get your memory checked.
People whined A LOT that krogoths WERE air transportable.
Thats the reason this was disabled, as late as 0.60b or so i think.

i was talking after the disabling...

is there any chance bb's damage/accuracy can be reduced ?
somehow long wars are allways fairly solvable with bb's..
i hate to loose as ive lost tons of times by bb's only.
like i only build bbs and ill win(i dont need an army, ahaha).
i allways have the feeling that who has more bb's wins, and im specially talking about team games while everyone is happy and the first team that builds the bb starts to kick ass imediatly..

Try bombers against BBs, Chocapic. Not only will they kill a BB fairly easily, BBs blow up BIG. I have seen lines of five BBs go up at once because one of them died.

Oh come on... does it really matter? how many of us actually ever build a krog? heh
Id much rather build the equivalent in peewees... much more useful than those dumb lumbering bullet magnets

lol?
concentrated firepower is sometimes needed to destroy heavy defenses
that and units that can take a pounding

OMG really mat? I had no idea.. wow thanks for sharing that pearl of wisdom... I'll be sure to err, discard it completley....

that was quite much because they could fire over each other while here in spring they cant
that being my point...
for those who i missed i meant that sammies/MT stopped everything in OTA so why make AA the same...

Thats not entirely true. After a point, mt's and sam/slashers usefullness came to an abrupt end. Mass mav swarms and morties and tanks were used later to own sams. Too much wrek and sams are worthless. Then you need stuff that can shoot over the wrek.

Other than that, mass hawks usually were end game as well.

When someone builds Moho Exploiters I cry.
If theyre alone you can rush them with Aks or flash, but what about when there are multiple Moho Exps together?
Is there any unit that can eat them for breakfast? Whats the fastest way to kill them? Usually air is not an option.

arty?

Cyberwal · Post by **Cyberwal** » 09 Feb 2006, 14:23

I'm guessing tremors eat them for breakfast and ask for seconds

today i found out that normal mohomines produce more metal then moho exploiters.. is that intended?

Maelstrom · Post by **Maelstrom** » 09 Feb 2006, 14:38

Moho exploiters have a gun. Normal moho's dont. The gun takes up space that could be used for extracting equipment. Therefore, it does not extract as much.

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 09 Feb 2006, 16:19

exploiters also gain like 5 times their normal armor when they are popped out with the guns showing. When they are closed, the have about 500 more health than a normal moho. BTW try using lugers.

Lugers eat exploiters quickly.

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 09 Feb 2006, 16:21

oh also, exploiters stop producing metal when they pop up.

And caydr, me and deci have found quite a few balance issues lately... We would rather talk to you about them in person though.

BigSteve · Post by **BigSteve** » 09 Feb 2006, 17:28

Just post them... then we can all chip in and argue about them which is fun... you guys aren't arm bashing in secret are you? hehe
I have a distinct feeling that this may have something to do with brawlers maybe?

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 09 Feb 2006, 18:33

Has nothing to do with brawlers steve. Why would I give 2 craps about brawlers? I don't even build flak anymore. Lv 1 fighters work quite well if you have enough of them.

It has to do with facets of the game that are rarely ever played, and they are never played for a reason.

If you want the full scoop ask deci on TS steve, but keep it out of this thread. This is not something that should be discussed because very few ppl have taken the time to gather all the info that me and (especially)deci have, therefore, I would rather not have to deal with the opinions of ppl who don't know what they are talking about (no offense guys, but the suggestions will never go anywhere if that happened). Besides, it's for the good of all players. Has nothing to do with arm vs core.

BigSteve · Post by **BigSteve** » 09 Feb 2006, 18:36

You dont build flak? yay my job just got 5 times easier hehe

BigSteve · Post by **BigSteve** » 09 Feb 2006, 18:39

oh... congrats on Vans tour FA btw :)

Forboding Angel · Post by **Forboding Angel** » 09 Feb 2006, 18:45

lol, I do build some flak steve, depends on whether I feel like spending 4 freakers doing it or not, whether I'm lazy :D

BTW not Vans Tour... Warped Tour :D It kicks off in my home town and we have 5 dates on it. However, I have yet to see/sign a contract so we will see if it pans out or not.

Caydr · Post by **Caydr** » 09 Feb 2006, 18:59

Right, well, I'll be on TS sometime today probably.
