Rockworm op vs. GDI

I have noticed that the Rockworm ops against GDI, I have not found a  counter to it playing as GDI. Sandstorm does not counter titans well but everything else it destroys. 

  • The Kodiak annihilates it. I feel like GDI commanders have to play with the Disruptor and Kodiak right now; they take out pretty much anything right now and can wipe out the enemy base.

    Are you quite sure that this works? Blocking a Rockworm from unborrowing? Because I tried it just a minute ago, and it failed. I wanted to move around a NOD bike between two hex fields of a base, when I knew that the Rockworm wanted to unborrow in said base. (The third field in that base was also occupied by a NOD bike of mine.) But when I clicked on that field for the bike to move, I got a speech message saying "impossible", and the Rockworm did surface. Needless to say, this f u c k e d me up quite badly.

    dont worry once you get into the higher tiers you really dont see them at all maybe once out of 40 games but you have to get over the hump first
  • With a lot of people here.  The Rock worm does a great job if it's set and ready and you move vehicles in to attack.  In that situation - sure OP.  But then there's pretty much every other situation where their slow movement and need to burrow down before moving cost you dearly.

    The situation above with a widow maker and a Rockworm holding a spot is as good as it gets and just screwing with the Rockworm using air or troops is super easy, even then.

    The other one is a stealth harvester attack - it can pop up between 2 harvesters and take them both out before the other guy can respond.

    Generally - relying on those slow mo fo's to take command points is a huge waste - I've lost plenty of matched waiting for them to finally pop up and waste a few wolverines.

    I'm still low level (29) but I plan to drop the Rockworm for a leveled up giga cannon in the next day or so.
