Jet Tengu's main advantage is their strength in numbers. Since Jet Tengus never need to reload to Airbase or have the hangar limit of other anti-air aircrafts.

Apollos with the upgrade will dominate any competition. However the MIGs' missiles have blast radius, so large scale air2air battles where targets are clustered together lend the advantage back to them.

One small cool factor is how during WW2 where the air force was operated pretty much as a separate entity, Japanese aircraft were either the property of the IJA or IJN (called IJAAS or IJNAS respectively). In that sense, Red Alert 3 the Japanese cannot make airfields but their aircraft either comes from the War Factory (IJA) or from the Dockyards (IJN) and can transform into aircraft from there.

I loved this game so much, I don't know why

Okay, let me summarise.

tg for Red Alert 2 and The JB for Red Alert 3?! This is great! Keep the best of Red Alert alive!

Mig: you got a sucker for me?

Mecha Tengu is the weakest but most strategic due to its ease of production and endless ammunition. The last thing you want is to run out of ammo trying to down a Giga Fortress and watch as it decimates your base with 1% Hp because your fighters need to reload. Plus their firepower against air is actually quite good.

I swear the Mecha Tengus sound like a drug induced hispanic dude sometimes

Mecha Tengu is such a Robotech/Macross homage I love it

The Apollo Fighter is the faster and more durable jet, while the Jet Tangu is easier to mass produce and doesn't run out of ammunition.

Apollo: Best at shooting down other flying AA units. Is also the fastest which helps with catching pursuing enemies.

Apollo fighter: overall the best due to their effectiveness vs other air superiority fighters and their higher health pools, but lack against bigger things

Tile: comparing anti air jets

Huh I didn't think tengu would do this well. Thought the migs'd do the best, but they're only good for heavily armored stuff, and there's not that many armored air units.

Mecha tengu is the only unit without ammo reload and its great movement of being able to move on the ground and water
