i dont play orks.

the barrage thou is ok. and if even the tankbusta barrage does much damage the termie one can also .. - successfully compared 8-)


The Terminator one cannot because:

1. It deals terrifying damage and knockback to infantry; it's like a back-mounted Whirlwind.
2. Terminators can do something other than firing rockets at tanks, including killing infantry and punching tanks, thanks to their power fists.


it can (deal damage) in fact it does quite well.

tankbustas cost less and are a totally different type of unit.
that means you cannot compare the units but the ability

treat it like this:

there is a good barrage ability at the ork race - so there can be a good one too at SM.

on which squad it is or what else it does is not important at the start, but in terms of damage it can be compared and should be.

if you want to go further - i would truly say the ork barrage is way better because you can get it in T2, without red, for less cost etc. bla bla but thats not the fact.

The Fact is there are other barrages in the game doin huge damage to vehicles, so SM can have one too and about this the damage of it is ok. (which is the topic)

but thats just my 2 cents.
there are3 many players thinking different, but i will not stop thinking like this.
in my opinion this is the only way to think about balance because what else can you do?
saying player x wins allways with race Y and so its a strong race is even more silly.

omg - i really hate the "dont compare, dont compare" whining ...

plz note that comparing is the only senseful way to imagine how strong something should be BECAUSE other things are simmilarly strong...

blance is comparing Races guys ... just accept ist.


They serve different purposes. Let me know about that time you used Tankbustas to tank damage and shoot up infantry.


The 2 barrages have exactly the same purpose, distruption vs infatry and good AV damage vs vehicles, both are fine and work well in what they do, though the units that have them are different and are purchased for different reasons, in the end both are perfectly fine as they are and in the roles they cover.
