UEF T3 Heavy Air Transport Continental

[qai]

3626 beta Changelog:

- Continental Shield energy consumption = 400 (from 250)

Gowerly quote: "If you want to state that unit X is overpowered, then would be best to just collate the evidence together and present it as one thing.
Also, don't just say "hey look at this replay!" because it's unhelpful. Where possible point out what to look for and why it's important. Yes, people may know what they see when they see it, but the games are big, so it's important to know why things are happening the way they are.

You'd need to be able to show that:
- Despite an advantage, just building those units were enough to change the tide of the game.
- This includes an advantage in the are in which the unit was built (in this example air - It's all well saying that he had a land advantage but lost to the continentals, as this would happen with mercies/gunships, etc, too!)
- Cost wise, without the unit that's OP, there's nothing that can be done to stop it."

Now its time to post replays that justify this change.

The problem: Nerf for a balanced, but under used unit.

Why: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3822&start=50#p41000

Suggestion: If not able to show that changes needed, revert shield energy consumption.

Sometimes balancing a unit is more about the perception of the unit by the players than the unit itself. This is one of those times. The chosen change is going to have no real effect on gameplay, whether the unit is being 'Abused' or not, but it WILL have an effect on people's minds. Those who thought it was OP will be satisfied, those who knew it was fine will be irritated, those with a brain will realise this change does nothing.

True.

Just don't want these 'little things' add up and end with something dissatisfactory. I want FA Forever.
