>arguing balance based on clusterfucks

In hindsight (and especially after watching the replay), there are a few units that seem like they could have helped against the Claymores:

-Buoys: about the same metal cost, enough HP to survive at least one depth charge, better range (with a slow effect), 60 (!?) HP/s regen in water. Seems like these might win a war of attrition (if properly spaced out to avoid the depth charge AOE). Watched one in the replay plinking away at a Claymore.

-(Terraformed) Gauss: much more resistant than Urchins against artillery, but can still perform a similar function. Was used by east against west. Might have discouraged Claymores from getting too close.

-Halberd (in armored mode): could just rush the Claymore(s) and tank the depth charge(s) on the way in. Would be neat to drag the depth charge(s) back to the Claymore(s).
