@funkoff said in I am abandoning Aeon:
That agrees with what I said: The sniper bots have a huge weakness that requires skill and attention to mitigate. The other bots don't have this.
The skill is assisting a shield onto them.
A third of the mass of snipers will trivially kill anything less than a mega with 0 losses, no other land unit stationary or not can do the equivalent except maybe like t2 arty base vs fatboy. This sniper deathball also the one use case of a fatboy poggers
Saying “just make air bro” doesn’t do anything when the two sniper factions have the capacity to put infinite hp in a singular spot while also having the best t3 maa. You can’t kill a sniper deathball with t2 gunships because of shields and flak, leaving you with a mass of broadswords, a mass of strats, or a huge mass of t2 air. All of these will require surrendering or gaining an insanely huge air advantage (several of broadswords/strats) or dumping more mass into air/air production (10-15 corsairs/janus) which you will now need to play on against a potential harb/t3 maa swap while all your production is tied into air.
