Hammerhead

[thealcani]

either it should rly shoot while moving as the discription says or it should cost MUCH less. plz fix as fast as possible shouldnt be that hard.

It does shoot while moving. The problem is it doesn't have a turret so it can only shoot ahead.

Another problem is not able to two-shot a same-lv Banshee making it not as effective as Phantom.

it needs 4 shoots for laser drones wich is a * joke. it costs 10ü and when are u able to Fly in a straight Lone towards the enemie. its overall just to underpowered for its cost. it also Deals almost no strukture dmg to the base so its useless to force a counter reaction. the phantom is pointless becsuse the banshee is strong enough on its own but GDI rly could use a strong counterplane

@xrmiao4 is correct.

Hammerheads have riader, but no turret. This means they can fire when flying towards their target. Same with phantoms. They also have a "makeup" mechanic when stationary and an enemy approaches from an angle it isn't facing, the hammerhead will fire 2 rockets straight away to make up for the time lost turning.

Yea, the hammerhead takes a little longer to clear drone swarms, but it wasn't meant for this. It was meant for taking down banshee's, inferno's and mohawks. Sending in a HH to take down a drone swarm is like sending a titan to clear wardogs. Yea, it can do it, but it's kinda a waste.

1 HH actually packs quite a bit base damage. It's actually quite worth it to drop one if the enemy drops a kane obelisk. Takes it down and you get to keep your unit afterwards to contest pad or tickle their base. Or if you want, double harv for a bit and build nothing but infantry. Get a 400 tib bank, and when they have nothing but anti-infantry units on the field drop 4 hammerheads and convoy to their base. Takes it out in seconds, and there is nothing to do.

If anything, Hammerhead and phantoms are overly oppressive to air units, not requiring a buff. But that is simply my view and experience.

I will say that it does not kill a banshee as fast as I would like for the 100 tib cost.

Granted - it's not really all that different then 2 rifle/milt's taking down a dis/flamer - it's just the 100 tib cost is harder to choke down when/if it goes

[xrmiao4]

In terms of killing banshee/mohawk, it's way weaker than phantom. Especially banshee, 2 missile almost kill it, then it fires 3 plasma bullets back at you while you're reloading.
