Erm, Archangel range hasn't changed since the 2.2 betas... Are you talking about before that?

I think he was talking about the Archangel range before the 2.2 betas (25000 instead of 15360 or 195 tiles instead of 120 tiles) if he was refering it's "wide map range".

Don't take Mr_E too seriously. I have to deal with him in real life and he's just as much of a pain. His favorite Warzone strategy is turning off VTOLs and then using Cheat Engine to spam Archangels. I'd hate to think about what he's going to do with the transports now...

I'm not sure But the overall look Of pre-3.0-1 is not as crisp and clean as trunk is. Just the impression I get from looking at the cliff textures.
I may be wrong
Regards Berg
PS: Ignore that above seems the texture page size was stuck on 256

Yeah, reality sucks

Meh... No VTOL games are for people who neglects AA defense or don't know how to use VTOLs/can't stand for being owned by VTOLs
...and then using Cheat Engine to spam Archangels.
This is real intriguing
The Black Dragon Clan do not tolerate cheating in Warzone and take this very seriously. Members who got caught using Cheats/Hacks in Warzone will be immediately banned from our clan
I'd hate to think about what he's going to do with the transports now...
Maybe... spamming Super Transporters with something bad-ass inside?
Sorry for posting off-topic stuff. Now we can go back to the topic.

hey i'm adapting my strategy to support vtols i actually have a good Vtol and ground strat, yes i use cheat engine and i am working to fix it, and about the "map wide" thing what i'm referring to is, this: i could build Arcangels in my base on one side of the map... say 8c-wheel, build a sensor tower on the other side and they would still be able to own enemies, if you want me to leave BDC i will then...

Shooting over walls

I liked to place towers behind walls or six packs of hardpoints - 2x3 scourge is my favorite - in the previous versions. In 3.0 this does not work as before, towers behind walls do not fire over walls most of the times.
- The mini rocket tower is not firing as long as the attackers stick to the wall.
- mini-rocket.png (180.45 KiB) Viewed 8878 times
- Here, none of the MG tower is shooting, only the flamer is.
Before I open a ticket I would like to know if this behavior is intended.
Also, I noticed flickering when I jump at place of the map, e.g. by hitting

Yes, as part of the new targeting code, shots will not pass though solid objects (including your walls), so if a tower does not have line-of-sight to a target it will not fire.
To get similar results to what you are trying to achieve, try using indirect fire weapons like mortars.

Does this mean if you have a cluster of hardpoints, only the front line will fire?

this version will promise to be good !!!!!!!!

Seems so. If this is intended, it does not work properly yet, because sometimes towers behind walls shoot like they used to.
Anyway, I think this is a major change of gameplay and voids a lot of peoples strategies.
This means that you cannot protect towers by walls, which is very useful to defend your base in early game phases, especially against AI opponents who tend to throw lots of units at you in the beginning.

There's just a dead zone right near the wall, but it looks correct. I didn't notice anything unusual. I just protected a row of towers by walls, and it worked well enough. But still, yeah, it certainly affects the game balance. But i like the way it affects it (:
By the way, i recommend seeing this to everyone who says that "AI opponents who tend to throw lots of units at you in the beginning"
