Tacnuke does 3500 Damage, Shield has 3600 Hitpoints. That means once the shield is lowered below 97.2%, any count of tacnukes will freely pass through. Shield link speed is finite which is why you have to wait a moment for the lowered charge to spread before all shields are below 97%. This is also why firing all missiles at once doesn't work.[/quote]

[quote]What's the undesired outcome here? Silo is supposed to kill porc. Silo can circumvent shields -> Porc dies.

Tacnuke is to area shields like Licho is to personal shields. Just with the twist that you have to do some clever timing. Instead of lowering the shields with a tacnuke, you can just as well use any kind of artillery. (In FFA Bantha's dgun is perfect for that, so you can save one tacnuke)[/quote]

In the video you show [u][b]five[/b][/u] shields, which cost a total of 2500 metal and drain 50 energy per second when recharging. They also have a total of 18000 shield hp, which is just over 5 tacnukes worth of damage, and to be made useless by a single tacnuke is ridiculous. That's like saying that 5 shields should not be any better than one shield.

It should take at least 7 tacnukes or 2 shockley and 2 tacnukes to take out that behe. I would imagine that shields are nearly useless vs berthas due to the same effect. You could also use that same technique to kill 3 shields using only 4 tacnukes when each shield should have enough hp to block 1 tacnuke.

I think gajop's idea makes a whole lot more sense. I don't see why tacnukes should be wtfop when silo already has a proper counter to shields (shockley).

EDIT: I miscounted. The video actually shows 6 shields being defeated by 3 tacnukes. gtfo.
