Really struggling online, I’ve played a few, had one or two good games, but most of the time I get absolutely rolled, I’m trying to do things fast, but I’ll have a couple of tanks and get absolutely sat on by a full army of hawks!
Any tips that can help me out a bit? I really enjoy playing but doing this I’m not really learning anything!
Thanks.
It may be your macro. I can give you some builds but I need to know who you play as.
I use UNSC mostly, and usually Forge, but that’s only because the heavy supply pads thus far have made it easier to last longer than 2 minutes, so I’m not too fussy who I use.
Forge Tank Builds
Canny sell build
Sp, sp, sp, sp, reactor, reactor, vehicle depo, upgrade 250 reactor, buy canny, sell 500 reactor, vehicle depo, double pump tanks
hogs to tanks
2 warthogs and build two supply pads, once you get enough buy another warthog, reactor, sp, when reactor is up upgrade gunner, sp —> use warthogs to attack defend rushes, fortress, reactor, vehicle depo
Somewhat pro build
2 warthogs and build two supply pads, once you get enough buy another warthog, reactor, sp, when reactor is up upgrade gunner, sp —> use warthogs to clear a base, buy base,------> use warthogs to attack defend rushes------> upgrade main base according to supplies (ex 600 by time base is up then yes, 300 by time base is up no) two supply pads expo and 1 sp main + reactor, vehicle depo expo, upgrade expo, reactor expo, sp, when reactor comes up buy canny, upgrade expo to fortress, reactor, vehicle depo, when reactor comes up buy power turret and sell 1000 dollar reactor and buy sp, continue to double pump tanks an possibly anti air.
These builds require you to collect as many crates as you can. This is all from memory so if I made a mistake feel free to point it out and to everyone else, feel free to post other builds. Enjoy.

There is a way to pump tanks out really fast from two bases at the beginning of the game, and it leaves you with a better economy. I will tell how later because I don’t have much time right now.

There is no difference do you sell the first (250 supply) or second (500 supply) reactor. You will get 250 from that if you had 2 reactors (upgraded or not).
Thanks for the informative post. I used to play as Forge but changed to Anders. I have to try these on 1v1.
the best tip of all for teams is to have a mic.
in 3v3 you will almost always want a second base ASAP as UNSC to maximise your economy and tank production.

is pretty much the basics of forge tank builds.
you could always go for hornets instead. do the canny sell build but just build and upgrade hornets instead.
Thanks for all these, I’ll give them all a go, at least I have some direction now

Actually 250 reactor will get you 125. 500 will get you 250.

No. There is no difference do you sell the reactor which cost you 250 or 500. You will get 250 back. If you do not believe me, try it. I already did.
For example if reactors A, B and C are build in that order, they cost you A=250, B=500 and C=750. If you then sell ANY of those reactors, you will get half the supplies the last one cost. That is 750/2 = 375. There is no difference do you sell the A, B or C.
Even the upgrading of the reactors does not matter.
The supplies you get back from reactor is always “125 x reactor_count”, where reactor_count is reactor build in your base(s) (upgraded or not).

Never really tried playing as forge, always considered him somewhat the weaker of the UNSC leaders in terms of bonuses, Not least as in nearly every match i’ve played with someone as forge on my team i’ve ended up collecting more resourses over the course of the game. But i’ll practise that build against the AI (Automatic 146). I normally play with a simmilar build with anders which works quite well, though what units i build with it depends on who i’m facing and what my scouting tells me about wat they’re building
forge is all about the mid game. if your playing as forge and you fail to either destroy or put the enemy far behind then you will probably lose. you will lose 90% of the time if you get the grizzly upgrade. only get grizzly for giggles when the enemy is far behind.
