ordos vs ordos ...

[technocrat]

why no one build lazer turret in front of factory ???

whatever that turret is called ...

Then you can tech up to lazer tank without been swarmed by scouts.

Of course, big money start only.

Because it doesn't exist

[Anathema]

He probably means the pop up turret. That thing can kill a laser tank in one salvo. But it has a short range.

[Dezertfish]

no one builds the pop-up turret because it has a short range, no aa capability, it's not as powerful as the gun or rocket either(i think)

[Timenn]

I build it when I need defense against a rush. They are effective against light vehicles

[The_Sadukar]

have any of you guys ever tired 5 laser tanks vs 5 laser tanks. it's almost sure that only one will live.

[rogue1896]

it's a possibilty. but if each tank targets a diferent tank they all vanish. that's why if you are sending them on suicide runs its best to go one at a time. that way you may be able to take down more than one at a time and no risk losing more than 1 at a time for yourself.

[BRAVO]

laser + laser = BOOM! ;D

[rogue1896]

laser TANK + rocket SOLDIER + laser TANK however will result in only one boom. other tank will live. so it's good to accompany those laser tanks with a few aa guys. some dusties is good too. the fact is you don't want to take in laser tanks vs. laser tanks alone. it's an ill advised move.

Ah yes, the Holtzmann (is this spelled right? effect. If you're Ordos, and find yourself facing off versus another Ordos player, emprworm and a couple others recommend going for mass dustscouts. 4-5 camping in front of a factory will make sure most things don't live long; 1-2 staking out the barracks should be enough to put the kibosh on infantry. In the meantime, the laser tanks and AA troopers can spice camp.

If you have the time and money, along with the House of Ix, go for projection tanks and clone laser tanks or 'Icemen' (ISEs, Imperial Sardaukar Elites). Unless there're scouts everywhere (Thoxen) or the enemy shielded vehicles are screened by dust scouts, etc., it should work. Note, too, that the projections make excellent fire-sponges for Deviator fun... the enemy unit(s) fire on the projections, then the Deviators come up and take their shots during their reload cycle.

On the other hand, there are two cases where it's worth it to sacrifice an Iceman or laser tank: if you spot an APC (likely filled with engineers) or Deviator. Laser tank: 700 solaris. Deviator: 950 (IIRC). APC: 900 plus passengers.

well if u r ordos vs. ordos it is completely pointless and waste of money because laser units have a much longer range than it and it dies in like 5 hits or less

[ken124578]

Wel, the fremen fedaykin is the best against ordos tanks, use alot of fedaykin when against ordos.

EDIT: its the best against ordos tanks when you use them effectively.

well if there r a lot of dusties then fedykins alone will not be very effective unless they r on an inf rock and there are A LOT of them...

but feds r incredibly effective against lone laser tanks... only takes like 2 SHOTS!!!!

[ken124578]

contaminator: making fedaykins alone isn't effective, i said: use them effectively! thata means: protect them, give them strategic positions in your rush.
