2.3: Defending Against Big Berthas | [Back to the WarGuide]
The following strategies can aid you in the destruction of/defense from the Big Bertha. Keep in mind that these tactics can also be applied to the CORE's Intimidator as well. 1) Don't let your opponent build them in the first place. 2) Build a bunch of anti-radar to minimize his targeting ability. 3) Build Nuke capability under anti-radar cover and then Nuke him down. 4) Kill Aircraft scouts - build a mix of missle and flak weapons for air cover. 5) Send in a mix attack force of heavy k-bots, missle k-bots and tanks with radar and anti-radar cover to take the Berthas out 6) Send in aircraft in a wave of scouts, a wave of fighters and 2 waves of bombers (preferably adv. types) to take out Berthas and their power source. Special Note: Without power large weapons can't fire. Destroy his power plants using small raids. Additional Note: Always set up long range mobile weapons under anti-radar, then send in scouts to act as spotters.
