Marshall and I try out a dual cast of two Realm members playing a 1v1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkpy7vN0lYY
Watching those orphaned tanks was just painful. Also, with that tank blob at the end, some mobile arty wouldn't have gone amiss. The splash is really quite important. Those advanced laser towers are pretty impressive, though. Not really relating to this game much, but I think bots are way underused. Blue's base where all his energy was was totally naked for 90% of the game, and the ability of bots to run away very fast shouldn't be underestimated. Flanking a formation of tanks can be pretty deadly because of the turret turn rates. It's especially good with Slammers vs. Levelers.
You make great points! Bots seem a little underpowered but they have good advantages. Air as well is a little underused, but I'm sure players will start to develop strategies to use them effectively.
