In this video, we break down how to predict Automaton dropship approach vectors using compass bearings, allowing you to pre-position stratagems, shoot down reinforcements, and dominate bot waves with tactical precision.
📡 Key Tactics Covered:
How to track bot dropships responding to flares
Use of compass bearings to predict drop approach angles
Plan Recoilless Rifle, Spear, and Quasar Cannon shots effectively
Set up Eagle Strafing Runs, Dive Bombs, and sentry turrets in advance
Force bots into kill zones before they even touch the ground
Knowing where dropships will come from lets you maximize damage, conserve resources, and maintain map control. This intel turns your squad into a coordinated machine capable of wiping out Automaton reinforcements before they become a threat.
🧠 SPECULATION & THEORYCRAFTING
This isn't as complex as Cashcrop’s barrage mechanics video… yet. However, there’s growing evidence that each planet has a fixed Automaton force composition, with variations in:
Raider, Devastator, and Heavy unit mixes
Possible existence of subfactions like the Jet Brigade
Rumors of a new Terminid subfaction
While we’re still piecing together full patterns, early findings suggest that bot armies have planet-specific behaviors. For deeper theory, check out Eravin's video on Constellations (EDIT: youtube.com/watch?v=7TM7pHVREUw – doesn't mention bearings, but it’s essential viewing).
