Carryalls doing there job?

[TLContaminator]

this thread name should be carryalls NOT doing their job

[Devastator_Mech]

Well carryalls always do their job, the heading of the subject should be changed ......

[Timenn]

the name is a question... ::)

Oke, maybe we can discuss about the job-script of the Carryall is ok...

[Devastator_Mech]

The carryall just ferries where the harvesters wants to go, you could try it yourself. Order the harvester to go to a destination, and the carryall will ferry it to anywhere it wants to go.

[TLContaminator]

there was a crate near my harv i wanted to take it with the harv so i orderd him to go there (it wasnt far) and the carryall picked him up and put him near the crate but it was gone

[Devastator_Mech]

There you go everyone, an example above.

But the matter of fact is the carryall just wouldn't let the Harvesters go far before they're going to lift them up and that could be quite annoying sometimes.

[TLContaminator]

it wont let him go to the next step

only when the harv is not orderd to go some were the carryall will let him go

[Devastator_Mech]

no, whenever a harvest goes more than 1 step, it'll left it under immediately regardless of its ordered or not.

[TLContaminator]

you know once or twice my harv took a stealth crate that gives me an idia a mod that the harv carryall and mybe the refinery arent un killable cuz then you can run over inf without dying but make em stealthed

[Devastator_Mech]

Could we not talk about MOD's here? Strategy or comments about it ONLY!

[guusr5644]

another example when some of harkonnen troopers shot my harvie i told him to crush them he almost did till the carry all arrived and picked him up and those soldiers got away >:( this is reallt messy over WOL

[Timenn]

If you want to talk about mods. Go to Dune Editing!

[guusr5644]

amm timenn are you sure you posted in the right tread?

[Rin0c3rus]

Guys if you think your carry-alls drop the harvs right back into danger then select them all by numbers and call them back

Or even you select them all and press "r" that will bring them right back to your mcv until you have cleared your spice field

[Baronvonflames]

or you can press "b" because this sends all harvesters back to base

[Devastator_Mech]

Well you's are right, but you think missile will fly faster or the Harvester could return faster?

[TLContaminator]

that depands on what missile

[Devastator_Mech]

I doesn't depend on what missile, they all travels at the same speed, or maybe 1/10000000 of a difference.

[TLContaminator]

i think some of them do not follow the plane and some of them are less accuret

[Devastator_Mech]

Not as far as my concern, all the missiles could track.

[Baronvonflames]

yes all missiles track but next time that your playing as the ordos, see if an APC's missiles go faster than the AA Troopers because i recall the APCs missile to be faster than the AA troopers.......

[Devastator_Mech]

Maybe faster, but not so much faster, but not by *alot*.

[IxianMace]

Well the speed of the missiles does matter actually, because normal carryalls are one of the fastest units in the game. A slight difference in missile speed could mean the difference between catching a carryall with a harvester while it is retreating back to base, or just having the missiles lag behind the carryall that is outrunning them.

Try this: Position a Missile Tank between an enemy base and a spice field that the enemy is harvesting at. Any carryalls with harvesters that are travelling from the spice field back to base should get shot down, provided that the Missile Tank is facing towards the carryall to begin with. Now try the same thing with AA troopers or Troopers. They will fail to kill the carryall unless the carryall lands close by (i.e. the AA troopers/Troopers are standing close the the spice field), simply because the missiles couldn't catch the carryall quickly enough to damage it.
