Aeon T3 Heavy Assault Bot Harbinger Mark IV

[qai]

3626 beta Changelog:

- Harbinger can fire and reclaim at the same time. *even while patrolling and stop reclaim when enemy comes in range

[qai]

Spoiler: show

:!: The problem: Don't think Harbinger needs this buff.

Why:

" T3 Heavy Assault Bots and T3 Siege Assault Bots fulfill the same role - that of a main-line assault bot. Put simply, the continuation of direct fire units from T1 and T2 (tanks etc). They typically have high health, may possess a personal shield, and have good DPS. Their speed tends to be average. They all have reasonable rate of fire, meaning that their damage scales well, from T1 right up to T3. "

T3 Heavy Assault Bots / T3 Siege Assault Bots is not same category asTech 3 Armored Assault Bot

Cybran T3 Siege Assault Bot Loyalist /// UEF T3 Heavy Assault Bot Titan /// Aeon T3 Heavy Assault Bot Harbinger Mark IV
Harbinger is best. Best range, dps, hp, can repair, can assist and even reclaim at speed of 30 mass per seconds.

Suggestion: Revert change, Harbinger cant fire and reclaim at the same time.

Show me replays why is this unit weak/up/not balanced?
Tell me why Harbinger need this 'ability'?

The problem: Don't think Harbinger needs this buff.

Why:

^ What he said ^

Do I care? Nope

So... Why did this change get made at all? BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING COOL AND THERE'S NO REAL REASON NOT TO

Suggestion: Don't revert change, Harbinger can fire and reclaim at the same time.

Show me replays why is this unit going to be weak/up/not balanced?
Tell me why this ability won't just make the Harbinger that big bit more awesome?

offtopic sorry

Actually, it's not true that they can now fire and reclaim at the same time (it was possible before too), the new change allow them to reclaim when set on patrol, as the ACU does, and stop reclaiming when units come into range.

Furthermore, QAI, if you're trying to piss Ze_Pilot off with your constant sarcasm, I'm sure you're on the right track.

EDIT for better clarity.

You should test things before making comments here.

Harbinger can shoot while reclaiming. (replay id: 967141)

Make Aeon more appealing yes, but i think Tech3 is ok.
Aside from Sniper Bot buff and Brick/Percival but that's offtopic. (=will get even better)

Imagine this scenario: I kill your army while taking all the mass and even if you kill my Harbingers, i got the mass in my storages already and nothing left for you.

edit1: i get it too. its fine then. tought this was removed in 3603 and now re added

What I meant is that the new change allows Harbingers to reclaim on patrol and stop reclaiming when units come into range, the same way it works for ACU. The fact that they can manually reclaim and shoot at the same time already exists since FA release, you can test it in non Balance Testing mod. So you're complaining about something that is already possible as if it was unbalanced and not needed.

Maybe you should drop your condesceding tone.

Look like i didn't understand the change notes. Maybe because it wasn't mentioning anything about patrol.
