Deadeye31_pff Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 sorry, man, I think all you can do is shoot the bombers before they get to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron_Fel Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Everything has its countermeasure.For anti-starfighter in space there is the tartan for the Imps and the blockade runner for the rebs.On the ground there are AA units each side can bring and build pads which can build different types of turrets and stuff.

Technically the word "countermeasures", when applied to small vehicles like fighters and bombers, refers to devices mounted on the vehicle to defeat sensor lock by an enemy fighter or incoming missle. Real world counterparts are flares, chaff, and active jamming pods. I don't believe the fighters or bombers in EAW need countermeasures since it doesn't look like missles are the primary fighter/bomber killers. What you are referring to are "counters". The Tartan, Blockade Runner, and AA units are "counters" to fighters and bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noian Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Interdictor can disable/block bombers missles/others missles for a while(spec. Abil.).Tartan cruisers can take out fighter squadrons very fast.Or you can just send fighters of your own.The Blockaderunner and its cousin are good anti-ties as well as the nebulon.Antifighters are easy...you just have to know what to use! http://www.lucasforums.com/images/avatars/tiedefender.jpgMay the force be with you, always. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/susangillan/EDF-Avatar-X-Wing.jpg http://www.userbars.com/galerie/images/files/3/4/ffuser.jpghttp://www.pixelpwnage.com/sigs/grouptag.jpg.Check for Updates!...Imperial Assault II Mod for Empire at War!!.....Empire at War Nexus, Modding for a Galaxy Far Far Away!!!.......Use the Spell Check Feature People!!!!.........International Battlefront Clan!!!!!.....

Necro Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 chaff and stuff would work for say missiles..but ion cannon..lasers? theres no countermeasures for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noian Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 chaff and stuff would work for say missiles..but ion cannon..lasers? theres no countermeasures for that! Strong shields would do. Also, I found the transports to be uber strong in shields so I would use them as decoy for the lasers while I destroy the Captiol ship, then let it recharge the shields, repeat. http://www.lucasforums.com/images/avatars/tiedefender.jpgMay the force be with you, always. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/susangillan/EDF-Avatar-X-Wing.jpg http://www.userbars.com/galerie/images/files/3/4/ffuser.jpghttp://www.pixelpwnage.com/sigs/grouptag.jpg.Check for Updates!...Imperial Assault II Mod for Empire at War!!.....Empire at War Nexus, Modding for a Galaxy Far Far Away!!!.......Use the Spell Check Feature People!!!!.........International Battlefront Clan!!!!!.....

Megajames Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 in Dark Lord: rise of Darth Vader the seperatits use anti laser arosol that disrupts laser fire, usless in space (vacum) but good on ground The republic did stop the arosol later on in the battle Evacuate, in our moment of triumph. I think you overestimate their chances. Please can you post a comment on My clone story, in fan fiction. http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=2306.0 (\_/)(O.O)(> <) This is Bunny.
