Commander question

Are all commanders the same stats? Cause i purchased a new one and it is clear that his stats are nothing like the other non DLC commander i was using. He is slower, and dies way faster, but has more longer range guns and separate aa missiles. I can't find anything that says commanders are different, the official word is they are all the same. So whats the deal? The one i was mentioning above is chronoblip. I was using invictus, who clearly has more health and no aa launcher, etc. Am i just crazy?

They're all the same, and they all have AA missiles.

yes, you're just crazy, they're all the same, some have different effects for their weapons, but stat identical.

They're only different models and anything you perceive to be different regarding weapons and health is false.

Double ninja'd

There are two different commander gun effects depending on the commander, a pew-pew gun and a missile. The stats on these are identical though. Nothing else is different between any commanders, although I have head it said that the tank commanders don't turn as well as the others. This was probably unintentional and may have since been fixed in a patch though.

Guess i never noticed the difference. Weird i guess. Ah well, thanks for the quick reply. Still weird that i thought he moves slower and dies faster, must just be me.

Its your subconscious blaming something else for your loss.

The tank commanders do seem to turn around slower. But thats just me. The dlc commanders are a little bit expensive. If they where cheaper i'd bought one or 2.

you forgot the laser. Banditks, armalisk and more have that one. you can distinquish them by the following.

Pew Pew, 2 red bars
Laser, 1 red bar
missile, 6 rocketholes

He is the only commander that turns in place rather than turning to the left or right to turn around, so yes actually... the tank commander is the only commander different than any of the other commanders.

*Aeson and Banditks

They turn at the same speed as the other, but turn in place rather than turning while moving, which makes them take a little longer to retreat and are therefore less useful in commander boxing situations.

doesn't that make them less useful overall?

.... YEA WHAT THEY SAID!

This is a useful post.

Yes, yes it does.

@jables @tvinita Could we have this fixed? Meaning could we make it so that tank commanders turn in the same way as all of the other commanders?

Everything had been said so I thought I would add my intuitive deduction about the OP

So the others move forward while turning, wouldn't that bring them into the range of more units if they're having to turn around from a mass of units? Tank commander would be better in that instance I'd think...

I've never played as Aeson so I don't really know how he behaves.

When you turn around whilst moving it's quicker because you don't need to decelerate and accelerate as much when you turn in place. If you watch a tank turn when it reaches full speed and turns it'll turn in an arch, whilst if you watch it while it's sitting in place and tell it to turn around it'll be slower.

Bots turn in place, but for them it's actually faster than it would be otherwise due to dox ridiculous acceleration and their high turn rate.

Just to double check, you don't have the 'League Of Commanders' mod installed? If you have that then *there is a big difference between commanders*

That isn't anything down to Uber though as it is a community developed mod...

well some are just shittyer in the way they move because of the turn rate and speed.

Uber has been informed about this on multiple occasions.
