Duncan Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 i think the mino is more powerfull them the devastator because is speed can hit a run dont he ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I'm very new at this game, but I think the Minotaurus is pretty slow as well (although not as slow as the Devastator). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligic_Tha_Master Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 They are both really slow, altough Mino is faster.Because of that, Minos can destroy Devastators beforethey can hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 No, it's the fact that a mino's range can get it to kill a dev before a dev can get near enough for long enough to kill it. Three sonics, however, can kill any number of devs approaching in groups of 1 or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 3, 2002 Author Share Posted January 3, 2002 minos are the terror of devastators  ::) ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2 Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 am i the only one who thinks that the devestator can kill a mino anyday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 3, 2002 Author Share Posted January 3, 2002 i thought too but i saw once 1 mino vs two devastators and the mino kill one and almost kill the second ::) ::)after that i star to use  devastators to cirugical atacks and served was target to the enemy units when the others are ataccking the  deva the rest of the squad are kiling them :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Lone devs are sitting ducks. Back them up, however, and they become a powerful linchpin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 True... Dev's are also bit of the "Superior Building Destroyers" Although i rather prefer the tank in Dune2, Even he is faster then the Dev in this game :D. Anyways the Best tactic is using M-Carryall, to transport the dev's quickly as possible to the minotaurs and now look who is getting his head splitted with an Axe  ::) Dev's are just the best mech's in the game ( Although i rather prefer the Dev's from dune2... Ohhh i already say that :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Mino Vs Devastator: Head on; the dev would smash the mino. The mino would only get a couple shots off before meeting plasma doom.Mino Vs Devastator: Moving; Mino easily out maneuvers the dev and could pick it to pieces.Overall winner: Depends on your tactics. It takes micro-management to be able to knock out a dev with a mino, but leave a dev plodding along its merry way, and a mino clueless, and the results is again the dev.

Timenn Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Yes, Devastators... When you put them for your enemy's defense, they can do lots of damage:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTACK him from an other side. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 It looks like the Atreides and Harkonnen have counterparts, I mean the Rocket tank looks like the  :-X Mino.  The Mongoose a little like the assault except it can shoot air units. and Orni's and gunships, Maybe the Harkonnen is the evilllll side of Atreides :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 The best thing to do with Devastators (if you have the proper fundage): MASS PRODUCTION!!! Nothing can stop 15-20 Devastators without taking severe damage. The moment they lumber into a base, well, there wont be a base for long.

nemafakei Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 "Nothing can stop 15-20 Devastators without taking severe damage"That servere damage is worth it to get rid of such a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 When the Devastators has arrived on foot they have already been visited by some worms :)And otherwise you must build 15-20 Adv Carryalls, also quite expensive and it takes long to build them,And transporting one by one is also dangerous, cause you just attack when a new Devastator has reached the ground 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbaronatreides Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Marching across open desrt is pretty difficult without attracting worms. But 3 devastators can stop a worm in 2 slavos i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 27, 2002 Author Share Posted January 27, 2002 walking in the desert with 3 deva and more guys is dangerous if you put a army of deva the worms have a great free lunch  8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I heard a flame tank can kill a worm in one shot? Is that true, I mean it happend to me once, I thought mine flame tanks were a goner but suddenonly one shooted. Killing the worm in one shot  :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 A sonic tank can. I've done it - the tank was running, but too slowly - so I turned and shot it and the worm disappeared into the sand, not to be seen again. And it was on full health before I shot it.

Duncan Posted January 29, 2002 Author Share Posted January 29, 2002 cool  ::)sonic to  the worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Corrino Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 One phrase describes a massive wall of devastaters: slow but unstoppable. Â Both mechs are awesome, but I like the sonic more than them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Well The Deva's are not unbeatable  :P unless they have some Veterancy so they can fire farther, But the Shai Hulud Sure loves em Deva's to eat  >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 a way to stop a full scale atack of deva if you are atreides use the hawk strike in them when they are runing you hunt them down with ordos use lighting charge let them kill wich others 8) 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
