a good strategi for harkonnen

[guusr5644]

guys i think no one ever tryed that but i did

you build lots of ADP (air defence platform) and attack with them they may be slow moving but then again attack with minos have a better speed? think about it...

[IxianMace]

If you're going to go up against Atreides, your ADPs will be wiped out by Air Drones. Ordos can just use AA mines. AA mines take out ADPs 100% of the time, provided the ADP has no chevrons. AA mines also cost much less than ADPs as well, so you'll be losing money.

[ken124578]

yes, any unit can kill adp's, but adp's are highly effective in combinations with missile tanks/buzsaws/assault tanks and inkvines.

[Devastator_Mech]

Missile tanks/buzsaws/assault tanks and inkvines are already a good combination, ADP won't contribute much besides being shot at, therefore an expensive & inefective bait.

[ken124578]

they don't serve as bait, they kill all the annoying hit 'n run units (lasertanks) and aa weapons can't reach them because they'll be destroyed by the saws/assault tanks.

but the atreides have their airdrone so i don't suggest using this tactic against them.

[Devastator_Mech]

The ADP don't have much range, therefore it needs to be in the front line to be effective, therefore extremely vunerable to AA fire with no cover.

And the missile could catch those hit&run units as effective.

[ken124578]

no, the missile only has an little bit more range then the lasertank and its unlikely the missile tank wil be in the right place at the right time in the right angle.

[Devastator_Mech]

They turn quite quickly, so i'll doubt it.

[Timenn]

ADP's have an instant hit bullet. That makes them good. (Also the rotating turret), and they are good against the Ordos, since their only guick AA unit is the weak APC. The AA Trooper can be seen and quickly killed, and the AA Mine you can see coming

[ken124578]

yep, ordos are weak against air units but can hit 'n run, if you take that ability away from them they become useless.

[Baronvonflames]

i dont really use adps, but if i do use them, i use them for guarding spice fields

[Devastator_Mech]

Lemme tell you...... ADP guarding a spice? Go on WOL, i want to kick your @$$.

[Baronvonflames]

sorry i never said i used them on WOL. thats a waste of money and time

[Devastator_Mech]

Well they're certainly useless in guarding a spice field, but an ADP would be useful against 'thopter rushes, or gunship.

[Baronvonflames]

Yeah youre right about that

[Devastator_Mech]

But if the 'thopers or gunships were ordered to attack the ADP, then .......

[Baronvonflames]

then the ADP is screwed

[Devastator_Mech]

And thats usually the when someone see an ADP.

[TLContaminator]

the best stra is to surrender

[Devastator_Mech]

Probably, join is better than opposing. But Baron wouldn't let you.

we are now 3 sardukar ;D (this has nothing to do with this thread ;))

[Rin0c3rus]

to go back to the adp's...

I think its a good idea but it would have to be used with units under...

I think this tactic could only work in late games since if you spend that kinda cash on a hangar at the start a very good rush will squish you. since all that cash spend on them adp's

And in late games usaly an atreides player has alot of airdrones or at least mongooses. Ordos always has aa troopers aroun and if they dont well by the time the ADP's arrive you can get tons with apc's

[Baronvonflames]

we are now 3 sardukar ;D (this has nothing to do with this thread ;))

what the h*ll are you talking about

and ir0nblast, thats a good strategy

[guusr5644]

nothing just sad that i am a corrino sardukar forever coz i have a clan called "House Corrino" thats why ;D

Unless you use the ADP against hit&run strategies, the ADP's are NEVER useful.
