@TheLegendOfAbeWI think you're missing the point completely, because nowhere did I mention air transports. Of course you're not going to take out air transports so easily with the Lis rocket. Air transports have been overpowered in the health department for a long time.
Lis can still one-hit-kill all jet fighters and attack helicopters. That's not a problem in itself -- but it is when the game's class/specialist balance is so whacked that Lis becomes overrepresented in the Engineer department.
@AnarchiesxAh, my apologies, I guess I've just been too distracted by the transports lately to care about anything else. Other air vehicles are definitely quite exposed when vulnerable to a single shot, but I think any large debuffs to Lis' rocket would make air transports even more difficult to take down. Do you think it would be a good solution to increase the health of other air vehicles or reduce the damage of Lis' rocket to them in particular so that they could take only about 2/3 health damage from one?
@TheLegendOfAbeWI don't think you have to mess with the rocket damage at all. Lis rockets should one-shot most air vehicles to reward skill. I certainly don't think they needed to buff its range, however. That was incredibly stupid, so now Lis can hit most air vehicles when she's across the freakin' map.
I think sensible nerfs are the following: 1) reduce its flight time, maybe not down to 450m where it was, but it needs to be lower than 750m currently; 2) decrease carrying capacity from 2 to 1, as this will lower the number of Lis rockets coming at vehicles every minute. Her launcher ability is on a cooldown anyways, so it just doesn't make sense why she needs to have the ability to shoot two rockets so quickly. This would also stop her from being so oppressive against ground vehicles. She is meant to harass them, not single-handedly destroy them so often.
Finally, buff Boris and Crawford. People are picking Lis because she's the obvious choice to play when engineer. Both Boris and Crawford are terrible right now and there's no reason to pick them over Lis. Making them more attractive picks would also decrease the total number of Lis rockets flying.
As for air transports, I've always felt they're too tanky. Period. Reduce their HP. By how much, I dunno. Don't want their HP lowered too bad or else they won't be worth picking. They are transports and are meant to be just a little tanky so they can get soldiers to the objective OK, but they're just too tanky right now. In fact, I'm sure the air transport HP is more overpowered right now with more players having ready access to the repair tool.
edit: range is 600m, not 750m.

it is 600 not 750
