Copter vs. Locusts

[Sim_One]

Now I find this to be a tricky comparison, but I have to give Copter the edge for showing up earlier in the tech tree, the ability to attack multiple times in a turn, and the ability to customize them.

Then I have to give Locusts the edge for being able to conquer bases, for not being vulnerable to AAA, for not being limited by need to refuel, and for being potentially more powerful with higher planet ratings and secret projects (i.e. Dream Twister).

So overall, I think Locusts wins this one.

Your thoughts?

Use copter to attack bases until there are no defenders left, then come with locusts and take them. That way they complement each other's weaknesses.

I just send wave after wave of locusts at enemy bases if i can.

If not, I use needlejets to decimate the size.

That's a really good strategy and I've been able to put that to great use! I kill base defenders with copters with the best weapons, then take the base with the locusts, and send copters with armors to defend the bases I conquered. I have to say this is pretty much an unstoppable force until the enemy starts making SAM and AAA units, but by the time they catch on it's usually too late.
