Supreme Commander’s big units dominate
The game Supreme Commander developed by Gas Powered Games and published by THQ is considered by many to be the “Spiritual Successor” of the cult classic Total Annihilation. The game features units of different sizes, though what we will be focusing on are the end game behemoths. So far, three large units have managed to catch our (and IGN’s) attention.
Armored Command Unit (ACU):
The ACU serves as a command center, barracks, and upgrade hub all in one giant package of pwnage. The scary thing is, you can actually use this as a mobile weapon of destruction once it’s been upgraded. After undergoing the multiple upgrades at its disposal, this baby can actually dominate a map when used with the proper support units.

Tier 4 units
Submersible Aircraft Carrier
Codename: Atlantis
This little beauty can transport a fleet of aircraft across great distances, all the while hiding the threat from your enemies. The Atlantis can be used for Gunship support when deploying to an enemy’s base. It works best sneaking in from behind and gutting the opposition’s base from within.
Strategic Artillery
Codename: Mavor
Say hello to my little friend. This artillery piece is used for precise long range strikes. The damage output is excellent and stoppage power is impressive for the Mavor. However, it takes a lot of time to build this, but when you do, your opponents had better be looking for some cover.
Mobile Factory
Codename: Fatboy
This tank carries armor and firepower equivalent to a standard UEF Battleship. However, it can create its own small army to assist it. One or two of these hidden behind enemy line spells defeat for the opposition.
These behemoths will win battles, but getting to the point where you can build them, that’s another story.
Still, it seems that size does matter.
