So, since my last competition was pretty much a discussion, I'll now close that and move over to this general colony discussion (the others are all specific)

TALK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO COLONY (and beef burgers)

But i was talking about the unstoppable defence, nothing 5 sakatas couldn't handle behind the 1 hover tank with dozens of medics healing it.

Hover tanks are missle resistant too, as well.
A couple of missles can't kill hovers with meds.
Also, hovers suck against groups of snipers.

Maybe i should requote the defence i said.

Hover Tanks + Sakata Mk II + Blackqueen + Medics = the unstoppable combo. Why? because sakata mk II counter every air unit your opponent throws at you. Hover tanks are decent against infantry and even more effective against chronite armored. Blackqueen stops sniper build up. Medics heal your hover tanks and sakatas so fast, that if your opponent nukes, they heal their life back before the second nuke is launched.

1 blackqueen will destroy the snipers in 1 shot and because it has the longest range out of any unit it won't be harmed (maybe by missiles but i could always build another one).

Ok, if you insist on making gladiators (forget about phantoms) is there any good way to make them go toe to toe vs hovers?

I haven't tried this so maybe somebodies knows, How does a Sakata handle a hover one on one?

Eh...


Of course dudeguy if you leave your snipers in front of an advancing group of hovers, you got to hit and run with them.

Both of the sakatas die to hover tanks in a few shots.

I believe Sakata Spiders and MIIs get killed in 2 - 3 hits from hovers.

Do Sakatas (ground) not even dent the hovers health?

They usually get killed before they get in range Bronze.

Downfall of the spider.




Will 5 marines kill 5 marines?

What Firetail said, almost never sakata spider will get a shot off on a hovertank 1 on 1.

That totally depends on the player's micro. First the player has to hold position when they get in range before the other player does (holding position gives the unit greater range than advancing). And if the player's micro is good enough, send on marine behind the lines and advance again and repeat.

5 marines will get killed before they even get in range to fire at the base though :/

Well I just wanted to know about the Sakata Spider, It is one unit I really never use, and if I do, it is in such a big army I never notice it's performance. Maybe if you could make a path for them to get to their fort, then maybe...well idk lol. Phantoms and MK II's are all you really need from a forge, glads are nice, but hovers own them to quickly.
