DETHSTRYKER Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 its both in my eyes. It really depends on how you use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It's Special b/c it can do all three in a pinch, although its suppression capabilities are pretty lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflytank Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 i was just curious because of xcav2. their needs to be more units u can use for sniping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erion Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 There are plenty of units you can use for sniping. It's just that most of them don't have a gun quite that large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I am just sad because the Mastadon went from a sleeper CAV in CAV 1 (that being a heavy hitting CAV for medium based price tag) to one of the most expensive CAVs in version 2. Granted I will be one of the first to admit it was a bit underpriced in CAV1, but I was hoping that it would not go to the other end of the spectrum either, which unforatunately it did.

Mad Pat Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 At this time we do not have stats for a BL Dictator. Mad Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 considering they changed the way overdrive works, they did not get any dramatic point change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan6 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 its one of the most expensive because its one of the most dangerous. Mad Pat I've never seen a Mastodon come anywhere worth it's point value. I've never even made them priority targets because I've seen them be so ineffective.

butterflytank Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 ive been out of the loop since i moved out of topeka,ks, so forgive my ignorance. what in flying monkeys is the bl dictator, how much is the mastadon now, and what has changed other than cost and the additions of faction abilities? on the mastadon being useful, it works well to kill the little fast units, and to wear down the big cavs from relative safty.

Chrome Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 what in flying monkeys is the bl dictator, Back in the day, Black Lightning tournaments had a special prize for the winners, an exclusive mini. It was a Dictator with prototype Gkw 14 Gauss Cannons on them (yes, it was the forerunner to the 70 Dictator). The last ones were given away about 2 years ago when the 70 came out. what has changed other than cost and the additions of faction abilities? Lots of stuff, you'll probably need to be more specific. If you're asking specifically about models, most of them have been tweaked to make them better fit in with their faction's selection. Some had their stats boosted, some lowered, some had DT's added, some removed, etc, etc, etc. I've never seen a Mastodon come anywhere worth it's point value. I've never even made them priority targets because I've seen them be so ineffective. Ask Neil how effective a Mastodon can be Spartan. Better yet, come up to NukeCon and I'll show you.

Are you throwing down the gauntlet? I haven't looked at it really close but I'd bet an equal points cost of Banshee tanks would take a Mastodon.
