Oh, muh GORDE. They fixed the formation AI! If you have units selected that aren't near each other and tell them all to form up somewhere, they all move right to where they should be instead of meeting in the middle. Yay! Only took six months and ten patches to get that fix! (If someone mentioned this already, oh well; I missed it.) Oh, muh GORDE. They fixed the formation AI!

It has fuel which it uses while stationary because it can not land. Also it does not refuel. Its one of those "use it or loose it" units. U get awesome firepower but short lifespan. there is a reason for mercy to blow up. or rather crash. It has fuel which it uses while stationary because it can not land. Also it does not refuel.

When you build Mercies they just kind of stack up and eventually they blow up for no reason. ^___^ I saw another reason why these new things aren’t unbalanced.

Another one would be dropping a nuke on a massive T3 powergen/massfab complex...

What have people noticed about that? I take it Air Sup. Fighters are a bit better now? I haven't seen either the Aeon or Cybran new unit, but I sure thought the napalm effect on the UEF bomber was a blast. I was playing with my buddies, and we were stomping an enemy base on a small map. I had a group of T2 tanks rolling through, and my buddy was dropping the napalm right in front of my troops on the point defenses. It was a lot of fun.

As a UEF player, I'm quite happy with the Janus, it fills a nice role of an upgraded and much more potent Scorcher. It is super-effective against massed units or light buildings/defenses, and attacks in a very different style than gunships which allows for tactical variety. I can't comment on the other two factions units as I have no experience with them yet. Maybe I'm just easier to please, but I have a lot of faith in Supcom and FA, and I'm willing to wait and pay a little for things to get improved. I'm satisfied that the T3 Air Superiority balance was fixed, we just had to wait a bit. I'm committed to the game for the long haul, I think my experience with TA Spring taught me a lot of patience.

But they haven't done that unfortunately. You misunderstood zordon, what I mean is if GPG improved all the units to make them more useful and improved the pathfinding then it would be a win for me.

But then not using those three unit slots to help develop more variety in T3 land units... wasteful. 3 new units… a little light.
