Seth Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 How long would it take for a Kobra tank devastate a base and a devastator reach it. In my opinion Minotaurus is the best unit for defense and offense or even a Rush. Kobras are not that good they have to deploy before using their true potential, and devastators are too slow and missile tanks have weak armor. Therefore I recommend using minotaurus as your main assault units does any one have any advice or sneaky but useful tactics to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Kobra's are better in my opinion.The move pretty fast and thus can be where the action is. How I just hate the Atreides for it's slow units. Ok, Atreides have good base defence but you also need to protect other things like yer spice fields! Ordos can sent quick reinforcements, Atreides not.Mino's are also easely fooled since they shoot everthing they got in one blow and if that shot misses or only get's a scout it leaves them helpless for some time. A Kobra however spreads it's shots more effectively. This way they are way better against "infantry rushes" and projections.Mino's do have a little longer range however... (But Kobra's have more armor and regenerate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Minos are long-range assault units combo them with your short-range assualt units add/include other units for extra fire power as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 19, 2001 Author Share Posted December 19, 2001 Position the minos in the right place and have a lot of them can the scouts or any fast unit evade them combined with the mongoose. A laser tank tried to attack my minotaurus army but one of them hit it with one shell and slowed down then easy target. Just make sure even one shell hits so it would slow down and with some mongoose THERE IS NO ESCAPE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 If you're rushing, bring them in with the Advanced Carryalls. keep a group or two of 5 ad. carryalls, so you can bring in lots of units from lots of directions - and move into the base slowly (one step at a time), but destroying everything as it comes into range.

alphabeta4000 Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 kobra and mino same range when deployed kobra is better for defense if constantly under attack and no money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 A Mino has a longer range then a Kobra. (Very little but still... :-/)I tested them once 1 vs 1. (I took over the atreides MCV as Ordos.)Kobra's are (way) stronger if they start hitting at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Remember that the cost and other factors are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Indeed.I now know Mino's are better then Kobra's in general.Kobra's are so hard to use on a attack. :(The best thing of Mino's is that in a small group they can destroy a very large group before they even get the chance to fire!Their splash damage is good and they burst everything they got in one blow... However as I said earlyer that can also be a drawback if the other opponent micromanages good. It's very simpel why Mino's are the best (ground assault) unit:-In order to attack effective you need a large group.-Mino's are good against large groups (Because of Splash damage and quick burst!).*Remembers how my Mino's destroyed over 10 A. tanks which were just trying to get close to fire...* ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 use mongooses as escorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 23, 2001 Author Share Posted December 23, 2001 Indeed minos are the best send 4 of them in the Base and they blow them to sky high in no time. Kobras are hard cause you have to deploy them before they use their full potential in the cannons.By the way did any one notice that all mechs have the joints or "knees" at their back why is that. I mean that looks cool but it is questionable ;) ;) ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 Yes, in close up a devasators "knees" are really ugly!What were they thinking at WW! Do they have some 6 year old kiddo designer there or something? ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted December 25, 2001 Author Share Posted December 25, 2001 It slows up the movement of the devastator thanks to the third LEg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
