Don't let TANKS snowball! This is what happens if you do | Mechabellum

[@OneDeadPixle]

Never go HE Storm Callers into mass Sledge, they just get outscaled like crazy. As soon as your opponent locks in double tech on Sledgies, that is the que to sell out of Storm Callers and pivot into Scorpion+chaff spam.

[@stivraptor]

I feel like every mecha player climbing in the ladder eventually faces the sledge wall, underestimates it and learns a lesson afterwards. I have been there myself. I actually never found scorps as a good response to stop this tempo unless you drop them very early. Thanks for sharing this game!

[@IamZnart]

If there is one thing I've learned as a standard player . Carry sledge counters storm callers. Anytime i see more than 4 sets of tanks go down. I instantly start selling my storms to build chaff, chaff clear and scorps. The sledges just out scale the storms (not that you even want to scale storms too much anyway) and the sledges are to spread for the storms to get enough consistent shots off before the sledges are just mowing you down.

[@SammywiseG]

I'm surprised you didn't go into boats or multi-melters.

[@BetaKrogoth]

Sorry Stoney but I was betting on the sledges. Sledges love, sledges life. People always underestimate them. Sledges with rage and AT rounds + levels are absolutely lethal and never respected.

[@stoneymechabellum]

Tank is life

[@alexwood9941]

Another consideration would be forts with punch, they can really just obliterate tank lines like they are nothing

[@KrisRoxas]

I had that last night, it was satisfying except for when my forts were EMP'd

[@oddz01]

Oh Stoney... you must join me on the darkside. SLEDGE FOR LIFE.

[@stoneymechabellum]

Show me the path, Master Oddious

[@oddz01]

perhaps I’ll make a guide soon…

[@LuminairPrime]

Round 7 is the first point that doesn't make sense to me because the shields cost so much more than the bombard. If the bombard was that good, you should have just taken it yourself, right? Thank you for sharing another great learning match!! 👏👏👏

[@holyTripleSix]

no launcher overload for the storms? feel like that helps with countering missile defense

[@JaimeWarlock]

I don't think it would have helped in this situation, he got slaughtered at the end.

[@Spade444]

Wa surprised to not see any scorps stoney, were you mostly counting on the HE storms for the tank clear hence doubling down into them?

[@stoneymechabellum]

Yep. A painful lesson to learn here

[@Spade444]

@stoneymechabellum happens to us all, something kinda cool albeit still an underwhelming unit. The tarantula he splash change makes then kinda decent at destroying sledge packs. Not of course as effective as a scorp but neat to test against bots to not put mmr on the line.

[@therealbahamut]

Is that a "they are billions" icon up there??

[@JaimeWarlock]

Yes, the main one.

[@erikhaase5905]

tanks boats push everygame since idk 6 days it pisses me of =(

[@MusicReign]

I don't like to be that critical as my MMR is a little bit lower than yours. But you surely missplayed that game Stoney. I don't understand why you would go AM against only two SCs. He wasn't committed yet into the SCs and could just sell them after you bough the AM tech. Also buying more SCs yourself didn't make any sense. At that point you needed an answer against the three tech Sledgies and SCs with HE definitely ain't it.

[@darune4610]

Exactly this, I'm just sitting here like wtf is this guy doing and I'm nowhere near 2k mmr. He sees him teching tanks, ignores the leveled steelballs in favour of the useless typhoons, buys level 1 SC??? and techs them instead of anything actually good against tanks. It's like he was trying to lose

[@stoneymechabellum]

100% I've been having some bad encounters with sledges recently

[@montyalb8788]

IMO, I think I might have leveled the orange man across from the armored tanks on round 6 because of the number of shots required. I think personally have a perhaps misplaced instinct to start tossing missiles the moment I see an enemy putting down new Sledgehammers. I ended up in a similar situation of storms vs sledge and steamrolled by the tanks the moment they started getting levels.

[@SteveB-nx2uo]

vs tanks and fangs you should double down into early storm callers. slow moving units get demolished by artillery big fan of the channel but dang you made a lot of mistakes this game bub I think the round you really sealed your fate was when you went into typhoons and farseers. that large investment nets you nothing then going into storm callers only AFTER he spams anti missile devices? what is your thinking there? overwhelm them?

[@YellowMoo]

Weak game
