Hold on a sec!

The Chaos Demonic Projectile Predator beats a SM Predator 1v1, so how can a Leman Russ beat a Chaos Pred but not a SM Pred?

I think the Leman Russ is inferior to both Predators.

Anyway, to get everyone to agree, here's WA's most well-known fact... "Prisms are teh IMBA!!!11!!"

Er no, SM preds beats projectile preds with roughly half strength left.

Chaos preds have much less HP and are better suited to killing infantry. Las preds are all AV and have almost 2k more HP.

1vs1 tank strength goes like this:

1) Predator Annilahator
2) Chaos Predator (tied)
2) Leman Russ (tied)
3) Fire Prism
4) Looted Tank (killed by a Sentinel on the way to the award platform)

Hmmmm... Mirage tank > Infantry
Not to mention your forgot the grizzly tank. Tsk Tsk. :mean:

The predator wil beat the Leman Russ 1v1. But the true strength of the leman russ is it's long range.

Nyer.

Oh, and Prism/Mirage spam is the only thing you need to know about RA2. People who complain about balance in DoW should really play some RA2. DoW isn't great (it's almost awful if you play Ork), but it's so much better then some of the others.

On topic: SM pred is vastly superior to the Leman Russ (I renew my call to rename or replace either the Leman Russ or Land Raider) in an AV role; in a straight up fight, PA carries the day. HOWEVER, the LR has huge range, and if your PA's have to negotiate speedhumps within that range, they'll have a hard time of it.

Chaos predators similarly lack range on the LR, and have fewer HP. On the flip side, they're cheaper and more spammable.

Looted Leman Russ? Useless. As artillery, it appears too late in the piece, as an AV unit it's hopeless, as an anti-infantry vehicle, it is easily overrun. Why they included it in the game is beyond me -- give the orks an orky tank (bonebreaka springs to mind) that's worth having. If you've survived long enough to see it, you should be impressed with yourself.

Prism and Mirage spam? On the Egypt map...? Get outta here. Prism is ALL you need. With some Battle fortresses, crono legionaires giving u cash and new MCVs and A mass amount of Yuri mind control tanks and 700 war factories. DONE. THat is what RA2 was all about. No rush 1 hour. THen shoot at each other for 5 hours. Game ends.

Dawn of War makes this game look retarded. RA2 was fun...but 5 hr games...ugh.

move LLR to 60 ork pop and require just the orky fort and it'd probably do well, but then common sense does tend to elude the balance team.

When the IG player sucks?

Leman Russ has the longest range of any tank and is fairly good all around. If used as intented (wall of infantry infront of them), they roll right over the enemies. The Leman Russ tank isn't meant to take the brunt of the damage, but dish it out... thus why infantry is used as a buffer for the tanks.

However, I actually find the Leman Russ to be fairly resilient, as well as packing a formidable punch. I *do* like to lead with 4 (or 3 and a baneblade) and let the infantry bring up the rear.
