Taking down Pelicans in HW

Games Halo Wars Series
1

I like to play with the Prophet of Regret and I’m pretty good with him. When I play against UNSC players, I know they like to have their Pelicans retreat their units, like Spartan tanks. I learned that I can easily take down these Pelicans as they fly back into their base, ultimately destroying the unit being carried by the Pelican, which works as a great tactic to take down those high starred spartans.

I want to know what should I go with to take down the Pelicans? I can see them coming but my Prophet is too slow to chase the Pelicans. Should I have two banshees close by the battlefield or one or two Vampires? Banshees have boost but idk how well their damage ratio would be? Most of my gameplay is land units, so I can only spare two or one flying units for my Prophet.

Vampires are anti-air and would serve your purpose better.

yes it turned out that i can use the stasis ability from long range. not only that, but the stasis immobilizes enemy air units, meaning that they wont be able to move! one vampire might be all that i need haha

but how many pelicans does it take to retreat three tanks?

It’ll take 2 I believe. It’s been a little while since I played last.

I used to do that tactic to my friends all the time. They usually had a counter attack though XD

Controlling pelicans was in the halo wars alpha.
