IX

[AWACS]

Is the IX infiltrator meant to be very damaging or is it a glitch? Coz in the campaign it sez the're meant for revealing stealth.   ???

they do reveal nearby stealth units... much like a scout.

They also do a considerable amount of damage to builings, unit and infanrty (effective against a group of infantry).

When detonating the bomb, instead of targeting an enemy with the bomb, move it as close as possible to the target - THEN hit the deploy button. This way, it will explode as close as possible, thus maximising damage.

They are most effective when used to take down strategic key structures - for example, refineries, factories, or clumps of windtraps.

Most buildings can withstand the damage from 1 or 2 ix bombs only. Other stronger structures, such as the ConYard and Guild Palace, need a few more to take down.

I agree with Harkonna. The infiltrator only is good when it can be deployed.  When used against infintry they usually destroy it before it has a chance to deploy completly.  They are much more effective on armored units than infantry.

yes but is it meant to be that powerful for only $500

also are the projections meant to shoot? But I agree Infiltrators are bad when not deployed.

I like to send in infiltrators one at a time into the enemy's base until there are about seven or eight around the key structures and then detonate them all at once. That's my primary use. Although I once met a person who sent them in with his forces.....

[Apollyon]

nah its better to detonate them 1 at a time so they dont deploy at slightly different times and destroy each other causing less damage or so that they dont reveal eachother if u wanna take out more than 1 building

They're meants for weakening defenses if u ask me. One wont do much to a wall of minos, but 6 will.

If you deploy them all at the same time by pressing 'D' with all of the Infiltrators selected, they will all explode at precisely the same time for maximum damage each. Also, Infiltrators that are deployed then explode will not reveal friendly units, invisible or not.

Supposed to damage, because if it just let you see cloaked units you'd be buying like a 350-600 ( dont no price off top of head ) scout.....Until next post, Vilgent.
