Learn how to effectively utilize Construction Aircraft in Total Annihilation. This guide covers their roles, build orders, and strategic advantages for both early and late game.

This section of the guide focuses on Construction Aircraft in Total Annihilation. These units are vital for expanding your base, repairing structures, and building new units and defenses, especially in the early to mid-game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Early Game Construction: Focus on building a Construction Aircraft (CA) as soon as your Commander can produce one. Use this initial CA to build a new Commander, a Metal Maker, and a basic factory (either land or air, depending on your starting strategy).
  2. 2
    Expanding Your Base: Once you have a second Commander, use your CAs to build additional Metal Makers, reclaimers, and more factories. Prioritize building structures that increase your resource income and unit production capacity.
  3. 3
    Repair and Defense: CAs can also be used to repair damaged structures and units. Keep a CA near your front lines or important bases to quickly repair defenses and offensive units during combat.
  4. 4
    Mid to Late Game: As the game progresses, you will need more CAs to keep up with the demand for new structures and units. Consider building specialized CAs for different tasks, such as dedicated builders for large construction projects or repair CAs for frontline support.
  5. 5
    Advanced Tactics: Utilize CAs to construct advanced structures like Advanced Construction Drones, Advanced Factories, and strategic weapons. They are also essential for building and repairing your own Commander if it gets damaged.
Tips
  • Always keep your CAs protected. They are vulnerable to attack and losing them can severely set back your construction efforts.
  • Build CAs in groups to speed up construction and repair times.
  • Use the 'assist' command to have multiple CAs work on the same structure simultaneously.
  • Don't forget to build a new Commander early on; it's crucial for expanding your construction capabilities.
  • Consider the terrain when deciding where to build. CAs can only build on flat ground.
