3.5: Spying on the Enemy | [Back to the WarGuide]
When playing multi-player it's always important to know exactly what your enemy is doing. So build a radar-jammer, and a valchry (the one that carries units) grab the radar-jammer with the valchry, and send it relatively near your enemies base, drop it off and send the valchry over their base. This serves 2 purposes: 1) You see your enemies defense. 2) It gets rid of any evidence that you were near his base. (He will probably think you were attempting a commander capture). Fly an Adv. Con. Jet to the spot where the radar-jammer is and build an Adv. Radar Tower. If you are playing on a large map it is very difficult to find the tower, and many players will never know of its existence. Also, you can build a mobile radar unit, and a jammer unit, and send them relatively close to your opponent's base. Just be sure not to trigger his defenses, and if the terrain plays right, you can also hide them behind trees. Don't forget though that you can also construct other units other than a radar tower too. My favorite is a Bertha, which I execute this tactic on a large map, so it can shoot the enemy's base.
