Sonic Tanks-How do you use them?

[Anathema]

Sonics suck against most buildings. Surprisingly, they can take down a devastator in 3 hits...

[VigilVirus]

Devastator armor is apparantly weak against sonic weapons - Sonic tanks and fedayikin.

[ethan]

an elite tank takes out a dev in two shots from farthest away!

Yeah, but don't forget, A dev can easily take out a sony with 1 shot

[Anathema]

If it's close enough ::)

[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.

ah, arent you supposed to be in "Laser, Mongoose or Assault?"?

good point tho

[GhostHunter]

My bad LOL....

[lowzeewee]

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

[ethan]

not really, the mongoose can just walk by it.

[Timenn]

Hmmm, yes. The Mongoose, I always underestimat it's speed

[Joppu]

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.

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.

[Timenn]

It would have made alot different if they had a longer range

[House_Draco]

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.

[Timenn]

Hmm, I found them less effective against buildings then against units

[Anathema]

They are horrorible against buildings. Turrets take damage faster (seemingly), but the sonic tank doesn't outrange them.

[ethan]

i dont really use sonics that much, but they're real useful at 2 or 3 vetrancy.

[Timenn]

I only used them in singleplayer

[Fremen_Mentat]

Use them against devs. They are one of the only vehicles that can kill a dev in a single hit

[NetWerx1]

i use multiples of them to get rid of masses of sardaukar ;D

[sycplayer]

i have never used sonic tanks for the best startport tank u can get is devistator then deviatoor then sonic tanks they r bad :P

[Timenn]

It would help if the range was longer of the Sonic Tank.

[NetWerx1]

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)

[dread910]

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!
