I think they should only have a small circle directly on top of their head where they could target in the orbital shell, only if you have orbital vision/radar. I think it would be nice for balance (it would make sure that anchorspam has more counters for example). The umbrella would still be usefull because it has more range and it is tier 1. I tought about it for a bit and i think this could make the balance in the game a lot better.
Most tactical missile units do this in RCBM. It's pretty great. We really need units that can fire against the orbital layer so we have more ways to attack Anchors other than to build 20 Avengers. I support this idea.
I think that there need to be more (and properly balanced) orbital units that shoot the ground layer as well.
I suggested this a long time ago too. As well as targetting air ofc. Great minds think alike though. Tactical missiles aren't used by tons of units in that other mod, umbrellas just shoot down orbital and air, and some units will too. Still, tactical missiles shooting down orbital gives bots a big utility. As long as that t2 bomber... idk, that seems like it would be OP if it could unless range reduce.
Recently i got anchorcreeped more often, since this strategy is about as lame as the peltercreep strat from alpha i think it should be made less viable like the peltercreep aswell. This looks like a way to do that while adding awesome and making better T2 veh-bot-air balance imo.
I like the idea of tactical missiles being able to target space, although there needs to be better ways to invade planets from orbit. It's already very easy to lock down a planet and make it impossible to land on. We don't want to make it worse.
Umbrella's have a large area where they can target. Tactical missle units only can aim at a very small area right on top of them.
So because orbital transports are barely functional, there can be no additional types of anti-satellite in the air and land layers.
The umbrella is a basic building, you can make it with every fabricator. At the moment it is relatively cheap if you see how much metal cost of units it can shoot down. Also, instead of having to make like an advanced bot lab and 50 advanced bots you make 1 umbrella. The only thing i see as a potential problem is the T2 bomber being too powerfull so that might need some tought.
