Hi
I've played some Marine Matches now, and i think, Consortium is imbalanced.
The normal Ship only cost $2000 and you just have to build mass of them and 1 visby and 1 taifun...
I think you have no chance to counter this mass ships, because they are more effective then us or tft ships are...
The invisible Plane from CST ist senseless and too expensive, but that doesnt matter by the strengt of the other forces.

sorry, what you mean ? What can those ships do
? Attack land bases or what ? Or do they just own other marine forces ?

They are not that inbalanced, as the early CST ships can not counter missiles and are completely useless against submarines.

yes, they are completly useless against submarines, but that doesnt matter...
they own evry ship and if you have teched, you've no chance!!

That is you DO have a chance cause you should just build a Sub.

If your not willing to try out a new strategy, then stop asking for them.

CST lack's a good anti-submarine early in the game, and also they don't have alot of aircraft compared to US and CST. Their sea shadows only carry 1 aircraft compared to the others, but sea shadows also half in cost and are stealthed.

So go submarines and aircraft against him. If he's building alot of bisons to counter your aircraft missiles, go after it with submarines. It's all about knowing what he's building so you can counter it with your forces.

I don't suppose one of you guys could give a breakdown of the new Consortium units, including naval for those of us who still have to wait a bit?

Though i haven't played game yet, im sure that cst isnt overpowered. If their early corvetes have no antisub weapons, you surely need to go Los Angeles. And if you say that you will need to tech up to do this - remember, that he needs to tech up either to get visbys.
By the way, what are naval unit requirements for cst? Just curious.

Both US and TFT have submarines earlygame.
Whereas CST have NO anti submarine earlygame.
And in CST mirrors... how can that be unbalanced.

So I don't see what's the problem.

The problem appears to be that this guy is refusing to change his tactics, and asked for new ones, while ignoring them as they come.
