SpiceSmoker Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Eh. I am playing a mission where i have to protect freemen refugees travelling across the screen from tleilaxu. When I try to attack harkonen turrets kick my ass. I have tried to shut down their base by putting some minotaurs on elevated positions near it together with elite sardukar. I got my ass kicked by the flying defense platform. If i knew how to get rid of that fucking platform i would successfully shut off the reinforcements or at least a good portion of them. Fedaykin(spelling???) and elite sardukar assault is successful in eleminating all the forces that come out of the base but the turrets fuck me up.

SpiceSmoker Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 nevermind, i guess speed of minos really matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Use air drones, mongooses, elite sardaukar to destroy the platform. Then destroy the turrets with minotaurus's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceSmoker Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 I swear the frigging air defense platform was shooting a my groung units. The guide says the opposite: it strictly fires only on air units. Is it something that the patch changed. I use 1.08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I think u should Listen to ligic. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yes... APDS can fire on ground. WW mistakes again >:(!And as ligic says, mongooses eltite sardaukar and air drones against the APDSAnd for the turrets, you can use Sardaukar. Gun Turrets are wortheless against them and Sardaukar have a larger range then flame turrets :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 the best way to deal with ADPs is using AA Mines. but as Atreides, Air drones will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Hold up westwood didnt make a mistake it says in the manuale"...it is used as an anti-air unit, but it dose have the ability to targate ground units"it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I checked it and you're right!Sorry WW :-[ :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Actually yes, the manual says that ADPs can target ground units. However the GUIDE says that ADPs can only fire at air units (just like the atreides Air Drone), and that troopers shots don't track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Ok, I have the Dutch manual, but in translation it says: The ADP is uses to defend the base, The (around ???) turning cannon (rifle ???) is used most times to fire at airborne, but ground-units can be a target also, the ADP is slow and vulnerable for AA-fire...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I think the ADP is good if you camp it on the Spice fields. But still the Unit is too weak to make a great defense or offense unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligic_Tha_Master Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 The Atreides have the Mino-AD-Fed-NIAB combo.Could the Harkonnen have Deva--ADP-Fed-NIAB combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 More Assualt tanks instead of Deva's, or Buzzsaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezertfish Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 The Atreides have the Mino-AD-Fed-NIAB combo.Could the Harkonnen have Deva--ADP-Fed-NIAB combo?excuse me-Minotaurus, Air Drone, Fedaykin, NIAB is a combo?it was my impression that NIABs were good for teleporting, and minos for range armor, firepowerWhere do air drones come in?what about mongooses?fedaykin are best with only other fremen because of the element of suprise and earplugsso what am I missing?
