Cybran Vs UEF Cruisers

[Flamingo]

Petric also recommended I focus more on map awareness and scouting. I lose track of it and build up silly stock piles of idle scout planes. It's something I'll keep practicing. The monkeylord was a silly attempt at a last hurrah. I figured it wouldn't work, but if happened it would be worth the screams of anguish from my friends. It didn't work.

But on the torpedo bombers, are they actually effective at combating cruisers? You need a minimum of four if the cruiser has no veterancy, but a maximum of eight if you don't want to spend more than your opponent in mass. How many bombers might someone use to attack a cruiser, and can they be shot down before they drop their payload?

I find when I use them, they feel like using duct tape and gum to fix a major structural failure. Torpedo bombers, in my experience, have seemed a hair's width from useless, as the only thing they're more useful against than gunships are cruisers and carriers, and both those ships have potent AA in any case. Maybe I'm using them wrong, though?

for killing Aeon cruser is best T2 torp bomber, you need 7 I think and they kill it in one pass and many of them will survive, T3 torṕ bomber is not so good he all so destory cruiser in one pass, but will die, so you lose more mass

I didnt test more cruisers vs. more torp bombers...

7xT2 torp = +- 1x T3 torp in mass

A single T1 submarine will destroy 1000 UEF cruisers.... Why build bombers when you can build subs? Or build a TML. Even the AI builds TML for defense and it works wonders.

[belatedcube]

Because t1 subs are weak and innefficient at killing things and would die quickly in normal curcumstances.

Don't forget, if you can build loyalists, they can guard important structures from TAC missiles.
