Anathema Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Sonics suck against most buildings. Surprisingly, they can take down a devastator in 3 hits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Devastator armor is apparantly weak against sonic weapons - Sonic tanks and fedayikin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostHunter Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 [colot=Red]You can sure as hell not say one is the better then the other, for they are perfectly suited for their House.Harkonnen: Need a good, strong, and reliable weapon to back up their buzzsaws and protect their inkivines.Atreides: Needed a unit that could hit air for mino defense, also needed heat seating missles for laser tanks, and a decently fast unit.Ordos: Needed a fast unit, that gave good fire power, and would make a all around good fighting unit for the force.Thus, equaled.

lowzeewee Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Yes, but the fact is Dunenewt will send the Sonics individually. And i think a well micromanaged mongoose could kill a Sonic 1 v 1.It will take more than one mongoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted November 24, 2002 Author Share Posted November 24, 2002 not really, the mongoose can just walk by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hmmm, yes. The Mongoose, I always underestimat it's speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joppu Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 It is not easy to use Sonic Tanks in Emperor. In Tiberian Sun Sonic Tanks did not hurt Sonic Tanks. It was really easy to make Sonic Tank rush. Maybe ideas that were told here can help me to use Sonic Tanks in Emperor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taqwa11 Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 The only time I use Sonic Tanks is when I can get them cheap from a starport in a long game. If I can get them cheaper than Minos or Missile Tanks, for example, I'll do it because they can take out those units very quickly. But ONLY if I can buy them cheap. Otherwise, they are too expensive and limited in their usefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 It would have made alot different if they had a longer range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House_Draco Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Sonic Tanks are good for defense if you have couple of sniper and mongs with them. But once you clear the way the are great at taking out biuldings. But the can still be done better and creaper with other uints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 Hmm, I found them less effective against buildings then against units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 They are horrorible against buildings. Turrets take damage faster (seemingly), but the sonic tank doesn't outrange them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethan Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 i dont really use sonics that much, but they're real useful at 2 or 3 vetrancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I only used them in singleplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fremen_Mentat Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Use them against devs. They are one of the only vehicles that can kill a dev in a single hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetWerx1 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 i use multiples of them to get rid of masses of sardaukar ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 It would help if the range was longer of the Sonic Tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetWerx1 Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 i luv elite stealthed sonic tanks...do a lot of damage, and then sneak away(if the opponent is stupid enough not to see trail) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dread910 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 look man u need to give detials, sonic tanks can do alot of damge in the right time and the right place.if the enemy use alot of infanrey and some mino it will be good to use sonic tank, but if he use a big army of buzzaw or something like that , the sonic tank wont do alot of damge.u need to know when to use it, but who need sonic tanks when u have mino? .if u want that i will give u picture of some crasy attack of sonic tanks tell me.i suggest u play little more skirmsh and learn the skills of sonic tanks....i am good player and i never use sonic tank but i play against my freind and he almost kick my ass with this sonic tank , but i saved myself with a WORM!...lol! 8) 8) 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
