1. Cleaning the gutters is a snap, since I can easily jump three times my height.

2. Even though apartment buildings and skyscrapers have hundreds of windows, only two floors, an elevator shaft in between, and one room of the main hallway actually exist inside.

3. Pharmaceutical companies lost all their business to those guys that invented the first aid kit that insta-healed you when you walked over it.

4. I gotta work on my social phobia, being around crowds of over 30 people starts inducing stuttered vision and sluggish reaction time in myself. I'm pretty sure I'd black out and die if I went to a baseball game.

102: Tanks driving into a tree can just knock it down without slowing down at all or rolling over the log or crushing it

105: The GLA technical (a pickup with a machine gun on the back) is bigger than a normal car and taller

106: Soldiers are huge

111: When a soldier goes into a building, they can place barbed wire and paint areas over in the team colour. Then they can run from one end of the building to the other in seconds to fight the bad guys there

112: Simply place a toxin burst, a flashbang, a grenade, some buzzing blades, liquid tiberium burst or a flame burst at one end of the building and somehow EVERYONE in it dies, even if the building is HUGE.

113: Huge buildings can only hold 10 soldiers

114: There's always enough old WWII tanks lying around to make a huge army

115: In fact, there's always enough material to make a whole division of tanks even if it would take weeks for such supplies to be made and sent over to the battlefield

116: Tanks can be built quickly on the field, even though it would take weeks for a tank to be built, crewed and shipped over

117: Just build a simple factory out in the middle of a battlefield and you can create vehicles quickly, even though it might be in the middle of a warzone and supplies cannot reach it due to it being surrounded

121: A bulldozer can build a structure

122: Soldiers never get tired

123: Tanks never run out of fuel

124: Helicopters can stay in the air indefinitely, so that Helix which looks like it burns a lot of petrol at that size and with the rotors never runs out and wastes a lot hovering there (if it's nuclear powered, oh well)

125: A single missile can level a whole city block, yet if you fire it at the ground, it creates a tiny crater

126: In fact, why does a tank shell or a missile destroy multiple buildings. Shouldn't it just damage them?

127: Nuclear weapons don't completely destroy a base and units can survive the blast, even if they were in the middle of it

128: A rocket buggy can run someone over and not suffer a point of damage or slow down from doing so and also knock over trees, even though it's overbalanced at the rear with missiles and has 4 big tyres and a weak chassis and goes down with one or two tank shells quickly

TheBladeRoden

129. Each and every nations' congresses blocked all external military funding.

131: In a huge-scale conflict, you have to build your own army as your nation will not send you any extra forces (And in RON, armies are pathetic boosts).

132: Base defences are key, even though the Battle of Stalingrad was the last modern siege during a war

133: Aircraft can be shot down by a gatling gun, even though they'd probably be high in the sky and dropping their payloads from such height

134: To destroy toxin plants, you have to remove all anti air, even if they're so far away, your planes are most likely not to be hit

135: In fact, why do you have to bring down the mountain on the secret lab? Wouldn't a cruise missile strike or a carpet bombing do the trick, or has Russia gone soft in stopping the GLA?

136: Transports always carry a set number of units. It could be 5 soldiers, 5 jeeps, 5 tanks or 5 mammoth tanks.

137: An Overlord Tank is twice as big as a Battlemaster, but it takes up 3 spaces in a transport, yet a dozer which isn't as big as the Overlord takes up 6 spaces!

162: Soldiers do not seek cover behind things, they just stand there firing

163: MOAB + Army = Weeeeee!!!!

actually on the european front especially germans had WAY more casualties than the americans due to the fact we came late and even then didnt do the most of the fighting.

unless your talking about the fact that in games 1 american soldier = 5000 germans which is completly true in most WW2 video games

490. Another theory is that infantry just randomly spawn in men's showers like mildew (TF2).

491. The art of throwing grenades or making stronger armor has to be relearned at every battle.

492. Said learning also has to be learned at front line academies.

493. Pumping electricity into a sniper bullet will make it more powerful when you fire it.
