Re: Elite 2.8 BETA Link

Anyone have the installers for older editions hanging around? I feel like the game was in a decent place in the 2.3-2.4 area.

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

I've always hated specials... people in this community will use RNG as a dirty word but don't have any problem with random proccing specials. Madness.

Re: rangers xd

I would say a single ranger squad isn't even that OP - I can usually deal with an Eldar comp that has 1... they become an abomination when you get these cunts who build as many as 4 of them.

I loaded up a game vs AI to get a side-by-side of the two. Looks like CPM have more flesh-toned helmets. I'm not really sure what the big black spot is, could probably do without that in the portrait... maybe it is supposed to be a horn.

Re: 2.8 Non-Consensus Thread (Part 2 of 2)

The comparison of Kasrkin and GMs isn't just about raw DPS comparisons. Kasrkin are also faster, have two grenades, an ability with speed boost and suppression immunity, and can get increased capping speed (also, I could have sworn they have decent melee damage for an IG ranged unit - not massive, b...

Re: Ranger kinetic shot

I don't think the fact that it is piercing matters - it matters what kind of damage source it is. The damage from the splash is not a ranged attack, it's an aoe effect from an ability.

Re: Can more badges be ported from DoW III?

There is a way to make custom badges for DOW2. If you look up how to do that you can just make them yourself by making appropriately-sized copies of the DOW3 badges and sticking them in whichever folder custom badges go in.

Re: Chaos faction balance; weaker units.

Aspiring Champions : These guys have the same health for marginally more damage over an SM seargents. However, the base health of the squad is already lower, which makes the unit they are in quiet glass cannony. Which makes sense, as these are whelps with inferior equipment and probably geneseed th...

I was thinking specifically of drop pods for SM - could a friendly drop have a different colour indicator on the ground than an enemy one so people know how to react to it?

The fire prism should not even be in this comparison. It's a different class of vehicle in the way it is used. It should be classified more like vehicle artillery.

Re: Leman Russ.

The Vanquisher is fine: as Torpid said, the upgrade sacrifices AOE, so it is only good against vehicles and maybe for picking off single models at a time (which is usually not the most efficient use of a tank's time in T3).
