so how do you kill a bunker?

comments, suggestions, advice, step by step guide would be welcomed.

just seems that it's time to take away their land.

certainly jizz should be able to accomplish this task now seeing there's not much else to attack for their bigger players these days.

Re: attacking bunkers

Bunker with sentry or without?
They are very hard to kill...my one attack on them (Me being robo route) ended up being that bunkers are really hard to kill without the right troops 1mill bunkers vs 1.6 mill cw's and 1.2mill tyrants ended up in the bunkers stripping my armour and my flak before getting to fire...You will find it hard to kill...easier to mass. I thought i had got through until i found mass SGT's as well :D

Re: attacking bunkers

You will do well on the first tick if you can get hold of any attack dogs since they will prevent the bunkers / turrets hitting any valuable lets on the first tick.

Attack dog to flak and a firing order of 1st Health killer, 2nd armour killer will work well if they have a lot of ninjas.

If they have made the foolish mistake of just massing bunkers and having no ninjas there to flak, rpgs will do them in nicely.

Re: attacking bunkers

Attack dogs, PAs and strikers.

Attack dogs will get killed first tick hopefully, and PAs will kill ninja, while strikers take care of the nasty stuff :p

Re: attacking bunkers

the perfect combo for bunkers is one special ops and one rebel or attack dog

the attack dogs/rebels are there for lethal flak, the sa's clear the ninjas the assasins kill the bunkers you'll still take a lot of losses but its the surest way to kill them.......

Re: attacking bunkers

Sorry Blackwolf i disagree everything in bush is a balance, for the superb defensive capabilities of the route you have piss poor offense thats the route and its not overpowered it can be landed on and killed yes you'll incur losses but why should it be easy to land on a player who has made the conscious choice to give up offensive ability for defensive stability????

Re: attacking bunkers

Two of the four top 10 bunkers have been flakked... myself included... and to be honest the losses are not even that much compared to the land you get.

Re: attacking bunkers

Wanna know the easiest way?

Look at it this way most bunkers have more sentrys than bunkers so they do more health damage.
Mass amount of strikers and apaches will easily wipe out the bunker player... Garrett did it to me rounds ago, apaches clear out the ninja first tick then strikers destroy everything tick after.

If you're going to let bunkers fire on you twice then the target must have a pretty poor bunker:ST ratio :p
This round most people haven't gone for large numbers of bunkers. iirc you only had lots more ST to stop people flakking you and put off RPGs - now hardly anyone tries to flak ST with gards so that isn't an issue, and people have roughly similar ST:bunker numbers.
As other people have said, the best way to kill a bunker or ST player is the HD/AD/HD combination, preferably with flak.

Re: attacking bunkers

Charlie: I think cheese meant that compared to the cost of bunker/sentries, people have relatively more sentries (more money in sentries, in other words). Hence, they're dealing more HD than AD, and the way to kill them is to use AR.

Not that I don't agree with you, though. However, you might face some problems if you run into a guy who uses spikes instead of ninjas.

Re: attacking bunkers

Your so wrong Melni bunker is overpowered atm. Its simple fact.
How its overpowered is because of injuries.
It doubled its offencive power. Injuries smegged up whole system badly. And balance... there was no balance before injuries it was gone long time ago and after injuries its been even worst.
So im sorry but i dont agree with you.
