memezcom Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 On Confeds mission 5 last night. I'd got to the point where I'd defeated the wookie encampments to the north and south and now had to cross the river to the wookie/republic encampment where the decimator facilities are. Upto this point I'd mainly been using 'heavy weapons' stuff but I decided to change to Mech Factory 'stuff' for a change. I upgraded the heavy assualt Mech Tank ( the one on the far right of the 4 choices) and ordered a dozen of these becuase it said in the description that these were good for 'destroying encampments'. Boy were they not wrong, these things are indestructible and unstoppable, they literally wiped out everything (there were no air threats at this point, which would be a weakness for them), troopers, workers, CC's, Fortresses, turrets, you name it, no problem for these guys!!!! What a laugh, I went through that encampment in no time! Which I used this earlier on now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memezcom Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 Yeah, if my message came across as 'I have discovered something so to speak', it was not intended that way...sorry! I can't remember much now about GB and it's weapons, it's just that I personally can't recall using a vehicle before, that seemed so impervious to any attack (apart from air) and yet was so destructive itself.... All I did to tackle that wookie/Republic part of the map was walk through it with 'Tann (sp?) and 6 of these things and I didn't suffer any harm...this surprised me because I suffered a lot of casualties using heavy weapons and troopers for the 2 wookie encampments to the North and South.

simwiz2 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Assault mechs are hardly "impervious". A few mech destroyers (IIRC a 3:1 ratio) will destroy them, and considering an assault mech costs a lot of nova while mech destroyers are only carbon and food, cost effectively your army would be beaten. Grenadiers could also work if you had your mechs closely packed, but the grenadiers would have to be staggered and I don't think the computer AI knows how to do that. Jedi could get under the mechs' minimum range and cut them apart in seconds. Even troopers could get under the range and attack the mechs without being hit back, though I think it would take awhile for laser troopers to do any real damage.

Crazy_Taco Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Also bombers can take em out in a snap if someone is carrying air units. Assult mechs usually are used to take out turrets and walls. Always accompany them with air units or anti-air. And they cost as much as my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 And a single jedi master can obliterate several of them... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtroop Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 and i myself my own opion think heavy air bombers are one of the best things in the game as many people dont have anti air missle turnets in online games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryllith Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I usually don't have a lot of AA missile turrets in games, but I do tend to have a buttload of fighters hanging around. Course, I'm an air enthusiast... Kryllith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
