Okay, warthogs are vehicles right? Hunters are anti-vehicle. Warthogs cost 150, Hunters cost 250.

 

Hunters still get owned by hogs. Hunters are the direct counter for hogs AND cost more yet I still have to match the hog army in numbers just to stand a chance. The ram/gauss does way too much damage to hunters. It seems like hunters have no resistance to hogs at all. Hunters do a lot of damage but don't seem to be resistant armorwise to the unit they counter. Whatever the damage total gauss does, i'm sure hunters recieve 100% of it when it should be around 50% or so.

 

Assuming the hogs never get hit, their weapons literely counter hunters. No other unit in the game does that much damage to hunters. Even oxide flamethrowers take a while to kill hunters, yet Spirit bond hunters die in a few hits from gauss.

Agreed,Covenant need a stronger 'anti-vehicle' than hunters. Well micro'd  gauss can beat hunters (cyro helps alot), same goes with tanks w/ canister. Not to mention how immobile hunter's are (the direct counter) for example, you could be on release and rock up at anders base with 20 pop of hunters. Mean while the hogs have drove around your hunters and will easily kill your base before the hunters scratch the surface.

It's hard enough just getting spirit bond before a gauss army arrives. And covy doesn't get to use the free reactor exploit. 

 

If you ask me, assault beam is worse at killing hogs than spirit bond anyways.

I FJ I:Assult beam hunters own guass

surprisingly - not really. Spirit bond is better; all damage is concentrated in that one blob even though may miss first hog if they are all in a big cluster it will most likely hit one at the back. As for assault beam hunters, their beam often drags along and can't catch up with hogs. And when the beam finally does hit the hog only a smaller portion of damage is done this is because the assault beam's damage is transferred  in a big strand not a single blob so it only does a small portion of possible damage. But the assault beam upgrade does give that extra 15% damage/ health so i guess you could call it even, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it 'owns' hogs. Not to mention how much harder it is to reach tech 3 with covie than unsc without a reactor on the map.

Assult beam owns. The hogs hardly get a chance to get close enough to ram or shoot without getting killed by beam. But one of the reasons guass is OP is because its easy to get to tech 3 on hogs where as its not on all other unts.

Auulst beam really owns hogs.

banned, for no good reason. I will be back though, and I intend to kick some serious ass...

I will run some tests, quite sure spirit bond is better. Can we get some other input from players? (good players)

which is why we're trying to figure out a new unit that can counter gauss.  Unfortanitly, no such unit can exist for the covenant.

Your thinking of a straight 1v1 fight between a hunter and a guass hog. In numbers, like a realistic fight, the Guass will stand no chance at all. They cant get close enough to attack without being in range, let alone ram. Even if they did ram, the hogs lose a lot of HP ramming a t3 hunter.

Also, its safe to run some hogs past a group of spirt bond hunters. you wouldnt dare run a group og hogs past assult beam.

Hunters counter guass pretty well. Its the fact guass doesnt even need to fight units to win the game.

I'm not doubting that hunters wouldn't win. Just leaning towards spirit bond being more effective or even the same as a-beam. Which does it really make it worth it spending that extra 2700 getting beam. (and yes, i was thinking of a fight in numbers.)
