Venom MASS be killed

[hmily444]

Once I was an Nod, VS a brutal turtle Scrin, it built lots of storm columns in its base, I built about 170 venom(that's really a large legion on the sky) when I rush these force to those columns, one died, two died, three, four... one after one died until the number of my venom is 140, then suddenly my computer got a little slow, then the tragedy occurs: over 90 venom dieds at the same time, there are only less than 50 venoms!!:cry:

who can tell me what's the problem? some results when I use venoms to attack nod air defense, but never happen vs gdi's...:eek:

Looks like you didn't spread the Venoms. When your attacking press CTRL+X to spread your units.
I don't know the SCRIN anti air rocket like defence, but if you take the GDI Firehawk for example can shoot down a series of packed together air units, but if spread they can only hit 1-2 :)

venom armor sucks of course, and that specific defense is kind of the weak air killer... it can attack units fastor after it ownz each, not like the seeker or stealth tank weapon, which completely stop a beat to turn ofver to attack the enemy air...

[hmily444]

Oh I see, do you mean that air defence got an area damage effect?
By the way, when I select a firehawk and move my cursor to one of enemies air force, the cursor doesn't change to an attack cursor which means cannot attack. what should I do???

[Derek]

You should RTFM.

[hmily444]

RTFM? what does this mean???:(

Read The F***ing Manual.


By the way, when I select a firehawk and move my cursor to one of enemies air force, the cursor doesn't change to an attack cursor which means cannot attack. what should I do??? By default, Firehawks carry two anti-ground bombs. However, while they are still at the Airfield, you can swap out the anti-ground bombs for four air-to-air missiles. As long as the Firehawks are configured to attack ground targets, you will not be able to order them to attack other aircraft, and they cannot change their weapons while in flight.

[hmily444]

thank you!! I didn't get that manual~~
The "Missile loadout" ability of firehawk was considered to be just loadout their missiles by me, now I know its true meaning: Missile loadout= Missile exchange~~

[Chev]

thank you!! I didn't get that manual~~


Play the campain dude ;).
Juggernaughts for example can shoot a single shot every (30sec?) across the entire map IF a sniper has visual on that target through a bombard ability.

Anyway you learn alot from playing the campain :p

[Avapodnaught]

although that ability itself is useless in faster games unlesss maybe them bigger ones, I bring a point about the juggernaut ability...

Many abilities affect aircraft, I once saw a mothership get owned by the far out juggernaugt ability, air craft and the ms can be owned by an emp weapon, I even think the catylist missile effects them a bit...

tiberium vapor bomb, and maybe... nope, thats all I got :D

If you wanna see something REALLY hillarious, try using the EMP blast ability on a large group of air units before the Scrin can equip their shields: I swear that the end result will cause your opponent to go catatonic!:lmao:

BTW, about the Storm Column... it's ion bolts could theoretically do equal damage to a 100 Venoms if they were perfectly stacked up, and given how powerful the bolts are, it'll probably need only one hit. Therefore, SCATTER YOUR AIR UNITS WHEN DEALING WITH STORM COLUMNS.

[Derek]

Thats one thing I really like about the SAGE engine: Every weapon deals some degree of splash, so when units start stacking, all hell breaks loose :D

I'd use the venom for harvester, infantry and light vehicle hunting as well as airial vehicle hunting, use your bombers to take out the structures.

[hmily444]

When I play as Nod, I always tend to create over 100 venoms and rocket soldiers. 100+ venoms can take out everything in seconds!!(Especially powerful against Scrin devastator warship and PAC) they are built so fast and moved so fast!!

Also, whats hilarious about that... I used it to take out a ms when it popped over my friends base, my friend didn't say thank u, but the guy who did it said nice shot:D
