id say they're overpowered, 100k ST equals like 10mil! gards thats just insane and makes them like unstoppable, as 9 mil guru, 2mil of hippy/yob and 1 mil loudies couldnt even stop 36 mil mob where gurus would do around 1:5 on normal flak with geo/wheelies so that means like 45 mil mob should be a problem but 36mil with 100k stealth thiefs get trough without any trouble at all :mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: stealth thiefs

Im pretty sure that was me. (Or I was in a very similar situation)

Its a simple explaination the gurus hit the mass of the flak, which was lower than a normal ratio of guru, but stopped the bulk of flak

Now you had your yob and loudies left against my 130k stealth theifs 150k wheelbarrows and 100k geos. Simple answer I outflakked your sweepers =P

Perhaps not the most clearest explaination but hopefully it shed some light onto the situation =)

Re: stealth thiefs

If I'm spending time and money on a development then I expect it to be better than the equivalent. Stealth geos are not overpowered. They're more expensive than geos, they cost a fair bit to develop, they really don't help at all at the start of the round in terms of defence, and they fire after geos.

stealth geos are only 32 times more expensive then gards but they act as 100 times the amount in flak and they steal more then normal geos...as ladn steal unit they aint the best but as flak usage theyre overpowered

To sum this thread up, someone got upset because he loses acres so blame the units and how balenced they are.

Sounds to me like Silence was bang on the money. And tbh it sounds like Silence layered his flak pretty well, so I'm not at all suprised you didn't stop him from landing.

Get over it.

It probably was a close one though, it seems as if you didn't enough sweepers to catch them. Gurus/Hippies would stop the flak, and you'd need a lot of yobs or other late-firing units like HT's, Privates/Officers, Sd's, (any unit that fires after guru basically) to catch the geo's.

Besides that, I think Stealth Thieves are fine as they are now. :)
