Do they launch and miss, or just not launch at all? Pretty serious bug here. Need a quick reply and maybe I can get a fix out by tomorrow.

They seem to do both, sometimes.

I played against Dr.InfernO and my side had numerous loaded anti-nukes set up. They eventually nuked the entire area between the hills into a lake with land bridges.

A few times the anti-nukes fired, but they were ineffective. The rest of the time nukes came down past them without any show of defense. Indeed, my anti-nuke was open but had not fired in minutes when a nuke landed directly on it.

It could be any number of things, judging from the reply... lack of compensation for trajectory, inability to detect- to put it as well as I can, they just don't work... at all.

Oh, and the range circle for cruise missiles is still off by a margin.

There will be a patch tomorrow, bringing the mod up to 1.46. Still no anti-air kbots, but anti-nukes are fixed, auto-repair values are fixed, and there's a good number of other adjustments.

The nukes fly so high that it goes off the screen completely even at farthest away zoom, so I really couldn't tell you what happens to my Anti-missles after they launch to intercept.

If you have ammo for the Anti-nuke, it will fire, it just doesn't seem to hit the incoming nuke.

Besides that small issue, gameplay seems to be pretty good, just as it always was.

I do have 1 question though Caydr, the Amphibious Con vehicle, shouldn't they be able to build a LVL2 vehicle plant just like the normal Lvl1 con vehicle? It is nearly double of more the cost of a normal Lvl1 con vehicle, and it seems logical for it to have Tier2 acess.

It seems the Anti missles are flying UNDER the nuke missles and cannot get them.

Level 1 Arty still sucks, they just want to drive into the HLT range

rename the lvl 1 Art into lemmings

Also AK's need to run slower imo, that also fits the core setting more..

Yup, that was me. I was absolutely certain my Comms were protected :/ Pity the game ended because of a bug, though. That was one of the coolest matches I've ever played.

Otherwise: great job, Caydr! The new turrets really filled a gap. Looking forward to 1.46!

yeah this version is really good! The only real problem is the "instant" nuke I think.

New turrets.

teh AK is now a min-can. but fast, cheap spammable and fairly effective vs air...
if you don't catch my drift it is fucking RIDICOULOUS

MR.D · Post by **MR.D** » 01 May 2006, 15:05

Ak's as antiair kbots... right....

ROFL

Imho a lot of units that currently use beamlasers should be switched to pulse lasers. Otherwise they can do ad-hoc anti-air work.

Since Core L2 air needs a boost: how about a super air-to-air-gunship for Core? Or something similar - a little faster than the Krow, armed with a turret with that anti-gunship missile that the one L2 Core tank has (forget the name). Kind of an "heavy anti-gunship plane" or a flying Can.

The Uber krow, Kick ass Rapier and the ultimate comm poppingmachine... the hurricane just not quite enough for you pxtl?

well core air's got power, but it has room for something cool since they lost a plane

Min3mat · Post by **Min3mat** » 01 May 2006, 17:04

noone thinks the can errr i meant AK is OP??? :\

If you do a 1v1 with an A.K. and a peewee, both being well microed, the result should be the AK wins every time (even before 1.45) as the AK has a greater range than the peewee (other than is FPS, but that dosent count) and a faster movement speed, letting it stay out of harms way while the peewee slowly turns into a pile of molten slag.

On the whole however, i think A.K's and Peewee's are fairly even assuming you're not miticulously (i know, i can't spell to save my life :p ) microing them. Reduce the A.k's range to that the same of the peewee, and i think they'll be fine.

AK's dancing just out of your peewees range is a pain in the arse :p
