As much as I hate to admit it, Alexzandvar got Commandos right on the money this time. They were the essence of "broken" not in the sense of "they're OP," but in the sense of the primeval meaning of the word, they broke the game. Giving their already insane ambush multiplier to their picked up weapons is just LOL. That ambush multiplier shouldn't even exist in the first place, their natural damage was already Shock Troops on steroids. Even their natural damage needed to be toned down. If they stayed the same as they were in Alpha, then if I see a squad of Commandos popping out of stealth from ANYWHERE, even in the middle of 10 squads of my volks / sturms / obers, then I will proceed to shit my pants and learn to fear God. But luckily, they will be changed. 100% guarantee. |
Thanks Von OpieOP
Thanks! If anyone has replays like this that involve comebacks against BM, or just good BM in general, I'll take it!
Do you know HuskyStarcraft? He's a youtube caster for SCII and he had a series called "bronze league heroes" where he'd only cast the most ridiculous games, whether because the players are so laughably bad or because of whacky hijinks. (Bronze league is the worst league in the game.) 5 minute base races, micro so bad your grandmother wouldn't believe it, the worst BM imaginable with hilarious comebacks, the works. That is an idea. |
I slowly broke into the biggest fucking grin as the game neared its end. Never have I felt so good to see people get what's coming to them. You should definitely cast more fun-tastic games like this, I'd watch/subscribe. |

This mentality of "UKF will be OP" in this thread is pretty cancerous. Whether you trust Relic to release a balanced faction or not, can we wait for it to be released before being judging it? All of you guys are talking about "OP this, UP that" like it's fact when everyone is just riding the dumb hype train from promo videos.
How about giving UKF a fair chance by going into it objectively and determining what's OP and what's UP without a precognitive bias? UKF is still a real faction that deserves to have its own strengths and weaknesses. It'd be a shame if the impending wave of butthurt prevented it from being the awesome faction it deserves to be. |
i think you can say that the allies generally have some micro intense but more powerful units right now
Yeah, no. I agree that more micro should mean more rewards, but that's not the case right now at all. USF particularly as a faction involves intense micro for par or subpar results. I don't know why you typed out this part of the sentence and then continued on with your next part, they contradict each other. |
I like it. Allied factions need to be less micro intensive. This is a good step. |
what wud be a good reload time for the firefly if not 12 seconds then?
8-9s was the most acceptable suggestion. |
I see medium armor from Axis is countered pretty well by medium armor from UKF based on this video if it is up-to-date balance wise.
I wouldn't trust promotional videos as a reliable source for balance discussions. At all. Obviously it'll show UKF kicking ass. Just look at literally every other promotional video Relic has pushed out for UKF. |
as long as it has guaranteed penetration and not having to rely on RNG like M36 Jackson that's fine by me axis armor should get a looked at because their tanks can penetrate allied armor almost at least 85-90% of the time and rarely do their shells bounce off
Sure, it has great first hit damage... but 12s is so excessive, it went from 7s -> 12s during the testing. People did calculations and it had the longest TTK (time to kill) out of all TDs in the game 0_0 But that's enough from me... Was just waiting a long time for the FF reveal to put in my 2 cents |
