Yet another blink topic!

[sabrebattletank]

Is there any difference between assult blink and combat blink?

[MrTwosheds]

There is only the one blink, so it cannot be different.

[labmice00]

There is no assault/combat blink. There's just blink.

There is no assault/combat blink. There's just blink.

but there is allways SF's version of blink.

[labmice00]

I am talking about normal BZ2, no mods.

Ammo consumption of blink changes when morphed.

How might one use blink well in a dog fight?

[S.cavA.rmyG.en]

Ammo consumption of blink changes when morphed.

vary littel change mostly becouse ammo regerates at a diffrent speed when morphed.

No, no it does not. Other unit factors change, such as ammo capacity and regenerate rate at the unit level. No stock special has an Assault form.

[labmice00]

I checked the DATA.pak, and there is no assault version of blink.

[Lionsword7]

I don't think there's ever been an assault blink. It's kind of confirmed after you try most specials out, and there's no difference between the combat and assault specials. Of course, in Assault mode, you do move slower overall, so that may hinder you AFTER you blink.

[Zax]

I always assumed weapon ammo consumption increased rather than ammo capacity going down. That's kind of strange, really, as that would imply loss of mass when morphed. Biometal *rolleyes*

[Clavin12]

Now that we have that confirmed, may I ask about blink strategies and how it might be effectively used in a dogfight?

[Ded10c]

Blink in. Kill. Blink out.

Alternatively;

Blink in. Almost die. Blink out.

Arguably the best way to use Blink in a dogfight is to use it to get out of said dogfight when things go... poorly.

If you're feeling confident you can use Blink's explosion to disrupt your opponent but that's tricky to do effectively, costs ammo and due to both Blink's design and a bug, costs you some health and disrupts you nearly as much.

Outside dogfighting, Blink allows near instant travel to respond to enemy attacks in a remote area or to order units around quickly. This still costs ammo though, and due to said bug, some health.
