Overview

The Advanced War Factory is the upgraded War Factory: it keeps the Tier-1 roster and adds Battle Tanks, Tank Destroyers, SAM Launchers and Howitzers. With a Radar Station standing, it also builds the Tier-3 Mammoth and Tempest.

How to use

This is the upgrade that matters most in a ground war; get it before the enemy does. Its power draw is higher, so add a plant first. Once it is up, build Bisons as the backbone and add specialists as you scout what the enemy fields.

Counters

The same as the basic factory. It is a high-value target for bombers and artillery.
