    I forgot to mention this odd quirk with the HMLRS. It's missiles have a tendency to fly high above a deployed Tick Tank's turret, when locked on, causing some of the missiles to miss. It's inconsistent with how many missiles hit the deployed Tick Tank, either all missiles hit or only some hit with a few missing outright.

    I played some more and realized I was wrong about the Hover MLRS

    Great job on this Reborn game night!

     

    Starting with the GDI Units:

     

    Riot Trooper - I love this unit. It's one of my top picks. A small detail that I'd like to bring up, the alt-fire is using two rounds of ammunition per shot. I'd like to have that use up only one round of ammo per shot. Great unit overall, especially the shield.

     

    Medic - Incredibly useful in infantry rushes and holds. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a medic present in a firefight.

     

    Disc Thrower - My favorite unit by far. I love the range on the throws and the damage is just right. A long distance headshot that is perfectly calculated is immensely satisfying.

     

    Ghost Stalker - Very powerful in the hands of a skilled player, but not invincible. I like him a lot.

     

    Wolverine - Excellent rate of fire, but the inaccuracy leads to having odd fights with infantry where squishing them is sometimes more efficient than gunning them down. Still a fun unit to use and absolutely crucial for supporting the Titan.

     

    Titan - I like it. Not much else to say about it. It's the Titan. The aiming is a bit finicky with being offset. It has a tendency to get thrown off by terrain.

     

    Hover MLRS - Great against aircraft, but not so great against ground vehicles. I find myself getting outmatched by nearly everything except buggies because of how close I need to get to establish a proper lock. It is super effective against structures, however. Definitely not something I'd pick to shoot at ground vehicles with but 100% something I'd pick to blow up buildings or to shoot down aircraft with.

    EDIT (8/25/2023): I was suffering from a skill issue. I really like the Hover MLRS now. I wasn't using it properly before. I 100% recommend it now.

     

    Amphibious APC - Clown car but for GDI infantry. It's great fun.

     

    GDI TacOps Sniper Guy whose name I forgot - Excellent for dealing with those pesky Kerubims. I did find my sniper scope disappearing often in a match, but I was still able to score clean headshots.

     

    Any GDI unit that I haven't mentioned above is either because I think the unit is fine or because I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on.

     

     

    Now on to the Nod Units:

     

    The Killing_You Unit (Kerubim) - Very good, I like it a lot. Definitely wreaks havoc on GDI vehicles.

     

    Nod Blackhand Sniper - Much like the GDI TacOps Sniper Guy whose name I forgot, I like this unit a lot. Same issue with the scope texture disappearing.

     

    Elite Cadre - Another one of my favorite units. Excellent damage and still effective against vehicles.

     

    Attack Cycle - My favorite vehicle. It's so much fun to squish enemy infantry and harass vehicles. Pretty good against aircraft and structures too. I had an epic rush with them on one map that I forgot the name to, but it has the street sign of ' North Edinbruh ' on a bridge.

     

    Harpy - My favorite air unit. *BRRRRRRRRRRRT*

     

    Any Nod unit that I haven't mentioned above is because I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on. I spent most of my games on GDI.

     

    So far, I'm really loving this version of Reborn. Definitely better than 1.6 in my opinion. I'm going to have to play more to get more thoughts on it.

    Friday night!

    I could see some great matches coming out of SilverShark/forg against Guard/Gary. If Alstar is back in his prime, we might need @Pushwall to come out of retirement or we’re doomed :v

    That sounds like a fun idea! Staff vs Players sounds like a blast.

    In my opinion, this is a must, the unit as is is simply too strong, it might actually make the !support a tad bit more bearable which would be having two positive changes in one simple tick

     

    Perhaps. I'd be willing to give it a go for the patch and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, it can be reverted.

    As an aside, people have to treat changes like it's not permanent. Changes can be reverted or modified, people just have to be thorough in their explanations and reasonings. All too often, I see people screeching about a unit being broken without actually saying why it's broken. Another issue is when a player isn't using a unit efficiently and/or effectively and starts to complain that it's unplayable. I'm just grateful that Threve is here to add context for what makes a unit great or awful.

    I agree a lot with what Threve has stated but here's my quick thoughts on some units.

     

    I don't think the Mammoth Tank Railgun should have worse depression. There's already nerfs being heaped onto the unit, why make it worse? It's not addressing the core problem, which is that Nod lacks a capable Brawler MBT that can go toe-to-toe with some of the GDI heavy hitters. From what I've seen on the Test Server and from Yap's discord stream, he has Nod MBTs already lined up but waiting to be implemented.

     

    I'd take a look at the Prism tank. It's lack of armor and HP makes it get insta killed all the time. All you have to do is hit the blue portion of it's turret and kaboom one hit kill. I never use it because of how fragile it is. It just means free points for any Ezekiel driver out there.

     

    Not quite sure what the Chemical Warrior has going for it. Maybe a cost reduction and buff to it's damage output? The unit dies instantly because of it's lack of mobility.

     

    I'm on the fence with making Gunner squishable.

     

    I don't really have much to add, but that's because much of what I've wanted to say has already been said. That and many of the issues presented are being addressed in the next patch from what I've heard.

    Umagon is great, as is Toxin Soldier. The Cyborg Cannon may be a bit too powerful for structures and vehicles. WhereIsMyMedal and I, were able to wreck havoc inside of GDI's base. Once Moonsense, MPRA2, WhereIsMyMedal, and I all grouped up and pushed with Cyborgs, we were able to destroy the majority of GDI's base.

    The Cannon has an added benefit of being able to one shot kill most infantry.

    Remembered a gripe I had for Volkov

    Make Flamethrower Great Again.

    Volkov's shotgun hand is really hard to use beyond point blank range. I've watched multiple Volkovs try and kill a single rocket soldier and it took forever.
