Thaam is weak against labs for some reason (combination of missing shots and high damage per shot)
arty is great but it is still pretty expencive (50% more mass cost)
Selen used to be nice in early game, now it became much easyer to use, but for the cost of -5 power? meh
no ghettos (one less snipe possibility)
t2 bots are now much more "balanced" and they often lose some of their DPS due to slow turret turn speed, also they are generaly slow and that makes it harder to play against t3 rush on 10 km. their range is good, but not enought to reliable kite unapgraided ACU and ACU still can OC those bots (and that hurts cause they cost like 360 mass each)
t2 hover is kinda nice and fast but it does have trouble fightin even against t1, i like how t2 hover tank have exactly enought HP to max out regen that 1rst area regen upgraide gives.. but that is just a fancy thingy, not a strong tactic.
t2 mml sucks ass 600 damage per shot but 10 reload time is horrible.
no t2 shields. t3 shields are nice, but often you want them more and earlyer, rather than better and stronger (they die to one OC anyway, and die pretty quick against t1 arty fire)
othum got some minor buffs, but it not always can keepup with harbs, and harbs have shields and can reclaim
snipers are annoying cause when they shoot while move they miss all shots and when you stop them and actually want to shoot they will just stand still reloading. (tbh after having one bad expecience i stopped useing them completely, but it might be that they are not so bad)
also since sniper damage got decresed and fire rate incresed it defeats the purpose of having a unit with big frontloaded damage, also damage used to be 2800 so you could load 4 snipers in t2 trans, drop them close enought to enemy acu and one-shot him if he has less than 11 000 hp, now damage is more like 2000 and that trick is less effective (nobody used it anyway, but i am just saying)
t2 gunships for sera are "OK" but afaik they are worse than other gunships (at least by HP)
t2 bombers are weird, very good damage, but not good for sniping ACU (splash is pretty small)
t1 air scout have unique ability to give vision radius in are after its death, but it lacks what other scouts have - ability to scout with its wreck. this sera feature is cool, and sometimes helps against stealth, but this only provides vision, and it looks like it does it in area that is smaller than vision radius of scout, while other scouts wrecks give good vision radis and radar as well (btw it is bit bugged, it gives vision, and reveals units, but it all "looks" like it is still under the fog of war)
t4 chicken used to be pretty shitty, you needed your opponent to screwup micro if you want to win with it, also if you attack with multiple of them, if opponent snipes one, it may damage your own army.
t4 bomber is nice but it also does cost 50k mass and requires some good micro and you kinda even need to avoid height chages while approaching target, or it might just not drop the bomb.
no more combat experimentals...
t2 destros lose to subs (t2 subs) (bad torp defence)
t1 subs lose in 1v1 to t1 subs of other factions, but they cost same amount, their antitorp ability that recharged every 20 seconds does not scale well at all with higher number of subs, it actually makes it more useless cause torp defence starts to overkill torpedos, and shooting round of 3 torpedos in clumbet up subs will make them all to use their torp defence on 1rst two torpedos and then 3rd one will most likely hit.
ok i was talking only about bad parts, i have no time left, maybe i could tell couple more disadvantages of this faction. but it is certanly playeable and not really that much worse than other factionsStatistics: Posted by ZLO_RD — 16 Feb 2017, 17:15
