Do roads help them?

Yes. As do Magtubes, of course. The main advantage hovertanks have though, is their ability to move over any type of terrain for a cost of one (1).

Gee....hovertanks?
Never built one.
Never had to.

That, and their ability to attack 3-4 times per turn. The sheer havoc an Elite Singularity-Blink-Grav hovertank can do is unbelievable. Up to 5 attacks in a single turn.

Yes, that's the problem if you try to attack an enemy base with a single infantry unit. They hurry the production of a defender EVERY TURN, and you can't get their base!!! Grrrrr...

Plato90s, if you have got the tech to build a Singularity-Blink-Grav Hovertank, why don't you just use a chopper instead and a paratroop to conquer the base? It seems to me that the cost of the chopper relatively small compared to the Sing-Blink-Grav Hovertank.
