Phiomia C4 Drop? Help to defend?

[Confio]

Hi guys,
anyone got tips against the common Phiomia C4 drop to blow up heavy defended bases?

[LostCaveman]

Better then an alpharex drop ... :D

[LostCaveman]

The only two things that come in mind are sloped roofs and turrets on high range and shoot anything.

Could try active defense. Get some Pteras built for combat, and then hopefully intercept some of the incoming pig-carriers before they can unleash their deadly cargo. Between that, turrets, and a few warboys on the roof with Longneck rifles-you should be good.

[Confio]

The thing i thought about was a kibbled Bronto on the Roof. Any active defense is no option since they raid offline.

[Confio]

We got 36 Turrets with lots of Bullets. However they are set on Player online to prevent Bullet Drain drops with T-Rex/Ankylo/Doedicurus. We have another 86 Plant X on the roof and around the base. Base is located on a Air only Rock to prevent Bronto Bullet drains. However all this seems useless if you simply drop Phiomias with attached C4. :(

[Confio]

Did anyone have any experience about what happens if the Phiomia gets eaten by e.g. an Ankylo? Is the C4 still there? Does the Ankylo on Aggressive destroy the C4 with his attacks? Would it blow up if he destroys it?

[Arya]

Not sure. I would expect the C4 would stay attached to the body, but I must confess I've never actually shot a prehistoric pig/elephant with C4 strapped to it before, let alone approached the C4 encrusted corpse to see if it's still packin'

[Confio]

They are 15 ppl, some of them 1500h played.

[Confio]

However i don't wanna complain about them or raiding or offline. Just wanna know how to defend properly against that tactic. Since turrets dont help that much.

[Confio]

Feels like defending against nuclear bombs. :(

heres what you do
go to their base and do the same thing and see how they like it but be a mega bad ass and toss down a tanked out turtel first to suck their ammo dry then drop ya pig bombs

you can also build to the games upper limits and make a power tower then what can they do

[JustShivvy]

It's always nice to have a mix of attack modes... Given you have a huge amount of turrets, its also nice to mount your turrets on top of pillars.

[crckdns]

I don't know that tactics, teach me the C4 pig please :D sounds funny

[Arya]

It's pretty simple. Even a monkey could do it.

Get pig.
Cover pig in C4
Get bird
Pick pig up
Drop pig
?????
BOOM!!!

[Confio]

The turrets are on catwalks so you cant destroy them to easily. The thing about the C4 Phiomia is that you attach C4 to the pig, drop it and blow it up.
