• Allied Multigunner Turret (ungarrisoned) damage versus infantry reduced by 50%.

This is the only one I don't approve of. I think multigunner turrets (ug) suck enough vs infantry as is, making them totally useless will only prove to be a micromanagement nuisance.

Yeah that is my limited experience too.

I noticed the allies planes seem to recharge quickly though, I didn't mind though!

i agree with nmenth, they need to bring that back

About time air force where nerfed a little. Why i say this is at the moment it takes 4 defender turrets in Air Destoyer mode to kill ONE Vind just before it gets out of range (turrets in a line 3/4 cell apart, Vind flies across middle). Most aircraft move in so quickly they almost always make there attacks before they die to ground-based AA. The only way to stop them is to create a excessive amount of AA, both air and ground. As for the Conscript buff? a bit OTT but welcome, due to Allied PK have multi target hitting guns, and EotRS have overall powerful troopers, it helps the reds deal with early infantry argo and engineer rushes. As for muiligunner turrets, adding a PK makes them very powerful Vs grouped infantry, and they deal more damage the closer the enermy gets. Lasty I would like to see a optoin to disable Super Weapons AND support powers, as it really pissies me off when a large force is crippled due to 1 unstopable attack. TW and Generals had this problem as a player could turtle, then pound his/her/its oppents with ease just but clicking a few powers and a SW or 2. I.E. Allied combo: dump a lvl2 or 3 cryo shot, then use a time bomb and presision stike the bomb to blow it, and ta-da you just cause a shed load of damage with minamal effort.

True, increasing the basic gunner turret's damage vs infantry would be a better thing to do.

Well it's been more than 4 weeks without an official release. I wonder what happened? RA3 Uprising development????

Patches take time and have to be thoroughly tested and checked before being released. Is the game broken? Does that game not work without patch 1.07? Of course not. It will be done when its done.
