Microed yaks >>> rocket soldiers. All kinds of speed and manoeuvrability + greater sight radius + instant kills vs basically none whatsoever. Seriously, you lose about as much if not more money _and_ production time on rocket soldiers than the Yak user loses in aircraft. At least. Meanwhile, your fo...

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The Soviets are only ever at a real disadvantage in terms of information asymmetry late game, where Gap Generators + the GPS Satellite gives the Allies an edge. Besides, even if it _were_ true that the Soviet faction is weaker overall, that doesn't mean mobile...

Proposed Longbow buffs (all of the following): Reduce their build times by 25% to 36 seconds down from 48 seconds. Reduce their reload times to 0.5 per rocket down from 1 second per rocket. It is insane that it takes 8 full seconds to reload these things from empty! Reduce their cost by 25% to 1500 ...

+1 for Longbow buffs; they're awful. They should get all of the following: Reduce their build times by 25% to 36 seconds down from 48 seconds. Reduce their reload times to 0.5 per rocket down from 1 second per rocket. It is insane that it takes 8 full seconds to reload these things from empty! Reduc...

I've already brought Longbows up. The issue with them is that they're too costly and too late tier; they're not practical, general purpose anti-air. Longbows need a buff, badly. Lol, amen to that. They either need to be cheaper or more powerful. I'd start with decreasing the cost to $1500, and the ...

So, basically, you've acknowledged that in order to guard against an Engineer rush that's even passably microed, you basically need to have multiple rocket soldiers and riflemen, and/or a mess of base defenses; way too many resources vs the opponent's very small investment. It's not about a question...

The whole idea of the thread was to come up with ways to balance the Engineers which as stands are a problem in that it's too easy to cap with them; once they get within melee range of a facility, it's done. APC/Ranger rushing an Engineer into a base while you're distracting your opponent with some ...

AA-only rocket soldiers loadable inside the jeep should be equivalent to the flak truck. I think that is a sensible balancing approach. Too much micromanagement to accomplish compared to soviets, just try giving both sides the flak truck? See how it works and go from there. Yeah, that was definitel...
