20 Km ? Seems like a massive range to me.
Would omni see though ? If not, it would be OP, if yes, if would be useless :/

Only the red ring, so on fields of Isis, if it does get to 50 min in and a hammer is built the other team will still get good radar over about half the map. It, with some stealth fields, would make it very tough to see what is in a base

It's strong, fast, (specifically, faster than the strats) and it's health is concentrated into one unit instead of many, preserving it's damage. You need a good number of asf to take it down before it can hit something, or multiple things. And if your air is on the other side of the map...
It vets nicely, so it can survive multiple passes, large aoe damage lets it destroy engies, mexes, power, factories, etc.

It has many advantages over strats.

I'd argue against this but it is a very good unit, mate not as good as your making it out to be, but very good, the question I am asking is: is this what a seraphim player is reduced to In the t4 stage? Abusing cheap hover bomber exploits for a half hour until t4 arty shows up and finishes the job? That's just not healthy, for anyone

No hover bombing is required :D It is a very nice unit.

Yth could use a buff. It sucks.

I just suggested the death ball be on a toggle, which would help a lot

actually I had a likewise idea, didnt notice this topic when I was quikly running down a few pages, but if you wanna stick to the campaign mechanics and a bit of the way things work in the supcom world you wouldnt pick a crystal as a buildable t4 nor make it a very high ranged unit, bring in the jamming array, adding random radar blips either all over the map or just in a range about the same as an omni radar around the structure, also little OP addition would be to pick hotspots on the map where you want radar blips, fake jamming persay without a unit having to be there (up to 3 locations? 3k e for every location?)
