Air

Postby Masyaka » 23 Oct 2016, 12:22

Died 5 times in a row to some air snipes/air players/early strats, also many times before dying to land atleast once. I want to know whats escalation of anti-air tools, when to place them and how to not die to 15 min strats, tons of gunships without making inties (they instadie when fly out so whats the point). I cant do anything anymore because every strat i use againist enemy land infront of me i get nuked by strats of their air player or elese shit what happends if enemy makes air ever. Mobile AA sucks to bombers, gunships, nukes and T2 is slow to build, same about that happends if T1 AA meets a strat.

How to not die to 15 min strats
Ever heard of ASF?
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

ASF by 15 min is mostly air players i think,and im busy with enemy land players so i cant go ASF effectively (mass, some pgens) ANd usually those who rush strats by 15 min with 4 mexes would have tons of interceptors or ASF long ago before me.

If they are rushing strats, they DEFINITELY don't have 4 mexes. Probably triple that number or a ton of reclaim.

You can watch some replays of me being nuked with strats by min 15 by a player with 4 mexes. May be his team was supporting him, but any way to get a strat at 15 min not gap game is a real danger to enemy land players that dont have powerfull AA options while fighting with enemy land.

If you would at least post an example of a replay where this happened so we don't have to watch all your replays to find what you mean that might help a lot.
15 mins strats are nothing special assuming that the map you play is a teamgame map with a dedicated air slot.

number 5327988 the lastest i got. You can watch all replays where i have died and you'll be sure that Air4Life for me. This one was the one the easiest counter but no scouting air players make me die to every single air snipe right before i can unleash SACUs at them. Also, i need to know what to do to not get sniped by any method ever, i cant use flaks effectively againist strats, cant use T1 AA againist gunships. Lacking of scouting players makes me die to any of snipe.

The easiest method would be to forego a team games i think.
A useful guide for a newer players that i find a great success following to.

Can't download this one. "NOT FOUND"

Found a different one on Corona where you died to a strat and some t2 FB. Your "air" player went for mex upgrades while your enemy air got aras and strats. Other than more scouting, mobile aa and shields i can only tell you to avoid games where your air guy isn't doing anything while your enemy air actually makes units.

BTW when someone disconnects/crashes at min 0 i recommend rehosting...
