@ftxcommando said in Make SAMs weaker vs gunships and strats, but stronger vs ASF:
Like everybody in the game is currently unaware of the strength of sams and drastically overbuilds asf so I don’t really see why they would be nerfed. Pretty much any ASF number over like 700 (can do as low as 150 on a map like hilly or canis) is a mistake in a game and you were better off sam creeping by that point.
It's not 700 that's just a completely artbitrary number, it basically comes down to:
(enough asf to snipe exp) * ((amount of enemy air exp) + 1)
The reason is simple, SAMs make all air to ground units that are not exp mostly completely useless.
However in practice it doesn't work exactly this way, because usually u don't want to lose air sniping enemy air exp out of fear that they will poop out another one in 30 seconds and SAMs are not so good vs asf so even if you are fighting over your own SAMs the player with more asf probably wins.
