T4 autofocus

[Lu_Xun_17]

T4 land

I think it's needed to make few changes at this point so fatboy or megalith will finally focus a monkeylord when escaping.

I would suggest for all the land XPs the following priority :

T4 > ACU+SACU > T3 > the rest > buildings



CZAR

CZAR has a little bug appeared few patches ago. It became a no autofocused unit. so for any other single scout in the air, the AA won't decide to attack the CZAR. (that's the main reason people found CZAR super buffed recently)

I would need the code to fix this.

Also the target priorities are correct on the fatboy and the czar never changed on that matter, so I fail to see how it happens now and not before.
I think it was always the case but due to the czar being a suicide unit, nobody noticed.

if you need help with the code just pm me i used a similar code in the vanilla mod for changing target prioritys.

[Ze_PilOt]

I won't write any script for this patch, won't have time. So yes, if you want sometimes fix, you will have to provide me the code.

There is no need for a script to change target priorities. None of the Experimentals (excepth the Nomads ones because we are aware of the issue ) have the "experimental" category at the top of their list, meaning they will target t3 first, then t2 then t1 before shooting at another experimental unless you tell it to. There is even one weapon on the Ythota targetting t1 before t2 and t3!

I think adding SCU is good too : Experimental/SCU/T3/T2/T1 but ACU should be left as they are. No unit targets the ACU in priority, it is intended by GPG. It's a single unit, if you want it dead, you can at least target it manually.

As for the Czar, but the same problem occurs with the Sera t4 Bomber, the Experimental category should be added at the top of the target priorities of SAM and maybe flaks. I think the problem has existed for a long, long time.

this is all the problem you can't focus the acu and move otherwise it focuses a new target. i called it sacu, but i had not forgotten your dear SCUs pip ^^

Make all experimentals SpecialHighPri ?

[Eukanuba]

Should experimentals always be the highest-priority target though? Tactically you may want to reduce the incoming DPS as quickly as possible, so targeting lower-hp units may be desirable.

Air exps I agree should be priority targeted, but I'm not sure if I agree with land exps being top of the list. Especially since manually targeting land exps with gunships/bombers is one of the most common ways to deal with them.

[ColonelSheppard]

exp units tend to be the biggest problems
autofocus question: does the mercy have this highest priority too?

[Golol]

well i think if you have the possibility to prioritize different unit types the autofocus problem could be solved but coding that is pretty hard prolly.
