That would be too easy. Anyway this thread is very old and how should I say"not productive".

Closed.

Scouting usually most important part.
Best place to hide is in water, near cost, with shield and stealth. Try make it that way so you are under shield and in the water at the same time AND under stealth as well.

Don't forget about telemazer snipe, and even nuke snipe.
Against telemazer you need water or ~50t1 pd (or 30 pds and some shields, more shields you get more time you have to kill enemy acu before he kills you with mazer)

Against nuke nice to have t2 trans near acu
Also nice to remember that submarine nuke deals less damage so some acus with shield or double nano can survive that and no need to risk flying away on t2 trans

Alas!
No more;
To Seek and Strive once more.
Yet hark;
All is lost and been in vane

Doth do thine jestee moan and groan;
before the sight of such burlesque.
Behold!
Ye shame laid bare for all to see;
In divine detonation!

Hark!
See how the noob doth sully thine name;
Venomous accusations do he doth send;
of aid not sent.
Caution did he not heed.

For the sake of one candle.
The manifestations of one solitary labourer;
and the holy pgen doth is demanded to maintain it.
Might wisdom have increased;
and the noob's ass endured but a little more.

Corsair and gunship snipes should be fast and going in water isnt a good way to counter this. If you get out of shields you'll mostly likely die next seconds. 10 jesters can kill a com in 20 seconds.

What biass is trying to say is that maybe you should improve before trying to give advice. You current forum posts in other threads have indicated the skill level that you're currently operating at. I'm probably say that you were about 700 global rank or below. 'Am I correct?

Also, your advice is far from perfect and there are many possible counters to each of these threats. Which one you take depends on what direction you have decided to go for tech.

For instance. TML snipes can be countered by TMD. But they can also be countered by not standing still. If you are using your ACU aggressively, or at least have it on a reclaim patrol, it is no longer a viable target for TML snipe. You can also protect yourself by destroying the damned launcher.

For Jesters any AA will do. It doesn't need to be static. It can be mobile or airborne. T2 gunships you definitely want flak, and T3 you should be looking at some SAM's or T3 MAA as well. Walking underwater works, and if you're near water, you may as well have cruisers.

As for the T2 bomber, and corsair snipes, these can be countered by shields and flak. But they can also be countered by walking under water. Even without water to walk into, it is quite possible to survive a Corsair snipe without flak or shields. All you need to do is have air superiority with interceptors. If you walk your ACU in a tight circle, while sending all your air on an attack move order to your ACU's position. You can completely mitigate any damage from the Corsairs and have them shot down shortly afterward. (same goes for any bomber snipe).

***

So you see. Many options. Don't Pidgeon hole yourself into only using one type of counter, you need to be more flexible and more resourceful.

you cant snipe with a single T1 bomber, only if someone is AFK and his teammates got sniped few mins ago.
