Cybran carriers can't hit anything?

Postby EntropyWins » 04 Mar 2018, 20:39

It seems like Cybran carriers have AA that is REALLY terrible at hitting things.

In the game I just did I made 12 of them and even that amount cannot kill a single T3 transport because most of the shots miss. At first I thought this might be because the transports are carrying XPs which is unusual or some other map related reason. However I did a game with cheating on in which I found that all other carriers have no problems hitting these transports and that the Cybran one also miss regular gunships.

I suspect this is a bug. Surely these carriers are not supposed to be this bad? They can't even hit targets flying in a straight line at a constant speed!

Well, this inspired me to do a 5 minute test and I have to say, this situation is pretttyyyyy bad xD

Edit for more clarification:
Yeah, they're terrible and you can give whatever justifications you want for their strength, but im quite sure they're supposed to be able to hit a stationary target at least.

Did some additional testing; they are extremely bad at hitting all transports and all gunships and some torpedo bombers. Once again, if they can't even kill a t1 transport flying through the range of 3 aircraft carriers, something is obviously not working as intended.
