    Apparently infantry can only effectively counter burster MAXes. Alrighty then.

    I think Air is the rock, It smashes paper, pinning it to the ground.

    And it crushes scissors.

    No input on which the other two are, just know Air>Both.

    Uhhh...
  5. LameFox

    Is that not what the arrows imply?

    Theres two ways your post can be interpreted, clarify

    Aircraft > Everything

    Yeah I think you failed to factor in Engineers instant gibbing ground vehicles with Mines. Or lock on anti-air launchers. Granted every Pilot ever has flares out of necessity but they don't stick around after they use them cause of the huge cooldown.

    Air counters Skyguard?

    Its Rock (AP Tank), Paper (Infantry), Scissors (HE Tank) and Spock (Aircraft). Spock beats them all.

    If it's a Lib they hang around, and farm hundreds of infantry kills. And when they get low they just fly off, repair and come straight back for more farming.

    infantry can effectively counter themselves. but the vehicles have already blown them to smithereens.

    Bad play is a counter to itself

    You include arrows for planes/vehicles countering themselves, etc. Infantry point solely to the AA MAX.
  15. JimRussle

    Infantry don't counter themselves with the exception of maybe the mana turret or dual cyclers for max. By contrast tanks can equip anti tank weapons and air can do AA

    lol? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of infantry weapons are anti-infantry.

    You forgot Lizard (MAX)

    You got the skyguard part right.

    Do you understand what a counter is?
  20. LameFox

    Do you? A tank equipping antitank weapons is something you consider a counter, an ESF with air-to-air weapons is something you consider a counter... but infantry who almost universally have anti-infantry weapons (exclusively for killing other infantry, besides what little they do to ESFs and flashes) don't counter themselves? A class like the infiltrator, which can't so much as equip C4, and acts almost purely in an anti-infantry asymmetrical warfare role... not a counter to infantry?
