What if I told you that puppies are OP as AA?

Would you nerf them?
Because I won't tell you that they are OP then...

against some of the gunships, maybe.

against planes?

you need like 3 to stop each raven, and the fire bomber can blast large groups of them.

With some luck you might only need 1 or 2 to kill a Raven.

I'd probably say "it's just as well since toad is unbuildable until lategame".

If you want to be more creative, you can just force fire the puppies to avoid AOE damage, or to fuck with other raiders movement to get them close.

yet the AI builds a toad 45 seconds into the match if it sees your gunship factory...

Jumpbots have pretty good AA capabilities on the moderator and the puppy, the heavy jumpbot AA is a noob trap

Jumpbot has powerful flex AA to allow Toad to cost 550. Spending 150 in Puppies to kill a Raven does not seem too OP. If you only need one or two 410 damage Puppies to kill a 1000 HP Raven then I'd say you've found an exploit (or someone who really stacks their Ravens).

toad sucks for its cost.

it costs 10% more than ettin, yet:
- 7% more hp but still killed by 2 raven bombs (same as mobile AA that costs less than half as much)
- 2/3 as fast, but can jump
- has 10% more dps, but only at a slighly shorter range
- has no AOE while ettin has some (this also means that radar wobble can make it miss completely)


assuming the AOE was worth the same as jump, the 7% more hp and 10% dps would be enough to justify the cost increase witout ANY movement speed drawback.

as it is, maybe instead of costing 10% more than ettin, it should cost 10% less...

toad's ok, ettin's great but I just solved his "with a little luck" tip. You walk out of the base with one or two, and with a little luck, reach your target no-fly zone with a handful. A jump, nor AoE, are superior to the puppy proliferation technique.
I'm listening big homie

edit: misread a post. Suffice it to say I disagree with raaar's opinion on anti-air as per usual.

Waitt, does that mean a Puppy can survive an impact now. Reusable puppies for everyone!

The puppy flies long enough that the game considers it a "miss" respawning the puppy, while the Raven collides with the "missed" projectiles. Then the respawned puppies fire again and this time "hit".

It looks like the Puppy missiles time out just before they hit the Raven, which, for some reason, causes the Puppy to be respawned.
