Aircraft in RACE maps

[iRobot]

If multiple hellbenders focusing on one flying craft is an issue, perhaps just add a second havoc/venom/raptor/UFO.

Lots of people want to fly the things, it's always a mad dash to the spawn point on map start, and then camped thereafter.

Also regarding the dragonfly, I think the atlas need some tweaking, it still feels like shooting darts against a tank...

From the other side of the fence, I find the Atlas to be plenty powerful and spammy. However, it's still not as bad as the Lightning Gun in Sunshine.

Muh UFO.

I intended to keep Atlas defenses against the Dragonfly more powerful at the beginning, to reduce the annoyance from the bomber as shielding is what's important in there, until people would go and try to play that way. But that ended rare to be seen and since that I consider Aircrafts in RACE maps vs. ground vehicles concept a failure. So I prefered to keep it the way that the aircraft doesn't choke the game very much.

Maps without aircraft are very one dimensional. If a hellbender breaks free and gets a headstart, there's no way to catch them and it becomes a procession. Aerial units help to combat this.

[iZumo]

That depends on the map, but yes, it's true in general (assuming the bender doesn't have to fight the aerial vehicle more than once en route to single objective).

Changing vote to dislike for Venom/Havoc

They're unbalanced in current form.

Idea is workable but they're unkillable atm - too agile and most of the aircraft weaponry outranges the hellbender.

[iRobot]

Will Venom/Havoc be nerfed, due to the majority being negative toward it?

Vehicle factories has been mentioned a lot, ETA on that?

I like / enjoy Dragonfly
I like / enjoy Raptor

Benders could get tractor beam as a second wep on the rear seat to pull the aircrafts (and only aircrafts, not other benders).
