What use do Kommando Nob Squads have?
Hi,

anyone of you know how to use Kommando Nob Squads in a decent way? When I hit tier 3 I usually go for Nob Squads because they're like "hit a + left click" and forget about them the next 180 seconds.

I usually never go Kommando Nobz because while they might look like they can handle several tasks there is always a Ork unit which is much better specialized then them - besides for infiltration!

So do you know any good youtube casts where this squad is highlighted to give me an impression how to make efficient use of them?

You use Infiltrators to capture enemy points "almost" undetected. Can also surprise enemies, if they think they are having a 1vs1 fight(one of their units vs one of yours) and suddenly there is another squad firing at them from behind.

Not as useful in Player vs AI, but still, they have pretty good firepower(if you dont want to get into melee for some reason), and can let you bypass troop movement around map(makes it easier to capture points).

Also, if memory serves me well(been a while since I played orks) they have some kind of utility, a grenade or bomb or something.

They are simply a bit more "sneaky" than Ork Nobs and require more management.

I've seen them used to harass the enemies bases while they were gone in MP

Could be another use for them

Thank you very much for your replies. For what I found out, they're pretty nice when you go for Kommando Nob as Commander Unit because you may unlock them on tier 2. Also they are a nice replacement if you lose your shoota squad by accident or bad play in late game. They are in general a bit overpriced but not because they are UP but Nobz simply are the better unit for just a few bucks more. All in all I still couldn't figure out a good use for them to replace my favorite Nobz or Looted Tank. I guess I am no sneaky guy, but all killy! So yeah, pretty much Gork all the way ;))

Only reason I see to get them really is when playing against eldar and they are spamming warpspiders kiting Nobz to uselessness.
