Hello everyone,
I'm new to this board, as I never had been bothered by something in the last two years, therefore I had no reason to post something. But one change in the last big update (8.66 -> 8.67) has been spotted by me and my friends as a bad point of imbalance: it's the change of the base towers, so that rebuilding them does not save the base anymore. The point of imbalance results in the late game, where people are able to buy a skyfortress + 5 gold hull being able to destroy the base by bombs even if your team is much stronger. It is annoying because u can be able hold the mid and kill most of the enemy's in a normal battle, but you are not able to stop the sky fortress from bombing the base, even if one player is fixed to it, to catch it with nets and stuff while the others try to kill it before it lays the bomb... defusing the bomb dont work in the most cases, even with heavy weapons. so a weak team can win because u cannot stop it from using this tactic. one possible solution without reimplementing the safety function for your base due rebuilding towers would be a defuse kit for the bomb, maybe it is possible to have a more advanced mine defuse pack being able to handle it. in my oppinion the reimplementing of the tower function would be a better solution as the attempt of fastening the game should not cause a lack of balance which should have priority over all. also there is big part of bt lost, if u are not able to do normal defenses anymore if some people use "smart" tactics like mentioned above.
We have made a replay from the last situation, when the problem occured.
kind regards,
