If it's iraq vs iraq and they build a flak track and put an engineer and terror drone in it and go by my mcv and deploy, etc. What should I do?

This happened to me recently and I didn't know what to do. I don't think I could build wall around my con yard fast enough and I couldn't kill the flak track before it got to my base. Should I sell the MCV? What should I do? Thanks for your help.

wall ur mcv before he does it

[Fotjes]

Make drone before u make miner. Make sure u scout good at the beginning of the game. Drone flak and gg.
If he does reach the con. Make sure u got sentry ready, deploy it pointing towards the exit of the flak. If u still have ur scoutdogs, move them up to your con so the drone will be distracted, attacking your dog and get shot by sentry.

or as a last resort if u dont want to do all those things just make a depot when u see him creating a engi+drone+flak. then when drone gets in MCV repair it

[JoHn0wNsU]

it would take to long to do that and by the time u repaired it he will hav tanks also watse of money

Sell mcv, connies kill engie and drone
save (even gets) u cash too

[krackas]

i would try bringing all my war miners near my con yard. Sometimes it will work where you can kill the engi w/ the miner and the miner will be droned. The last thing you want to do as Sovs is get that thing droned, so don't redeploy it. You can save the miner maybe, if not then just build more miners. It hurts you but it hurts him inorder to engi rush too. That's my best advice and it's worked for me when I used to use Sovs. And if your playing YR, why not use battle bunkers?

[Soepgroente]

If you don't see it coming (no walls, no drones and flak is nearby already), drive a tank nearby asap, the drone will autotarget your tank and then you're safe to undeploy your mcv. Sure you lost a tank ($800) but he lost a flak, drone and engineer ($500 ×3) so he loses more money. The building you were making is cancelled, but I don't think it's a bad tradeoff.

[krackas]

That would take very fast reflexes, but then all ways need fast reflexes. And even if that's succesful, what's stopping the engi from getting something else?

QUIT

[armin]

try droning his flack or even kill his flack with your tanks. You can also easy kill his engie by holding ALT and clicking on the engie, the tanks will over- ride the engie.

You do have a tank there, and an engi is squished quick, if not squished then shot in 5 shots or so, the only thing he'll ever reach is a power plant, make sure you sell it on time, then your conscripts will kill the engi. Won't be needed 90% of the time tho.

Drone his flak like an hell or prepare a sentry and be fast in targeting his engi. ANyway the best way to counter this **** trick is to scout his base, search for any flaks and or engis , that is the omen of that trick. Just prepare one or 2 drones in the most important points ( i.e. : bridges, pinch points, etc ) and drone him like and hell, it will be a gg

[punk1005]

Drones are good to build anyways. A more expensive scout, also can eat engi's really well. I would recommend drones, you can build it before it get's there usually, and if you see it coming, you can already have it ready, and once you drone the flak, you can go for miners hopefully. =]

[Chrisev]

engi is the game ... if it passes he own ... if it misses its rush engineer it the part loses ... its a dangerous tactic

[JoHn0wNsU]

its a dangerous tactic

also a nubish tactic

[death_seeker]

if you want to get better at the nubish tactic, play a skirmish game gainst brutal enemy, keep doing till your good at it because it is hard to do.

Also try n get a war factory

[FReQuEnZy]

when his got the flak near ur mcv with the engi out sell ur mcv

most of the times its fun to just bring a flak trak near ur opponents mcv and see them sell it

either build a drone and drone the flak b4 it gets to u or build a 3 or 5 dogs and leave em near ur mcv.

mcv enging aint that good really mostly i go for warfac has a larger effect on the game

if its a long game and some1 tryes it late in-game then just have a few desolators near ur mcv.

another good way to avoid it is build a sentry gun or a billbox behind ur mcv
where ur opponent cant see it!

i always think that building a wall can take too long and is a waste of money!!

[joey]

If i engi is never at the begining of the game.. i usually make my miners etc first theb\n engi that way i wont lose if it fails...

[zzattack]

do it during tank fights for bigger succes rate

[cOolio]

if he trys to engi ur mcv an theres no way u can stop it sell the mcv make as much tanks and fodder as pos and rush him
