hence the use of an escort for the sensor tanks. towers are ok, but they can quickly become a hassle depending on the situation and opponent you face. especially if the mission is timed, or your opponent likes to draw your attention elsewhere by harassing your oil derricks and so forth. i would recommend using towers mainly for bases, forward bases, or outposts.. but this really depends on the type of player you are. if you are the type that likes the heavy build tanks and more turtle-like defense, then the towers is the best choice for you. but if you like medium to light builds and quick attacks then the mobile is for you.Outlaw325 wrote:It's stuff like Terrain issues which means you should use towers, not sensor tanks.
Towers can 'see' over any elevation change, and actually have a longer range. Sensor tanks might be mobile, but clearly this is a bad thing if they're suiciding into the enemy. I'd say just use towers, it'd be cheaper than replacing a bazillion scouts
Like I said, it really just depends on the type of player you are and the way the situation changes and how you adapt to it.
I've often hit max energy because I have so much time to milk the stage for all it's worth. When you use nothing but heavy tanks, you tend to learn the meaning of patience, let's just say. But like I said before, it'll be cheaper to use expendable towers than to use scouts, and then attach escorts, all of whom when they get experience, are not expendable at all.
). I'd still say go for towers though, since sensor units with experience can be used, if needbe, to replace an experience unit who's just been lost (the only reason I still have my sensor unit from Alpha 12)
