Its not like another race has access to a Shield does it? and the other two have more than enough weapons that can nullify them... That's impossible .
Psssst, orks. They get shields for less LP too, so more viable shield fist. Oh did I mention shield fist slugga boyz could cap?
One thing I saw a lot of early on when playing LSM and now I'm reminded of because I've been playing CSM is something that should be second nature. Look at your team, look at the levels of your team. If you see a bunch of low level guys than you need to suck it up, stop playing your favorite VSB class or whatever it is your doing and swap out to some AV and blow up the transports. Getting soooo frustrated playing CSM atm being low level and seeing the high level guys NOT tank hunting. Worst yet when they have PFists but gotta get them kills instead of win the game by shredding transports! So I guess this could translate into a little more advice: when you see an enemy transport or tank that you can't kill, hit Q to ping it for your team to see on the map so someone with AV will come over to kill it
What makes me want to reach through my computer screen and slap the living heck out of players is when they don't protect the anti-tank units ESPECIALLY the lascannons.
Not sure if completely missed the sarcasm or just heretic.... I would love to go tank hunting. As well. Having multiple dedicated anti armor kits and at least always one in a battle ready to go. But more often than not I'm on the point by my self fighting 5 or more xenos or heretics tyring to prevent them from capping it. I would love to go kill the transport that they are coming from, but I can't leave the point without it being swarmed and capped. Would be nice if Tanks could kill... well... Tanks... instead of just siting there and pew pewing away at the transport or tank. I would love a Predator Annihilator.... with either Heavy Bolter sponsons or for full AT work, LC sponsons. But we would need Tank/Vehicle customization. Speaking of. Spawn control is the biggest thing in this game, like in games like Planetside 2. If you control the Spawns you win the battle. If a Predator is avalible. I belive an roving AT squad would be a good idea. like 4 or 5 guys, one Apoth, and the rest with heavy AT weapons like Melta guns and bombs. Find a Transport. jump out, and unload with the Tank autocannon and meltas until it dies then book it out of there for the next transport. Also simple thing. Take less than a second and type "rhino/trukk/WS (wave serpent) at X (insert point here)". Not hard. and if your the squad lead, MARK THAT THING. Get your squad mates to murder it!
true I was using a heavy bolter earlier today, crouched a ways behind the CSM guy that had the Multimelta. got a few kills as LSMs would spawn n try to attack him.
Cuz on any map except for fortress lascannons are shit. More efficient just walking down and fist the rear armor. Plus once the vehicle's shredded you could still make yourself useful, while lascannons rarely would be able to do anything else.
