Auroras and alphas..

Recommended Posts

i have seen alot of complaining about glitches and possibillity to shoot these down , i am going to clarify how its done.

laser turrets are infact usless as they are an instant hit at said location on map.

alphas and auroras can be shot down , but only when the fly in groups as stated in the manual.

the best way to do tthis is stinger site spam ( i have never been able to do it with usa/china)

it happens when aurora 1 flys over your sites, the rockets fire and detoante behind alpha one just as alpha 2 is flying into the area the stingers are detonating. this is the only way to shoot auroras down full stop.

I am fed up of people calling you "noob" for using auroas ( not even alphas) i personally never have a problem dealign with them, they are sitting ducks on the way out.

from what i can tell of the player base of ZH a fair portion are whiners and cryers. if anything isnt going their way the resort to insulting your methods rather than trying to counter them. i am fed up of game slisted as "no SW no aura" wtf is this ? if you cant handle these aspects of the game then u shouldnt be playing online. you dont see posted games " no battle busses" or "no nukes cannons" (or inferno cannons , which are better imho)

what these people who cry about all the time really need , is to go play the carebears have tea ! or something simmilar. this is a war game and every race has its "i win button" deal with it or stop playing

this is my point, people complain about so much in this game when the writing on the wall for them , your either a noob for using SW or a noob for bunkering, or a noob for using a certain unit.

really gets to me.

Oh please STFU.....

 

 

We covered the whole Arouras shot down thing....

 

Its ANY rocket firing unit that can nail a trailing Aroura..... Ive seen it with a Raptor ;) Hell ive seen it where an Alpha got KOed after a EMP Pat was shooting a transport plane and the Alpha flew through as the Pats exploded.

 

 

All the rockets have to do is collide.... Rockets in ZH don't explode for no reason unless they run out of 'fuel' and hit the ground or hit a unit. (some just vanish)

 

 

 

I am fed up of people calling you "noob" for using auroas

 

Yes you are a ****ing n00b using Arouras as they require **** all skill to use.

 

Oh wow i mean how much skill do you need to make units that can nail somones base witout you being able to prevent it? Any one worth **** will make sure there Arouras return so you nail Power plants/defences first.

 

 

 

player base of ZH a fair portion are whiners and cryers. if anything isnt going their way the resort to insulting your methods rather than trying to counter them.

Yer mate.... Loads of n00bs..... but then again.... your using Arouras.... You need the damn Tactics ;)

 

 

" no battle busses"

Battle Busses Require SKILL and forward planning..... something Aroura n00bs don't have ;)

 

i personally never have a problem dealign with them, they are sitting ducks on the way out.

Man.... I loth Arouras..... but **** i would love to play you and use arouras and just Pwn your ****e ass back to the stone age :P

 

 

 

what these people who cry about all the time really need , is to go play the carebears have tea ! or something simmilar.

 

#1..... that makes bugger all sense.... #2....... You tellin me to play with carebears?...... dude.... go let your balls drop THEN come back and tell me what to do ;)

 

this is a war game and every race has its "i win button" deal with it or stop playing

 

oh god... PLEASE point out the 'win' buttons for China and GLA..... I'll just rip them to shreads with the USA counter ;)

 

Arouras are just too stupidly strong and cheep they are essentually 'Hunter Killers' from TS and unblockable unit that can kill any other unit standing still or most structures.

 

They also take less time to build than a war factory...... Waste 2 to kill a war factory and before a new ones 1/2 built you can have a new Aroura killing the dozer ;)

 

Aroras require ZERO skill to use....... the n00b just bunkers then sends out arouras to attack his enemy.

 

Aroras = FAIL!

Alphas = FAIL!

Using them = N00b****e!

How can you posibly say that first strike units are unballanced? THEY ALWAYS ARE!

 

I am easily one of THE best ZH players out there you little SOB so don't you dare start chatting bull about me being a loser.

 

I have a f*cking great attitude while playing! Im always cracking jokes and running a comentry! I just don't like f@g boys going on about the Sh*test ever unit to grace a CnC game like its the best thing since sliced bread!

Havent been able to shoot down an incoming Aurora effectively just yet, not that it matters, most players are GLA and usually the rules are that no Superweapons or Auroras are to be built, which suits me fine.

christ.... talk about missing the point...

 

Okay...

 

Now we all know that any AA unit can nail a Aroura AFTER its droped its load..... Its that bit about the Aroura being able to bypass all your defences and attacking.... If the aroura had nailed a power plant your laser turrets aint gona be working ;)

 

Also if someone is striking with Arouras they will have 3-4 airs and a ****e load of supply drops ;) they can aford to lose a few Arouras ;)

Considering what Badger said, it MIGHT be possible to take down an Aurora with a Laser Turret or Avenger... But there is the basic fact that most players attack with 4 Auroras usually, and they already have cash, so the defense still won't work... You can take down all of the Auroras AFTER they destroyed their target... Pretty much the best defense is to destroy the enemey's airbases, and have alot of money so that you can rebuild... :wink:

lets give the cold hard facts.

 

y'all N00BS

 

stop bickering about auroras. they're not good. turtling and auroras never work. the offensive player takes over the entire mapand surrounds u while u eventually get money problems. 2500 on an aurora tahts gonna get shot down on the return flight is a waste of money and time. just need 1 or 2 gat tanks to do it....., king raptors are much better. not only do they survive better with their laser, but they hurt plenty. kill 2 dozers with 1 raptor (3 missiles each) and ur investment has paid off. also effective in small groups agaisnt powerplants and most buildings.

 

badger can pwn ur asses anytime, he's one of the best players online.

listen to teh pros.......just try using auroras on badger....he'll wipe u out fast and early before u have get anything serious up.

yeh, go badger, yeh! cheer squad everybody.

 

i dont care what u think cause i'm not a noob.

 

auroras r good to take out key areas on the battlefield and like u said, 2 gat tanks can take out an aurora. but hey, that'll take down a raptor too, because u cant block a bullet with a laser.

 

u use auroras on buildings that are the wall between u and an effective invasion, such as a powerplant iif there are heaps of base defenses or a gat cannon if u have heaps of infantry waiting to attack.

 

they are sometimes only one time hitters, but a few are good for ur force. ur not a noob if u use em, its just like using awps in counter-strike. ur only a noob if they're make up more than one third of ur entire force. after all it is an official unit of the game.

:D mesa thanky yous :D

 

Only time i have ever had probs with Arouras is on massive 1v1v1v1v1v1 FFAs..... If i only have a tiny corner..... can't really expand :( mind you the guys 'cheating' and so the others norm attack him while he's attacking me or the know that the same will happen to them. (i'm talking the small little bases on Defcon 6)

 

 

Let me put it in an other way. An incoming aurora can be taken down with a laser turret. happy now

 

N00B!!!

 

NOTHING can take down an incoming aroura! Lazers/Avengers/Gats/Rockets NOTHING WILL KILL IT WHILE ITS GOING SUPER SONIC!!!!

 

(exceptions where an aroura runs into missiles aimed at another Aroura/plane just ahead and the rockets explode, Also if the aroura runs into 2 p-cannons, a nuke, scud storm, MOAB, Fuel Air bomb or Anthrax bomb as it explodes.)

 

 

anything that can shot skyward can kill a returning aroura ;)

 

 

 

Admitedly I may use Aroras If someone has buildt a SW in a no SW game as 4 Arouras can be made in under 2-3 min. that is really the only way i like arouras and also more proof that the USA has an added bonus when it comes to the SW as arouras are really just a 11k SW (4 arouras) that can be built in a stupidly unfair amount of time.

 

Arouras really should have been like heros and you only get 1 at a time and it takes about 3-4 min to build 1 aroura. this could be made slightly more powerfull so it can nail a power plant/baracks in 1 hit.

 

Then again you have the problems of China and the GLA not having there own 'Aroura' style unit.

 

Maybe a hunter killer drone for China (TS style)

 

some sort of stealthed 'Saboteur' for the GLA that blows stuff up suicide style. (goes up like Burton to place a charge and you get 5 sec to stop him before he blows)

Hey, money problems don't come out that often, considering there are ALTERNATIVE money sources, i.e. Supply Drop, also, Auroras have only one purpose: to take out key structures or superweapons, i.e. Scud Storm, they were NEVER meant to be your basic aerial attack unit...

Yer... Arouras looked good on paper but people don't just use them for Anti-SW..... Its a main strike unit for some players ;)

Thanks for saying that ever though i already said it

Yeh, i never have more than 4 auroras, thats just noob. But while ur SW general, they're cheaper (2k not 2.5k) and they do more damage(x1.5 unless u use MACINTOSH!, they are my fav air unit, doing twice normal amount in primary and secondary explosions, so if u annhiliate a us powerplant, u'll also send the rangers inside sky-high).

 

I'll see if i can get a pic or video.
