salikadali Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Drop tactics- the use of Advanced carryalls to deploy units Here are some of my strategies for drop tactics: Atriedes- build 2-5 Advanced Carryalls(the more the better, but don't bankrupt yourself) then drop five minos(because they are good against buildings) in opponent's base- take out refineries, then con yard, and factories and whatever else you can, very effective. Hark- same but with devestators(detonate devs when life gets low)Ordos- kobras, Ordos are fast, and have somewhat different tactics, but still effectiveAlso- don't forget about engineers in apcs, done at the same time as the other drops to add to confusion, or by themselves, sneaky and effectiveAnd another thing- after you deploy the units, you can use the Adv Carryalls to pick up enemy units(harvs, or tanks)-These tactics could win the game, but watch out for Anti Air.

Acriku Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Any experienced player would set up a good AA defense, and also Apc's work well during an attack (amidst the action) to just slip in there, get out them engineers, take out key buildings, then send in more forces in waves and the opponent wouldn't survive.

House_Corrino Posted August 14, 2001 Share Posted August 14, 2001 Here's what I always use advanced carryalls for: picking up vulnerable enemy units (such as harvesters) and then moving in my air drones in to shred them (preferably) or move them back to my base where my sonics, minotauruses, and rocket turrets can easily destroy them.

nemafakei Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Only if you're quick.I prefer to shoot the enemy units that are being ferried around by enemy Adv Carryalls out of the sky with AA drones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
