Is Operation Stilleto impossible on hard?

I feel like i'm getting slapped around by a drunken abusive RNGesus, grab the GDI base and I have like five minutes to clear everything out and build up a force to totally control the flow of the battle... or I have two minutes until those big Scrin ships fly in and level me.

Not really. You can cheese the mission by going into plan mode (initiated by pressing the zigzagging lines button at the bottom left corner of the screen). Place all engineers near the buildings you want to steal, then set up the plan to capture all those buildings with said engineers. Execute plan. All buildings stolen and the mission ends.

Otherwise just spaming rockets and militia works because the game design is awful for the SP missions.

Here's a walkthrough video. All objectives are completed.

Scrin aren't aggressive on sight? Weird. I get why GDI isn't.

None of the factions should attack you on sight unless you do something hostile first.
