Krautman Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi all, i liked SCI a lot and would buy SCII at any time. Though there was one thing that annoyed me about SCI: Upgrading your tanks would not raise their anti-infantry-capabilities, so in the course of the game, tanks became more and more useless against infantry due to the inf.'s increasing AT capabilities. Is this problem (as i feel it is) being taken care of in SCII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yes, heavy tanks research will advance both hard and soft values. Infantry, on the other hand, will have to research two different techs: infantry weapons for the soft values and anti-tank for the hard ones. So tanks will have a slight advantage in SC2 that was lacking in SC1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wonder if it will lead to a return to tank warfare. Sounds fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krautman Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 That's good to know! Then SC2 will be a priority item on my shopping list. BFC, hurry and get that thing done Did other players also feel SCI tank units grew more + more useless in the course of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I find armor units to be extremely useful in cutting off pockets of enemy units so they are pinned in place. This allows my armies and air units to destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Exactly how I use them Edwin, and I never research heavy tanks, prefering to keep them cheap and numerous. One other noteworthy parameter is their defensive value gives them "staying" power. I'm hoping the new SC2 armored/mech. units exhibit that realistic property(defensive strength) when researched into the upper tech levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
