AK-Spam?

You ever heart of this unit?

Juggernaut eats 250 peeweess, 300 AKs (simultaneously):



From this Thread. Post Nr 5 on that page.

Btw. It's a shame, that it is not possible to airdrop this unit in BA anymore.

And costs as much as the rims on Xzibit's pimp-mobile.

Thats the problem with this 'superunits'. Once spotted, they are easy to kill with the right units, if there is some time left, to prepare yourself. And these things are not costeffcient enough against normal units to be worth this risk . The 320.6 Gator you get for the price of this unit are approximately in 97.43245 percent of all games a better investment.

Yes but they are AWESOME when they are really needed. Once the battlefield is piled u pwith wrecks or you just are excessing a bit too much past your halfway resource point or you're pressed for factory space... there are instances where they are useful


Plus they are just plain fun! Peopel tend to forget that Giant Robots Blowing Shit Up are inherently cool, and the fun factor is important as well!

Then why's everyone just spamming shit?

Inherent balance issues. Glaring flaws. You know this, I know this.

And killing your enemy with hundreds of the weakest units in the game is just fun and insulting. =)

That might be true but I play a game to have fun. It's no fun to win a few games fast, you'll become bored sooner or later. That's like WC3 4on4 undead rush where we (undead) rush them (noobs, skilled players don't fall for this) with ghouls.

Exactly. I am bored, hence I try more rediculous strategy to win games to mix things up a bit and because I've done all the usual things countless times before. Thats just what happens when you play a lot of TA.

Clearly I wasnt solely AK spamming because its an effective way to win the game (there are easier and quicker ways to win with the same sort of economy I was making). Instead I was doing it for fun and to find out how effective a proper AK spam really is...

Effective at desyncing games, at least

Nothing stops 400 ak's. Absolutely nothing.

401 aks... or a krog :)
