Black_Emperor Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 what can the Contaminators do? they have more armor, but not enough to get to some infantry before they are killed how about the sabataur? they cant do any stealth anymore and engineers are more effective than they are.and what about the leeches? they have some uses to an extent, but not useful enough that they are needed to win the war
Serquej Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 I hate those stupid units without any real porouse.I just don't use them and I'm doing fine without them. 8)
Select_Buster Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Leeches are only good to make hit and run moves against enemy harvesters. the rest is useless, ohh no I see another pourpose - if u got them the enemy dont so u dont encounter them and thats a great relief. :)))
Black_Emperor Posted March 23, 2002 Author Posted March 23, 2002 wrong, you only use units if you KNOW they are good
Terror Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 saboteurs damage units... engineers can't do anything against them.. saboteurs are not that bad
Chaos_Storm Posted March 24, 2002 Posted March 24, 2002 If there are no anti-infantry weapons nearby, Saboteurs are brilliant at taking down infantry and Wind Traps. Against other buildings, it may be better to capture them but if you really want to blow them up quick, then Saboteurs are still cheaper than Infiltrators (though I prefer the latter due to stealth and strength). Other than that, they can be used for psy-ops - deterrants or decoys. Saboteurs are the ultimate "Don't steamroll or you'll pay!" unit (as they damage any vehicle running them over), Flamethrower Infantry being a weaker alternative.
Timenn Posted March 25, 2002 Posted March 25, 2002 Engineers are better, they can 'destroy' a building with one engineer. btw your mongoose pic doesnt work... ;)
Black_Emperor Posted March 25, 2002 Author Posted March 25, 2002 sabotaurs dont do enough damage to certain buildings
Terror Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 well... then you shouldn't use them vs. buildings but vs. units only :-)
Black_Emperor Posted March 27, 2002 Author Posted March 27, 2002 then they should have just called them Kamakazi instead
Terror Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 ah well.... who cares.... though their function has changed a bit from dune2/dune2000 it still has it's uses
Black_Emperor Posted March 29, 2002 Author Posted March 29, 2002 nope, but im pretty sure that if one of them die from a strong shot, the others explode with him
Chaos_Storm Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 A saboteur rush must be spaced out to succeed, possibly with a good decoy at the front. Saboteurs are highly cost effective against enemy groups with no anti-infantry arsenal at all. With anti-infantry firepower though...
Black_Emperor Posted April 1, 2002 Author Posted April 1, 2002 same with infiltrators...i mean, they are good and all but they explode if they are close to each other and one of them die
Black_Emperor Posted April 4, 2002 Author Posted April 4, 2002 so anyways...kill all tlaxaiu contaminators!
