Concerning 2.3 Beta 7 NTW mod...
VTOL transports seem way too hard to shoot down. SAMs won't even touch them. I have massive AA defenses and they still get thru. My friend will exploit this by always landing empty transports inside my base, so my artillery shoots at it, and I end up destroying my own base. Is there a way to stop my artillery from doing this?

commander with fire support assigned?
Sounds like the NTW mod needs some changes

Re: Transport shenanigans
This happens in the normal game as well, use either normal AA or Laser AA to kill transports, as they cannont be killed by SAMS...it is a bad bug at the moment...I hope this helps you.

Well, the flak batteries tend to do rather well against transports, so I just keep enough around to stop transports at my base. Plus, SAMs tend to be unable to stop any attack that is too large.

Re: Transport shenanigans
I do use flak AA. I put up so many Whirlwind and Cyclone that I couldn't build anymore and they still get thru with very little damage.
Also, what is laser AA? I don't recall seeing that.

Found your issue. Plus, the Stormbringer does ridiculously high DPS with max upgrades.RippleRocketMan wrote:I do use flak AA. I put up so many Whirlwind and Cyclone that I couldn't build anymore and they still get thru with very little damage.
