Dante Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I meant as defence. I had 5 Kobras deployed once as a defence on Geidi Prime while the rest of my forces were elsewhere. They all missed the three Inkvines and three flame tanks that came their way. I had to bring in a few deviators and laser tanks from nearby to save them.

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 On Giedi Prime I had 10 kobras in base and only two were destroyed in mission. I sent few kobras and some laser to Harkonnen base and deployed kobras didn`t work so I left one deployed and it destroyed two buildings while lasers were shooting to units.Kobra is indeed better undeployed when move against group of enemy units cos while it deploys units are already shooting.

Dante Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I think the reload rate is slightly too slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Kobra's make excellent siege and defense...if properly supported. One good way to attack with Kobras is to wait till they are lvl 3 and FAST...do this by having them defend. Then attack with the elite Kobras and replace the former defenders with fresh Kobras that will then level up. That way they will kinda keep up with your other troops.

Timenn Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 But if you replace them, you don't get the advantage of the experience bonusses. Unless you use the veteran ones in attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 That's what I meant. Â :) Use the elite Kobras that were once defending till they became elite to attack and replace the elites that are now attacking with new Kobras for defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Yes, the Kobra does alot more of damage then. When it's veteran. So destroying buildings goes very quick. But when you don't use them you can place them behind the unexperienced defense-Kobra's, for backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Veterans have longer range too, so you can deploy some behind your other Kobras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 undeployed kobra's have an weaker bullet MUCH weaker, an elite kobra undeployed needs 2 shots before killing an chemical trooper :Owhen its deployed it only needs 1 to kill more then just 1 chemicaltrooper.

Timenn Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Kobra's don't get any longer range:http://www.dune2k.com/forum/YaBB.pl?board=emperor-generalstrategy;action=display;num=1018807805 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
