SUPREME COMMANDER EPIC  

YES!! After-Action Report is something I've been jones'ing for for years! LOVE YOU GYLE!

Gyle needs to learn that this is a common tactic. A T4 shield penetrating mercy strike. He wanted to get the anti nuke but missed

"@Gyle you should do this on all your casts...." ...At least, on all the casts where you miss something important. : P

I think in the patch notes they claimed it was to balance the Ahwassa's ability to completely delete entire T3 land armies. Seems that's still very easy to do given its only like 1 second after it hits initially for it to do full damage.

I think it's worth it. The delay makes the explosion look cool af

@@acurefordeath Don't disagree on that!

Now they need to do the same with the Aeon regular nuke missle. I've always thought it was weird that all the damage occurs at the initial impact, yet that awesome, even larger after-explosion doesn't seem to have any effect at all.

THIS! Good eye mate!

Actually, Astronom was the one who sniped him with the nuke

That's like saying, "If you want to continue living, it's important to breathe." : P

@@moistmike4150 looks like you got the jist of the lesson. Good on you m8

Same here. Only no scotch just some Covid ;-)

What a fine time to be alive! In all seriousness, friend. :3

The billy can hit things in the water to a certain depth. The inner damage ring does 12,000 damage I believe.

Spoken like a true dirty cybran. They can tell with a mazer strapped to chest and need 10 pd to defend but a UEF tele that can be countered by 2-3 Tmd is broken. All the devs play cybran evidently. Lol

@@rme8554The difference is the range on the billy and the AOE. Can tele in and snipe from 5km away. At least with a Cybran tele-mazer, you have to be within comm attack range to do anything useful, and has 0 AOE.

@@rme8554 Actually, all devs ARE Cybrans (they wear human skin to cover their techno-dermis)

I think anyone could have seen what could happen when they changed it so you can both teleport and billy-nuke at the same time. Why the change was made in the first place is questionable at best.

I was wondering about that too, since billy and tele used to be mutually exclusive, but I guess it was just an error on the devs' part.

Yeah, valuable to your opponents. HA! See wut I did there!?! : p

Yeah - Weird game this one.

33:24 definitely looks like aa intentional ctrl-k by pickupmaster trying to kill the SMD with the bomber wreck (using the bomb to time how much long he need to wait to wait before ctrl-k-ing), but he miss timed it. It can't be from bomb impact on shield - the bomb do a max damage of 11k, not nearly enough to down the nearly max HP experimental bomber with ~52k hp

WOW I didn't see that, that's crazy!

:D

Shields don't protect from nuclear explosion damage. Regular nukes ignore shields completely and hit the ground/target regardless of shield coverage. The Billy nuke is basically a tactical missile with a nuclear warhead, which means it will explode when it hits a shield bubble, but the damage it does ignores shields. A T3 shield has large enough radius to mostly protect the shield gen itself from a Billy nuke, only taking some damage. But if you have a unit close to the edge of a shield bubble and the Billy impacts the shield close to that unit or on the ground close to that unit, the shield won't help you because it doesn't block damage from nukes. Team 2 knew Team 1 was upgrading to a teleporting nuke ACU well before anything happened. Team 2 should've built tactical missile defenses. They had the time to do so. Nukes would be completely useless if shields blocked their damage. Apparently this is the case in SupCom 2 in which you can defend your base from nukes by building enough shields. This whole game was kind of odd as few players protected their ACUs properly and they also didn't react to any emerging threats to their ACUs. Maybe everyone is used to having full share on where losing one or two players in a 6 vs. 6 match doesn't matter that much.

Yeah, that's reserved for idiots like me!
