Yeah, Voodoo, you have to be a lot more mindful of your ACU but the trade-off is well worth it.

This game now demand the use of army and tactic rather cheese

I played some games now and it's just great! I can finally rush with t1 tanks again
The only problem is that my Acu dies too often ^^

Whatever...

At least games are not dull and end in a few minutes because some bomber can hover and take out pgens in a matter of 10-15 seconds.

t1 maa can definitely fight t2 air, but since it IS AIR, you can fly around it and take out targets. If someone has t1 maa EVERYWHERE on a 10x10 or larger they have severely harmed their eco or army build.

On 5x5 it's absolutely ridiculous to try and use air now, agreed, but that's why I hate 5x5 in general: it's just a spam fest... little strategy compared to larger maps.

Not really that easy anymore with 2x hq cost.
Zock's patch did not add to strategy, it diminished them as t2 rush not as viable, maa can now actually counter t2 air, first bomber not viable, first jester not that viable anymore either thx to maa buff, decreased comm aggressiveness thx to t2 nerf, and decreased late game aggressiveness thx to other acu nerfs

, because it's not feasible to do vs. good player.

1st bomber is basically out of the game, it's a waste to build and any prior bo's to finish it in a reasonable time are now worthless

You still have T2 air at the same price, which capitalises on he already huge weakness of aurora vs air, and also

And besides just get pillars at min 4 and carve a swath through 12 aurora each....

We're not going to end up with only ONE way to play the game. Thanks to t2 air hqs costing the same versus land/navy increase, air force, gunships, t2 bombers, cruise missiles, etc are a lot more threatening.

With one strategy closed more avenues have been opened in Zock's patch than less. I still don't like having to become so creative to stop aurora spam in 1v1 but it's fun to have to be more thought-provoked.

Now if only I could figure out a way to stop Percies in late game when you are against UEF....

completely removeing 1rst bomber as a strategic choice is not great imho
i'd hope to get some t1 bomber tweaks in next patch, especially build time

Good job (serious), Zock et al

Regardedless of your opinion about hoverbombing, it required skill to be done, I wouldnt call it talent-less.
And the lost of one viable strategy shouldnt be celebrated, otherwise we will end up with just one way to play the game (like 1st and 2nd land being the *best* option right now in most of the ladder maps).

P.S. I dont care about homberbombing being removed.

I'm only complementing one aspect of the patch as 1v1 gameplay has been less "cheese" than before.

You're doing it wrong. You should complain about the patch being too slow and going in the wrong direction while questioning the sanity and or competence of whoever is responsible for anything.
