EITS Rush

[gunner154]

Ever heard of EITS Rush? It's cool. Try it. Difficult to use when fighting against Harkonnen. Good against Atreides in Early Game only! Awesome against other Ordos bases. Back them up with AA Mines. Take those ADPs and Air Drones out. 8) 8)

;D

That must be the worst strategy ever!  :P

Well except Contaminator rushes perhaps...  ;D  :O ;D  :O

::)

[gunner154]

Sorry.

But I've just registered for this so I'm testing out how the comments and stuff work. My apologies.  :-/

What is this Desert Mongoose and Sand Flea all about?

How can I get better rankings? ???

[Phyrex]

Your "rank" depands on the number of posts you've made...

You will be a Mongoose instead of a Flea with at least 25 posts... (Dunno all the other rankings.)

Anyway, I was just kidding.

My personal experience with EITS's are crap but then again I might be using them wrongly...

The only use for EITS is catching bullets that otherwise would destroy your carryall. (Why are they named Carryall anyway? They carry only a Harvester!  ;D)

[Phyrex]

Oh and by the way,

That "catching bullets" thing was a joke in case you wanted to reply on the "but then again I might be using them wrongly... " part.

*lol*

EITS are good, they just cost too much.

[dex]

what is an eit

[Edric O]

EITS's are cool and I have some great strategies that make use of them, but unfortunatelly they're all just for fun, because an EITS can NEVER be cost-effective. The casualties are always cheaper than the EITS itself. :'( :'( :'(

EITS is the abreveation for Eye In The Sky.

[nemafakei]

Ahhh... but edric, think not of cost in money, you ordos mercenary - if you have a cash surplus and take out unreplaceble structures, you can win the battle - and remember in emp, chess, and others the end justifies the means. Or you can use EITS for a combo with ground assault - take out the power and then do away with the rocket/gun/popup turrets.

[dex]

thanks s2

[gunner154]

you are right Nema Fakei, EITS are good. But however if you shoot them, they'll slow down, so quickly detonate it. if u do this u may accidentally detonate all your EITSs at the wrong time. 4 ADPs can stop an EITS Rush, so i always back my killers with AA Mines. Harks just resist EITS too well!

I used the tactic to kill an Atreides player. I rushed in like 7 EITS in the early game and boom. he lost his CYARD and factory coz they were close. the shrapnel nearly killed the buildings, and the saboteurs helped me finish the job easily.

[Chaos_Storm]

EITS are a quick way to finish off an assault. If you knock out enemy Anti Air turrets and units then a group of EITS can quickly destroy a Con Yard,  Factory and anything else you want. Some HK bases only have Gun Turrets and other Anti Air units around the perimeter of their base. Once these are removed, EITS will ripe out the heart of the base. They are far too expensive to send in without preparation.

A much less practical use is eliminating large masses of infantry as they do carpet a large area with shrapnel deadly to infantry (useless against vehicles though). Again, if you want to use EITS in this fashion (i.e. you are very rich) make sure they can have a safe journey to their destination.

If only EITS were cheaper...

[Timenn]

No, they have a good price so.

[House_Corrino]

If you can position them perfectly, they can kill a factory in 1 hit.

[Timenn]

how?

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Deploy the EITS Above the factory if the Saboteur hit the Factory.... KABOOOOM! Bye bye "Building lost" But not mine hehe

[Timenn]

I mean, at what spot?

[jacobdouds]

You must detonate them directly over the building. To do this you must tell it to fly over the building, and push the D button just as it goes over the middle.

[House_Corrino]

When they're moving and the shadow is right above the building, press D.  There's no other way to get a perfect strike.  It would be nice if you could target them and they did that automatically.

[gunner154]

when done with caution, the saboteur can enter a con yard

[Timenn]

Yes already knew that, flying over the building and detonate, but I meant at what spot exactly. It is already answered, thanx Corrino. ;)

When they're moving and the shadow is right above the building, press D.

[House_Corrino]

Many buildings die in 1 shot from a perfect strike.

[gunner154]

but not the construction yard. u need about 3 Eyes to do that.
