Guest Vince_skz Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 I think the mcv could be used as a distractor for the enemy fire... it has a great armor and if u send one near the enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted August 19, 2000 Share Posted August 19, 2000 I agree but they are really slow plus weren't they fairly expensive? I used to use Trikes or Quads and run them through quickly a few times while the heavy tanks took out the defenses that were "occupied" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 I always used three rocket tanks with three siege tanks for escort to take out the defences. Plus I had a backup team like that one just a tile behind, so that any enemy foolish enough to rush my R. Tanks would be thumped to the ground. Never sacrificed units except for scouting.I always had a 15:1 + kill ratio. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 That's about the same tactic as I used. In my opinion rocket tanks where the only way to take out defenses ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Strangely enough, Sonic Tanks had more range when attacking from bellow ... but got their arse kicked from all other directions ... go figure. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 I didn't even know that :)But I guess Dune 2 has a lot of these strange things, but what would you expect from the world's first RTS :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTF Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 I also used Siege tanks with Rocket Launchers, but I aimed for a kill ratio of 1:0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tabaqui of Gidur-log Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 A great tactic i used was to use the rocket.tank to attack another slower tank. I could get two shots in, and then run. After a few seconds the defender returned to his post as if nothing happened and i fired again till its dead. esp. usefulagainst devestators and siege.ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcel Posted November 11, 2000 Share Posted November 11, 2000 Yeah, I remember that tactice. I used that too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katz Posted November 11, 2000 Share Posted November 11, 2000 If you want to get rid of those blasted rocket turrets, make sure the turret is at the very top of the screen and you have a launcher at the very bottom in the same vertical plane. You can put another launcher one tile up and one tile left/right of the first one. All three will be out of range of the turret. This works if you have the launcher at the top of the screen and the turret at the bottom, too. I expect that this is VERY well-known, but I thought I'd pass it on, just in case...

nemafakei Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Why do so many use the past tenses? Do you not still play DII?That last tactic (Rocket hit and run) can be especially fun with deviators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutus Posted December 27, 2001 Share Posted December 27, 2001 I still play it some. (i played it today, too bad windows ME dont support old DOS games......(you dont get sound, and some games dont work at all) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I still, have it. Haven't played it for a long time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Dune II is still worth playing (partly because you can load a game in under 2 secs, whil emp takes some time longer). And that says a lot, given its age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordmaster_Duncan Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Dune 2 is more than a classic. I think that it is better then dune 2000. And it was revolutionary. As for users of ME, get a boot disk, start in dos and play dune 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Playing a game in DOS, the old ways never really die do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I played Dune II, but now Emperor.I used always some launchers (or sonic tanks) to destroy the turrets, and so the entire baseBut my turrets, when they were bored, always fired at the northwest corner. Looked pretty funny ;D ;D ;D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 hehe yeah about that sonic range thing... that's right indeed... i found out the same problem when i was playin it with atreides...and that rocket tank strat works indeed very easy vertically... but is harder horizontal as the screen is wider horizontal... and you can put 3 rocket tanx to attack one turret... perhaps even 5.. can't remember it too good thoughx = rocket tanky = rocket turret x x x x x y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
