OpenRA

problem, for example I want to use E as a hotkey for like select all. but it wont work if i am in the building menu, because E is also the hotkey for ore refinery.

I might soon be able to help out, teaching myself GIT right now (the basics, it's totally different to TFS / subversion). But under the ...

Is there a patrol command ?

Well, I just watched almost all the casts on youtube, and I think I didn't find a single one where the longbow was used. (maybe a few, but it's a small %)

That is a like a sample size of ~50-100, so it's statistically significant.

If the longbow wasn't used in any of these matches, it's an ...

yeah but this is not a very realistic scenario... he wont attack you just with hinds more likely he will attack you with a mix of v2s, mammots, some rocket soldiers Which 'he' are you talking about now, Frost? It's still a legitimate strategy to send a bunch of Hinds in to scout or do a pre-main ...

I always thought it could be a cool upgrade if they had a lot faster of a firing rate, unload their entire payload in just a second or so and then "get the heck out of dodge".

wasn't the Yak a lot more like that in original RA? My Memory is Fading, but i remember it firing a Long stream of ...

I think a little range increase + faster firing rate would do it. right now its just too weak for its price.

Here's a fun scenario though.

Imagine you're playing as Allies, and your opponent is Soviet. You know there are helicopters incoming, so you decide to build anti air.

Decision 1:
Hey: I can get a whole group of Rocket units! That's good. Let's do that.. AAAaand the Hinds just shot down the entire ...

You have to consider, a unit not only has to be useful, it has to be cost-effective in order to be used by good players. If there is another unit that can achieve the same for a lower price, this unit will be used instead.

For the price of one longbow, you can get almost 7 rocket-soldiers.

And I ...

The problem is on the public servers, the hosts normally just use the default settings, so in most public games crates are ON. that's why I would prefer the default to be OFF.

last 1 vs 1 I insta won because I got an artillery like 30 seconds into the game... I think crates bring too much randomness to the game.

Longbow has an important distinction of being the only anti-air-capable air unit in the game. I'm pretty happy with the air balance as-is.

yeah i forgot about that. watched one replay and one player had a few medium tanks + artillery, + a few longbows that killed all the air trying to kill the ...

btw can you chrono them ? might be a very nice tactic for 2 vs. 2... chrono them into the enemy base.. could be insta GG if you chrono 4 of them into the base

I think 12 is still way tooo low. what is the point of teleporting if you could just drive there in a few seconds anyway.

to have any use I think it would need to be at least 25 or something

or maybe make the cooldown way lower, like 5 seconds, so you can use them for kind of hit and run attacks.

one of these cost 2500.. and it seems like it explodes also when enemies kill it.

so it might be effective to move these into big groups of enemy vehicles / infanry.. ?

right now this is almost useless, because it costs like 1,5 medium tanks... and the range is so small ... for example the range is to small to chron around some static defense.

so my suggestions, increase range like 4-5x it's current range to make this unit more useful
