Lancer is a problem for me

Post by Koror »

What can you do against a large number of Lancer? Some special types of units? I though once, that half-wheeled will take less dmg.

I'm not quite sure, but aren't cyborgs supposed to take less damage from missiles?

Send a bunch of cyborg flamers at him. That'll teach him about not diversifying. ;)

But in the Singleplayer mode it is nearly impossible with all those Lancer who are camping in the base ( Collectiv ). Cyborgs are easily destroyed with 20 lancer. Any help for me?

I'm not the best player, but I'd suggest artillery and possibly coupled with a few surgical strikes to take out both sensor/CB towers in the base. If you use a bit of massed lancer fire at range, should be able to blow through the shielding wall and hit them without drawing the enemy units out. Prioritize their indirect fire defenses first, then go to town and use your direct fire units to mop up whats left. Assuming the Vtols got stuck on you. If not.... :stressed:
