So now that this patch has released, and “Air Superiority has been retuned across all three factions,” have the problems with the ASF’s been fixed?

What is different with Air Superiority now?

I’ve just had a thought, what does the AA prioritize now? would it still fire at a bomber over the guided missile? I bet GPG have forgotten to put it in :P lol

The community seems to consist of fat and lazy four year olds. So WTF ? A new version with a new unit appeared.
Your old tactics and build scripts need to be reevaluated. Cybrans who used to have all the advantage now don’t have it so easy anymore. Yes, you need to do some work now, maybe lose a few games until you develop new strategies. Instead of waiting a few weeks to see how things develop, players are in tears everywhere and complaining like four year olds.
Oh NOOOO. NOT FAIR… MOMMYY!!
Oh how they cry in fury.
It’s pathetic.

FYI T2 bombers will pick targets on patrol.

Laconic Youth: Umm, actually, cruise missiles sure as hell do create lift using wings. Hence the word "cruise" in the name. The Tomahawk cruise missile, for instance, has a range of 2,500 km and travels at a speed of about 880 km/hr. As you can see, it stays in the air for about three hours. That's much longer than the very short flight time afforded to these so-called future weapons in Supreme Commander, but then again, SupCom isn't realistic at all, and isn't really meant to be.

@ Daniel rutter: your complaints of the cruise missile are all shortcomings, yes.

However if those were eliminated, it would behave like a kamikaze aircraft, whereas it is in fact a CRUISE MISSILE. a missile does not patrol an area, refuel, or pick targets automatically. When a cruise missile is launched it should already have a target.

you want it to behave in a fundamentally different manner, forgetting that though it is controllable as an aircraft, it is not a true aircraft at all.

of course a missile crashes when it runs out of fuel. it is kept in the air entirely by the rocket motor. it has no lift, or gliding ability, unlike an airplane.

I have only tried the new units in a few games against some AI and i like them so far. the aeon missle seems like it is powerful but oh well, i like the diversity in factions, i think it should make for some interesting games. and the Cybran T2 Bomber is good to have a few on base defence petroll if you have some support up for them too up there too. havnt tried the UEF one that much yet but i like the napalm effect for it :D. YAY for faction diversity :D

I like the change in gameplay, the different reasons to choose different races. A little change in strategy is all that is required to adapt, give it a week or 2 and learn the effective counters. They ARE expensive and easily lost, they are a high risk high reward unit. Find the economical counter and hey presto, no more cries of “Nerf!”.

Give it some time ladies.

I don’t like them, I think the Aeon should have got t2 bombers aswell, similar to the t1 ones but better, or they should drop multiple bombs

The mercies definately seem too powerful. I’d be inclined to say tactical missile defence should work against them, at least to some extent. They shouldn’t be guided also. It’d be fairer if you could dodge them if you saw them coming.
