In discussion about the obvious lack of punch the copperhead gives, the idea of a making heavy AA should be considered, since it comes from the heavy factory. Why not make it more expensive and give it a screamer missile, but slower loading than the static, maybe with other nerfs... I think it would reflect the factory more accurately...Im sure there's pros and cons but I think it would be worth a discussion...

Copperheads are somewhat weak against planes but they are really good against gunships. Most of the time unless the numbers are huge copperheads can even beat planes for cost. Remember that they are also fast and high health, so they can react to planes spotted on radar quickly. I think they are fine now.

Selling point of copperheads are speed and aoe damage. Even if they seem underpowered against single licho they can really rape banshee or fighter stack flying close to them. I think copperhead is fine now.

I missed the memo on copperheads being weak. They always seemed to me like treaded biker Archangels from hell.

the only fault with the copperhead is it dies easily to direct assault from air and its high weight

If there's any aa unit that needs buff it's probably crasher..

Lack of punch? What? Copperhead is epic as AA. It's 2nd with Archangel right after sea AA.

Copperhead shreds through gunships like they were paper. It is super fragile, though, and weak vs shadows. I like that. Gives the unit a lot more character than most AA units have.

Also, don't forget how fast it is.

Copperhead is more anti gs than air, id prefer the same cost in most other AA units than the copperhead. But a heavier mobile AA units would be interesting .. a near pure AA strider would be neat.

copperhead is good vs gunshits, flail is good vs planes. each one is unique and i like it this was. shredder is part of sea, which says everything. but i prefer archangel over copperhead.

Well I always though that any flak gun should be able to shoot both air and ground (see: natzis in WW2 lol)
Still HVAA is the only mobile AA (may be except shredder, but thats water) that can stop shadow spam, mostly due to it's AoE.

archangel can do. it also can escapejump a shaddowswarm to get some seconds more dpsing them.

but obviously a pack of jethros is a nice choice too. look at the price tag and the SURPRISE SURPRISE effect. also, high numbers of anything are also counter to shaddows.

ground "mobile" AA will be always inferior to catch highly mobile planes anyway. with good intel, any planes player will just avoid defended zones if he cannot see to make cost, for e.g. a singu which will lolplode a base worth 9001 metal...
