Doxes are Overpowered now (with VIDEO as PROOF)

Indeed. And, oh snap: Bombers against a swarm of dox, bombers will get shredded. Bombers against just a few, bombers won't hit them.

Whaaaaaaaa?

(I'll admit to only watching the AI mess with the new bots.)

But christ, like, if they weren't going to do it with all kinds of units, why just the one?

How accurate is it?

Well they did it to the dox because there's no bot aa I suppose. Someone made a balance mod where it was like that too.. guess they got the idea from him?

Edit: I knew it, it was made by Elodea, kind of ironic actually.

Not very. But with enough of them, they'll blanket the skies with shells anyway.

I blame ZaphodX for mocking Brad Nicholson and his Dox attacks! (skip to 7.39 to see what i mean)

:/ huh.

I mean, like shooting down slow craft like gunships would be cool, but bombers?

Huh.... like could bombers get through? cost for cost wise?

It isn't about accuracy, it is about rate of fire. A blob of dox, all firing into the air, will hit something, and if a bomber flies overhead a bullet will hit them each salvo so they will go down.

Wolverines!

That's probably unwarranted, would be better with a dedicated AA weapon to also use.

Also, I have already seen that movie.

Revenge of the Dox! Oh, and Brad.

Well I meant 8m10s but the forums forces it as an embed and doesn't link the time after screwing with my perfectly fine link prior.

We have blasters!
One of those does nothing?
What about a hundred!
Wolverines?
*shot out the sky*
Alrighty, now **** stomp on the little kid!

So like, what is units didn't have the turret rotation speed of light?

The dox would only kill planes of opportunity, and flaking becomes possible!

But then they're tanks, dox are supposed to have quick turn speed!

Well for someone like you who had already balanced a major RTS I'm sure it would be easy.

Oh wait.... You haven't.

Well, make them faster then tanks, but still have a turning speed that makes a difference.

There are lot of situational effects that could come into play, but:

10,000 metal: 66 rippers vs. 222 dox

Both blobs given attack-move past each other.

67 Dox walk away, and go on to kill an idle commander.

All these replies were too long, so I didn't read them.

To OP:I think dox are exactly where they should be. Tanks should be backing up the dox, not the other way around. When have armys ever had more tanks than human beings? Never. Rhetorical question don't bring up statistics Infernos+dox= death army. In the Kickstarter trailer (yes, I know), you saw lots of bots, with big, heavy tanks to help them take damage, while dishing out some of their own.


If dox are nerfed back to tank fodder, I guess I'll have to go back to tanks, though.

*chuckle*

Ok, you got me there. Still; I've not had very many complaints about my first EVER attempt in RCBM.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

Maybe I'm just that good.

Who can say?

So Bombers and Fighters need to move faster in order to avoid being shot down by these pot-shotters (like the Aircraft in TA did).

And we could use a cheap machine-gun humvee or something, capable of taking out infantry.

I don't think the Dox are OP and that's because in my first game this patch somebody spammed Dox vs my tanks and they got murdered.
I think people are so used to having Dox be completely useless over the past two patches that they're overreacting.

The irony in that statement.
