You can't try to compare different factories on opposite factions. Kbots aren't meant for charging through the front lines like tanks are(warriors being a possible exception), but even still they are more ore less balanced. You talk about how the strom is underpowered because if he misses he has a long reload - That's the POINT, every unit has very prominent advantages and disadvantages, storms are not meant to be able to stop a bunch of gators/flashes, they're for harrassing, not steamrolling everything.mar3moset wrote: Most of what you state is accurate but comparing to other labs like a CORE vehicle lab versus an ARM K-bot lab or vice versa the ARM lab will make short work of even the most hardy CORE tier one K-bot builds I have witnessed, even when the CORE tier one K-bots are supposedely the CORE's tier one stong point (I think) was set to be K-bots. (If Im wrong correct me.) But yeah their vehicle on vehicle lab is quite balanced excluding some differences with their engineers.
But when it comes to K-BOTS on VEHICLES ARM will sweep away most CORE K-bot attempts with Flashes considering their cost is low and can be produced quickly enough in the early game to rival the numbers of K-bots, considering the CORE Storm's projectile may be effective but if it misses the initial shot then the storm is out of luck, so possibly the Rocket Launcher k-bots on both sides could get their projectile speeds increased or have a faster reload speed at the cost of their range.
In T1 each faction has damage-absorbing units, speed units, range, scouts, general purpose skirmish units, etc etc. The purpose isn't to make perfectly parallel unit categories for each faction, because that's very boring and removes a lot of the variety and choice between factions, especially in T2.
Also, you fail to mention that Core has arguably the best spam unit in the game - the AK. And no, T1 kbot is not Core's strong point, it has no scout and no tough tank unit, of which arm has both.
