Which one do people think is better? Personally I like the arty just a little bit more because its shells dont crash into stuff for no reason or loop crazily like the MLRS rockets do sometimes. Also, it dosent fire in volleys.

They're good early because they're soo much cheaper than tanks.

MRLS are too easy to pick apart, IMO. I prefer artillery because they are much more acuurate and have a much shorter munimum range.

You escort your MRLS/ARTY with tanks to deal with snipers and vehicles.

They're useful because they're so effective against buildings.

I've seen them used very well against tanks in the Field map. They sit at one end of the field and keep the enemy pinned in their base. Tank come out= boom.

MRLS/Arty are very good tank cover because some people are too afraid to come out of base in fear of gettin pounded before they reach their target. Smile

The MRLS/ARTY are artillery units and should never be used alone. They should be behind your front line providing support for the tanks in front (and of course pounding buildings).

And I like the arty most. Smile

Artillery has tougher armor from my experience. The splash damage with the Arty seems to be a bit larger than the MLRS missles, but since you have 6 missles to fire off with an MLRS, it's easier to track in on moving vehicles and infantry.

Occaisionally, MRLS rockets seem to track their targets...seems odd.

Definitely Arty. Better single-shot damage, but mostly the TURRET. I can't see a damn thing driving an MRLS.

Just like in real combat artillery has it's place and it usually is pounding stuff and providing support. It is when not used properly that it doesnt work well.

Put arties with techs and SNIPERS on the other side of any field and it will own all of GDI armor before it can even get close. The snipers are important to counter those pesky Havocs and Deadeyes that will chew up the art if not protected.

I don't care much for MRLS as they have limited or random capability in firing to the side if someone flanks you.

Damn mrls missiles follow you how the hell do they do that?

Arty is not very accurate at all. But it can hold its own against aggresors. If an MRLS gets someone on their ass then no more MRLS. Rifle infantry just one will womp any MRLS. Arty can womp most little infantry. It also helps to have an independant turret.

In Hourglass, its better to use MRLS because of the arcing rockets capability over the hills

Negative.

MLRS has the offensive capability. If they are used correctly, you won't be able to accurately fire back due to incoming fire bracketing your position. Not to mention that little trick MLRS's can do...........

I do like the Artillery for pinpoint accuracy though, and if you want to kill a Mammoth tank, they do the job nicely.

Hm.. I like MRLS more, because it is very effective against every unit when it is covered by 2 mediums. So my tactic is 1 MRLS + 2 Mediums and Arty + even 2 light tanks - bad idea.
