Terror Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 well... as long as the mino's are within the deva's range the deva would also win from 2 and perhaps even 3 mino's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Ok. we have established that the dev wins one on one at low range. We have now moved on to consider other factors in selecting which is a better overall unit. OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech13 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 you must also consider spice costit is obvious that the dev will win but...another mino can be produced easy. plus...the atreides have repair vehicles...i know we are talking about 1 on 1 but the rep vehic cant fight...plus...another off topic thing... a group of 6 sonic tanks can destroy an equal force of devs. in fact the sonic can beat a dev 1 on 1... but i dont want to start a new debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eciuj Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 i think the mino. is a better overall unit, u got to hate inkivines out of range with dev. :D But the dev. is a very good "Drop in the back of base unit." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Mino: you can build it even u havent starport, is faster.But has less health and shot slower.Deva: has more health, can kill in one shot, has self-destruction optionBut you must have starport, its slow and need AC.

Caid Ivik Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Minotaurus is much more universal than Devastator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Devas can be use with AC and as defence. Minos can do rush, that devas can`t do. Deva can`t be destroyed by one shot. But it can be destroyed by faster units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Emperor Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 but see, air dropping 2 devs in a stratigic area of an enemy base is better than those mini rushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Airdropping minos is almost as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 unless you meet a lot of anti vehicle forces like assaults.. then i would realy prefer the deva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushman29 Posted April 25, 2002 Author Share Posted April 25, 2002 This is a straight fight between a Devastator and a Minotaurus i'm talking about. If the Mino was in range of the Dev it would die... Devs will win against 3 or 4 minos if the Dev can reach them. However, Minos can win if it's a hit-and-run they're going for. I still think, though, that the Dev would win in a fair fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Deva is best against vehicles, mino better against infantry. But deva is better in this that mino can be destroyed in one shot by e. g. missile and deva can`t be destroyed in one even by most powerful unit.

Caid Ivik Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Devastator is very slow, so Deviators can fire very accurately. After ONE shot is Devastator yours and you can destroy it then easily. One klick on "D" key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Emperor Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 the subjects about Minis and devestators, not devestators and deviators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 I mean that Devastator too has its Achilles' foot, and that's Deviator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 True, deviator works with every vehicle, but I was talking that Devastator can`t be DESTROYED in one shot. Deviator not destroying units. It has more health than mino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caid Ivik Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Practically, it's same being quickly captured and selfdectructed and being destroyed by one shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Please be with the topic. This is still about mino vs deva... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 A was talking about deva health, actually. Okay, Timenn.Deva can cope with air units while mino can`t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Mushman, I think we all agree on that (even after half a dozen pages). I was hoping that the discussion should progress further than just Dev v Mino at point-blank range etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 ok... since it's legal now to include other units..... i agree with the thing that the deva is very vulnerable vs. deviator though so is the mino... except that it can't self destruct.. it still can kill masses of nearby infantry.... i have that problem myself sometimes.... and believe me...one mino can wreak havoc in an infantry army wich doesn't expect such an anti infantry unit...

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Deva can do havoc in vehicles units. But both deviated can do many damages to enemy. Like deviated deva shooting to building :D. And its bad (and good) with mino that if infantry is in group it can kill more than one, when it fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Hell, minos do collateral damage to groups of tanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 But destroys tanks not as fast as deva, it must have more time to reload. And the other side, mino faster destroying infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 It is okay against mongooses and some other weak harkonnen/atreidies/ordos light/medium verhicle. But against Heavy armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
