how to make evil uses of a kobra

[Dante]

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.

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.

I think the reload rate is slightly too slow.

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.

But if you replace them, you don't get the advantage of the experience bonusses. Unless you use the veteran ones in attack

[Primal]

That's what I meant.  :) 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.

[Timenn]

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

[gunner154]

Veterans have longer range too, so you can deploy some behind your other Kobras.

undeployed kobra's have an weaker bullet MUCH weaker, an elite kobra undeployed needs 2 shots before killing an chemical trooper :O

when its deployed it only needs 1 to kill more then just 1 chemicaltrooper.

Kobra's don't get any longer range:

If it has 3 bonuses, it'll will never takes two shot to kill any infantry no matter deployed or undeployed.
