Damn, Atreides are good! ;D

[House_Corrino]

Ya.

[Terror]

no... it's kinda weird i know.... but in dune2 atreides and ordos had both orni's.... in dune2000 only atreides had the orni air strike..... and in emperor only atreides and harkonnen have air like orni's....

[House_Corrino]

It seemed like the AI only used ornies with the Atriedes, even though they were available to the Ords.

[Terror]

hmm.. when i fought ordos in mission 7 with either atreides or harkonnen i always had to fight orni's

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Whats so special about an Aircraft anyways?

Next the Ordos is gonna fly a "Red baron"

Im i right Edric :P

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

It`s easier destroying buildings with air units especially when it`s a lot of enemy vehicles in base

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Aircraft rushes are always usefull. Its also much better then attacking with Ground forces. Harkonnen rules with the Gunship As always  ;D Although most of their units are underpowerd. Close range, Not much armor. less speed.

They really need to Boost up the Harkies.

*Ponders if the Designer's are Harkonnen/Ordos Haters.*

[Terror]

hmmm.... i don't agree with the harkonnen being underpowered thingy

[Sardauker-Kirov]

I supose you never played as Ordos or Harkonnen?

Ordos Laser tank can easily out range the Harkonnen units and is more faster, Harkonnen are very strong. But still they are slow and has short range.

They need more range and speed just like a real Harkonnen should be. After all they are a  Military House.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Harks should repair themselves like ordos do

[Terror]

yeah they should get repair.... but harkonnen are not underpowered.... assault tanks combined with other units (missile tanks/flametanks/inkvines/buzzsaws) and any other unit you may require are incredibly powerfull and very hard to stop...

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Depends on how Many Units and "type" of units they have.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, assault tank attack is not as good against deployed cobras but mixed with inkvines they do a good work. Acha, with buzzsaws they do funny damages, infantry have nothing to say

[Terror]

*Terror's jaw drops* assault tanks not good vs. deployed cobra's?.... the assault tank has no problem in defeating them....

*They die too quickly*

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

*Gunseng looks who is there*

A lot of Assaults - YES

But imagine that you have 8 cobras against you (like me in some mission) and you send only vehicles who fight when they r close. They must be mixed with units who shot from distance like inkvine.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

I killed alot of Cobra's with the Nice Assault tanks. Damn Assault tanks are good, Unless if they fight against the Las tanks  :'(

[House_Corrino]

True.  4 assault tanks can probably take 8 deployed kobras easy.  Their only weakness is range.

[jacobdouds]

We do need a way to enable the harkonnen repair paid. The Harks need this despertly. Their weaponary is primitive but very effective and expensive.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Uchmmm...primitive

It`s funny but sometimes is easier kill lasers with assaults than cobras. I said SOMETIMES, don`t shout

[Terror]

if you can get the laser tanks in a corner yeah.... then it's butchering time!!!

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

NO!!!!! It is WAY too easier to kill laser tanks with cobras! They have their rotating cannon, and the assault tank has to rotate itself.

(though depending on the situation...)

[Terror]

ah yeah...... well.... assault tanks can turn rather quickly

[jacobdouds]

It's like a big game of paper scissors rock. There will always be a unit that can bet the unit you are testing.

I found Assault tanks a very powerful for their tech level. But for some reason my opinion on them changes more regurally than any other unit.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Best is the mass attack with them. They are very good against Atreides units.

[jacobdouds]

The Atreides Hawk Strike has it's uses but is normally very useless. But if an enemy attack force is coming, a hawk strike can slow them down enough to give you more time to prepare.
