A 25% increase in damage? wow.

I do like the repair adjustment idea for the air vehicles. The littlebird was a little to untouchable with a crew repairing it constantly. I don't mind that the repairing gives it an advantage, but frequently there was no way to take it down.

SRAW

When it worked.

It was great because everyone was going around telling everyone else how nothing could touch a little bird with a repair crew and so they wouldnt do any real flying or dodging. For the AA equipment that was true enough as there were not enough people using teamwork to take it down. One SRAW hit though destroyed it

Good times gone

That's all I use is the SRAW, so I'll have to give it a try.

You should, its fun! Well, not for the heli and sometimes the circling gets annoying, but still
