Catapult should be able to target air with artillery.

1) It makes sense

How will it make sense if you hit a Helicopter's/Other Air Tank's shadow and he becomes damaged/stunned/killed? It wouldn't make sense - it'd just look goofy. If you think it'd be fast and easy to rescript the skill so it appears correctly, then pick up JASS and write a script up for them.

2) It makes the game more fun to play

Fun is merely opinion, and most of the people on these boards disagree with yours that it would be. I haven't seen many people outcry that it was a necessary change, as they'd rather see Pala/Velo build a new HB alternative, a new tank, or get the league up and running. It's not worth their time to add something a "little more fun" to a few people when they're working on things that would be "a lot more fun" to a lot more people.

Reread:

Don't confuse dumb luck with skill.

scron2 Wrote:And where I said sky tank I meant air ship. The "undercutting" or contradictions will exist as evidence that there really is no problem here. Just the fact that people disagree for no good reason. Maxxing mines certainly is more effective BUT the catapult shot adds more "fun factor".

Usually it means their argument is weak and they're resorting to BS to justify their reasoning, but I'll give it to you... Good job!

I just don't know how hard it would be to get it to work that way, how buggy it might be, and if it would be worth it. It would be really cool to smack a heli with it though. Smile

The Mappers only have so much time to add things to the map... They're planning to push out a new league and a new tank within the next couple versions. Having those would be much cooler Smile, wouldn't you agree?
