Was wondering if anyone else have been having issues with Relics servers as I keep getting drops at my end and its starting to become irritating. Only liked this since the new patch and I haven't had any issues before hand. Hate that good games end because of something on my end, just was having a good game against Price before dropping and that was the, what, 12th time?
I wish they got a higher accuracy bonus for veterancy but they in a good spot now. Can even deal with pioneers in cover with that damage boost and be a cheap weapon flanking squad.
I'd like it as you would have to be aware of danger close. However, there needs be some punishment for greifers and such. Maybe using abilities/artillery on friendlies not near enemy units in a certain radius?
With the bug fix from getting engine crit from small arms fire, it's in a good spot. Only issue is damage to buildings and the smoke not costing munitions but it's a very good vehicle for punishing blobs, defending flanks, and being a cheap, reliable source of AA for your needs. By having a set up time it requires some forthough and positioning as well as scouting. Also really good against Brits aircraft late game, just watch out for those pesky snipers and anti-guns.
Scott works well as a mobile fire support unit that can also do free smoke barrages when and where you need them for your troops. Basically Scotts are for your more mobile players and are great in pairs as they can easily destroy infantry squads. Get two Scotts with a Jackson and you have a deadly force. Only downsides of Scotts are that their fragile (two Anti tank guns shots and you can kiss their arse bye) and have to be closer to the action to be accurate and require a decent amount of micro to use effectively.
