Using Cruisers |
| SLOW:
Cruisers are slow. Really, really slow. But thanks to a
little bug they don't have to be. Here is how to speed
them up: select a group of cruisers and a transport,
assign them a team (ctrl+#), and put them in formation
(f). Now the cruisers will go at the same speed as the
transport, allowing you to make swifter attacks. INACCURATE: Cruisers can't aim. Well they try but aren't very good. Most often, they over or under shoot their targets. This like their speed though can be countered. If the cruisers are overfiring, then force fire at a place in front of the target (ctrl+click), and the revers if they are undershooting. DEFENSELESS: Cruisers for the most part are defenseless. They can't see subs, (though you can force fire at water) and are easy targets for air attacks. To protect your investment, you must be sure to bring some gunboats and destroyers along to protect the cruisers. |
