Vtols or not vtols

Post by Iluvalar »

Hello friends and foes !
I'm evaluating the vtols, for NRS+ maybe for the current balance as well, i'm not sure.

I have a good idea of what is happenning with the vtols. But i'd like you opinion about all this. I'm affraid that if I push the evaluation of the vtols capacities to more realism, I'll end up with a purely balanced vtols like I have right now with borgs. I can but... is it really what we'd like ?

We would end up with vtols in most of the games. We would flip to vtols as soon as the opponent have some type of weapons as we do with cyborgs. I'm not sure I'd like to play games where 33% of all the units are generally vtols...

Am I right to say that we dont really want vtols to become main stream ? Am I right to say that, we want the vtols to be useful and playable BUT only in some rare scenarii ?

Could I ask you guys how much % chance would you like to see a standard player going for vtol as a main strat ?

You're right about how vtols in most games isn't that great. I would like to see a 30% chance of a player going for vtols.

We go for hovers or tracks most of the time, why don't we go for VTOLs most of the time?

you are so wrong :Gigakach_01:
VTOLS are a blast to play and if you know what you are doing you can make for some fanf'ingtastic games that require skill!

I dont know... maybe I feel it's a tank game ? Vtols being a background thing, not a main feature ?
