@tagada said in Why are base SACU's getting a health nerf?:
so you could no longer upgrade the SCUs.
I must say, I'm not a fan of this either.
Based on my understanding, this would also remove custom presets altogether.
I tend to repurpose engineer presets and RAS presets with combat upgrades when I need to.
No longer having that option would limit these units severely.
On top of that, custom presets; I like to mix and match upgrades wherever I can.
For example, a UEF preset offers both Sensors and Jamming.
I usually tend to pair this preset with a gun upgrade on the other hand that has no upgrade set.
I also use Combatant Presets and add an Engineering Drone or a Jamming upgrade as well.
There are no presets for the combination of upgrades I choose to use.
More presets are welcome, but if you don't cover all of them, then you risk limiting their use, and I doubt you would want to add dozens,
if not hundreds, of presets in order to cover all possible combinations.
Being able to modify as well as make your own presets to whatever you need is a big part of these units.
I'm not sure limiting that option is the correct way to "balance" SACUs.
They share a similar strength to the ACU as any command unit is a powerful unit.
If anything, they should have this ability as they are command units.
They are special and should be different from standard units.
That being said, I'm not sure more will be needed after this change goes live.
Maybe a little bit of tweaking here and there as we will have to wait until we see it in-game, but this change already sounds really effective, to me.
