    well it's not good AA untill you get to giant balls of them, so why even give it AA? it doesn't hurt anything to get an AA bot back.
    squishypon3 and cola_colin like this.

    And why should dox rushes by stoppable by air alone? they should be stopped by ground units instead. Turrets and tanks. Especially if the rusher spent metal on aa: So don't use bombers, but go full out anti ground, as to make the aa units of the attacker a waste of metal for them. If they go full out dox only bombers can kill them instead. That's the big plus point of having multiple units that have to work together: You have to judge if you maybe can skip one in a certain situation or not and scout out if your opponent skipped one, so you can directly attack with whatever they are prepared for the worst. Having a unit that does everything sort of bad breaks that kind of play, as you know "ah he has dox, those do everything" and that's it.

    The vehicle AA is a slow moving AA right now. So far nobody has stopped making it in favor of turrets. There is a drastic difference between "static" and "moves as slow as a tank"

    depends on implementation ... because i remember well the times the spinner never got used and fighters being entirely worthless ...
    personaly i dig the dox as is ... it allows for a number of tactics while still being vulnerable ... and even if you get giant balls of them all your opponents need are tanks + own dox or a well spread ammount of bombers ... massdox aint a i win button ....
    on the otherside if you let me massdox you deserve it ...

    Yeah, I think as long as they can get balanced correctly and are different from the spinner, It would be good to have them back. I think it would be good to have an AA platform that can keep up with bots/not slow them down when in formation.
