@MinDept FAF has very old game engine that heavily charges on one cpu thread. So basicly disabling core number 0 for FAF(and leaving it for system) on your cpu should give you slightly better performance. There have also been discussions about that, and how to do it, in the past, if you can find those in Forum "search" maybe.

@wikingest said in A small rework/ buff to sera t1 sub to rebalance their navy:

I just ran a fast sandbox, and it seems that they are broken again. 1 Sera destro barely wins against 2 subhunters, but in bigger groups they get wrecked by subhunters. Althought maybe less than in the past...

@FemtoZetta My first post. As you can see, it never was about only 1 destro vs 2 subs.

@MazorNoob I was unable to get the same results as you. #19148471 Even if I spread out the subhunters, and totally mismicro, sending one in before other, Sera destro is left with 7.5% health. When subs are not mismicroed, destro has about 2% health left.

@Tagada When I wrote the comment (7 Oct 2022), all destroyers lost to subs massvise, when in big quantitys. Then they stopped losing to subs a part UEF of course. And now Seraphim destroyers lose to t2 submarines in big quantitys again.

@MazorNoob "I'm pretty sure last time I tested phim destroyer versus 2 sub hunters, it killed both with 30% of its health remaining. It actually did better than Cybran destroyer, which was left at around 25%." Destroyer having 30% of health left, is a symptom of winning against subs. Today I believe it is much less.

@Jip Can you help us out of toxicity here? Do you know anything about changes affecting destroyers vs submarines, from 7 oct 2022 to today? Concerning all factions and maybe Seraphime faction more than others? Or maybe you know who knows about it?

I dont know, when it started, but at 7 Oct 2022, all destros lost to subs in big quantitys. As I brought out
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4951/torp-bombers-are-too-strong-vs-subs/8?_=1675259960008
After that it got fixed someday, without much talk. Might have been something about torp defences fireing in opposite direction? So I checked it, and Sera destros did just fine against subs. Probably when @MazorNoob checked also. It was kind of big thing, who would not have noticed it, all destros losing to subs? And those who did the fixing and all. I dont see much to prove here. No need to look for replays, rather how could someone not know?
And so today Sera destros lose against t2 subs in big quantitys again...

@FemtoZetta Thats exactly what I said. I would recommend to read my comments first. Sera destros used to largely win against subs, and now they are losing. So it must be broken. Or have you seen a balance change that made Sera t2 navy depend entirely from air? Was there a balance decision to make sera destros weaker than subs lately?

So you recognise that you lied once more. And now you pretend, that unit statistics are different in sandbox? And we are supposed to believe it?

@ftxcommando said in A small rework/ buff to sera t1 sub to rebalance their navy:

They’ve never been good against t2 subs

Yes they were good, I had similar results as @MazorNoob.

@ftxcommando said in A small rework/ buff to sera t1 sub to rebalance their navy:

no torp defense

Yeah, I thought this was a lie. Sera destroyers surface to have more dps and range. And if they would not surface, Aeon destroyers would hard crush them.

Sera destros were quite good against subs, and I dont remember balance change, that states that one faction on t2 navy needs to solely count on air.

Since when Seraphim destros have no torp defence???

@yeager said in A small rework/ buff to sera t1 sub to rebalance their navy:

actually, every single unit in the sera navy loses mass to mass vs the cybran t2 sub

After one of my comments, destroyers got fixed (althought you spoke about it much before me). So now destroyers (besides UEF) are supposed to win quite well against submarines. Supposed... I just ran a fast sandbox, and it seems that they are broken again. 1 Sera destro barely wins against 2 subhunters, but in bigger groups they get wrecked by subhunters. Althought maybe less than in the past...

I am not your bud, I think I have already told that before. If you have psychological problems, seek help, or do soething with your life, or whatever works for you. Dont get me into this.

Not motivated to check out how many people have communicated on training channel, and how many out of them have said, that Cybran destros are the strongest. I dont think there is a need for that.

So the Aeon is the strongest

Never heard any of them tell that Cybran has the best destro, everybody told that Aeon had the best destro. Pretending, that people are stupid and dont learn, based on your own inventions is very low and does not add anything to the discussion.

If people pick random faction or faction randomly, then it does not change which faction is more used in statistics. It only makes differences in game numbers smaller.

There can be multiple reasons to pick a faction, as already said, but for my knowledge by far biggest is the faction strenght, glad to see that you now suddenly recognise that the actual strenght of the faction is also considered in lower rated group, when picking a faction. Meaning that it can carry even more in direction of best faction.

@Tomma I have no information about people choosing faction based on visuals (althought I dont say that it cant exist at all, it can, and in medium and high rated also). I chose the faction I thought was best when I started. And all new players with who I have spoken, it was kind of the same. It is quite common questions like: "Is this faction the best?", "What is best faction?", "What faction should I play?", "Is x faction stronger than y?" etc. Those are common discussions with lower rated players. Also, every time I said in the lobby to low rated player, that his faction is hard to play/ weak/ bad for the spot, they always changed the faction.

I agree with you, that there is correlation between faction strenght and its popularity, and people choosing based on popularity, makes statistics only stronger.

There is not only 0 rated players in statistics. If someone brings out high rated play, then you pretend, that high rated players deliberatly play trash tactics. If someone brings out overall statistics, then you pretend that all low rated players for some reason deliberatly use worst faction just to mess with you?

@ftxcommando said in FAF Beta - Feedback:

Totally useless ACU upgrades with not even a little bit of niche by factions:
UEF: 3 (4 if u want to count the drones as separate)

Looking back at our "discussions", you saying so, I suppose that it is a proof that all UEF ACU upgrades are good. But your very vague statement does not matter really. The amount of ACU upgrades does not mean necessarily that one faction is better. By the way UEF has 3 more than CYB.

So at this point ladder statistics gives us 1697 games UEF, 1346 Cybran, 712 Seraphim, 569 Aeon. (Top right side)

Let's see how this will develop with time, after those balance modifications.

Does anybody know, can we see the same statistics about multiplayer? And is there a statistics somewhere about past tourneys?

@thewheelie said in FAF Beta - Feedback:

Hives get nerfed to be as strong as kennels

So, when does other factions get hives/kennels? Because now it seems like endless making UEF stronger and other factions weaker.

1. Ingame score is often useless. Maybe not broken, but just badly done. And it does not influence your rating. Just ignore it.

2. So, let me know if you dont see the same thing. In FAF client you have a "Replay" tab on top side. Opening it up, you should find yourself in "FAF Replays" tab. With your last game in top left. Game named "Monkey..."(But you can always search replays using player names, rating and other parametres.) If you klick once on the game, it will open window, with some details, and on right side button "Show rating change". If you click on button, it will show points earned or lost in this game. For you I see 129 points +12. Meaning you had 129 points before game, and earned 12 more.

Now if you go into "Show user info"... I do that by right clicking on your name and selecting "Show user info", you will arrive into "General" tab, with chart on lover side of the window. On higher part you have among other things, "Global", with below 191 games and 141 rating. Note that 141 is 129+12. Also, if you join some lobby you should see 141 points for you. And that should be a correct number.

Now if you look at the chart, the last number I can catch, is 133. This is broken. And wrong number. I have not checked FAF code, but I think it is a coding error. And it goes on for quite long time already. Just ignore it.

3. I gave a fast look on your replay... And... Your opponent had 500 rating and two times more eco. There is room to improve. I believe someone shared educational material on this forum. And besides that you can look at replays from "Replays" tab, to see how your opponent played the same spot or how some high rated player plays this spot etc. You can search for different replays. Also there are some casters and streamers that you can check out on FAForever forums> Announcements> Looking for volunteers> Up to date thread of good casters. I am not telling, that it is up to date, but you can go on from there.

@denverdan123 What is your name in FAF? Do you always play with same host(s)? From same country?
