SpiceSmoker Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 I could have sworn that AIR defense Platform fired on my ground units in one mission. I thin it also fired on the units that were placed on the elevations. Is it true or I am smoking too much spice lately??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exatreide Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Um it fires on ground units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Indeed, but the guide says it is only AA.A bit strange indeed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceSmoker Posted January 12, 2002 Author Share Posted January 12, 2002 Yeah I have the guide too. Purchased it but not really reading. I have reinvented my own strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 well whoever wrote the guide is insane, the ADP is way better against ground than air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 The ADP is much better against air, but it's not too bad against ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceSmoker Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Hmmm not really it has to be paired with AA turrets to be effective. A couple of drones will smoke it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphabeta4000 Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 welll any air unit that shoots can smoke it with out taking damage (exception air mine but that really isn't shooting) Just move in fire missile move out and repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 i find they are best used for help in covering up weak points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeydRauttah Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Air Defense Platforms are good for enemy infantry (that is, not Ordos AA troopers or Harkonnen Bazooka men). You can use them as an opening for a massed land attack. If you don't want to face a bunch of Kindjals, Snipers and Atreides Infantry, or Ordos Mortars and Chems, just fly over with 1-2 ADPs and then drive in. ADPs are also good for keeping your harvesting secure from infantry, light vehicles and aircraft. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 [glow=red,2,0]??? ?? :O :O In the guide I have says that APD can fire on ground, maybe a bad dutch translation?[/glow] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 No I'm pretty sure they can fire on the ground too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 For the 100th time, ADP can shoot to ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 And the manual say so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Dont believe everything what the Manual says. "All" Ordos units slow down when hitted. Weird the Inf doesnt slow down then?And Harkonnen units tough?? And still they die by a few shots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 ADP canfire on ground units there amazing against vehiclesbut not against men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 ehh... They are better against infantery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 it is true.... the dutch manual indeed says it fires on the ground as it is in the game (so dutch ppl rule :-)) but any way.... i don't find the adp very usefull... very expensive... incredibly slow... and easy to kill.... range not too good and damage only vs. light units and infantry.....
