Commander naval weapon

Postby creativename » 10 May 2019, 14:48

I was thinking after playing small navy dominated team games, about how the commander has very limited power when it is under water. Far less than when it is on land. So why not give the commander the ability to fire it's weapon under the water. I understand this could cause major problems so it might be a good idea to have the commander do far less damage under water(over charge would have to be decreased as well). Naval fights only include naval and air units while land fights are affected by land, air, naval, and the commander. I am only a 1000 rank so feel free to tell me why this is a terrible idea. I am sure someone already thought about it (or made it in a mod)but I wanted to see what everyone thought. Thanks

Cybran have commander upgrade so it can fire torpedos, pretty strong, you can get it quite early, but otherwise Cybran commander is shit,

other factions have hover tanks, that can fight vs navy, hover is usually used to get back to water, when you are pushed out, Cybran dont have hover units, but have torpedo upgrade on commander and strong torpedo luncher

Cybran have no reliable tools for getting back in the water. Ive moaned about this endlessly but the response is always some sophistry about best frigates salems best cruisers git gud bla bla bla.

The torp upgrade for the com is, frankly, rubbish and only useful when you're in a pinch. Like tele, it also sets you up for being sniped.

yup, you right, there are more balance problems with Cyb, like shitty ACU, soon even in late game( telezater got nerf, but some how is still "OP"), if you are pushed out of water, I wish good luck, you gonna need it

Pretty easy to get enough buildpower to finish it before frigs/destro can kill it on naval 20x20s.
