Angels are good even after archangel research, thanks to its weight and behaviour more like MRA. It's also questionable, if defender deprecates avenger AA, because avenger is also lightweight weapon. Also I did not try it at insane level - if you manage to get some corridor filled with nexus ground units, than rail/gauss guns could be a friend. Considering damage / armor balance between you and nexus adjusted for enemy advanatage, higher guns HP could be also useful.

And last - why tracks not hovers:
Nexus bodies proved to be as fast as NP or even faster. Unlike how it was in begining with project bodies, retribution or nemesis with tracks has little difference in speed with hovers, which is enough to successfully pursue units, retreating for repair, which is enough to score at least few certain kills from all attacked group. And if previously I had to use mantis for same speed, there's no more need to sacrifice speed or resort to hovers, which are of course fastest, yet drifting.

At least beta intro video (just before sending transport to beta) - it features rather auto-cannons at own base walls, but these turn out to be rather medium cannons than light (could it seriously be 70mm with such ROF even in canon?). In multiplayer - increase in vtol weapons range and rof is also great (assault cannon is awesome). Well, there are too much more notes about strange things I would rather write in proper topic (scavanger flamer outranging their MG tower - what must be smoked in order to write this :/ ))), may be incendiary cannon shells would be more logical, also plasma launcher is too generic as plasma cannon is also launcher - may be plasma howitzer is better ).
