UEF vs ser t1 arty spam on small watter map

[pchelka]

Hey guys - i need some advice

Playing as UEF, each time if i hit a water map with small / med island map, i literally get run over by t1 hover spam. Cant get enough frigates and bombers are not helping much as the other player just needs Arty + fighters for initial ohase

Trying to do drops but hard when being steam roled by string of t1 arties
Teching for t2 pds is to late
T1 pds are usles

So... how to counter this - especially with the fact that you cant micro to deffend all points while Spam is set on atack move (requires no attention)

the only thing you need is (microed) T1 frigattes. you need to build them early enough though so they arrive in time etc.

heavy depends on the map... there could be maps where hover gives big advantage... you can also try useing t1 bombers

Could you upload a replay (or give the replayID and your FAF name). It would help a lot if we can see where it goes wrong.

I think you have to have three posts on the forum before you're allowed to upload files.

OP is right. Hover artillery doesn't add anything positive to the game and should be removed. It's plain unfair and therefore breaks certain maps like pizza and Finn's

Oh and senton of course. Ever tried Aon Vs Sera naval rush?

I did, aeon have one amazing anti-fobo unit, called blaze, try that

btw. I dont like float arty either

Blaze is utter shit and get's countered by frigates which are part of mix.

Basically go land T2 and make some bots with radars, rushing land T2 is common UEF anyway.
Pd: to the guy bitching about hovers, they are fine. You need to learn how to deal with them.

My strategy , build 2 naval bases then pump 6 engies , 12 thunderheads and 7 tigersharks as fast as possible, then upgrade 1 of it to T2 naval baseand then build 1 bulwark ,1 Governor ,2 coopers and 3 valliants .
