Wargear overperforming?

Postby Element » Tue 17 Dec, 2019 5:13 am

The force commander in terminator armor is literally, singling whole armies of normal infantry.
The Meltagun from the techmarine is like 5 shoting dreadnoughts with decent support.
Can someone please look into these wargear items.

FC termie is nerfed to heavy armour so just use plasma.

TM melta is short range so you shouldn't have trouble hitting it with your Dread or focusing him with your support.

Not every faction has plasma damage. Orks have literally no counter to the guy let alone a single squad of nobs. and psychic damage from the gitz which would be tied up immediately.

What kind of twisted logic is this?
You could also say that melta tm is super useless cus he *would be tied up immediately*

Calling a unit useless because YOU as a player gets tied up is just lul. Gits melt threw most sm units like butter.

Will back that up (I know im not super skilled) but Gitz will tear through powered armour like butter. Lost a group of plague marines and rubrics so fast id barely time to retreat. So, id say the Termy FC is dealable.

the thing is SM struggles for T2 so just play properly.

and TM melta in general is not so dreadful. Try to kill chimera with meltagun and you'll see.
But when it connects with Orb of omnissiah and Sternguards and meltabomb... ah, that's hole SM roster! so maybe it's not melta you struggle versus? :))

And just don't use dread - use something faster to avoid melta.

Terminator armor for the force commander not only a t3 wargear but removes any other wargear that he brought early or you just don't get wargear till t3 and since when does force commander not get telehammer build instead? So no its fine

As for the melta gun for the tech marine since when does it 5 shot dreads aka its fine.
Forums great more stuff to talk about.

Melta gun is short range and it does 75 damage per hit to a vehicle. 1300hp dread takes 18 hits 1200hp dread takes 16 hits. 1000hp dread takes 14 hits. So no 5 hit Dread kills.

Solo TM takes over 30 seconds to kill 1k hp dread.

Termi FC is just bad most of the time. You lose all the levels and wargear while get HI which gets rekt by power melee, normal melee, plasma, psychic and inferno compared to the commander armor of normal FC.

You went from beating solid mid-tier players to losing to low tier russians, think about your playstyle first before putting the blame on other things.
