Prefer Laser or Assault or Mongoose?

[ken124578]

Yep, lastanks don't slow down with 1 hit, but they rarely take only 1hit. Imagine a group of minos with kindjals/snipers or mongooses. Either the kindjal/sniper group or the mongooses will hit the lastanks and since there won't be only 1, they 'll slow down enough for the minos to slaughter them.

Thats just like saying: surround the lasertanks by light infantry units and own them. light infantry owns lasertanks bwuahahahahaha...

An group of kindjals/mongoose and minotaurs may be good against lasertanks but it isn't mobile and the kindjal have to undeploy and walk in group formation in order to "protect" the minotaurs. an lasertank and some worms wil be enough to kill an group like that.

LOL

The enemy simply has to be careful during moving in attack position.

The laser tank is the most useful unit of ordos in any part of the game.

you're right,a laser will do nothing to minos,kindjal and mongeese. But neither would just a kobras or just a missle tank or just an assault tank. If u cant use your laser tank well then you just arent that good with ordos and thats just a basic fact.

[Ghosty_Square]

I never said lastanks are useless. Let me quote myself.

But lastanks can be truly effective if u use them correctly.

[Terror]

i too think that the laser tank is my most important ordos unit. it is my main anti vehicle unit. It doesn't slow down as long as its hull isn't damaged but the laser tank is so weak that 2 bullets from a mino are enough to take the entire shield down

[ken124578]

Ahum cough cough, if you micromanage them wel the minotaur would just scratch the shield with its 4 bullets.

[Ghosty_Square]

Try rereading my post ken. I didn't say the minos would slow them down, but the support units (kindjals & snipers have instant-hit bullets and mongoose track their targets) and then the minos would finish them off.

It is indeed impossible for minos to stand against laser tanks alone.

Assault tanks are quite effective against artillery units such as minos and kobras. When you combine them with buzzsaws and troopers in an early rush, it is quite effective.

[ken124578]

Try an better rush vigel, buzsaws, light infantry, assault tank, 1 engineer. Always works ;)

[Terror]

yeah i use that myself sometimes, the computer never beats it. 10 20 light infantry, 10 troopers, 5 buzzsaws and 5 assault tanks, can be created very quickly and it has never failed me

Oh, I use light inf too. But how can you have a rush without troopers? They are the ones who do most damage to buildings. Engy is a good addition. I'll try it out sometime :)

Most of my rushes are:

5-7 Light inf

10-15 troopers

15 buzzsaws

3-5 assault tanks

If I have time - 3-5 Sards

[GhostHunter]

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]

U can only tell which one is best if u see the type of enemy they r facing:For example-Mongoose vs Mino

Laser-Mino but if its Mongoose-Buzzsaw,Laser-Buzzsaw

Of course its Mongoose

[VigilVirus]

You don't make sense. You didn't even compare assault tank to anything.

[Anathema]

A mino-mongoose 1v1, mongoose would win. But minos should never be deployed alone, except in early game.

A mongoose would lose from a lasertank because ordos players use hit and run and let the laser regain health before charging again.

Mongooses gets masacred by buzzsaw hordes.

Mongooses are nearly useless, except for the fact they're pretty good against buildings. But you'd have to get them to the enemy base.

[VigilVirus]

Assault tank can beat a mino easily or any other kind of unit of its level or above.

well, assault tanks also do a lot of damage, but troopers arent really affected by anti-tank.

[VigilVirus]

Dude, you can run over troops easily.

[ethan]

well yeah

[Anathema]

Eeh no ::)

An ordos player could use a single laser tank to hit and run and kill dozens of assault tanks.

Minos are usually supported, like by kindjal or feds so an assault tank will have a hard time killing minos.

[VigilVirus]

Assaults are supported by buzzsaws which would take care of kindjals and lasers..

[Terror]

yeah... assault is very good though..

for lasers use light infantry or troopers

[Warlord]

if your going to fight against kunjal or lasers, why dont you use infantry instead of buzzsaws/assaults
