This has been a tough decision. I have nerfed the napalm damage from 65 to 35 commited by reaperrr since at 65 they were still one shotting weapon factories and airstrips. The problem however was that it still did way to much damage. Bringing the Vulcan down from 25 to 15 wood damage helps to keep it alive a majority of the time. (Still brings it to red at times.) Problem now is the airstrike is now a unit killing role rather then killing power plants and various other structures. (Doesn't exactly kill barracks/helipads everytime anymore.)
The extremely coarse, shared with terrain Ground and Water types make it hard to distinguish between different actor categories, so we add Ship to all non-submerged vessels.
Additionally, we add 'Water' to submerged subs to prevent players from finding them by moving the cursor of a ship with DepthCharge over the suspected sub position.
The latter also allows force-firing DepthCharge at empty water cells.
- increased ammo per gun from 9 to 10, for two full double-5-burst salvoes, adjusted ReloadDelay to keep total reload time about the same
- increased Spread by 33% to make up for lower effective pin-point accuracy
- increased damage vs. infantry by 25%, vs. light armor by 16.67%, vs. heavy armor by ~10%
The increased building hitshape sizes allowed TD airstrikes to kill even Cyards and temples on bleed, which is overpowered compared to before the hitshapes were merged.
Cutting bomb damage vs. Wood to 65% lets Cyards, temples and adv. comm. centres survive airstrikes with yellow health.
This fixes the following issues:
- units like mammoth tanks sometimes at first only fired 1 shot on new encounter because they only depleted 1 burst before previous target was killed
- weapons that use strafing logic would not reset the offset multiplier after passing the target once, leading to wrong offsets on following attacks
