Hydrofoil in individual groups and air as described above.Īlways control Hydrofoil with double "^" for Anti-Air, and individually when using their secondary (if you fight against Akulas also move around using the mouse so that you're out of reach when the submarine surfaces, since the Soviets like to "Stop & Go "Micro their Akulas). Riptide all in one group, same goes for dolphins. You always have to assess whether attacking would be cost efficient or whether you should chose another target.Ģ-0 (Sea) = Riptides + Hydrofoils (+ possibly dolphins) + Air.
