Mercy simple suggestion: reduce damage vs ACU

Change the mercy hp to whatever you think, Ive tested 50-200, change the range if you want. It works don't to range 6 I think.

Then load the game non faf with your mod, enable cheats, give yourself a mercy and the enemy a t3 pgen, Omni and 1 flak. Have the mercy target the flak. Add more flak till your happy.

Lol once I gave the mercy like range 2 and it would fly over and not target then circle back to it and activate. At 200 hp 1 flak couldn't stop it even flying over twice

@veteranashe I tried something else, 1 T2 mex and 1 Flak vs a T2 Fighter/Bomber.

1 flak fails to defend against Corsair or Notha, both taking 2 passes to destroy the mex and releasing their second bomb before being destroyed. Janus gets the mex below 50% before it is destroyed by flak.

Aeon taking 1 pass to destroy it, despite 1 flak, with a suicide unit, doesn't look that bad.

I believe that's cheaper than a tml.

@veteranashe So it's potentially viable?

@veteranashe said in Mercy simple suggestion: reduce damage vs ACU:

I believe that's cheaper than a tml.

Interesting comparison, the more because at one point at least Aeon TMD would attract Mercy missiles.

We could do 2 things, either:
A. Accept that defending against Aeon T2 means having interceptors ready to intercept Mercies eco snipes, while saving on TMD.
B. Make the mercy projectile officially a Tac Missile so TMD (deliberately) shoots down the projectile.

Mercy doesnt need any changes

@olezha1 what make you say that?

It's already strong and at the same time weak. The only thing I'd like to see is that you could have some dmg so you could take out groups of tanks or clouds of unties/asf, and make volatile so they could chain blow up and ruin a attack

this unit is weak when you have 25125151 aa,radar coverage,intie coverage,only x10 res to counter it,yes,very balanced

I really would like it to be more useful. I just hate when units are so rarely used that I practically forget about them.

Like the shard, mercy, fire beetles, and aeon sacrifice ability.
