@ftxcommando said in The Problems With The UEF - Part 2 (ACU Billy Nuke Upgrade):
Can't think of anyone decent that would say seraphim is the worst faction. Basically their
Oh, I didn't specify 'decent" I don't think...
But in response to this I searched youtube for 'supreme commander 1v1, and lo and behold, the first video I found prepared to venture an opinion introduced seraphim as the 'worst faction'.

It's not me, it's them. I promise!
I personally love seraphim, and think they're really cool! As I said, I play random, and enjoy all the factions, albeit from my very limited 'noob' perspective (I played competitively back in 2007, but I know that's aeons old, and I've forgotten so much! )
To me, seraphim feel really strong, but with some 'holes' in their tech. Cybran feel very shifty, aeon feel specialised, and UEF feel all-round solid, albeit with a lack of specialisation.
I'm interested in Aeon, particularly - I've heard that they've been broken-OP for ages. They were considered broken decades ago, too, although that was more down to the mercy! Has the recent change to their guncom 'fixed' their overpowered T2?
I'd personally love for the 4 factions to be balanced - it's just interesting that I can't see any concensus on which factions are too strong or too weak! I find UEF really solid, and they seem to be strong even at a high level from what I see of more skilled players.
(And as a random player, I can earnestly say that I'm too low-rated to know which factions are too strong - all I can offer is it's not the ones I'm using! )
It's just that, in light of this lack of clarity about the worst factions, all these topics about fixing the UEF seem a little like overkill, currently.
And as mentioned, I'm wondering whether 'middle of the road' is actually a bad racial identity?
(ps. regarding 'Janus OP' - it does seem really, really strong! Fighter-bombers feel really strong as-is, and the janus seems far harder to evade, and far better at blitzing both high-value targets, and low-value spam. )
