[Epic] Barrages on titans...

De-lurking and throwing $.02 into the fray...

Here's how I see barrages as far as titans are concerned:

Imagine that you see three little flies (Infantry stands) on your wall, grouped
together nicely. You grab your trusty flyswatter (barrage weapon) and whack em,
killing all three. Now imagine that there's a giant tarantula(titan) on your
wall. Is the flyswatter gonna hurt it? Hell no! That's when you pull out the
nice, big hammer (Anti-Tank/Death Ray), and bean the sucker.

It all comes down to this: Barrages are meant for infantry, because you're
essentially carpet-bombing them, spreading the firepoweer of the shot out over
the area of the barrage template, whereas against a huge, heavily armored titan,
you're giving it nothing more that a vigorous back rub. Conversely, an
Anti-Tank/Death Ray shot is like the precision hit of the Hammer, all that
destructive force concentrated on one point instead of spread out like the
flyswatter.

Hmm. I hope that was clear.
Anyway,
See ya!
