That's been the plan since 1.0.

Here's the thing you should keep in mind though, EtoH units are crazy expensive. Kirov tanks are 1000 creds per company. Your T4-Bs are 550 (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and are much tougher. Thus in theory you could field four T4-Bs against 3 Kirovs for just an extra 100 creds. Then the fight would be much more "fair". In general though I feel the NR has the worst ground forces in terms of unit composition and credit cost. I think the rebalance will help this, as well as the new NR armored freerunner and other unit.
Also, plex infantry just shred Kirov tanks too, but have a tougher time against T4-Bs.
Alright, that's fair. I hadn't really factored in price. I would also have to agree they have the worst ground forces lol, though Corran Horn's force sight in combination with bombing runs and orbital bombardments offsets this weakness greatly lol, and makes battles a little boring

« on: March 29, 2012, 06:37:48 PM »Is it just me, or do the missiles the Kirov light tank shoots hit for a lot more than they should on a light vehicle? I actually fear sending a group of T-4Bs against a group of these things, because sometimes at close range they'll hit for like 1/4 of their health, which seems a little over the top to me. At longer ranges its fine because they are wildly inaccurate at ranges of more than a few meters, but with the T-4B having to get in close to fire, you can't really keep them at a distance.
