Balance?

Question

When are they nerfing Salamandras and Cobras? if not, buff Mammoths and Kodiacs at least?

It's been more than a decade and I still see more NOD players than GDI ones. NOD's efficiency at high levels is unmatched compared to GDI's, Salamandras heal reducing RT significantly and Cobras shields are too good as well. For GDI? good thank you, Mammoths are expensive to level up, high RT and they have a useless upgrade. Kodiacs' upgrade is almost useless too since it doesn't block much and due to the speed difference between ground units most of the time it blocks ineffectively...

I've seen many times NOD players kill high level bases with just Salamandras and Cobras using a couple of hours in RT, all that thanks to their upgrades. For GDI the same base would take way more than a couple of hours in RT. For sure people will say there are Forgotten bases made for GDI and NOD attack units. But even in that case GDI is still very ineffective with RT.

For sure devs have analytics showing this unbalance and they haven't done anything about it.

not early game, how bout paladins doing more structure damage then spectres rocket militia or attack bikes?

Early game is pretty much balanced. Both factions spend very similar resources to kill forgotten bases, nerf paladins structure damage, we don't use them for their structure damage anyways. The unbalance happens later in the game, most NOD players use mass cobras + salamandras due to their very effective upgrades. You'll never see GDI players using mass paladins or kodiaks at late game stages.

i mean you can say those things but doesnt make em true, what is true is that the first high level base a good gdi player kills is with 4 waves of paladins and it happens almost 100% of the time. In fact, due to defence layout algorithms there are plenty more of those base defence layouts available to gdi than there are easy base kills for nod without verts and that makes gdi unbalanced at the start of a server, reducing paladin structure damage can bring a bit more balance to the early game and especially non morale worlds. kodiak mammoth stacks are and always have been the premier late game combo and gdi even gets the sniper much sooner than infantry based nod which baffles me. If you ask me, they need to introduce distance malus based on army level and increase the loot and rp for pvp.&nbsp;

maybe you just dont know how to use them but i cant see them reducing nod unit effectiveness or increasing gdi unit damage or unit durability.&nbsp;
