I actually did the Choppa tank thing the other day. Had some of the stikk bombs that were good for tanks (not sure what they are called) and just axed a tank down. I have a storm boy w/ power klaw and same grenades and I keep him to go tank hunting. Power claw on rear of a tank or transport will make Short work of it with grenades as well.
Ork knuckles are exactly the same as a marine knife in every way possible. This is just factually wrong. Also while the electrified knuckles can be good with 110 pen it costs 150LP. The Marine knife is also 110 pen, but only costs 60LP. So technically it's worse as it draws LP from other things for no advantage over the marine pen knife. The klaw does work, but since it's 2 to 3 times slower than the power fist both with fast and heavy attacks AND you don't travel as far with klaw attacks vs power attacks. All while having the same stats as a power fist. Between the speed loss and the distance loss, it's impossible to use on anything short of a marine not paying attention or a parked vehicle. Anything else and you're almost 100% guaranteed to die unless the enemy player is a complete idiot.
Just aim. That's the difference between an ok Shoota boy, and a great one. There's no fucking spread on the shoota while aiming
You got all the fun cheesy weapons though, rockets, canon, you name it. Being an Ork is like living in Wisconsin.
Inferior? I really don't know.. most of the time I'm up against orks, it's usually going to be a loss. It's gotten to the point of frustration, and I know that I'm not going to be having fun every time I see I'm against orks. It might be lack of team coordination that I'm unlucky enough to be stuck with a lot of the time, I really don't know. But it's usually a stomp on my end.
I certainly didn't think so. I can very rarely out-melee an ork. I mean, that's not to say that I'm not hot garbage at melee or the game in general, but I can hold my own better than I did when I started playing.
Ork melee is inferior because all ork animations are slower and don't turn as well as marine ones. Their weapons are exact copies but because of slower attacks, all ork melee weapons have less DPS compared to marines. It's being discussed here :https://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/ok-someone-needs-to-say-it.62676/page-10#post-1377675 With some basic math and video evidence I discovered that the Ork Klaw has 50% less DPS than the Marine Power Fist. That's the most pronounced difference but it's there with the other classes of melee weapons too.
