I've attacked turrets before with acid's and it did nothing. Are you sure they hurt buildings?

ESG, you can escape most damage from acid cloud if you are along the inside edge of the cloud/ half in half out

ESG is a sure hit to any vehicles within the tiles

Ya they hurt buildings lol you just need masses of them


Mostly i like acid for that sizzeling bacon sound they make after they hit some thing lol

But ESG is a good one because of its better damage potenial

Although it can't hurt buildings, I like ESG because others can't see very well where the mines are. So if they move their vehicles sometimes it's hard to tell where the ESG hit, one false step and you might send an army of RPG to their death.

I like ESG for the fact that the guard posts remind me of toast.

there is no half in op2. op2 has tiles, your either in the field of damage or not.

Lev, he's talking about the edge of the acid cloud.  You get less damage from the edge of the cloud then from the center of it.

correct, whereas with ESG every tile in the effect area does the same ammount of damage

also the units can get out of the cloud better

I think acid looks cooler, its this huge red cloud, esg, you see some blinking dots, or nothing

ESG can be a useful hidden weapon, as your opponents won't know it's there if they don't see the blast

I have not found the ESG to be very damaging exept to scouts but the acid can be very bad to a tiger

esg to a s*** load of damage and his more efficent while used properly than acid cloud (used like the stickyfoam) you aim at ground just before the target splash will hit it and he will auto react charging you thus damage more unit ... while you can escape :P

I like ESG for the simple fact that you don't slaughter your own units with it. Although, acid cloud is much more fun to use against spiders.

ESG is going to be the king but the sound of sizzeling bacon is hard to beat

esg rapes lynx seriously; i belive its 3-4 mines and their toast. its rly handy to baricade urself in bases as well, you can just set up a few lynx at the entrances to ur base and anything coming in is raped.

I like to build up inside a canyon with one or two narrow entrances, and assign either 32 ESG tigers to each one, or do a super rush
