
Merls and Diplomats are great to use against a heavily defended base. If you need to take out a ton of missle towers to clear a path for your aircraft, then Merls/Diplomats combined with some Radar Jammers are the ticket. Have a scout plane or a few scout vehicles to make a run over your opponent's base, and be sure to have your Merls hotkeyed. As soon as you see something important, preferrably an anti-nuke, target it with your Merls. You can also target missle towers, and then send in your aircraft after the anti-nuke. Here is a perfect Merl attack group. The mobile radar aid with blind targeting while the jammers keep your efforts hidden.
