How to counter sera t3 subs

[mighty_scoop]

Hi,

i'm playing a lot seton at the moment (most of the time as a naval player). It happend more then once that my opponent (playing as sera) got t3 subs and i didn't find a way to counter them (as cybran). I couldn't use t2 bombers because of the air coverage from the opponent back player. Any advices how i could deal with these situations ?

Thanks in advance

HARMS and ground firing with t3 Battleships.

Ground firing ? .... btw i'm a noob

[ColonelSheppard]

as Cybran: HARMs
as UEF: Cooper + Atlantis +Bulwark
as Aeon: t2 subhunters, not sure how good tempest works dont play so much aeon navy

Units have 3 options: Fire normally, Do not fire, and target ground. Select target ground mode and then 'Attack' select the sea where the subs are to hit them with the splash damage.

UEF Battleships (Summits) have the best success at this as their splash radius is the largest at value 3.

Tempests are amazing for it. If there's no anti-air some t3 bombers also have good success.

Aeon also: t2 destroyers + some shields.

Battleship on groundfire and harms is propably the best thing u can try as cybran but...

the problem with harms is that they get killed by sera cruisers on groundfire.
it shard to engage those cruisers since moving out of your harms range is risky.
another problem is that harms get outgunned fast if he has enough sera t3 subs. they have the same range. harmscreeping doesnt help mutch because one forward harms gets killed by 10 subs in or two salvos. Groundfire battle ship can help but if he microes his subs good hitting is dificult aswell.

All in all you have a pretty hard time as cybran vs sera in lategame navy fights.

The other factions have less problems with those subs imo.

Cybran strat subs outrange and do more damage.

All T2 subs/sub hunters are faster so t3 subhunters can't kite you. Don't forget shields for UEF and Aeon. Cooper has best anti-torp in the game, so I would go with those over atlantis.

cooper get kited there fore the combination atlantis + cooper for topr def
