Major Mishap 33 Posted April 3, 2011 Everyone I show the bots to alway's prefer the German mechs over the Allies (talking looks here, not ability) The Allied walkers are growing on me the more I look at them though. Do you find the same to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwwingate 2 Posted April 3, 2011 Yup, I find the same thing when I bring the game to the store. German mechs are considered cool US mechs are considered homely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanomag 0 Posted April 3, 2011 I think that reflects history pretty well. Take half-tracks for example. Germany's had slopes and angles and looked pretty sweet, but had lots of mechanical problems and were hard to build, where as the US half-track was very utilitarian (cough..ugly..cough) but easy to make, repair, and maintain. All in all I like the Allied ones myself. Not so much the Mickey, but I really like the new Allied light walkers. -Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blkdymnd 182 Posted April 3, 2011 The allied bots are what got me into the allies in the first place. an AT-AT married with a Sherman? yes,please! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Not In Sample Posted April 3, 2011 i had expected it to be that way , but i have found that most people have prefered to play the americans in demos . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redordead 0 Posted April 4, 2011 Axis bots for me. In fact, Axis models all round! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnwiser 31 Posted April 4, 2011 For looks, I agree that the Axis just look sweeet. Now before I even heard of "Dust Tactics" if you were to have told me the names of the units I would SO go with the Allies (sorry, but BBQ Squad and Hot Dog, we have a winner). I love the play on words as it has brung more than a smile or two on faces when I tell them the name of the squads. Game on; -John- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcemtp 19 Posted July 17, 2011 I prefer the axis walkers appearence but prefer allies walkers abilities . Both my sons like to use hotdog for the allies and luther for the axis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what the big falling out was about? I am sure it does not make FFG look very good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icey101 0 Posted July 17, 2011 The Axis walkers are what drew me to the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wminsing 31 Posted July 18, 2011 I like the Axis and Allied medium walkers about the same, I REALLY like the Axis light walker, but the Allied light walker doesn't do a lot for me. -Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arkangl2 6 Posted July 18, 2011 Appearance I like the Honey. rules def the mickey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoomOnYou72 1 Posted July 18, 2011 I really like the look of the KV47s and Otto. Overall I like all of them asthetically so far and there arent really any designs that Im personally like meh to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XUR 5 Posted July 19, 2011 German light walkers are really neat, I must agree. Now, I couldn't tell which, of the Heinreich or the Hermann, has my preference ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reptilebro1 1 Posted July 20, 2011 I reaaly like both of my Sino-Soviet mechs. The KV-47 is pretty cool. I have mine about half-way assembled and I am working out how to magnitize the different weapon options that it comes with. I hope they are released sometime before the end of the year, so that I can get some stats for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldarion2 1 Posted July 20, 2011 I´ve said it once, and I´ll say it a million times...Frog legged Shermans are irresistible to me! Maybe I could say they led me into the game...them AND the Recon Grenadiers, I just couldn´t stop seeing these in my mind´s eye until I got my starter box... Definitely, the axis troops have better looks, and the walkers look just great, but I love my POUNDER. That and playing way TOO many times the "COMBAT!" WW2 series lured me inevitably to the allied side. Major, I think this subject definitely deserves a FB DT FanGroup Poll... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Necross 1 Posted July 21, 2011 I also like the look of the axis walkers better than allied.. allied looks like they just took a regular old tank and gave it legs. Axis looks more like they designed it from the ground up. I love the look of the Ludwig with the 2 big cannons, but also for the Soviets the Fury of Ivan looks really great too. I guess I just like the ones that have big guns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcemtp 19 Posted July 25, 2011 unoffical bots i would say barking dog is my favorite, but as i said before axis bots look awesome but allies have better abilities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peacekeeper_b 5 Posted July 26, 2011 Not much of a bot person, only use 3 or 4 in the game just to balance against the opponent. Im more into the infantry. Though if they ever release the Kriegrobot from the Dust Sourcebook then I will have a better answer. That and the Otto looks cool. But for now, I would have to say Laser Grenadiers and Gorillas.
