[@MortarMike]

Love how the C-RAMS were really only great at shooting like 4 bugs out of the sky, they seemed pretty useless ngl. If they could switch targets or prioritize colossal targets, etc, then I'd be more excited over them, but it looked like they barely did the job of another player w/ a standard rifle. Am I wrong here?

[@aaroncoleman5539]

Nope and to be honest I think a rifle man would have done a better job

[@daleford8621]

They were OK at killing airborne bugs that were beyond visual range, but up close, it looked like they had a tough time tracking targets. The bugs close the distance so fast nothing much helps from the looks of it.

[@HappyH4x0r]

they need 2 crams and nearly 2 seconds of constant firing to kill a single bug, they looked good but they shot nerf darts

Instead of a defensive base, I wonder if you can build a sort of funnel, where you guys setup at the narrow end, let them come through the other and just shoot till ammo runs out.

[@CP-jk3tc]

I was about to comment the same. Glad I read your comment first. Well I haven't played Squad yet but I remember from the first film that these bugs can dig underground tunnels so that means they can just invade from underground. And since underground bases are much more expensive to build I guess it would be better to go for air superiority.

@@michaelpettersson4919 Not really as massive as Marauder, but much more agile. On the other hand, novel bugs were also much more intelligent, had their own spaceships and used some kind of armor piercing railguns/disintegrators that while not really that lethal they could easily punch holes in pretty much anything. Overall, both sides were massively more powerful and it was implied that they actually respected each other and it was just nothing personal war for resources and habitable planets. Other alien race were an absolute afterthought that needed to avoid stepping on the toes of those two giants.

I always wondered why the future didn't have automated turrets in the movie.

[@epiphanygunworks9893]

A lot of it had to do with deployment speed versus production speed. When they originally landed on Klandathu they didnt expect such a strong enemy. As humans, we have a tendency to underestimate other species as inferior. Regardless, we didnt go to bugs expecting to have to fight and as such we didnt equip ourselves as well as we shouldve. By the time they started rolling out Marauders is when we were better equipped. Thats part of why a majority of the battle rifles didnt have sights. They were pumped out so quickly that they didnt find them necessary for fighting bugs.

[@lifeisa.smalllesson333]

@@lifeisa.smalllesson333 In the novel theres a portion where theyre discussing how poorly the attack on Klendathu went and one of the characters mentions that if only they didnt underestimate bugs that could strategize for bugs found on earth that they wouldve been better equiped.

[@brianm744]

Few things. Some basics in fort construction. Might consider building those Hesco Bastions outside the fort in a V formation, causing a choke point in front of the fort. Choke point = enemy blocking their own advance. The dude commenting on the C-RAMs placed at the corners is a good one = overlapping fields of fire. Also, looks like there isn't "friendly fire", so build flamers in front and sides of the radio, plus build some more Hesco's in front and sides of the radio with turrets inside and out of the radio bunker. Your overall strategy is to build a layered, ablative defense. Might consider a mott and bailey construction with two walls, inner/outer rings, inner higher than outer, creating a killing ground between. I'm not sure if the game allows a double height wall, but you could try it. Place some more Hesco's inside the killing ground breaking up a constant forward advancement. Make them go around. If they are moving they aren't attacking a wall. Also, the guy suggesting mortar placement was a pretty good one, since you kept getting overrun by the heavies breaking the walls allowing the littles to get in and threaten the radio. Just some suggestions.
