In their defence they can all fire over each other and have a long range and good turnrate and acceleration but having tested the weapons they're really poor heh.
I'll look into the zipper too with some real tests

zipper would be fairly cool for armlight, paired with a cheaper marauder... How did support get buffed? Wisse is right in that it is probably impossible to balance 1v1 or ffa, but support should be usable in a 3v3 setting imo...

i have to agree, mavericks would be perfect for this mod with their healing abilities.

And B3. But in both cases on Arm Light side altho they pwn most of units in similar price range like Zeus or Can for example.
That's why I suggested replacing Zeus with Maverick on Arm heavy and using cheap Zippers in it's place for Arm light.

I don't know about the zeus/mavvie switch, that would leave armheavy very weak on smaller maps where raw power is more important than speed...

Zeus has very low DPS plus short range. Well microed Maverick can kill it without being hit. Same goes for Can, altho it has Mav's DPS, range and speed still can't quite match it. Plus you would have Stumpys to tank with.
Mavs do fial against stronger units, but you would have Razorback to compensate by then. And with some clever tanking you get insane support.
I've played Arm light with Mavs on BB and they owned everything anyone threw at them. Especially costing only 200 points. But than again some players do prefer using units w/o any microing in which case Zeus would clearly own Maverick. In that case we need much cheaper Zeus, probably in 1/2 of Can's range.

I haven't played this mod myself yet, but spectated and looked pretty fun.
One epicly awesome glitch happened though. :D
When KaiserJ got his flag burnt to a crispt by lasers a portal to the land of fighters was seemingly opened.
They kept pouring in at an amazing rate. (Credits to gonpost for this amazing screenshot)
And landed everywhere.
Except for a few who decided to fly to a better place ... an infinately long ways off the bottom of the map.

It's beautiful. Makes me sad that 4E got rid of the plane of fighters.
