Equilibrium navy balance sucks ass and just turned the game into no brain sub wars which is literally the only possible thing worse than no brain frig wars
What games are people citing that torps are OP? All 10x10 water maps are won by Cybran frigs. Half the 20x20 water maps are won by them. The other half are senton/metir/lena river style where you will be sam creeping/making hover flak/cruisers/shields. It isn't a simple question of "oh just look at the mass in torps vs navy" unless you're looking strictly at 4v4s or whatever because the mass investment in torp production to match navy investment if you decide to not have much of any navy is huge. And it isn't like ints don't exist and can be made for less equivalent infrastructure buildup.
