Re: NERF CHEMBUGGY
by ShinerplundererOriginal Post
Sure, and I can do it without degrading myself to childish insults too 
Check my game vs El Lea, I'll even throw it in my fav for you so it doesn't get erased. It ended up coming down to my massed lasers and stealth tanks vs his chem buggies and scorpion tanks, both level 10. My goal was to use stanks to kill his chem buggies and my lasers vs his scorpions. His goal was to use chem buggies to invalidate my lasers and his scorpions to muscle out my stealth tanks.
However, I was able to use positioning and defenders advantage to get the win. Wasn't my stanks because I only managed to finish off damaged chem buggies that would have died vs the next laser squad they engaged anyways, never actually sniped any full HP ones, and it wasn't because his scorpions, because he did well with them, hunting down most of my stanks. So it boiled down to chem buggy vs lasers. And indeed, for the final nuke, it was 2 of my lasers that muscled his chem buggy off the middle pad for the win.
He killed 7 (140 tib) laser squads with 5 (300 tib) of chem buggies. Hardly an overwhelming victory for the chem buggy wouldn't you say?
Problem with the chem buggy is it can't be played like this. It can't be your solution to infantry. It's a supplement. You tank with a different unit and bring in a chem buggy for a drive by while the other unit tanks the damage. Straight up chem buggy vs infantry is a losing battle. And with mutant marauders and grenadiers slowly replacing lasers/rockets in specialized decks you are going to have a harder and harder time making chem buggies dominant in the match.
The #1 mistake people make with chem buggy is they think chem buggies go in war factory decks. But that's the worst time to use them. Put them in infantry or air decks where the enemy builds less units to counter vehicles and more for anti-infantry and air. That is when the chem buggie can shine. It is a very specialized unit that when played poorly can easily lead to a defeat. If El Lea used rifles/flames/chem trooper instead of the buggie he stood a strong chance of beating me since his scorpion out muscled my stealth tank and could win the war factory game. All I could do was hold on with laser squads, and it actually got me the win. And this was credits blitz, so you know we were both giving it our all.
So there is my justification for not being OP. Now tell me yours =)
