Rock 'em Sock 'em! By the way if you're waiting on Incendiary Bomb to cool down to desperately solve a chaff problem, if you really need it, you could always go for the Sticky Oil Bombs and set that on fire. Or if you have both, overlap them, because sometimes you just want to watch the world burn :)
52:09 The yellow marksman knows he outranges the enemy, he has picked the perfect position to snipe as many of them down as possible while they approach. Meanwhile the white scorpion: "FORWARD FORWARD FORWARD" 😆
Sledges are actually excellent against steel balls, but only if you place them vertically so each of them has to get focused in turn. They take forever to die like that because the steel balls have to ramp up five times, and putting them vertically desyncs their firing, which makes them marginally better at chaff clear too.
Sledges seem generally undervalued imho. They don't really have any "insta-win" matchups, like marksmen vs no chaff, or wasps vs no anti-air. What they do offer is victories in mid-range semi-chaff battles. They linger around after the "true" chaff is gone, and block for giants and snipers and such. They're kinda middle of the road silent helpers.
@@barbariandude The problem is mostly that forts are too good right now and the random free saberteeth are incredible tempo and people pick them a lot. Sledges can be made to work, but their natural counters just tend to show up a lot.
Hey Indrid. I love the content and the Mechabellum game! Its cool to see you get better at it as well to the point of predicting what your opponents will choose. Keep it up! :D P.S. You might like the steel balls mechanical division perk considering the crawlers gameplay. ;)
39:45 this match you were struggling with his chaff countering your flanking wasps… chaff can be solved with cheap missiles… if you’d put a missile on either flank it will wipe those blocks of fangs in one strike. Allowing your wasps to move on to harder targets…
10:30 ish, your Mustangs can get missile interceptor. I am not an expert at this game but from what I have seen, if your enemy goes for stormcallers and you already have mustangs, that's a great way to discourage them. Also, missile intercept can sometimes - when they're close enough - take down missile strikes (those 50 supply one time use ones). As for prioritizing air units with air spec, if I am not mistaken they may prioritize air units because they get increased range vs air units.
Never get missile interceptor on carry mustangs. Great way to throw the game. Either you get interceptor mustangs and don't level/tech them in any other way, or not at all. If the enemy sees you get interceptor on carry mustangs they just tech launcher overload and the mustangs will do nothing but shoot missiles for the rest of the game and all your dps is gone.
Maybe a better player than me can comment, but I feel like flanks are only really good the round they come in. It just so rarely seems worth it to me unless you're already getting redeploys for some other reason.

You can't put in missiles on the enemy flanks. Plus, the Fangs had shields even if you could.

But unlike sabertooths and factories, mustangs use their primaries and stop shooting anything else so it's a double edged sword on them.

They don't even move while they're intercepting missiles. Only ever get this tech if the stangs are only there to intercept missiles and nothing else.

I wholeheartedly agree. 😂
hello
Good stuff!
Seeing your timer tick down always has me so worried haha, "is he going to notice and actually buy stuff in time?"
