If it is too long I can reupload at double or triple speed, but here is my uncut tactics

takes you a frigging hour to take down that sickle, 

1. lure or bait out tanks with a dog, kill with hellstorms
2. kill bunker *south* with E hellfires
3. kill tower *west* with E hellfires
4. take out all turrets on south & west side of base with hellstorms
5. take out wall SW corner (or opposite silo), send in hellfire & hellstorms targeting Command Center
6. KABOOM.. YOU ARE DONE

very fast and efficient way of taking down this type of sickle, no losses and very little damage only to tank that is leading way for EHF.

If you can do it better, MAKE a video.  I did pretty much as you said, but I used buggies instead of dogs.  And it takes me an hour, takes you 20 minutes. You want a cookie?  I wasnt under the impression that we were racing?  Maybe next time Ill just say kiss my **** when people ask for my videos, if you have nothing positive to say,  I take my time to make my videos, and if it helps a few people great, if not, it dont, but you say you can do it in 20 minutes.  Bravo for you.

5 hellstorms, 13 minutes and done with no damage. Not that Sickle setup but a different one.

Elite warhawks with one plat consisting of 6 elite hellfires, one mega, and dogs. Mega as sniper bait so hellfires can kill bunkers and dogs for mines. Can also use colossus or other units as sniper bait, and level 10 or higher cobras as replacement for warhawks.

I got it down to about 15 mins per sickle with 4 watchtower bunkers, with only 25min repair on toon of 18 maxed rhinos, I know ehels do with less damage but takes longer and that all I use them for now, opening sickles for friends. if you have the spec op with 5 hercs and 5 colossus its the same time but zero repair. I find that since you can change megas in the workshop now my behemouths are no longer needed

Nice baiting. Try this setup 4 HS and 2 halcyons

Oh hell ya, until they release the elite behemoth or behemoth schematic(or nerf the megas schematic) the mega/elite will top the behemoth in everything.. speed, health, damage no but the rate of fire increase is amazing and makes up for it. Only thing im leaving outs the range but there not much difference there. And megas can be customized for exact purposes, killing riflemen, bunkers, or buildings..

The 2 easiest Layouts for HS are these two:

Look at the next post for second one.  It wont let me post both.

These are the easiest because there are no Stingers in the Towers or Bunkers.  So 5 HS can take them with ease.  4 wont cut it on their own but 5 will. 

You will need something to take out the Drone Silo units when they come out - I use a plat of 15 eGats. 

Take these in about 12 min with no damage ( except tiny tiny damage to eGats from strafing Slayer Drones ).

Unfortunately thees to layouts are kind of rare.

OUT OF 30 SICKLES CHECKED THE LAYOUT COUNT CAME IN AS FOLLOWS::

Layout #1 = 21 of the 30

Layout #2 = 5 of the 30

Layout #3 = 1 of the 30 

Layout #4 = 5 of the 30

Of course they might spawn in an even percentage and Layouts 3 & 4 just get done faster so it looks like they spawn less.  Or kixeye could put less of them out there.  Hard to tell because so many factors and I used a very small sample size of 30.
