@IndexLibrorum in previous posts it was agreed that flak is not great against T2 bombers as the bombers do their damage before flak even engages them, flak only reduces the chances of a second or third run from the same unit. t1 inties are also bad against T2 bombers as they are slow and do low damage.
In order to survive a constant T2 bomber attack you need at least have nano multiple flak and shields or asf nearby that already have intel on the snipe way before it happens specialy on big maps.
previous arguements have stated that the balance means you need an equal investment in mass for AA and shields to survive a snipe attempt, I beleive this to be a bad idea as all players are focused on the fight in front of them, this means that to survive a snipe all players at all times in all games must always be over prepered for a snipe which is false thinking and ruins enjoyment.
secondly ignore balance and skill arguements, does anybody believe that having this mechanic in the game actually improve faf.
being able to spam a single unit and cheese win games within 10 mins adds quality to FAF?
another way to look would be to consider that the average cheese snipe game time is 10-12 minutes the average lobby time is about 30 minutes, making faf and actual lobby simulator.
