Sounds like fail micro for the attacker.

I guess he probably:
-kept shooting at solars instead of defense
-stayed in range of stardust, which has epic DPS and can kill even heavy units fast
-attacked hlt and stardust without killing repairing nanos first
-didn't kill defenders before they shot second / third salvo

Krow got over-nerfed in my opinion.

sorry for double post. Personally i like the mechanic that it cant shoot stuff that is underneath it. in its current state though it is useless, something needs to be buffed, hp, damage or maybe speed. I noticed there was a "blackhole generator" added to it in a changelog. I dont know what this is but it would sound as if this could fix the krow if its really awesome/useful


otherwise only reason i would make a krow is the new model.

The main nerfs were Speed, Range and Model.

Main changes r1000 to now:

• Size (40,20,40) -> (80,30,80) (model nerf)
• Speed 4.03 -> 3.4
• Range 550 -> 400
• Krow can no longer shoot directly downwards and takes a bit of time to aim
• It now has some kind of gravity weapon

So it has the same HP and DPS and now it even has some kind of gravity weapon. The issue with Krow was that it could run away far too easily and as such took a massive AA density to stop it from slowly picking off the defences.

It is a big unit that is good with retreat so I'll highlight r909. This reduced the turnaround time for large units which are able to retreat.

• Repair cost and time reduced to 33%.
• Repair time increased to 200% if a unit has been damaged within the last 10 seconds.

I believe that krow is still very good investment and i have seen it turn the tide many times.

lol give it jumpjets

It is a 5000 metal unit.

it hurts if it fails to break the front or can be avoided by a small amount of fighters.

I really suggest AA weapons and a black hole generator to kill one single building each 10 seconds.

Since the gunship lab has only a 300 metal AA unit who can also be used against ground and the Air lab only a 300 metal AA unit but a 2000 metal bomber, it seems fair to spend the gunship lab a 5 k metal AA unit.

The combination of a black hole generator and the temporary speed booster like the double / trible range of a jumpjet it is more usefull against eco and super weapons and less usefull for air support of the battlefield.

Maybe we can reduce the HPs and add a energy shield who only recharges if the main weapon or the speed boster don't recharge.

Or we can make a single recharge for speed boost and main weapon togheter.

But it's still a disadvantage if it have to aim for every unit - exspecially because it costs 5 k metal.

It is less effective than a Dante, less effective than this op super coms, but it can't be killed so fast by things like skuttle ...

Maybe we should make THIS:

- - - Advantages - - - - -|- - - Disadvantages - - -
All Terrain - - - - - - - | It is slow
It has much HP - - - - - -| It has low damage and have to aim each target
It can kill eco - - - - - | 3 chainsaws or flaks ( build against licho ) can make problems
can kill units fast - - - | It can't fire directly under itself - weak against some fast units
good to kill spread Aegis | can't kill an with more shields protected Aegis direct under itself
it don't spend your enemy metal by it's wreckage | it can be fixed soon
It is strong against commanders | it is weak against Air

But in my oppinion is it hard to defend it against massive Air - and this massive Air is likely in your enemies base or arrives really fast.

It shouldn't be used to kill a enemy army like Dante and Brawler.

It should be used to kill eco structures and nuke silos ...

It have to kill it through heavy porc.

-> Results:

It should be fast enough to kill this structures.
If it kill something it should be vulnerable at this time.
-> Warpdrive

It shouldn't be killed by enemy Air witch forces you to spend a horrible amount of Support-Fighters.
-> AA weapons

It should be used to kill single targets very efficient.
-> Black hole generator and long reload time.

It shouldn't suck so much energy for repair and should can repair itself in unprotected areas behind your enemies base while NOT attacking any ground units like base structures.
-> add shield, but reduce HP for balance, add recharge but only if not attacking.
--> Maybe we can reduce the HPs and add a energy shield who only recharges if the main weapon or the speed boster don't recharge.

...

I don't underestimate the hard work behind this model, but If I build a 5 K metal unit I want to micro it - else I can also build a Big Berta...

Wouldn't it be good to have such a unit?

you don't even need to change the model or the aiming ..

-> exchange the lazer effects with small flack effects ( half damage and 3 shots per minute for each turret ) so makes about 2.25 of the flak damage ( 1125 metal in flaks ) and add a shield and black hole generator to it.

The script can be like this:



Object variables:
charge = 0 to 10 seconds, default 10
disable warpdrive

Any action:
charge = 0
recharge()

OnCharged to 10
enable warpdrive

Shield recharge code:
Add if ( charge < 10 ) => do nothing.

On use warpdrive:
speed = 1000 %
charge = -1// don't recharge
disable warpdrive

On reach Waypoint
speed = 100 %
charge = 0// reenable recharge

I think we should make a Air-Demitrant !!!

If we can't turn Krow into this, use the old Krow for this role and the new Krow modell for the Air-Demitrant role with the Black-Hole-Ground-Attack.

Or turn the upside down and place a flak on the center :)
