base on the status Micoro should be a lot stronger turrent vs Air and Ground But Avalanche is much stronger in Air and ground. But the stats say otherwise. is this a bug maybe?
they aren't bugged microwave does more damage the closer you are to it avalanche gets a damage multiplier the longer it has a target - up to 4x the base damage
the longer an avalanche fires the more its damage increases the damage of avalanches compoud by the duration of time they fire short burst little too no change in dammage stats the longer the more change and highier the damage is where microwaves are set no change doesnt matter distance the damage stay's the same
When i attack a base with microwaves, i take them out as quick as a can, they are a major pain. And thats why i like having them in my own base. I use 4 micros in my base and 6 avalanche. i place micros behind the avalanches and the **** things are constantly hosing down the enemy. SF never sees the full damage of the micros but aircraft like the oni or the phantom? whew look out. They will JACK your phantom as it flys over.
Avalanche can get up to a 400% damage buff. it is a passive one so the stats listed on the avalanche is its starting damage, whereas the damage on the microwave was actually its max damage. at max range, the microwave does very little damage. only at almost point blank range does microwave beat out avalanche for even 2 seconds
All the replies to the question asked here are legit & great advice. The dps seen on wiki is ONLY the intial burst fire of the Avalanche & the longer it keeps firing the higher the dps gets, where as Microwave has a set DPS & in order to reach that the units have to get real close, because on an old forum, stats & wiki said the max damage for microwaves does NOT apply at 700 range, which I would have to agree with when I use to have all Microwaves in the base units would have to get CLOSE before I saw massive damage start to happen. I would like to clarify something though while here. If your trying to compare the two maxed turrets live in your base with a test DON'T keep the turrets side by side, because that does nothing for a test. To get an close idea about the damage put an Avalanche on one side of your base and microwave on the other & test the SAME unit both times to see with your own eyes the huge difference between the two there is & I bet then you will agree that the microwave doesn't get that maxed dps damage at 700 range. Cheers & happy hunting commanders.

the avalanche, when it came out was anew experimental turret. when firing it gained a significant dmg boost the longer it fired on targets up to a max cap dmg boost. it takes time to spin up and start firing. but when it does it unleashes hell amounts of dmg. if there are no targets it will power down and lose the dmg boost
microwave does more damage the closer you are to it
avalanche gets a damage multiplier the longer it has a target - up to 4x the base damage
