Best Units?

[Hombre]

Quick question, Tanks or Bots? I know doxes are very universal since they attack everything except orbital (maybe navy maybe not i cant remember), but Tanks dish out so much dmg from a very long range. And theyre so Tanky (pun intended). Should I mix em into an army or should i go with one type only?
I did search for opinions online but people in forums are not very clear, or just plain metaslaves.

And yes I know Tanks are slow, and bots are quick.

There are better units, but when talking about bot or tanks they generally have different roles.
Dox are good raiding units, tanks are good for attacking fortified bases.

Currently the meta is to have bot factory first for fabber, combat fabber for com reclaim, then dox for raiding/defence from raiding, then usually a vehicle factory, for some anti air if needs and so you can build a t2 vehicle factory to start early lever spam, dox and other cheaper units are good to mix in with the levers to help take shots from other levers if fire isn't focused levers will over kill dox so they provide good padding to your forces and also help to kill boom bots which could counter levers otherwise.

I usually like to have spinner also to stop air from wiping out my armies, plus either some combat fabbers or scouts to spot mines.

Also cover the line mod it very nice to help get good trades.

You can mix some bot units into your tank army like the combat fabber and lightning tank (lightning tanks are very powerfull against flame tanks).
But have a seperate bot factory or 2/3 build only dox and send them in small groups from all directions to the enemy. Having the enemy worry about his defences gives him less time to worry about yours.

If you have the eco to ALWAYS use colonels. They attack anything expect orbital. They are heavily armoured make great damage on enemy units and they can even build EVERY building which the T2 Fabber from the bot factory can build.
They have a high production cost but it is totally worth it!

Roughly estimated two colonels can easily kill up to 50 dox.
Also I hate dox because if there are too many of them moving at once it ♥♥♥♥♥ up your simulation speed aka. performance in game.

bots are great raiding units- they are used to destroy or capture small enemy expantions. while tanks are used to take out large portions of your enemys base or to finish off your enemy. but with fabbers bots are used to grab expantions early in the game.but tank fabbers are used to build expensive structures
