Vulture fun with Cutter
A lot of people would argue that the vulture is UP, I haven’t made my mind up about this yet; sometimes they rule sometimes they let you down. There’s no doubt they are devastating in ‘packs’, on their own with other units they take a lot of micro work to get them going.
Last night i had a spate of matches against largely Covenant players, mostly Prophets and Arbiters, I decided to go Vulture crazy on them. Cutter’s a good leader to go for this. If you lose a vulture you’re down 6 or 12 pop immediately as they take up a lot of capacity, so once you have ODST charged with Cutter this is a godsend. Losing a vulture or 2 in the middle of a fight isn’t such an issue, you can deploy all your ODST’s to reinforce the fight. The MAC cannon is also a great tool if you see the dreaded sight of 8 Wolverines roll up under your Vultures.
