Black_Emperor Posted March 20, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select_Buster Posted March 22, 2002 Share 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. :))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exatreide Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 sabs are good if you use them in a apc rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted March 24, 2002 Share 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 Share Posted March 25, 2002 Engineers are better, they can 'destroy' a building with one engineer. btw your mongoose pic doesnt work... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezertfish Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 ever done a "saboteur rush" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Emperor Posted March 29, 2002 Author Share Posted March 29, 2002 nope, but im pretty sure that if one of them die from a strong shot, the others explode with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Storm Posted March 29, 2002 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Emperor Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
