Is there a way to counter Janus spam?

Postby Beam » 13 Feb 2016, 06:39

So I played a ladder match, and the opponent sent dropships with units in them, and then he sent tons of Janus bombers. If he built an army of them and sent them at once, would there be a way to prevent certain death?

no janus literally cant hit any moving units, if you get hit with janus you must be walking into it. But to counter janus spam you do the same thing you do to counter any air spam, make flak and spam intis...

So, counter Janus with Janus? Original idea.
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

Beside the fact you were FAR behind his economy, you should have just made more interceptors. All T2 fighter/bombers lose horribly to T1 fighters.
Peace through superior firepower.

Theeggroll said "make flak and spam inties". Theoretically, T2 fighter/bomber is a stronger equivalent to T1 interceptor. That is why I said "counter Janus with Janus".

Except Aeon T2 Combat Fighter .. but it is per se not a fighter/bomber so.. useless Argument :D



@Topic: Spam Janus = more than 10? .. in fact this is 4200+ Mass.. what was you spending the mass on? .. It's enough for 84+ Inits. I guess those would maybe win against the Janus.


so far

Janus is weaker mass for mass than interceptors in terms of AA.
