serpent is bugged

serpent sniper subs have 360degree ark of fire and can shoot while retreating

how hasnt anyone noticed this?

I assumed this was a buff that occurred in the months I didn't play ZK. Makes them 10x more deadly, and they seem to be somewhat of a deciding factor in almost every big sea game now. It's much harder to chase them down with a pack of snakes or hunters as they can take down at least 1 or 2 units while running.

There was a game where Wolas and I both had 7 or 8 serpents in dueling packs... great fun.

Honestly, I think all units should have the full firing arc in one form or another. Limited firing arcs are a tedious feature that ZK doesn't really need.

I believe they are currently slower than snakes and hunters by a small margin - it may make sense to increase the difference to compensate for firing arc / ease of micro.

I played some watergames and my problem with serpands was allways that they are to slow so that hunters and snakes can easily kill them (sometimes because of their stupid wayfinding). So you have to support them that makes them not really op if you think of their costs compaired to snakes.

quote: here is how you counter serpent. Make 3 serpents put them on hold fire as soon as motherfucked serpent show up attack, then win.

thats the only way to kill a serpent if your enemy isnt a dumb ass
