gunner154 Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner154 Posted December 22, 2001 Author Share Posted December 22, 2001 What is this Desert Mongoose and Sand Flea all about?How can I get better rankings? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrex Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 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* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 EITS are good, they just cost too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 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. :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 EITS is the abreveation for Eye In The Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner154 Posted January 2, 2002 Author Share Posted January 2, 2002 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 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 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 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 No, they have a good price so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 If you can position them perfectly, they can kill a factory in 1 hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Deploy the EITS Above the factory if the Saboteur hit the Factory.... KABOOOOM! Bye bye "Building lost" But not mine hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I mean, at what spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted February 22, 2002 Author Share Posted February 22, 2002 when done with caution, the saboteur can enter a con yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Many buildings die in 1 shot from a perfect strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
