I don't think that either change will reduce maxim/emplacement spam.
Maxim Spam? Feels like band-aid.
- There's simply no other alternative for Soviets. Thus, it will be slightly-less efficient Maxim spam.
Emplacement Spam? Feels like smokescreen.
- Sure, one of the abilities was nerfed, but that was the least potent one to begin with.
- Standfast & Repair Assembly untouched. (the real culprits in 4v4s)
- Counterbarrage is still there. (the big culprit in 1v1)
Shock Troop's RG-42 Grenade now damages buildings and does full damage to units inside buildings.
That's good news! The game's crappiest grenade by a huge margin will now be the game's crappiest grenade by a smaller margin.
Fixed an issue with the comet tank projectiles.
Uh oh! Comet projectiles were working just fine ever since the last major patch (was a ninjafix). I hope it doesn't break anything.
