P-shields vs TML rush

Just a thought: UEF seems to have issues with TML rushes, since their TMD is so deep into the tech tree.
A single P-shield will stop a single missile from a TML, and TML's fire in volleys of 2.
It takes 10 seconds for a P-shield to recharge after being downed
TML's fire 2 missiles every 10 seconds.
P-shields cost 5 RP and 58 mass (116 for 2 of them)
TML cost 6 RP and 350 mass. You can afford 6 P-shields per every TML the enemy player has.
I haven't had an oppourtunity to test this, but it seems like P-shields would be an extremely effective counter to the aeon TML rush as UEF, since the shield coverage is pretty much comperable to the range at which TMD stops missing. I'm I missing something or am I just slow to the table?|||Seems like it would be a good counter. Good thing Iron didn't think of it |||Missile launchers fire 12 missiles each volley, not one.

Iron knew P-shields could stop Illuminate TML rushing more effectively than TMD.
I told him so myself.
I knew P-shields would be amazing since day 1 of their buff.|||2 shotjas will never break 2 p-shields either.
few parashields will make shotjas have even higher overkill, imagine 20 shotjas fire at single tank and lose all ther dps in that affair.|||Yeah, if only the damn things wouldn't huddle together at the back of your army where they're not protecting anything -_-'.|||I think TML does splash on the shields, killing them all in 1 volley? If so, mass TML > mass Pshield. Then again, mass TML > mass TMD...
Its rediculous a SHIELD is better than a TMD since TML is supposed to be siege... It counters normal shields pretty well if you sync them|||Vleessjuu|||Nice, but I'm not really into messing around with mods. Maybe if SupCom2 had a decent mod support.|||B08AH|||They both do. Pshields suck up 600 damage each, remember? So 1 pshield = 1 shotja shot. If regen = RoF, then 1 Pshield neutralizes 1 shotja. This, and the fact aeon have no mobile arty, is why Pshield-Demolisher owns Aeon.|||So how exactly does that work then? Aren't P-shields more expensive than Shotyas? They take a little less time to build, but you need more mass to block an equal amount of Shotyas. And then you still don't have anything to shoot him with. And that's assuming that your micro is perfect enough to make the shields absorb all of the damage (which is hard, since you'll have to spread them out, but not so much that he can punch through a section with little shields.)|||Nephylim|||Nephylim|||Z32|||Quote:|||The tanks would prevail indeed. Try 10 tanks + 5 shotjas against 10 tanks + 5 shields. Thats somewhat more fair.|||It's a pity that the p-shield still fails at it's primary function...protecting from mobile arty.|||If it would work against mobile arty, it would be hella OP wouldnt it?|||If it "countered" mobile arty then they wouldn't have to buff them a gazillion times before.
