Hello, I am on a mission to find a counter rush for (tank,hornet,banshee,leaders, and warthhogs). If you would like to help me then message me on Xbox. My gamertag is Get Wifi. I may make a youtube video covering it with mention of anyone who helped. thanks.
That is a ridiculously broad question. Tanks and hornets cannot be rushed (effectively) whereas leaders either have to be defended (chief) or counter attacked (arby / por).
Generally the best way to deal with hornet / banshee rushes is to deny the summit / airpad.
The best way to deal with a tank rush is to deny the depo.
The best way to deny a leader is to defend him or to counter attack and deny grav lift while shooting his pads.
Best way to deny hog rushes is to play defensively with hogs while getting out a tank (being more greedy economically) or by stacking brutes as the brute (into a later rush before depos are build), denying vision with the arby (to catch hogs) or turretting as the por while transitioning into summits (teams) or hunter/wraith (1s).
If you want to be more specific I can help.
Thats where your wrong sir. I don’t mean to be rude but I can effectively rush tanks and or hornets within a 5 to 8 min time period with forge. That is a big problem and I feel it is overpowered. I tested it on private match with three highly skilled players and took two of them out with not much effort and the third was lucky to be able to counter tanks by then. But while my tanks were attacking i quickly switched to air making units as my tanks died. I was able to defeat all of them in a matter of 10 minutes or so. So I ask again, If anyone would like to help find a counter and maybe even upload to youtube to be able to stop rushes from now on, I and the rest of the good and well skilled players left on Halo Wars would really appreciate it.

That isn’t a rush. An economical Covy opening gets a leader to your base by 3 minutes at the latest, shutting that down.
An economical UNSC opening gets hogs to your base by 3:30 at the latest.
Either of these economic openings shut down a T2 unsc boom (you cannot “rush” tech 2 units) by denying the production. You cannot go for a T2 boom vs a competent team.
Not to mention thata temple 2nd or reactor 2nd will outright win vs such a greedy opener.
A “Fast” tank gets out depo 6th which is ~3:30 but 1 arbiter can shut down any early tanks until canister or 3+ tanks are on the field. Tanks have no offensive pressure whereas hornets are vastly outclassed by banshees and don’t counter micro’d tanks.
Not to be mean but you have no idea what you’re talking about. Tanks have no place in 3s on any map but Deen and aren’t viable on ~3 of the 2v2 maps. Hornets are viable on none of the maps, ever. If you’re not a 45TS or higher, you’re not close to being “mediocre” at wars.
If you can, I would like you to add me on xbox so we can further discuss this. I do understand what your saying but, If I am playing normal and just building my economy I would not have any units to defend from a full tank assault by 6-8 minutes. Again my Gamertag is Get Wifi.

If you register on the site you can chat in the shout, ask questions or find other hw players. I personally don’t get on wars much anymore but there are still a ton of good players who are on daily.
The halowars community has migrated away from waypoint long ago and mostly casual or people who don’t understand RTS games are on here.
