can we reduce the claymore randomness at some point? Or just make it slower...............

My feeling has always been that the problem with the Claymore is that it is a high weight riot (HP falls about half way between Mace and Ogre) that moves like a raider. The only other real riot-raiders are the Pyro and Archer, both of which are much squishier. I'd say lose the speed and increase the range and/or projectile speed of the depth charge and have that charge behave more like a Scallop's underwater fire. Even if it moves like a Mace, it will still have the underwater clearance capability and AOE that make it fill a different niche.

what sea ballance? spam sea piliger wait for win,add sirens to make all attempts to kill them futile.
Claymore is like the only unit capable of countering seawolfs/scallops/ducks from hover.But somehow if cloked can decimate anything even sea piliger...

Problem with area cloaker in sea:

no sea flea that's reasonably cheap. Ducks aren't faster than crymores which makes them unused. Since sea riots (IE: claymore) are disproportionately strong/fast compared to land riots, sea devolves into porc (the only thing that can reasonably counter the shitter) which then devolves into artillery spam/cloaked shit.

Every.
Single.
TIME.

Look at this shit:

Name	Cost	Speed
Duck	80	84
Dagger	80	144
Cutter	70	156
Hunter	100	126
Claymore	330	99

Comparison:

Name	Cost	Speed
Reaver	220	51
Outlaw	250	57
Ripper	240	66
Mace	400	66
Venom	200	81
Redback	250	54
Pyro	220	90
Ogre	520	69

Claymore is ridiculous. It's faster than ducks and faster than most riots (even Pyro which is a raider/riot!). It is 22% faster than the fastest nonraider riot and 56% faster than the average land riot (63.429)! What's even more absurd is that it is 50% faster than the other riot in the hover lab.

It would be nice if claymore got a damage nerf or better yet: a redesign. Repeating gauss cannon, remove tracking, or reduce AOE would probably kick it back into line. Perhaps even reduce the speed and cut the range by a bit. Perhaps:
Speed: 99 -> 55-63 (~45% decrease)
Range: 270 -> 250

This would allow ducks to go around it and would expose it to scallop/Buoy fire more.

Area cloaker in sea is ridiculously strong for surface stuff, but has no benefit for amphs (who actually need it in today's team game meta). Imagine playing zk land, and enemy starts doing cloaked roaches. Now imagine trying to counter that with only glaives and bandits. That's the state of zk sea.

sometimes its not that easy to cook...
