Tank meta = big positive to hw2

Essentially both more epic games and games being decided by player skill. The only downside (?) with t3 tank buff is that I can see is that more games will run to 20 mins. Players will have to navigate a successful tier 2 Midgame to get eco/ map advantage for tier 3 late game success.

winning tank v tank will require more micro (Y ability buff) and smart use of leader powers. Isabelle is once again a viable alternative to forge for pure tanks. Production of Uber units including decimus/ retriever will become more frequent as players look to make best possible advantage.

Game becomes more interesting with arby/ forgehog/ warlord / ice cream truck / Jerome/ Spartans important heroes who will influence outcomes of tank fights. And honour guard for sneaking shipmaster armies to bases.

Gimme some of your weed please.
I want to get as high as you are.

It will be the same as it is now lol. We’ll have the same op leaders, the same vehicle spam and the same boring strategies. Games will just take longer.

Don’t get me wrong, I am as excited as you that tanks will be viable again, but unfortunately, this patch won’t improve the game.

I am also glad tanks will be viable but they might be to good because of the aa buff but we will have to wait and see

You can’t be serious right? This is an RTS, games are meant to reach that amount of time. This isn’t a slayer match that lasts 6 minutes

This only gets worst forge one of the strongest or arguably the strongest leader in the game will run rampant in the next patch as grizzlies are getting buffed and with aa getting buffed grizzlies Won’t have to deal with air as much and since about will still die to grizzlies fast (admit it grizzlies are strong af ) countering forge might be the hardest thing to do in the next balancing patch as you can’t use your leader powers all the time and grizzlies takes it like they are nothing all of that gives me a bad feeling pls someone prove me wrong

I really don’t like where this is going

Reminds me of Halo Wars 1 where Canny Tanks would hard counter everything. Grizzlies are gonna be damn near OP now…

No. just no. Scorpions were some of the worst units in game and Grizzlies were flat bad. If you had armies of core infantry or Hogs, they were a force to beware. Besides that, Hogs were the way through and through for much of the games. HW1 hard countered nearly anything. Hawks were the best special unit in game but they were rare to see as a good Ander usually won the game before that point, making them useless in the process.

Forge will reach powers levels similar to the dreaded Serina Patch.
Forge will dominate.
Isabel will be Top Tier.
Arby amd Anders will still be viable along with Forge and Isabel.
The rest will have little success.

That’s the one thing I was afraid of hearing

More like tank meta = big negative to hw2 and I hope you don’t mind seeing forge everywhere

IDK more like 300% Forgehog but Forge powers. I’m almost hoping the 20% AV buff will work. Honestly, I think cyclopes will still be too weak but only an omipotent being will only know if it is or is not enough so i’m open for suprises.

Last time that I heard the words “Tank Meta” was in Overwatch. It was horrible.
What do we learn? A Tank Meta is awful.

Triple Tank was really enjoyable for me, Being the tank main though.
But your comparing a RTS that’s completely different go a FPS that’s has 26 playable characters and many maps with unique objectives.

I know, seeing Tank Meta again brought me Flashbacks.

I can see Jerome being a major issue for being able to drop in Omega team on your army, stunning them, then turn 3 of your tanks against you. And with the AA buff… It’s going to be hard to counter tanks with air, and we’ve seen from tests that Canny tanks wreck AV. Sure they’re slow, but Jerome and Kinsano will both have fast tanks. Serina can slow your army down with cryo so her tanks can catch up and obliterate you. Also Anders is good for quick tech tanks just like she is with level 2 upgraded warthogs. So I see there being more options for UNSC, but it will be everyone doing the same thing, only supplementing them with different powers. I Think Johnson will fall off even more with no Colossus buff, and Cutter will remain the worst with infantry getting wrecked by vehicles still. Banished idk. Wraiths have always been a waste of resources, and I don’t think a Y ability buff will save them, and mass banshees won’t work really outside of Deci or Arby. We’ll have to wait and see, but I can’t see things turning out well for Banished or bottom tier UNSC :frowning:

Scorpions are better in almost every way, they are slower but Redline will compensate . However, I wonder how viable Decimus will stand with passives on wraiths. Cyclopes are not the best nor getting many buffs vs T3 so I can Imagin his Wraiths will beat Scorpions or at the very least hit and run better than anyone else late game. I guess we will seewhen it is out.

Halo Wars 3: Slayer. Now instead of 16 vs 16 you can have 120 people facing each other including Voridus and Serina! Who needs armies when you have the BR 1 shotting Marine squads?!
