Hello everyone. When I first started playing openRA I was an Allies main. But the main gameplay loop of Arty:Hind:AA gun drove me away from the faction. I'm here to fix that and make the faction more fun, dynamic, and engaging to play as. I am the mysterious person (or not so mysterious person) Smitty mentioned in his last playtest update.
With that in mind, I'll be hosting a "FREE MONEY" tournament in the upcoming weeks. Now that I've finished initial testing, I need players to get "good" at the mod so I can really see if anything is broken. I do need casters and streamers, so contact me if you're interested! It'll be a one or two day weekend event, probably starting around 11am EST. And yes, there will be cash prizes.
Now, onto the the purpose of this thread. The following post I'll keep updated with patch notes and the like. If you're replying, DO NOT post new ideas. I am past the idea stage. I am not implementing AA Migs or moving Hinds to Soviets. I want replays and impressions from gameplay. I am very open to feedback right now, and I will obviously give more weight to well thought out opinions. Any sort of rambling I'll probably just ignore.

ZxGannon vs ArticSea. Germany mirror with plenty of Chronosphere action!

Smitty vs Anjew. Can Safety Smitty finally put to rest the Master's player who just won't let go?

Gatekeeper vs AMHOL. After this match I feel he should rename himself to LightTankKeeper.

That's right! This isn't just some crazy project side project I'm doing for fun. If all goes according to plan, this mod will most likely get merged into the base game. So it's a serious project with serious goals.That said, I don't mind the testing of an overhaul that restructures Allies away from the arty/AAgun/Hind/pillbox core that attempts to shoot the moon and fix everthing.
I've enlisted help for making such a playtest, and I believe he'll begin testing soon. If this test....
a) fixes the problems of stale play with AvA,
b) Keeps it to where Allies aren't being steamrolled by Soviets,
c) Isn't so controversial that I can't get it through review,
.... I can see myself agreeing with and implementing an overhaul.
