Master the Dangerous Skies mission in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Learn strategies for Imperial, Soviet, and Allied factions, unit recommendations, and tips for defeating Vera and Giles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Build two fleets of Fighter Jets, one for each Commander.
  2. 2
    Secure the Ore Nodes on the island to the west.
  3. 3
    Ensure sufficient defenses against Vindicators and Soviet Infantry.
  4. 4
    Prioritize attacking Giles' base: Build a Naval Yard and send ships to destroy it. Produce Anti-Air ships to counter his Vindicators. Use an adequate Air or Naval Force to annihilate his base and pursue his retreating forces.
  5. 5
    Attack Vera's base to the north: Build a sizeable ground force and charge her base, using your Fighter fleets to destroy her Aircraft.
  6. 6
    Secure any vacant Ore Nodes whenever possible.

Faction-Specific Strategies:

  • As the Soviets: Use Twinblades to shoot down enemy bases. Battle Bunkers are effective for protecting Tech Structures.
  • As the Allies: The Assault Destroyer is invaluable for destroying Giles' base. Hydrofoils can effectively counter Giles' Vindicators.
  • As the Imperials: Build numerous Tengu units. In Jet form, they counter Air Attacks. In Mecha form, they fend off Vera's Infantry. A squad of Tengu and VXs should be sufficient to defeat Giles. Use Steel Ronin to deal with Vera's base.

Strategy by Hezzara (Imperial):

  • Build 2 Generators, a Dojo, and 2 Refineries.
  • Construct a Mecha Bay and produce Mecha Tengus to patrol and destroy Vindicators, Twinblades, and Vera's Infantry until a Defender Core is established.
  • Once the skies are clear, train Archer Maidens and establish another Refinery, escorting it to the northern Ore Nodes. Archer Maidens deter Twinblades, but occasional Tengu support may be needed.
  • With two Refineries at the northern ore nodes guarded by Archer Maidens, focus on Giles' base.
  • Execute a VX rush, supported by Mecha Tengus, to push Giles out. While Apollos might be stronger, Tengus offer numerical advantage. For Vera's base, consider Steel Ronin supported by Mecha Tengu to counter her flak defenses.
