Well, you'd pretty much won. I'd made some stupid moves and that was really a last-ditch attack, as I knew I couldn't stand up to another assault. So yeah.espylaub wrote: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.
Plus the AK can fight aircraft and the peewee can't.Cabbage wrote: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
Code: Select all
1.45 --> 1.46
Viper metal cost increased 50 units (642->692), reload time reduced 0.1
units (1.2->1.1), damage per rocket increased 20 units (270->290)
Banshee HP reduced 30 units (380->350)
Abel/Caine rocket launchers removed
Nuke silo descriptions changed (Nuclear Missile Launcher->Nuclear ICBM
Launcher), ICBM range increased to ensure they'll reach across any map
(32000->72000), trajectory lowered so that anti-nukes will work again
AK hitpoints reduced 25 (250->225), range reduced 5%, speed reduced 5%,
damage reduced 5%, rate of fire reduced 4%, buildtime increased 5%
Combat auto-repair speed on Maverick, Goliath, Sumo, and Can multiplied
by 4 to compensate for engine changes to the auto-healing system
Commanders now have a slow constant auto-healing (5), as it was in OTA
Depthcharge launcher weapon range increased 100 units (480->580),
maximum velocity increased 100 units (250->350), AoE increased to 256
(192), damage vs. submarines and boats increased 50 units (150->200)
New sound effect for Catapult rocket launch
Seaplane gunship costs reduced, stats generally buffed to put them
closer in line with L2 gunships (how I intended them to be but
apparently never set up)
Dragonfly, spies removed from CTRL+B category
Punisher slope tolerance increased a further 10%
Scout, Radar, and Sonar planes now have defensive flares
Detonator, Catalyst missiles set to 1.44 stats, but as EMP weapons;
metal cost reduced 400 units (~1900->~1400), buildtime reduced 20000
units (~95000->75000)
Stiletto EMP bomb explosion changed (purely visual)i think that this is probably going too farAK hitpoints reduced 25 (250->225), range reduced 5%, speed reduced 5%,
wth? have you seen how useful bladewings are???Banshee HP reduced 30 units (380->350)
rougly 4/sec, i don't think that the Goliath or Sumo need it however. maybe giving the reaper and the bulldog it?Combat auto-repair speed on Maverick, Goliath, Sumo, and Can multiplied
I think this will make naval battles a bit worse as it will be more difficult to outrange them with conventional ships as as soon as you are anywhere near LoS of it you will start being poundedDepthcharge launcher weapon range increased 100 units (480->580),
I dont like this at ALL. a torpedo is to use vs one ship. not to be useful vs packs unless you are going to change the weapon to ACTUAL depthcharges this is really sillymaximum velocity increased 100 units (250->350), AoE increased to 256
Scout, Radar, and Sonar planes now have defensive flares
these two changes are good IMHOCommanders now have a slow constant auto-healing (5), as it was in OTA
again wtf? reversion AGAIN. will they be intercepted by antis. or wil the fly past and waste a anti. or are they untargetable by antis?Detonator, Catalyst missiles set to 1.44 stats, but as EMP weapons;
metal cost reduced 400 units (~1900->~1400), buildtime reduced 20000
50 more metal? The pitbulls are far less effective, no idea how effective they are cost wise but the ONLY advantage pitbulls have is slightly improved range on hills. they seem reluctant sometimes to target units clearly in their LoS and range but coming in from a corner.Viper metal cost increased 50 units (642->692), reload time reduced 0.1
units (1.2->1.1), damage per rocket increased 20 units (270->290)
Uh. I was saying that six of them could block most chokepoints quite nicely. I listed more Vipers than Pitbulls because they're smaller, so you can pack more into the same space. They were quite effective in 1.45, though I've never managed to work out conclusively how they stack up with Pitbulls.Caydr wrote:As for vipers, a comment in the unit guide gave me the impression they were quite crap. Something to the effect of, "block such and such with 3 pitbulls (or 6 vipers)" The boost I gave them wasn't that severe.
