Because if anti INN units targeted both geos and gardies equally, flakking would be null and void.
Gurus target all innocents which means the differing stats and differing amounts of the geos versus gardies affects how much the guru distracts.
You were just unlucky it seems.
also sorcs and golems wud be kick ass..
i thought id throw my ten cents in, but as the explanation has been given yobs not in large enough quantities to fully sweep the wheelies. id like to mention hippies armour stripping ability.
before bunkers targeted "LET|All" and when this was the case flaking a bunker although painful could be done with the right assisting units and some tractors. to prevent this tractor flaking people in the know would buy up massively on hippes to go with thier other units (as spikes and sgt like the all targeting of the bunker sentries, were not specifically hitting the geos through the other crap was there.not just innnocents but all sorts werwe helping flak). hippies did infact do enough AD specifically targeting the innocents, to hit some of the geos through the tractors (as the targeting isnt unit by unit as mentioned but by the group )
so after bunker spikes and sentries mopped up most of the regular gardeners, leaving some miscilaneous units that werent innocent, and tractors and geos enough hippies could target the geos through the flak (tractors expensive) and do enough AD to allow SGT and yobs to sweep more effecively. As yobs & sgt target HD more than AD and u all know from the manual u cant stop/kill a unit till its AD is gone by stripping through the tractors the unit could be stopped
hence hippy help you stop the geos. even if you didnt stop all the tractors. highly effective. so in summation hippies do a tiny bit more AD than than most other "basics". and more than the amount of HD they do leaving some innocents partially or fully stripped. (even gurus for example dont have enough AD for all thier potential HD and do better when assited by excess hippy AD/stripping) hippies are infact very useful in some situations...not so much now.. and nopjes is right. (even if he lacked thorough explanation)
ofc people see guru get 1:5 why bother with that extra armour stripping when cost for cost mass guru works better 99% of the time.....unless your perhaps facing CG flak.....cats out the bag now
