Athena and snipers

sort
jseah 13 years ago Athena can fly around while cloaked. This lets it reveal snipers by moving next to them. While the athena stays cloaked itself. I love it. XD +0 / -0
jseah 13 years ago Why? Strategies are meant to be shared. Bugs and unintentional behaviour should be reported. (which I suspect this might be) Eg. You can drive skeeters (scout boat) into a shipyard's collision volume and this makes skeeters immune to attack from outside the shipyard. Related to the old bug about driving fleas into cloaky bot/light veh/heavy veh/hovercraft factories. +0 / -0
xponen 13 years ago It isn't a bug. Sniper really has a bigger "decloak" radius than athena: which in contrast has a very small "decloak" radius. This mean athena can see Sniper but sniper can't see athena! :) +0 / -0
Saktoth 13 years ago Burrowed fleas, ticks, roaches, spies, scythes and anything under a cloak generator does the same. Fleas are particularly good at this. This is because the sniper has a very large decloak radius, to make it easier to find. The skuttle has a similiar decloak radius, and you can use the same units against it. +0 / -0
jseah 13 years ago All right, fully intended behaviour then! I just like athena even more now. But then again, I love cloak in general. And the athena is fully worth the cost just for its scouting potential. +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 13 years ago Athena doesn't need a decloak radius that small so it could be changed. Athena shouldn't even have 9bp... which silly person did that... +0 / -0
[pikts]wolas 13 years ago Why not, I never seen problem with that. One fighter = 500 m wasted. +0 / -0
[DE]Rick 13 years ago What about random decloaks? I see my units decloaking randomly quite often. Energy was full and there where no units close to it. +0 / -0
thefirstfish 13 years ago Athenas are so hard to use effectively that I don't see any reason to nerf them. They die if they're sneezed on. +0 / -0
[DE]Rick 13 years ago If anything they would need a buff +0 / -0
