Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3vsWorld in Conflict
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Reads · Grand Arena
Three-faction Cold-War RTS with naval combat where faction asymmetry and multi-front pressure are the core tests.
World in Conflict
Reads · Mind & Math
Cold-War-gone-hot tactical RTS with no base building, just role-based unit warfare and nukes.

World in Conflict
Team multiplayer hinges on predicting enemy drops
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Ore spawning and naval choke variance add moderate uncertainty
World in Conflict
Limited intel on enemy reinforcement choices
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Production order and defensive placement are learnable but more flexible
World in Conflict
Unit counters and tactical-aid economy are learnable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
