wodan460: crusaderking: I dont use tanks vs Arby or Anders really, and there are more Anders players than all the others combined at top level play, I had to avoid them 50% of the time today.
I view Spartanks as mandatory against Covenant, because they are the only unit that can stand up to Covie Leaders, and outright kill them, without taking losses, and once they get Canister, can truly brutalize them. Using Flamers or Hogs, even when you win, the Covie Leader can bleed your forces away, its as the Leader and his powers are cheaper than the units it trashes.
I also see Spartanks as mandatory against anyone using Hogs in significant numbers either, they are the only thing that can really handle them, save Cobras, which show up a bit too late.
If I'm playing against USNC and its clear they are building stuff other than Hogs, I might go pure Infantry instead.
I faced an Anders player who used a lot of hogs today and I went cobras+few wolvs against his gremlins+hogs, it was easy though.
spartanks are good against covy, I played the best brute cheiften(or top 3) a couple nights ago and spartanks won me the game, he was beadtly tough too, he has 45 TS, But vs Arby, marines+flamers seem to just do the job very well because they cost more to rage than replace and with Forges eco.=I win.
Forge FTW.
