Since you are so close to your opponent, every units counts, and upgrading mexes early can get you killed.

You can kill mexes with them. Think of them like Hunters with AA guns. They are amazing harassment units for that reason. You don’t need to kill mobile units with Slammer ground attack.

Can you actually kill anything other than a scout with it? *looks at database* 10 DPS (effectively quite a bit less) at range 18... not much to write home about. It could be useful if the range were the same as the AA mode, so you could harass PDs. I always thought the sky slammer’s ability was just another Cybran gimmick.

Now, if they could fire out of transports, you'd have an awesome AA aircraft and some neat gunships that track their targets. Even better if other things would work on a transport. Engineers that can repair the transport? Aerial missile launchers? OK, maybe that's not practical for the same reason tanks shouldn't fire out of gunships. Heh, a commander that can reclaim, build and overcharge stuff on the ground. >:) You can switch to ground attack, but it’s next to useless because of their terrible aim and nearly useless attack.

Landscouts and T1 Airscouts are effective radar, especially for attack forces, but I think on a map that small, where a single T1 Radar Tower hits a good portion of the map, it's a good investment, as you don't have to worry about losing it to enemy fire during the battle. Just my opinion, I'm ranked in the 2600's, so the types of games I have been playing are at a different level than yours! Loui - Maybe you did have a Radar Tower that I didn’t catch.

You rarely ever see this ability used, and many players probably don’t even know about this capability." Uhm yup, I had no idea. I'll have to look for this toggle? 0__o “In the south, Cauldron does a very good job of toggling his Sky Slammers to fire at ground units.
