assault tank drop like flys

[Timenn]

Armor ok... But the range is speed is good so

[Terror]

hah.... i think their armor is just fine... the damage is also ok... range is pretty bad.... speed is ok... but overall worth the money..... you just have to handle the unit well..... cuz sure..... it will die fast by some troopers..... but so will mongooses.... so you will have to counter those with other units....

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Even the Deva from Dune 2, and 2000 is more usefull.

Atleast that thing can fire from miles away and has the best armor.

[House_Corrino]

Devastater:

Armor: great

Speed: krap!

Firepower: good, but plasma shot is way too weak

All around: It needs more speed, but it makes it up with power

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

I agree with Sardauker-Kirov.

[House_Corrino]

The devs from 2k are faster.  They both have about the same armor level, it's just that there are better counters for it in emperor.

[Terror]

plasma shot too weak??? i think it's incredible.... 1 shot and 1 missile barrage or 2 shots and you got urself a dead mino... i luv it

[House_Corrino]

Ya, but the plasma shot's weaker than the missile burst against vehicals.  Unrealistic...

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

Yep.

[House_Corrino]

Plasma would melt a vehical way faster than a rocket could blow one up.  Still, the dev's power is only surpassed by the sonic.

[Asdrubaal]

Plasma could easily not even harm a vehicle

[jacobdouds]

Plasma is only a chemical in the blood. So how does it hurt vehicles?

[House_Corrino]

Plasma is also a super-heated, ionic form of matter.  The sun and other stars are made of plasma.  If plasma guns don't vaporize armor, I don't know what non-nuclear weapon would.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Point for House_Corrino!

[Terror]

but the devastator is more versatile than the sonic... so i think devastator is better though sonic is great too

[nemafakei]

"but the devastator is more versatile than the sonic... "

It's slow, and not very maneuverable. It also costs more. The sonic is a powerful, moderately fast, good all-round unit. How is the Devastator more versatile?

[Ligic_Tha_Master]

God knows, and obviously Terror...

[House_Corrino]

It's better against buildings and has more armor, but that's about it.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Sonic tanks kills faster than devastator and a lot of them r more dangerous for base defenders `cos they are faster and more difficult to destroy

[Guest Atr novice]

Assault tanks are crap.  Minotaurs, kindjals, Kobras, Las Tanks, Dust Scouts (the list go could on 4ever) can easily take them down.  They are lightly armoured slow, and deal pitiful damage.

assault tanks are very strong, one assault tank takes out a mino, because they have a high firing rate, while the mino has to reload, and it takes 4 salvos of a single mino to take out an assault tank..!

but the devastator is more versatile than the sonic... so i think devastator is better though sonic is great too

one sonic takes out a dev, especially when they are ranked with one or more stripes. Conclusion, sonic tank takes out all ground units..! only disadvantage is lack of accuracy against fast moving targets, best is to fire at frontal moving units, and better is to fire in mass-ranked attacks, in wich they destroy several units at one blow. Here speaks the master of strategy.

[Guest Master]

Well hello, wake up dudes! Assault tankz rule! When i played harkonnen i used it agaist minos. 2 assault tankz kill 3 minos in notime. You just don't know when to use them. Of course i don't sent them against lazer tanks and mongoose...

That is so true... ;D

[Guest master]

[glow=red,2,0] ::) ::) I must save it from offtopic!! Assault are worse, they are big, unmanouvarable, weak and worse firepower. They have some speed, otherwise... :P :P :P[/glow]

Man have u ever played Emperor? U suck.. >:(

[Terror]

ah terror back... why i find devastators more versatile? they do great damage.... can fire both vs. land and air units.... and by far the strongest unit in the game... sure it lacks speed... but if it had speed there would be no reason to build anything but devastators at all..... sonics are quite powerfull.... but they suck in groups and can this way be easily killed by air or cloaked units...

[House_Corrino]

Devastaters need to be more realistic.  They're too slow and their plasma cannons are too weak.
