Numbers, numbers, numbers... of course Numbers! The game is based on numbers, not magic!

I already tested everything with them, yesterday I almost killed a sera destroyer with a cybran cruiser, by kiting it...

You may escape Aeon destroyer shots, but every destroyer is able to do so and normally aeon destroyers are escorted by mobile shields.
If you are fighting a cybran destroyer and the sera destroyer is not dived, the cybran destroyer will kite you. If you eventually come into range, the cybran destroyer will turn to minimize the distance, so you cannot escape the shots anymore and the cybran destroyer is able to use its torpedo dps advantage too.

I just mix T1 subs with T2 destroyers (submerged) plenty of torp defense to go around. Leave it as is, and why have different factions if you don't have diversity? Then we'd all just have the same units with different looks. That's just boring and pointless. Give me challenges not rock, paper, scissors.

And? The enemy can do the same, just better because he has t2 subhunters.

Its not a good faction diversity if one faction unit is just weaker than the others.

Sera has weaker t2 and stronger t3, though. If you make t2 the same, you run the risk of sera being able to fight at t2 and then going t3 and saying "LOL eat t3 subs"

Gowerly, T3 subs were nerfed considerably... but I do think we need to see how the new T3 subs play out. They aren't freewin in the seas anymore, but they are probably still good.

Actually, looking at the DB, you are correct Gowerly.

t2 sera destros are the weakest. any other destro will own it. same number of destros, no way you win against any other faction.
It's actually even worse when they are submerged

try it :)

I actually have a small doubt when it comes to aeon cause obviously you can dodge a lot of shots.
But those depth charges are quite effective


T2 sera suck imho and is the reason why i don't play sera on navy. Ofc t3 subs are great but i'm more interested in being polyvalent and being able to pound bases with my navy, good luck with t3 subs. :mrgreen:
