yes, that is what i asked

a game play should be straight forward to understand. There shouldn't be tactics abusing a dubious logic to be part of the meta.
For a new comer, a bs with little torpedo capability shouldn't be able to counter submarine.

on top of this, the way you have to do it seems counter intuitive :

• you can't just click the sub, you have to ground fire it
• you need to ground fire next to the sub then drag the order on the sub
• if you don't want to waste a round of shots, you need to ground fire outside of the range, and then drag the order on top of the sub

Thanks again for what you have done and especially for handling that role which have quite a lot of responsibilities and relies on making decision on topic that are often controversial.

i've learnt to read only the relevant post, i guess you should try ignoring these guys.

because they behave the same otherwise. but if you want to ground fire, you just need to give an attack order on the ground, and you don't need to change the attack mode before that

it's called a signature

@TheWheelie said in Atlantis:

Even though it is unintuitive it doesnt mean that it is broken and/or a bad mechanic

yes it means that it is a bad mechanic game design wise.
It works (read : game is balanced ish), but it isn't healthy; and a balance avoiding this mechanism is preferable.

Alright can we get the ability to hide comment for spreading "fake news". Some fact checking or something, or we remove right to post in here.
Kind of sick of reading random noobs posting bullshit like "Cybran stealth is one of the strongest upgrades in the game. It improves your regen, gives a HP boost, and gives you stealth (AT THE FRIGGIN T1 STAGE). For a very economical cost."

very bad unit by design, insanely low hp and high damage. That's the cocktail for a triggering unit, if you add on top of it maa retardation. Would need a rework, but everything i heard of for a rework ends up a bit dull, nothing very exciting.

cheese option aren't lacking. The issue of mercy in comparison to other cheese is that it is "press key to win".
It's just the philosophy of cheese pushed to the max. 0 skill involved, just cross finger. Honnestly a different design would be way more useful to the gameplay.

i'm already talking about it with askaholic, some revert of old pr are gonna be made to fix that.

well i never agreed on the beetle change, so i wouldn't answer you on your thread as to why it has been design like that.

Yeah it's kinda sad sometime, I remember wanting to abuse T2 cybran ACU drop to capture destros. Using the transport weapon to stun the destro, while ACU capture it. But you can't shoot at the unit being captured. I guess ground firing on the spot the destro is might work.

@Blackheart said in UI mod guide for the improving player:

The way top players keep track of eco is memory. You know that you put some mex to upgrade so thats where you get the info from. Each upgrade is a deliberate decision and its important that this is the case.

I would say it isn't bad to have a visual feedback from time to time (this mexx is still upgrading, this one upgrade smh didn't start etc). But i agree that those mods may not be the best for beginners that will get bad habits, and won't learn what's crucial in this game to become good.

just putting here the list i made on the old forum, it covers pretty much the same ui mods : https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=19207#p183852

just to be more precise : current sera rambo preset is useless (doesn't have the range upgrade) and you should always build the advanced combatant preset. This will be fixed in the patch with scu, as we remove advanced combatant preset and we change the nano preset to be as the current advance combatant preset.
