Nashorn
« on: June 07, 2011, 12:30:13 AM »
Hello every one  ;D
I am just wondering what do you guys think of the new reward unit nashorn ?
Is it worthy buying it?
Do you think 15 sec to lock down are WAY TOO much,i know i do.
Try to change my mind or something,but i don't think it's worthy of buying it.

I think that's enough time, if it had less time would be OP. Nashorn isn't supposed to be an assault unit, like you don't build a flak 88 in front of an enemy tank.

I am aware of that i am not a begginer  :-\
The lock down is a different case i understand the 15 sec.
I am just curious what you guys think of it and i still didn't got my answer.
Is it worth buying it ?

I personally prefer the stationary .88, but that's just me.

I haven't used it but from the sounds of it I would prefer it to the regular FlaK 36 for the following reasons, and correct me if I'm wrong about any of them: Unsnipable, harder to arty, and able to react to changing front lines.

Nashorn all the way. Flak not being mobile sucks hard against a decent opponent. Immune to snipe is another awesome reason.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I saw a game (EF 2v2 replay) where w KV (I think it was a faster 85 version) circlstrafed Nashorn but that was some insane micro and KV drove near it when it was still deploying. But with a gun much more powerfull than anything ingame It is an easy choice.
P.S. Germans lost that game becouse they used it like a Marder and didnt build it again when IS-2 spam attacked them.

Yep, they arent distracted by planes and shot down P-47 wont drop on your own troops. Another advantage. ;D :P

Yep, it's just awesome. When used in pairs, with a recon unit to spy targets, no enemy tank is able to get too close.
