Metamidion vs Gat Artemis Pyramidion.

<< < (3/3)

Kamoba:
Actually spoke about this last night, playing solo is high risk in exchange for the chance of high reward play, you take the risk of being part of a team that cannot operate, in exchange for the chance to be rewarded by meeting awesomenauts. (How I met most of my friends \o/ )

So its more like a fruit machine than anything else. 8)

Dementio:
I feel like a discussion about ship vs ship should also take the 2v2 concept into account. Any ship that gets into a better position will win, but what I meant was that it is easier to rise above an Artemis than it is to rise above a Mortar and staying below a Gat/Art Pyramidion is far more forgiving than staying below a Metamidion which will be able to outright kill you when you do that. Because of the Artemis the Gat/Art Pyra could be able to stop the enemy from escaping if it manages to get the engines in time, but at the same time the Gat/Mortar could actually get a kill. On a 2 dimensional plane in 1v1 head on, Gat/Art would win, if the gunner is able to hit.

Taking allies into account:
Gat Art will only then stop a ship from moving when it gets a clear shot on the engines. It will not be able to reliably destroy or the enemies front guns or the side gun that are shooting the Pyras ally. In this scenario the Gat/Art can happiely disable everything, but is not going to quick enough to actually save his ally. It will have even less ability to do so when the Gat/Art Pyra gets shot by something else as either its armor is taking damage or the balloon and thus one explosive gun, which is probably either Artemis or Banshee will often enough not be enough to kill the target quickly.

Compared to that the Metamidion can stop a ship from moving by simply killing it, doesn't have to bother to destroy front guns in order to make a ship stop shooting because it can just kill the ship. When a Metamidion's armor gets damaged, the Mortar is going to shoot just fine and when the balloon gets destroyed, the Mortar has arcs for longer than the Artemis.

If you want that Artemis disable for your ally in medium to close range, one would take a Hwachafish instead.
