Minotaurus versus Devastator: who'd win?

[mushman29]

??? In a straight fight, which would win: Minotaurus or Devastator? I've heard loads of diff. arguments and want a final answer from someone- though I think the minotaurus would win easily!

[nemafakei]

In a 1v1 fight at point blank range, the dev would win.

But the Mino is a much more versatile unit.

[Terror]

yeah....   devastator rules mino in a 1 on 1 fight.... but when fighting infantry or just "walking" to the enemy base minotour is better.... i like both units though

[Timenn]

When the Minotaurus is guarding and the player don't pay attention to it, the Devastator wins. But when you use the hit 'n run tactics the Mino(not always...) will win. But this take much of your valuable time cause you have to watch it almost every second...

[jacobdouds]

he advantage of the missile launcher gives the devastator the lead, but I am not quite sure.

[ken124578]

i wonder how the devastater looked in the previeus dunes. ::)

[Terror]

it was more like a tank... it had 2 barrels and was a bit faster... try the previous dune games..... they're worth playin

[alphabeta4000]

devastator cause the mino just out ranges the devastator and unless the dev is blocked by obstacles and the mino is on high ground chances are the dev would win.

[House_Corrino]

The mino has more range, but the dev would win.

[ken124578]

i tried the devastater drop in an skirmision on hard, it was easy to whipe out an entire base with 5 devastaters. (infantrie included)

[Terror]

heheh yeah.... i usually do it with less..... 3 or so :-)

[Timenn]

And even in multiplayer there are people without AA...

[ken124578]

i wil vist people without aa with my engineer/apc/advanced carry al , combination.

[Timenn]

Or a gunship-rush ;D

[ken124578]

engineer rush is more annoying for the enemy.

then i have another build ordor when i capture buildings in his base.

first i make an pop up turret then gas turret then pop op turret again untill he doesn't have an base left te protect.

(but i do need an very good econemy have to build non stop turrets)

[Aribites]

yeh, I find that annoying

[Terror]

ah.... i poo on engineers... and engineers die.... dunno why.... but they just do  ::)

[Dezertfish]

In a one on one fight the devastors would win, but if it was, say, 10 on 10, the Minos would win because of longer range and the devastators lack of speed.  Also if there were mongeese as well...

[gunner154]

i say it all depends.

[ken124578]

hmmm...

[alphabeta4000]

entirely

[jacobdouds]

it sais in the manual that the devestator will beat any other unit in one on one  combat.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Thats why its called the Devastator. He is just "Devastating" for the oponent's

[bob_fox]

If the commander of the Mino is any good, it would obviously win. He'd just move the Mino away, let it fire, move it further, let it fire again, and so on.

But, of course, with both units firing at each other at close range, the Dev would win, no problem - it would just take two or three shots (or something like that).

Atreides Soldier: Deva Sign on rock!

Neko`Guido:What does that mean ??????! *Looks at the worm*

Neko`Guido: Why dont the Harks use Samurai mecha's  ;D
