Adhesive is a great equalizer when dealing with TAGs. Unfortunately ALEPH only has access to one profile with two load outs that have ADHLs, which are the Dactyls. Unfortunately, Dactyl being from greek mythology and there being only the post human doctor and engineer options for Vedic lists it probably wont be a Vedic list thing when that gets released. I would be surprised however if there was not an additional non-post human doctor or engineer when the sectorial gets released. You might get lucky and they chuck in an ADHL for you. Otherwise monofiliment mines on infiltrating nagas, and just try to bracket the TAGs?
It's always going to be tricky to give advice on an incomplete and unreleased Sectorial. Naga monomines seem like the obvious first choice, then proxy Mk2 Hacker for immobilise and then AP rounds from the Shotgun (or just possess it and jump off a tall building). Biggest problem is that most of the AP available seems to be short ranged (BSGs, SMGs, monomines). The Marut has that Multi-HMG but that's just going to come down to who gets the first active turn shots in. Dasyu/Mk2 Sniper bring AP ammo and can outrange most TAGs, you're risking a nasty DA/EXP ARO in return a lot of the time though.
Dakini hmg with support ware. Bs 14 vs bs 12/11 due to mimitism. Against nomads szalamander Its 45% to do 1 wound vs 9%. Pretty decent odds.
Naga monomines are the best choice for totally removing a TAG from the field. Then AHD (Posthuman MK2 or Danavas are your best bets). AP ammo also works wonders with high armor, although for high bts we don't have easy access to breaker ammo (only the Danavas has it on her pistol). And if everything fails, just gamble it with d-charges, and honor the fallen afterwards
Imagine the dakini with supportware to have more output than standard HI. Bs 14 with mimitism is no joke.
Since my tragic first time facing a Jotum i opt to ignore the big guys and just murderize the cheerleader order pool "Have fun doing anything with one order, you huge jerk!"
I would go with the same as above : Marut for straitght damage (mine destroyed all TAG opposed to him, including the Avatar) and the MK2 AHD (possession is fun in ARO, and even a Gorgos with mate can be possessed with a crit ) The mk5 FO is also a good secondary threat against TAG (B4 AP shot with BS13 are quite efficient)
MK2 AHD or Danava+repeater, dont fear BTS9. Monomines if the TAG is IMM-1 (or if you don't fear being burned to death) Any high burst weapon like HMG or spitfire with appropriate mods (ODD, smoke + MSV ...) especially if you can catch it out of cover. Deva Spitfire can work surprisingly well on low armor or out of cover TAGs, same for Asura. Don't hesitate to move out of cover if that mean you can put the opponent out of cover as well, you gain more than you lose. Garudas to clean cheerleaders. Diomedes would be the best one to clean the opponent's DZ and engage the TAG from behind either with shooting or melee, but garudas are in their own way very good too, it's too bad they don't have superjump. Same here, try to shoot it from outside a cover. Ho, by the way, you can use a garuda deployed in your DZ to great effect. With BS12, a HMG, mimetism and assisted fire, he is just one of the deadliest gunners ever. Those REMs deserve every love, they are just that great :) If you can do it, try engaging it with any REM, even a humble yudbot. Electric pulse is surprisingly a big threat to TAGs. If you can coordinate move + engage with lamedhs or dakinis, you can very well lock the TAG out of the game.
I seriously doubt CB will release Vedic without smoke... Unless they plan to release another TAG for Vedic that will be more accesible. As for Vedic ways of taking out a TAG, aside from the mentioned ones, a good AP BSG from a Garuda to the back of the TAG can do wonders. Then, Heavy Rocket Launcher from a Mk4, it has always worked for me (somehow, always in ARO to boot! XD)
Yeah, because there's no chance of them making an army full of elite MSV troopers and then not giving them standard smoke...
Very likely the Hexaedron uses Aleph for a big part of its operations. Leaving those they know Aleph won't approve in an airgapped system (and some they use as an excuse for Aleph's non-interference with most), not because they thing they are smarter, but because what Aleph can claim not knowing works for both parts... (big brother to the Nth potence? Impossible to avoid it to piece together a whole operation even when it's starting to happen. The deniability comes from the part of Aleph's being able to claim it has no knowledge it was a superblack op). Mind you, the problem would not be "Aleph stops us by force", it would be "Aleph presents evidence of this Vantablack operation to the public by presenting its details to the ruling council of PanO".
Is this thread seriously discussing how to deal with units with a sectorial that isn't even announced yet, much less what's in it?
And you are surprised, why? Vedic is extremely exciting news for aleph players and so we are talking both as potential for the sectional and for vanilla that doesn't include sp.
