Just a heads up about adv. missile towers:
Reducing the damage 25% and increasing the firing rate 25% yields the same damage/time output, and will in all likely hood make these actually BETTER since they will fire more often and will blow up more groups of weaker airplanes.
The range reduction is not a significant enough offset. I would drop the range a third at least.

If they both had flak and a tracking rocket, that would probably be just about the sweetest combo.
Weapon 1 using a flak shot at half the fire rate of the Phalanx/Copperhead vehicle flak tanks.
Weapon 2 as slow firing Seeking rockets like the LVL1 Antiair rocket towers(Defender, Pulveriser).
If the combined Firerate of both weapons equalled the same fire rate of the Flak tanks weapon or even slower that would be a good place to start.
Better to beef things up, than to start with overpowered.

Woot! changelog! (looks like my little riot worked 
)
Why buf the gator a little, was it too weak?
And the tactical nuke launcher is even weaker then it was before, why? nobody uses it. it's slow (now even more), it's expencive, it has as much range as a vanguard, and can be countred by anti-nukes. what's the use of him?
love all the other changes. Go!

I agree with Zenka here, the nuke is already restricted enough. We don't need to make it weaker.Zenka wrote: And the tactical nuke launcher is even weaker then it was before, why? nobody uses it. it's slow (now even more), it's expencive, it has as much range as a vanguard, and can be countred by anti-nukes. what's the use of him?
my beautiful level 1 fighters!! ;_; 
other changes are great :)
well done to make gators stronger :) :)
btw: Why isnt the absolute annihilation unit guide on http://www.planetannihilation.com working anymore??
I always like to look up unit costs there

Not in my experience. They're wonderful against small groups of slow-firing units. Throw in even a small swarm of fast-firing units or a couple dedicated anti-swarm units, and they're toast.LOrDo wrote:Hey, those ARM EMP spider thingys, is it just me or are they as overpowered as hell?
