Guest jubjubjub Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 In response to a post about how to defend against 40 DD, I ran a few tests. I found out that DD are pretty tough for most units, even mech destroyers. Assault mechs are the best for taking them on, even if they are spaced so they don't take splash damage. I ran all tests with all upgrades. Opponent is rebel alliance. Against only a few DD, troopers work fine as their high rate of fire takes the DD down fast: 10 repeaters vs 1 DD = 8 repeaters left 10 repeaters vs 2 DD = 3 repeaters left 10 repeaters vs 3 DD = 2 DD left These were the rebels with the +20HP, but if you can crank out a ton of repeaters, you can defeat a DD army. It just may cost you more in resources than the other options. 200 repeaters vs 40 DD would cost 5000 food and 7000 carbon. 10 hvy mech destroyer vs 10 DD = 4 DD left You clearly need more than 1:1 to take on DD with mech destroyers. Probably more like 15:10 5 assault mech vs 10 DD = 3 assault mech left In the above case, the DD were in the staggered formation and didn't take any splash damage. With 40 of them, they had to be bunched or many of them would be out of range, and in that case they took splash damage. 40 DD vs 9 assault mech = 9 DD left 40 DD vs 10 assault mech = 3 assault mech left. At the ratio of 1:4, assault mechs seem to be the best counter. 40 DD cost 2000 carbon and 6000 nova vs 2000 food and 3500 nova for 10 assault mechs. The TF player can't afford a war of attrition as it cost them an additional 2500 nova per wave. 1 adv bomber vs 1 DD = 18 bomb rounds (bombs by 1st one to drop) 2 adv bomber vs 1 DD = 5 bomb rounds 3 adv bomber vs 1 DD = 3 bomb rounds 4 adv bomber vs 1 DD = 3 bomb rounds 5 adv bomber vs 1 DD = 2 bomb rounds With any decent AA support, bombers don't do damage fast enough to be a good DD counter. A TF player needs to have mech destroyers and AA mobiles (or forward AA turrets) to support a DD advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Also mounted Troopers do well against them and the Royal Crusaders OWN Destroyer Droids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
