I'm making a list of all the people that bomber snipe.

It's frowned upon. So now i'm going to make it even more frowned upon.

I'm not going to make it public on here, because that's stupid.

I'm watching you.

(o)_(o)

y u no liek?, remember someone fails a bomber snipe, you pretty much win the game, same with boom bots, it is very cost effective to defend vs them

I've never bomber sniped someone, but you're making me feel tempted...either that or circumventing your list with orbital snipes

That said, I've had people try to snipe me before with bombers, but it's never happened because I either have sufficient air support, air+defensive tower support, or flak. Flak does wonders, though it's been made expensive as hell, but still worthwhile for key locations. If you're letting yourself get sniped with this tactic, you kind of have it coming And bombers aren't cheap and are easy to tear down.

I don't understand what's wrong with bomber snipes or boom bot snipes, if your opponent was able to keep it hidden from you in a 1v1 then props to him.

However I can see the frustration in FFAs/team games since it's harder to expect them and it could be anyone.

This is just silly. You might as well just say "everyone but me".

"Someone uses an effective tactic, that isn't even an exploit... Witch hunt!"

Sorry, just seems a bit silly. c:

Not talking about 1v1's. When there's hundreds or even a thousand fighters blocking my flaks from shooting the real targets (bombers) i get real mad.

Not to mention t1 bombers are better than t2 bombers.

I BOMBER SNIPE LIKE IT'S THE ONLY STRAT!!! learn to build fighters plox. Or you deserve it

In that case i'll also make a list of everyone that uses the astreus exploit.

This this this...

People don't build enough AA. I always have at least one factory pumping out fighters all game on infinite queue.

I can tell this thread is gonna get locked pretty quick...

That's different, it's an exploit... And it doesn't even exist anymore! XD

Fighters are not a counter and i think you know that.

Bomber snipes should be in everyone's bag of tricks.

I'd agree with you if and make list public even if it was broken and gained for sure wins.

It doesn't,it's a carp shoot on multiple levels so I have to say learn from mistakes, scout more often, react faster,execute better, enjoy fruits of labor.

That's the great thing about the rts genre, especially this one...............

There is no skill ceiling.

I have one factory producing unlimited scouts every game. I always see every enemy from every direction. Then, if i happen to see someone with a massive air force i make hummingbirds. But hummingbirds don't do **** when all they do is target the over HP mega-buffed enemy hummingbirds, which then prevents me from taking out the real payload.

They have 200 hp and only deal 80 DPS!

Sounds like you're waiting until the last minute to invest in an air force.

Bad idea.

I make more hummingbirds*

By default I always make at least 5 air factories building hummingbirds.

Hummingbirds being used as shields for bomber snipes works too well. Can it still be prevented? Yes. Is it as easy to counter as all of you make it out to be? Certainly not.

I am going to stick this in here and see what happens:
