The UEF ACU example is a situation where UEF would in turn see a slew of buffs compared to other factions, because their ACU upgrades are in the worst situation of all the factions.
Cybran ACU exists. I'd happily trade an upgrade set with 3 useless upgrades over one with zero survivability, clashing core upgrades, zero usefulness in late T2/T3 phase and the strong lategame stuff putting the cardboard ACU in harm's way.
Nah, you wouldn’t. Cybran getting UEF treatment would put laser on chest, make cloak cause the units in an engie’s build range around your ACU to go invisible while keeping your ACU visible, and then ruin torp launcher by turning it into as expensive as a salem but only doing torp defense.
But, you would get to combine t2 and gun so that’s sick.
You seem to be UEF-blind:
- UEF can combine T2 + gun if you want to push then build, or be able to quickly build defenses after pushing. Cybran can't.
- UEF can get nano + gun for a setup roughly equivalent to Cybran stealth + gun.
- UEF can get a shield and push at late T2/early T3. Cybran can't.
- UEF can get an ACU TML and kill enemy mexes from any angle they please. Cybran can't.
- With shield + gun, UEF can defend against small Percie armies. Try fighting 4 percies as Cybran with lazer or 2 percies against a microing player and tell me how it goes.
- UEF can fight T3 armies with billy nukes. Cybran can't unless they get both lazer and cloak, and there's still a risk of getting groundfired.
What Cybran can do that UEF can't:
- Fight navy, on smaller ponds and before mid-T2. Stray from these conditions and you'll get torped. Arguably a tradeoff for not having hover.
- Mazer com-drop. Something nobody except me ever does because of how risky it is.
- Mazer + cloak. Unless the other team is retarded and doesn't have omni by the time I spent >1M energy, only usable defensively.
- Telemazer. Nerfed to accomodate Setons, usually a desperation move and a one-way trip.
I'd happily give up all of these in exchange for a com that isn't relegated back to base by late T2 land. I'm not saying that all UEF ACU upgrades are good, just that calling UEF ACU the worst just because some of them suck is plain stupid.
