No different on changing laser drones, make it the most dominant cheap unit in ccr, slingshot has only one functionehich is  to attack air unit only and yet dev increase the price to become useless unit compare to attack bike and pitbull which is more cheaper and more function, i dont understand their concept of setting units price.

Slingshots were very clearly overpowered at 40 Tiberium. You can hide them behind another unit and take out air with it, just like you can hide Snipers behind another unit and take out infantry with it. So if the price for Snipers is correct at 50 Tiberium, why should Slingshots be cheaper?

So now mohawks cost the same is banshee? Although banshee can attack air as well?

 

Similarly tick tanks cost the same as scorpions. Although tick tanks can surely do more.

 

Also, a faster tlame tank costing 90? Zone troops and cyborgs are screwed now.

 

S tanks are gonna be a major pain now at higher health and speed. They are already hard to kill.

Mohawks have more hit points, and do higher damage to ground units than Banshees do. I am not necessarily convinced that Banshees absolutely needed this buff. Then again, I play them anyway, whether they cost 60 or 50.

@Mister_Crac slingshot are very easy to kill, so i dont think hide it will give any different, even 2 laser drones can kill slingshot with same level match, so imagine 2 units x 20tib can easily kill one unit x 50tib? 50tib will make slingshot become one of useless unit soon. Thats why i dont understand developer concept of setting unit price.

Yeah, this change seems nonsensical to me. A heavy tank should not ever be in the very fastest speed class.

It makes all the difference.

 

Also, the Slingshot shreds Laser Drones quite fast. Not convinced that two Laser Drones would be enough to kill one Slingshot, especially since the Drones had their damage and attack speed reduced now.
