For some reason artillery wasn't exploding. I had set it at 75% odds last time I edited it. Just making it explode again.
It really needs to explode. It only costs $600 and is pretty powerful. This is its drawback, to make it vulnerable if player bunches them up.
Nobody uses repair bay, because it's not a pre-requisite for anything, and it's expensive. Reducing cost from $1200 to $600.
To compensate for its lower value, its HP are being lowered as well, from 800 to 400. Now it should be killable with an airstrike, which is about right.
To anyone paying attention: there has been some discussion over whether repairs should be cheaper. I am agnostic on the issue for now. How about we see if people like the repair bay more now and consider using it, before making further balance changes? Open to discussion.
Chinook had "Re-arms at: HPAD" entered in its rules, even though it has no weapons. This is what caused it to return to base when you hit 'F' instead of land.
Now it lands again when you hit F. *phew* so happy :)
Sniper range of 7 seems ridiculous, since it's a one-shot kill, and you can build multiple. (I support building multiple). Surprised I never noticed this issue before.
The range in C&C 95 was 5.5.
The ScanRadius is set to 5, which is probably why we haven't noticed any OP problems.
It's also a bit ridiculous since the unit's sight radius is only 5.
Making bridges indestructible.
Rationale:
-many maps don't work when bridges are destructible (most or all of the crossings are bridges)
-bridges will be repairable in the future. At this point, an engi can come and re-open it, but in the meantime, they shouldn't be destroyed.
-if someone wants to make a map with destructible bridges, they still can, by editing the .yaml themselves. This should be the default, though.
(FWIW, bridges were not destructible in C&C 1.)
Mobile SAM launcher name shortened.
Stealth tank time increased 80 -> 90 until https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/2898 is addressed.
Shortened a few other names.
Fixed some descriptions.
- don't search for NATs forever, 5 seconds seem to be enough
- disable the UPnP checkbox if discovery failed
- no computer industry acronyms in user GUI
- don't remove port-forwarding twice, just once on shutdown
- user-configurable settings for debugging
Animations were faster than they should be. Reduced to 80 tick. They look appropriate now and close to the original.
I made TMPL and FIX 60 because it looked more natural. TMPL is slow to begin with, but it looks ok at 80, too.
