Suicide croc for 1 HMG? WTF kind of fail is that?

Shit learn to play, you kill an HMG, some PAKs and the Mortars + anything else you can get before it dies.

This isn't the point, point is PE have a lack of AT, I played against the devs twice and that had to have been blatantly apparent so you would think someone would take notice, but no, I just need to l2p.

Yep, I particularly liked the part where you paradropped two FSJ and then charged a garrisoned HMG head on while whining about how your "MG counter sucks".

Hint, FSJ are not designed to kill MGs in buildings, their incendiary nade has far shorter range than the regular one on PGs.   And had a single one of crazy's FSJ had fausts, I wouldn't have been able to go carmageddon on their asses with a half health firefly,

I think it was quite clear I was joking and didn't care at that point, but you seem too stupid to realise that. Go watch the replay to see what I said before I charged FJ at the building. I didn't even have the incindairy grenade on them. I also said my MG counterS suck, plural, not singular, l2grammar.

Yes because the Mortar HT is the worst HMG counter in the game.

I particularly like when you theorycraft about how a croc is so uber because you can throw it away to kill a single easilly remanned HMG.

In EIR last ed, people constantly threw crocs away to take out a HMG, then they would garison the building with their OWN hmg and force the defender to attack. I doubt you even played if you aren't aware of that, it was one of the most common allied attacking strategies and often a highly successful one. Try doing a search "suicide croc" and see how many threads come up.

This isn't EIR, its EIRR.

You have no clue about tactics if you think allies can throw units away like that anymore.   Its like smokaz said, allies used to be able to throw away units for information.  Availability has killed that.   Crocs are on one in supply.   Every unit is precious now.

Maybe thats why you're having so much trouble with PE, you're still playing like its EIR.

Ya but suicide crocs dont work so good any more.  One hit from an ATHT turns the suicide charge worthless, and you cant only have one in your company these days...

He wasn't the only one, and we were already talking about a change to Treadbreaker before even releasing.

Wait, so you pay a bit more than a Sticky Rifle squad for an armored vehicle that can damage/destroy/immobilize from range thats a problem?

Seriously?

No one is staying stickies are useless.  The problem is that stickies are FAR cheaper, come with a FAR quicker cooldown time, and the units they are on can actually make themselves useful when they aren't launching stickies.

Wait? What?

No it's more like saying, PE have a highly mobile Tank Crippling Platform, so it's priced to reflect that

ATHTs can attack greyhounds, stuarts and the like, though not incredibly effective, Focussed fire let's them rape infantry, especially rangers are a good target, and a 45 range sticky on a fast and mobile unit with unlimited uses is fairly decent me thinks.

I unforunately still deploy 3 ATHT including 1 of them in my starting deployment. I can honestly say that since the change I have only been able to have 1 or 2 sucessful "immobilized" results even when using all three of them almost everytime it is off cooldown. As it stands now it is very close to not being worth taking them at all.
