are HVY weaps. useless?

[Guest Bifficvs]

Am I one of the only ones not to use the Heavy Weapons Factory Units? Mechs, being guarded by troops, seems to be all I need to storm bases (of course, they're computer bases, my computer isn't online, so I can't play on the net....maybe next semester...*crosses fingers*... until then, I just have one player games, and, like I said, I can usually win without any heavy weapons factory units....just as good as mechs, but with less range usually.....am I misssing something with them? Also, do any of the unique units get regular bonuses? It seems they don't get the trooper bonuses and whatnot like they would in AoK...

i think heavy weapon factory units are similiar to the siege workshop in aok

 

so i would say pretty useful

especially pummels for knocking down walls and buildings.

[Darth_Rommel]

I use them. I my opinion, pummels are the best siege unit in the game, so I make alot of those!

[Guest Tie Guy]

IMO, cannons and Assault mechs are really just as effective, and they are more versatile.

 

So, i hardly ever use heavy weapons, and i wouldn't even bother building a factory if i didn't use a lot of the AA mechs.

well, since ATAT's are VERY bad against air, and get killed by mounted troopers *if undefended* to easyly. I send to use pummels alot, 'cause they're really tough, and if you have enough of them, they can be devestating. I like artillery, and are very usefull, i don't tend to use em, since ATAT's are pretty much the same only..cooler looking :atat: :atat:

You don't know the power of the pummels.

 

Make a LOT of pummels ... make a lot of transports. Make supporting units. Drop the pummels in the center of your enemies base ... And have some fun.

[Jedi_Knight]

artillery are the only ones i hate cause you can build cannons that have better stats

[Paragon_Leon]

You can only use Heavy Weapons if you're not under fire and need to make soldiers by the bucketload. That's my strat anyway..

 

[duder]

apart from the pummels i would tend to agree, although the AA cannons have been very effective for me in some situations, 4 or 5 of these muthas in an advancing army and any airforce goes down like a lead baloon!

[Com Raven]

I don't really like artillery, cause Heavy Assault Mechs and Cannons do the job better (if you have them ..).

 

But AA and Pummels are really cool ...

[Guest jediaoe]

i don't use pummels, i just use those big fambaas things with the guns, they are like the AT-AT.

[Paragon_Leon]

Seems to me the Empire has the most serious firepower that way with ATAT's and the blaster cannons..
