a good strategi for harkonnen

[guusr5644]

well thats tight they are useless i played a game 1 of my drones killed 6 of the enemy's ADP so thye not so good

ADP's are way too slow to be effective in attack. Maybe that's why it's called an Air Defense Platform. ADP's are very rarely used, because they have weak firepower and pathetic armor. Gunship defend your base better than ADP's do.

weak firepower? what planet are you from. you dont build just one ADP, you build 3 or 4. ADPS have instant hit bullet and fire fairly fast.

[VigilVirus]

Come on. ADP's fire bullets and they are lot less effective than the gun turrets. Sure they might work good on infantry, but 3 or 4 ADP's will get destroyed very quickly buy say a bunch of mongoose or even a few missiles tanks, whose range is a lot longer.

I have played many experienced Harkonnen players and none of them have ever used ADP's, because they are a waste of money. With the same money you could be making a gunship fleet to destroy half of your opponent's base, lol.

[Terror]

ADP's can be ruled by almost any anti air unit. they are slow, and weak. only their damage is quite reasonable. and worst of all. they're ugly and move stupid. i wouldn't even build them because they look stupid and move even worse.

[Timenn]

Their bullet is weak, but they keep firing, what will slow down most units

[Terror]

hmmm true, but their range isn't that great like halleluja.

and like i said. it has the worst design of all units in almost any westwood game

[Timenn]

Ok, but the model doesn't make any sense for any unit :) [ color ] [ color ] [ damn damn work color! ]

[Terror]

i know. it is a flying brick, and that is for real. c'mon it doesn't have wings, no visible engines. and it flies like a drunken duck

[GeneralLutz]

You don't need ADPs. You need INFANTRY! And tanks.

[VigilVirus]

You don't need ADPs. You need INFANTRY! And tanks.

Nah.. really? I always thought we are supposed to fight with harvesters.

[Terror]

;D

no you don't need ADP's, in fact i never build them. EVEN if they could win a game for me i wouldn't buy them. Hah i'd rather loose in my little tank than reign supreme with a flying brick

[VigilVirus]

Yay! Flying bricks! Fall on top of your enemies and crush them to their defeat!

They should have made them look better, because its mere image repulses Emp players from building it.

[Terror]

very true... how does that thing fly? beats me... while everything has it's logics.... that "thing" just doesn't. it's like a creep. As if it floats magically, bwah

[guusr5644]

it has boosters in front of his guns ;D

[IxianMace]

Does everything have to be so realistic? I mean, this is a game we're talking about. ::) Let's see, how could a Fedaykin blast a sonic wave through his weirding module without going deaf himself? ::) Why does the radiation from the Death Hand missile go away so fast? Shouldn't it stay there for a few hundred years? ::) Please...

[Terror]

No i understand your point, but hey, c'mon have you seen the ADP fly? if so, tell me what YOU think of that "thing"

[VigilVirus]

Why does the radiation from the Death Hand missile go away so fast? Shouldn't it stay there for a few hundred years? ::) Please...

A better question would be, how can a thermonuclear missile do so little damage???? I mean, I real missile would not only blow up a building, but destroy everything on the screen and beyond.

[Terror]

ok, but where would the gameplay go to then? eh? ever thought about that? :) one nuke is the end of the game, but not only for you,but also the person who fired the nuke.

In emperor it's just fine. RA had a useless nuke though, it could hardly kill a dog but ah well. it looked kewl.

TA's nukes were nukes, bwah i remember those babies. 30 nukes in one straight line to the enemy base....

IT'S NUKING TIME!

I've thought of that. The logical solution to that would be not to call them "multiple thermonuclear missiles of incredible power" like they do in the game.

[Terror]

AHA perfect sollution 8) except that people wanna hear powerful names.... long distance tactical rockets is not what they want.... it's nukes they want... :)

[VigilVirus]

... And now I shall launch my earthshattering planetkiller with a thermonuclear and biological warhead and destroy your windtrap!! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

1, they wear earplugs ;D

2, they have radiation cleaning things.

[IxianMace]

1, they wear earplugs ;D

Ok fair enough.

2, they have radiation cleaning things.

Wtf? ???

[VigilVirus]

Let me try to explain:

Radiation cleaning thingie (lol) - a complex futuristic machine capable of neutralizing radiation and shortening the half-life of plutonium to only a few seconds.
