I know originally I said I would adjust the MCV price to 3600 but started seeing players making them in team games when they were still 4000. Im very skeptical and alert of the issues that can be caused if mass MCV plays come in. Myself being paranoid and taking into account of what was said before ...

@Noobmapmaker: In general there are a few good RA players I agree. Here is what happens though: >Devs releases stance changes >Get screamed at by 12 year olds. >Devs add a new stance called Assault-Move. >Get screamed at by 12 year olds. >Bug found with submarine vs submarine. >Get screamed at by 12...

Agreed on the MCV. Im thinking of leaving the build time as is but reduce price from 4000 to 3800. A smaller number but might help for multiple queues. Currently I do see additional MCVs being built in team games so wanted to see some opinions on it. ------ The infantry has their uses still at least...

New release is now out. Grab it and post any issues you find in TD! I have a small list of ideas to work on in the future. (One example is splitting Guard Towers to GDI only and Gun Turrets to Nod only.) The GT and Turrets will no doubt be the hardest to balance and get right. But it can work for GD...

Problem: A balancer role was delegated out to a community member, however the balancers' work and intent is potentially nullified by a feature thrown in blind at the end of the process. In contrast to a established and familiarized balancing protocol or strategy worked out between the developer and...

Voted 4 because of the following reasons: It struck me very positive how tanks, especially heavy tanks, are a lot more fun to use and feel more effective. Veterancy on tanks is no longer a rarity and indicates their increased usability. Proper hitshapes are also a nice thing. What really displeases...

@ZxGanon:

Keep in mind that when doing balance tests its fun to do but if you aim to make them official or want them to be adding units won't go well.

avalach21: Some of the long load times you mention has to do with maps installed on the system. If you have a lot of custom maps it can take awhile to load them up. The other loads it seems to do (Could be wrong) is connection to the master online. Loading races I did it takes about 4-6 seconds to l...

Because if the AA Gun misses shots The shots are still instant. Meaning planes would still get hit regardless of speed. given that planes are always moving, a single plane will get the less damage the faster it is, a simple formula of AoE vs movement. Instant shot = no travel time. Minigunners/rifl...

So this way AA gun would be greatly nerfed against planes (especially fast Migs), but buffed against helis. Do we want to go that path? The shots are still instant. Meaning planes would still get hit regardless of speed. Its essentially a damage scale. Rather then 100% of the damage is taken you ge...

@anjew crlf suggested a "fire delay" not a turn rate reduction. Reducing the accuraccy is equivalent to reducing the damage output, but adding an AOE to the AA gun in return to "slightly" reducing damage really isnt a debuff. Also AA-AOE is how things work in RA2 and it would require a completely n...

Mentioned this in another post before: Best solution for AA balancing is give them inaccuracy with some splash damage. Slow their rate of fire down a little bit. Their damage won't be scaled so high now unless it its with accuracy. Otherwise they will do damage over splash amounts. This will still k...

At the moment honestly I think this may be the best response: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/14117

This of course leaves a slight problem with Allies as their main source of mobile AA comes from E3. Which is why base crawling/pushing tends to happen in RA to help cover that ground. (Exception being some units such as the Chrono Tanks however faction specific and high tech. Longbow also being hig...

(Repost from github #14076) This has been an issue for a long time. The reduction on medic HP has helped a bit in this regard but its good to note that medics heal infantry at full health everytime. If they healed at either 60% of their HP instead this would help to alleviate some of the damage soak...
