It wasn't a slaughter It was practice. My tanks vs your grenadiers. Still. It taught me a valuable lesson about balance. I'll never forget it....
So what's the consensus on grenadiers vs. tanks then? Stat wise, it makes sense that the T1 tanks do well against grenadiers on flat terrain, no? Maybe if you give the tanks combat fabbers?
Infernos + combat fabbers with tank support will destroy most anything T1. Grenadiers are so lethal because they only cost 90 metal apiece - which means it's easy to spam a lot of them really fast. Two bot factories at 100% eff. producing grenadiers can pump out a large force every 45 seconds or so. Enough that you should be concerned for your commander.
Infernos are how you stop grenadiers. If you jsut send in ants, you'll probably lose, blob v blob. One on one, ants usually eat them up, but in larger groups, grenadiers are almost unstoppable. You need the infernos to soak up the damage with combat fabs actively tanking them. Combat fabs can help the ants, but not near as much as the inferno combo.
