An In Depth Overview of the New Build: 61250

depressing fact: sharks killed 12 people in 2012, humans killed approximately 100 million sharks.

Also, I love the updates Brian!

Not really stuff I missed, but stuff that I didn't include. This was a general overview. As I said several times in the thing, it doesn't include every single detail. I also didn't include all of the yaw changes. I just included what I believed to be the most important.

And if you clicked on the Leviathan, I got the Leviathan details on there. Just didn't mention every single detail, because this was a general overview.

Thanks for the Leveler catch.

On the topic of corrections:

Who's more accurate? I could see it being possible (if unlikely) that Raevn missed a direct damage value, but consistency between different overviews would be nice.

[And again trying to be polite makes me sound overly sarcastic/aggressive... I really need to learn where the balance is. *sigh*]

It would appear that we're both right, but Raven simply didn't include all of the details.

The Boom has a splash damage of 1,000, but a damage upon the explosion of 5,000. Technically, it would appear that the Boom does 5 explosions over the course of 1 second for 1,000 damage each. I'd need to test the actual implementation though.

Ah sorry, I didn't click through - just thought you may have missed it as per the leveler.
I also forgot about splash + direct damage - so the alpha strike is actually 4800 damage

rate_of_fire doesn't say how many times something fires, just the gap between each shot. Since there's nothing that defines the salvo size, I assumed it only fires once as it has the "self_destruct" flag set to true (and would therefore die after just 1 shot). Haven't tested in-game though, so i could be wrong. Saying it had 5000 DPS would be technically correct though

Hmmmm.

Maybe it is only 1k damage. 5k damage woulda been a ton.

Should do some testing...

It's 1k. 4 or 5 would kill a commander with just three bombs, which isn't what I saw in my games.

Makes more sense. Looks like cola_colin needs to tweak the PA DB.

Something that I've noticed is that reviewing a game works much better now. Before I would get really weird things going on, like units travelling underground and building just appearing out of nowhere, but the chrono-cam after action review works as a much better replay now.

rate_of_fire is number of shots per second, not time between shots.

In any case, the boom DPS is broken.

How?

The DPS is displayed as 5000.

Or are you telling me that it's a bug if 3 booms don't kill a com?

Yeah, we still need to do a whole pass on how those numbers are displayed. Makes little sense to display a self-destruct unit's damage as DPS.

I'm not 100% sure but i think Air fighters flight trajectory has been improved : They are not changing their direction like land units anymore. They are smoothly breaking left/rifht now. Well i hope this will improve again.
I would like to see them flying along nice curves

In the blueprint yes; but I meant in the sense that they are directly translatable, ie. time between shots = (1 / rate_of_fire) seconds.

The new generator lighting is a bit... headache inducing. Or at least, that potential is there.
It looks cool, just don't stare at it.

Also found that gunships have the turning circle of an oxwagon. It's MASSIVE. I'm not complaining but I did giggle a bit at it

No the display is correct.

5000 dps for 1000 damage every 0.2 seconds. However a single bomb does not attack 5 times. Ever

IF it attacks :| I just want to bomb rape someone swarm them with a thousand of them! Nothing will stop them, unless it is awkward and they just stand there waiting to die in a bad way and not the gooey splodey way
