Predator tanks are trash now ?

孙子兵法 · October 2017

What's the point to make tanks now?

Their super low dps can't kill any thing after patch , the AI of them is so dumb and they take insane damage from behind.

I think if they remain this bad, they should be cheaper.

And I have questions. How much extra damage does a vehicle take if it was hit from behind and does dread take the extra damage?

I actually find that predators do quite a lot of damage, especially if you give them their damage upgrades, not to mention that even predators are quite tanky. The splash damage can be strong versus blobbing orks and the lascannon pred can dominate any heavy armor targets. They are quite expensive though, and you can really only start to pump out a few very late game (escalation phase 3), which people rarely get to in 1v1's due to Forward base, kill shield gen, win in 10 minutes meta.

Upgrade vehicle damage.

There, tanks damage fixed.

Vehicles take 100% more damage from the rear and it applies only to "tanks and transports".

Dude you tell me everything about SM is right for now. Predators are trash, they are not skimmer they have nothing special, Orks has half-price big truck , fireprism is both artillery and skimmer. You call 35 dps a lot of damage?

That's 35 AoE DPS+whatever side bolters do, because apparently secondary weapons are not important enough for us to know values(I'm also looking at you, Vyper shuri catas).

Predator is fine.

If you don't like using it, then don't.

DoW3 is made so no unit is mandatory to use.
Orks big trukk costs half off only if game is longer then 30 mins, Prism is extremely slow, so its skimming isn't much of a help, especially since other skimmers hardcounter prisms.

Also Muti Melta Land Speeder comes to mind

Anihilators seem fine but i'm not a big fan of current destructors. When i ever feel like using them i try to get destructor devastation and have a paladin with presence in my setup beforehand. Other than that i only build anihilators and spend my power on other things.

Predator tanks are trash now ?
