Atreides units against Harkonnens

[dOOmpOwEr]

gunner, missile tanks cannot destroy a mino in one hit. If it did it would have to have 2 cheverons.

Man u blind or something???

Hark missile tanks kill a non-veteran mino in just one shot. And that's a fact.

[Black_Emperor]

damn straight...along with almost any other vehicles in one volly of rockets

Man...are u blind or something???

A missile tank kills an not-veteran mino in just one shot.

so in a 1v1 the mino always loses, since a non veteran mino is not able to destroy a missile tank in one salvo.

And that's a fact.

???

Atreide's just suck at pure assault. Mongoose's will be shredded to pieces by the tanks. Also do note the Buzzsaw can beat a Mongoose  1 vs 1 when the buzzsaw uses their full guns. And Since Harkie's are more faster then the mecs. The Missile tanks can retreat and attack, retreat attack etc etc.

[Black_Emperor]

thats the sucky thing about a missle tank, takes about 2 mins to reload

[Sardauker-Kirov]

True. But their firepower is statisfying.

[gunner154]

Missile Tanks will retrain their firing tubes when they're standstill.

When Missile Tanks fired a salvo at a mongoose (killing it) and then runs (on the move), for like 5 minutes and then you ask them to attack a Sand Bike, the Sandbike will get to pump some shots in before being taken out by the salvo.

Why? It is because Missile Tanks only reload when they're not doing anything (as long as they sit where they are and don't move, reloading is about 10 seconds in singleplayer {No lag} )

[jacobdouds]

Why does the Missile tank only reload when still?

[gunner154]

I think it's a one-man crew so retraining firing tubes would mean that it has to stop and take time to reload  ??? ??? ???

I think...

[IxianMace]

No, actually I don't think Missile Tanks have to sit still to reload. They automatically reload after firing their missiles, regardless of whether or not they're actually moving. That's why I always use a fast unit as bait for a Minotaurus, and when the Minotaurus stands there reloading, I hit it with the Missile Tank and come back so the Missile Tank doesn't get wiped out.  ;D

[Black_Emperor]

isnt it better to send tons of Missle Tanks so that you dont have to reload and the same time you can take out an army?

[gunner154]

I remember my missile tank attacking some minos and a mongoose, we lost, but I had some units fleeing. And like 4 missile tanks were fleeing with some assault Tanks.

When I was suddenly ambushed by a couple of Kobras, I tried to fire, but had to wait to reload, when they were still it took them about 10 seconds and another salvo went off.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

The problem is, When the units stand still the AI Always chooses the infantry or some other weak unit that doesnt do much damage.

[playerap]

yes but what about that mongoose vs buzz no way buddy inpossible

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Yes way possible. I killed a mongoose with my buzzer when he got first strike. 3 Dust scouts/bikes can kill a mongoose.  ( I doubt that the Bike will survive though. )

[playerap]

ur crazy dude

[Sardauker-Kirov]

LoL...... If you dont know that, You dont play BFD really much i notice.

3 Dustscouts is enough to take out a Las tanks or Mongoose. It doesnt destroy a AS tank.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

One buzz can kill mangoose. Mangoose is slow and fast units can  ;) them out...if behind mangoose isn`t preety mino

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Atreides Die too easily. What a weaklings :)

The mongoose weapon range rocks though. I wish the Assault tank had their range. Or atleast a Height bonus.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Well, I destroyed 7 mangooses with 2 assault tanks...and then came mino...and 2 assault tanks became history...I hate Atreides...

[Sardauker-Kirov]

7 Mongooses.... Did they even fired at you?  :-/

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Of course they fired...three times...and then started shot to my gunship who was shoting to mino and then assaults killed mangooses.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Weird. Some of my assaults always got killed by those annoying Mongooses.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I send gunships, mangooses were busy and didn`t kill assaults. But those assaults had red thingy over them, so they were almost dead.

[Timenn]

Mongooses have the best firepower. But assault is designed to be the best on frontal assault.

Hey it's in the name... ;D ;D ;D ;D
