How to counter SP Artillery?

My opponent always places it’s SP Artillery around the point so that whenever I capture it, my unit gets destroyed or takes a lot of damage...

How do I counter this? He really doesn’t fight with anything else than SP Artillery, sometimes combined with Anti Air.

Thanks :)

other artillery

or airunits

or just catch him when he enters your territory; since he then gets a -50% speedpenalty you should get them pretty easily

Good points! ... And if he's near one of your capital ships (e.g. battleship or cruiser) just expose him to some naval bombardment ... :thumbup:

If he doesn’t have many anti air, then a strong air force is the best tool you have.

Once he adds significant AA to his SP Artillery groups you will have to rush at them with light tanks or maybe medium tanks. You need speed in order to close the distance and engage before he gets very many shots off. Cities of course will require mech or moto infantry to conquer in this lightning advance

but you get a -50% speed penalty in enemy terrain so this is pretty much suiciding if he's active :D

Remember that he will have his artillery destroy the naval units as some naval units are weaker than artillery

Agree. In this game, destroyers are one of those units weaker than artillery. And as I said before: 'if he's near one of your capital ships (e.g. battleship or cruiser) just expose him to some naval bombardment' ...

Most units at the beginning already have AA guns with them, use interceptors to check before attacking with the bombers.

Let's be honest, you can't really fight SPA... when your enemy has them, you' re just doomed.

Bombers work for me though. I have pushed him back. And I don’t use any artillery

Rockets... I am telling you if they stacked up rockets will reck them

not if they're moving

and spa is fast

SPA when it is bombarding is considered stationary

8 Apr 2020, 16:33

true; but it only needs to be stationary for a second until it used it's tick

you dont let it sit there without any supervison

drop a paratrooper on a stack, which freezes him and then unload rockets on him

Expensive solution! Your paras will surely die.

Its hard to produce don't waste them.

Yes paratroopers take a while to produce anyways,with all the building requirements. It would be an endgame solution if you can really call it a solution :tumbleweed:

Ill pass this solution

There are many ways to counter SP Artillery:

The best one is probably Railroadgun, specially for the range, but they're a bit slow & costly to produce.

However, normal Artillery, SP Artillery, Rocket Artilleries & sometimes even SP Rocket Artillery are good enough to counter them.

Apart from these, there is Air force, that can do the most damage in the least possible time, but, if the enemy stack has anti air units good enough to counter your Air Force, then it'll be a serious problem.

And, the last option you have is spamming lots of fast Armored Cars or Light Tanks or Mech infantry or Motorized infantry units at forced march to deal the highest possible damage.
