1 I have to lamentably agree - converting it into pure AA would fix a lot of problems. Right now my only real use for the darn thing is that I build one early on to pick off jeffies and fleas around my base... and I could probably do that better with a pair of MTs or something. 1 I have to lamentably agree - converting it into pure AA would fix a lot of problems.

3 Interdisciplinary units are a fine idea, but ZK needs a serious re-balancing of air and AA for that to ever become viable. Dedicated-AA units are just too powerful compared to conventional units, and firing upon air means having the the accuracy of a riot coupled with the range of a skirm, a dangerous combination against ground. 3 Interdisciplinary units are a fine idea, but ZK needs a serious re-balancing of air and AA for that to ever become viable.

5 A blanket-nerf of air-armor and AA firepower would allow for things such as the Slasher to exist and eliminate the need for "dedicated" AA a bit. . . but that would create its own raft of problems, and either way the Slasher would be tricky as hell to balance even as a pure-land unit. Anybody remember the CA days when spamming Samsons was a popular move in flat maps? A horde of Samsons would obliterate everything as soon as it was spotted. . . but assault units were more rare back then. 5 A blanket-nerf of air-armor and AA firepower would allow for things such as the Slasher to exist and eliminate the need for "dedicated" AA a bit. . . but that would create its own raft of problems, and either way the Slasher would be tricky as hell to balance even as a pure-land unit.

7 @Skasi - you're right that the model's size might have a lot to do with perceived uselessness. It's a problem throughout ZK. The Slasher looks bigger than the Jack. 7 @Skasi - you're right that the model's size might have a lot to do with perceived uselessness. It's a problem throughout ZK.
