History YMMV / SupremeCommander2

** [[UpToEleven THE FUCKING VULTHOO GUNSHIP FOR THE ILLUMINATE.]] Gunships in this game are already quite tanky, and the Vulthoo for the Illuminate is rather well-priced, fast, and tough with a solid weapon. Now combine this with the Illuminate Air Unit Upgrade that allows them to shoot chaff that makes ground AA miss and some shields, and you've got a great unit that already holds up well even under attacks from fighters. Now give it the ability to FUCKING TELEPORT, and a group of over 30 of them can melt heavily defended bases with laughable ease. AA towers will struggle to damage them at all, AA ground units are virtually useless, and even fighters, the '''hard counter to air units like gunships,''' end up being limp since they can only target one unit at a time, and Vulthoo hordes have a nasty tendency to "clump" together into one unit due to them hovering while firing, meaning they constantly (albeit unintentionally) alternate in taking punishment.

* The UEF AC-1000 is a similarly powerful air Experimental, with great armor and immense firepower alongside great mobility and a relatively fast construction time. A group of them can wipe out even the most heavily defended bases. They don't have the ability to engage fighters, however, and due to them being large single units enough fighters can counter them.

* TheyJustDidntCare: The writers for the single player campaign don't seem to realize that they're writing a sequel to an existing game. Of special hilarity is Ivan and Gustav Brackman's exchange about Naval Leg Technology. They talk about it as if it's a fresh out of the lab experiment despite land walking capabilities having been standard equipment on Cybran destroyers in the first two games. Which took place only twenty-five years earlier.

* DemonicSpiders: Getting swamped with Cybran [[NotSoHarmless engineers]], [[ZergRush assault]] [[WeHaveReserves bots]] and [[FunWithAcronyms LEGS]]-equipped ships makes for a bad day. Becomes a nightmare when Jump Jets are available.

** A BrokenBase requires the split to be between fans of the original. Most of the fans of this version seem to be people that didn't like the first one.

*** Specifically he felt disappointed that T1 units were simply being thrown to the meat grinder when the jump to T2 was made and so on. Thus upgrading units seemed to be the ideal solution to stopping it. As for being an 'Economic Crisis Simulator with Robots', part of the enjoyment of the first game was maintaining an energy surplus, while balancing every single unit of metal being produced and feeding it into production. The designers seem to have missed how crucial this is to keep it from being another Starcraft clone.

** The general overview of the whole thing is that if one has a PC, the first one is the best. If it's an xbox, it's the second one.
