I think fake building is good enough now even if they could be discrened by simple riflemen firing upon them. I against strenghtening the fakes actually, except with tossing another fake silo in order. Now, when you're alone or in FFA, fake buildings admittedly useful only for short term in confusin...

I still think incremental changes would be easier to test and feedback on (although I do agree with many of the balance suggestions). Personally I think the factions should be balanced out before we change other units. Shocktroopers are probably going to be nerfed in some fashion next release. With...

In a rather "unfair" way, actually everything is balanced here. True, Allies is far easier to use intuitively, even better than the original Allies in RA2 and 3 which needs micro skills to succeed. Jumping from RA1/2/3 to OpenRA is easy for Allied players, because they actually has better things wit...

RA system is much more useful for frantic "short" fights and raids, in a map with limited resources.

OpenRA - TD system is... honestly, more suitable on long drawn fights which draws down on HUGE VS HUGE battle

It's a proven fact again and again in MP games, large group of flak deter hind, but isolated group of them is easy prey. In my experience, they aren't as "easy" as you suggest. Of course, some skills in micro is necessary, to juggle that few flaks for chasing a hind and barraging them from the fog ...

IC and planes are super valuable on maps like bombardment islands, helis are useless as offensive units, and chrono is nice but pales in comparison to immunizing an abomb. While indeed MIGs could be useful to take out enemy Nuke Silo quickly, the very fact that every competent players will spread l...

Balancing a unit based on a map can be extremely hard to do. It is best to balance the unit by basics. IE: Unit vs other unit. Unit vs other unit + combination. Keeping in mind as well they fixed the shroud targeting (With the exception of turret locking IE: Flak Trucks) in the playtest. So targete...

force fire? you somehow get a hind and flak and then tild them to fire on each others? The fact in Real MP is not like that, you often did not seen the enemy hind, and isolated or hindered flak truck is easy prey for hind because they torn light armor with their chaingun while the heli in return cou...

if the allies player has average micro, he'll only need two hinds to take those three flak trucks in short time, or even only one with trip back for reloading, Hind outrange flak truck ans do good damage against them, with water limiting the truck's mobility, its the flaks who are the sitting ducks.

Uh, Flak Truck has default 6 sight range. Thats 4 less compared to Hind and with water barrier comfortably protect the Hinds from being chased off, they will destroy the guard trucks without fear of retaliation. Soviets? Stronger Naval Early? All the Allies need is two well microed gunboats to destr...
