MO 3.3 // Overused/Underused/NotUsed Units, Buildings & Support Powers

Centurion is immune to Charon. Doesn't matter how many Charons you have, it's immune to them.

I think either Charon or Legionaire can wipe a Centurion. Saw it on AI duel Chinese vs EA

I heard that in the 3.0 sub faction spotlight, but I saw that video 2 months ago so maybe I messed up.

Chrono Legionaire can affect centurion without problems. However Charon is unable to do so, mainly due to balance issues.

Yeah, Charon is a fire and forget (also literally) type of attack

They cant directly attack buildings in 3.3

They cant directly attack buildings in 3.3

True that. lol

 

... Somehow I have a feeling that Allies were overnerfed.

In 3.0 they also were unable to take out centurions.

Charons couldn't attack the Centurion in 3.0 either.

 

Btw ever had problems with durable units like Nuwas or Mastodons? I didn't, cause of Charons. And they're getting a range buff in next patch, which will make them much better

Apprently Eradicators inside of the Centurion are immune to being erased by the same time continuum. Cause every damn time I get a CL zapping that Centurion, beams of radiation would melt the expensive chrono commando :(

The transported infantries that fire seem to keep allegiance AND activeness even though their transport is MC'ed, EMP'ed or in your case, erased

I used to deploy dolphins a lot, but since the new release greatly nerfed them against the units, I dropped them. However, they are pretty much useful for fast reconnaisance and "minesweeping" in sunlight.

Teratorns are really underused compared to other T1 aa vehicles, because the other also have other uses. The Teratorn is pure aa. The damage is not bad, but the fact that it needs to lock on before it can fire makes it unappealing to use more often. Knightframes are in that regard more favourable and spammable.

Yea, they're good, but the lock on drawbacks made me choose Frames to combat Thor spam. Of course that turned terrible

Teratorns are not reliable when it comes to intercepting fast movers (like jets), unlike Knightframe blobs which won't let the jet come close due to instant damage dealing. Same goes for Shrike nests - while they are effective against helicopters and slow aircraft, they can't do anything to prevent jets from sniping your stuff. Teratorns are worth building if you see heavy air spam coming, you make those for one specific task and never use them again. Gattling tanks mow down infantry, Flaktracks can transport infantry and sometimes even kill enemy infantry with their weak MGs, IFV has combos which are quite potent. Teratorn has the Golden™ Rocket™, higher price and terrible reaction time - it is a situational unit which have no other purpose but to kill heavy/slow aircraft while keeping your WF busy because you need many of them. Knighframe blobs have only two things which make Teratorns a better choice - their vulnerability to Thors and their slower speed, but in all other cases Knightframes are a much better investment because of their versatility and ability to nanosynch.

I wonder how effective would railgunners on jackals would be

I tried it once, but it's hard to get the railgunner to fire without jackals getting close enough.

Has anyone ever wondered why the Flack Track doesn't just use its quad flak cannon on infantry? I mean the Gatling Tank has no problem tracking highly advanced fighter jets moving at the speed of sound, with stealth capabilities, and also mow down infantry. And that thing is a hunk of scrap metal cobbled together by some fools in Epsilon. So why can't the flack track do it xd

I also want to add to the Teratorn conversation that they're robots, so they're immune to radiation, poison, and mind control as part of their perk, not to mention the fastest of the T1 AA, to be used as a "rapid response" to flyers that may appear where Knights are just too slow to catch up to.  Sure they're bad against jets, but if you're against slower things and need something to intercept em, simply use them to kill, though microing is important especially against Thors and Irkalla.  I'd love to use em too or at least try to give em attention, but unless a Basilisk, Quetzal, Thor, helicopters, or a Kirov (or something slow like them) shows up, it's probably not worth building one.

I do want to experiment if they're worth it against Barracuda strikes, though.
