Battlecruiser

does a burst of laser count as a single powerful attack (so only deduct armor once) or many weaker attacks? if it's many weaker attacks than high armored unit would be good against it

 

good question...

 

hmmm... then I guess I misvoted, but i didnt think of splash, but something like multiple attacks against some random targets... not AoE... Anyways, it should count as many small attacks, making the game even more interesting.

 

@ Trooper_Lozer , please keep your posts like that to a minimum(under 3 words and/or pointless). Unless you're going to contribute actively to the discussion, don't post at all. Thanks!

Also, I do believe the Battlecruiser's Plasma Torpedo would count as an ABILITY. It's just like Psi Storm in its effect. Instead of being a beam that crosses, units within it receive damage at a specified interval. So every time within that interval (say once every second) the unit will receive a certain amount of damage. That damage IS affected by the unit's armor.

So while a unit remains in its AoE, it is being damaged a number of times, not just once.

 

Plasma torpedo is like having a legion of colossi firing at once then not being there anymore

 

Yes, but I do believe that by burst of laser, BnechbReaker meant a multiple laser firing ability rather than a plasma torpedo.

 

i watched vikings taking damage from BCs in the hi def video, and its many weaker attacks, but it looked like each still did a bunch of damage.

 

It's an AoE though... It will still do more damage rather than an attack that shoots at 10 random targets... well, depending on the size of the units in the area. Of course, if bigger units it makes less damage because the size of the units makes them more armored and they also take up more space, and in the other case.. well, you saw the video.

 

I pretty much agree with unit dimensions.... it seems that all these years... the 3 races have beet eating a lot and so they got a lot fatter....
Plasma torpedos heh.... im sick of lasers and these days....

 

there should be another upgrade where the bc becomes an strong anti-air aircraft. It shoots like 10 missiles at a time or something like that

 

defeats the point of the vikings.

Anyways, the lasers do get annoying after a while.. so my idea is, let's refit the terran armory with cute little pink water guns!

 

i don't like very much the idea of a burst of lasers be the BC's main attack.it should be one single powerfull laser,like in SC1.and it wouldn't be hard to make it looks nice,seeing what they did to the attacks of the protoss units...

 

the coolest effect would be 2-3 large laser batteries that fires slowly alongside 8-10 smaller laser batteries that fires quickly.

 

just a small version of the yamato cannon would do,imo(of course,not on damage,i was talking about the visuals here).those little lasers look silly to me:the Battlecruiser is supposed to be the most badass Terran air unit,but those lasers don't add much to that feeling.they should be changed

 

bc would would overheat and melt if it was burst laser

 

Yeah. That's my concern with the BC too *rolls eyes*, it's heat capacity.

Welcome to the forums though.

 

I am likin the new Battlecruiser, seems like it's normal attack got quite a damage boost. I just hope the individual upgrades dont cost too much.

 

Right now they are 50/50 each.

 

thats nice, have they reduced the price of the single battlecruiser ?

It used to be 400/300/6, its only reasonable if they make it 350/250

 

they do 50 damage now? before,t hey did 25, right?
