His question is already answered, T2 pds, or Aeon double gun early game, or any air if he is alone.

As long as you actually react and then counter it instead of trying to outspam it, you should be fine

Gun commander = time to stop T1 spam and go T2. I would recommend supplementing your Aurora horde with a few Asylums. Then transition into Blazes and/or Obsidians. Beyond this, you can seek to nullify the investment in an ACU gun by avoiding it. Split up your army and send it to raid on all different parts of the map.

You should also consider a T2 Aerial counter. I'd imagine your opponent would be reluctant to use their ACU aggressively if you start threatening him with Mercies, or Specres.

Yes. a couple accurate mercies would cool off the dude as they knock off 2.4k hp each. Hawkei is right to suggesting raiding the main base as the gun com is probably not on defensive.

Aeon gun com is far superior to any other gun com, besides the fact you can even rush rate of fire for approximately 1/2 the cost of regular gun and beat the shit out of them because you have 2x dps.

Or even rush range and just rape their units from 10000000km away

Not necessarily true. Gun coms that are not Aeon have a bit more range. Aeon speed gun doesn't add range. So if you walk straight on them and they walk straight away from you, you will never get them but they will get you.
