ION TORPEDO was hugely buffed (just a small talk)

@ggibb65

ATST can be one shotted into a weak spot with Ion torpedo.

@Tinogiggedy Starfighters are super weak against sniper rifles. 

@Rogue_Manda_YTI hear ya but if you get a good team in the fighters they end up dominating a game, snipers won't do it. I want to see torpedoes nerfed but not to the point they become useless again(im very fussy). 

@Tinogiggedy Indeed, they should play critical role and give heavy trooper the HEAVY power. But still vehicles should keep at least a certain advantage over infantry. And it should be infantry that needs to maneuver more, not vehicles. Vehicles are slow, sloppy and they should withstand a punch. Starfighters are fast, bud get a turbulence effect with every hit. I would love the starfighters to have a GA version, that would give them flairs... 

@Rogue_Manda_YT @Tinogiggedy - played last night where the teams were so unbalanced that the Ion torpedo was almost useless. By the time I got my first shot away, I was eliminated by players from behind, side or 2 AT-ST's working in tandem. Shows that the skills/tactics of the opposition are also a factor. We have talked about Team balancing on another thread but I would like to say here that last night was the worst I have seen it for a while. It was so bad some players were quitting mid game leaving the weaker team with only enough players to complete the game (which by the way was over - due to one team having the max heroes - before the first objective was achieved).

Ion torpedo nerfs incoming!

From the Elite Corps patch notes:

• Fixed an issue where Ion Torpedoes were too strong against vehicles.

As always, let us know after the update if it was a good balance change or the OP torpedos worked better for you 😉

For sure, I will. 😉

• FO's AT-ST in Crait

Because of the ION torpedo, I had to hide behind the AT-M6 at phase1.

At phase2, this point was good. I still could shoot the enemy from here (until my ally could touch the objective).

I checked the stats of NEW ion torpedo. 🤔

The damage was 200(Blast) + 100(Direct Hit), now it is 120(Blast) + 100(Direct Hit) !

Blast damage is -40%, but it seems still good enough. 

(I could not find any other changes.)

Since they toned it down ships are starting to become an annoying part of the game again, cheap play...like battlefront 1.  I would like for it to be buffed up against ships.

 Theres only 1 person seemingly a game that makes it a point to make sure ships and artillery don't become a constant annoyance.  Nothing worse than Crait when people just let the walker walk all over the objective reinforcement point after you get it down 30% health, and then act surprised when they loose the match
