new topic about how to stop mass leech attacks

[Devastator_Mech]

Its not it can't self-repair, but it does more damage than it could recover in time.

[IxianMace]

The salvo wouldn't be wasted as long as it killed the Leech. It's better to kill the Leech before it can infect the vehicle, rather than wait and let the vehicle get infected, take damage, and not be able to be repaired until it gets 2 chevrons.

units that are infected cannot selfrepair

No I meant that the Missile Tank would get damaged while the larvae is sucking on it. I know that infected units can't self repair. Of course you wouldn't leave the leech larvae on the Missile Tank, you'd have to shoot it off (which would result in even more damage to the fragile Missile Tank) or get an engineer to remove it.

[Devastator_Mech]

While any infantry is infront, missiles won't be infected.

[IxianMace]

As I was saying before, the Missile Tank will kill the Leech with a full salvo before the Leech can even open its mouth to spit. ::)

[Devastator_Mech]

yes yes i know, what about a mongoose or an assault or a laser is at the back? would you still use missile to kill leeches?

[IxianMace]

I'd still kill the Leech with the Missile Tank, then I'd immediately retreat and reload if the Mongoose or Assault Tank was coming. When the Missile Tank reloads, I'll shoot the Mongoose/Assault Tank and kill it as well. If a Laser Tank is at the back, I'll just get a Sarduakar Elite and shoot it and kill it with 1 shot (I don't care if I lose the Sarduakar Elite, it's much cheaper than the Laser Tank), or I'd get Trooper and/or infantry to take care of it. In all cases, I could just retreat the Missile Tank after it kills the Leech and then use infantry.

[Devastator_Mech]

a missile delays after the salvo......

[IxianMace]

Ok, your point being? ::)

[Devastator_Mech]

It'll take quiet sometime to retreat...... and that delay could lead to the dead of the missile......

way you saying to pepole the portant thinks of emperor save theam to your self

No as a matter of fact, the Missile Tank moves slightly faster than most other Harkonnen vehicles, save the Buzzsaw. It is lightly armoured yes, but a Mongoose or Assault Tank won't catch and destroy it in time to prevent it from reloading and then firing again, which will mean the death of the Mongoose/Assault Tank. As I was saying before, if the Laser Tank tries to come in and kill the Missile Tank, it will expose itself to infantry, which will make short work of it. The infantry/troopers/Sard Elites will also make short work of Mongoose and Assault Tanks, the Missile Tank isn't really needed in this case, it's just there as a fire support element and for convenience and quick kills.

Translation: Why are you saying to people the important things of Emperor? Save them to yourself.

That would defeat the purpose of the entire section of Emperor strategy. ::)

[Devastator_Mech]

Thx

Ok, what this strat. vault for if i'll juz save everything to myself?

[GhostHunter]

Infantry can destroy leeches, that simple, just use infantry to cover your units

[Devastator_Mech]

Exactly, infantry works best, and everyone is just trying to use vunerlable vehicles.

[Timenn]

Except for the Buzzsaw :)

[Devastator_Mech]

Yes, besides that. But not every house has that unit.

[Timenn]

Yes, and what then?

Infantery is too slow for engaging Leeches. And who cares if some Dust Scouts for example got Leeched. I'll shoot them of with other Dusties. And maybe some of them die. It's an irrelevant loss

It's good to know that there are some people that think carefully before they post. ;) :)

[Timenn]

Well, I'm Ordos. The loss of a single is irrelevant. The needs of the many is the only directive

[Devastator_Mech]

I'll just conclude buzzsaws and most infantries will effectively stop the rush. Thats it, nothing could be better.

[Timenn]

Ok, I just said that infantery is too slow for chasing Leeches. What kind of strategy do you have for that. And don't say Buzzsaws

[ken124578]

he makes and mod that makes infantry as fast as an carry al (which is the fastest units in the game, not the adv. carry al ;) )

[ethan]

no, the guild tank foldspace thing is

[Devastator_Mech]

Once the leeches has been hit, juz lik the Ordos, it'll slow down.
