As the Beacon power is right now the beacons drop so close together that it behaves just like a lvl3 A-10 Strike, but there are 2 chances to shoot it down.

I'm thinking I should change the power so that it creates a much larger area thats got maybe 5-7 beacons scattered far appart form each other. this way only one would go off at a time if you were trying to pass though it, or if it was called on a base it would be several A-10s, but each hitting seperate buildings (lots of damge, but little destroyed)

If you suggest replace completely, please make a suggestion for a replacement power.

at lvl5 most USA factions get a Beacon drop. the Beacons are like Demo traps that call A-10s in.

I'm thinking it will be best... cause close together its just like calling in a lvl3 A-10 strike, but a longer delay and 2 chances to choot it down.

but would'nt that make it rather weak? and if that would be the case then would'nt it being a level 5 general promotion means it's lame?

its weaker than an lvl3 A-10 strike now... ...I'm suggesting up the count to 5-7 beacons, but not so close togeather they hit the same target, and also far enough apart they can make a kill zone on the map.

I'm also thinking of something similare to adjust the "pitfall" power of GLA

ok well if there is a killzone and it hits and it able to do a good amount of damage then i don't see a problem with it.

That pitfall for gla i think should be left untouched tho.
It is one of the very few skills that the gla have that can actuly strike in enermy base doing a good size damage.
Terroest sneak attack is not too bad but can easly be couter by some teams with mines and so dose the reble ambush, esply since they only have rifles, and as i say alot of teams have mines now, making them usless. (almost half have mines)

I've replaced this power with cluster bomb already.

I like the power enough to save it, I just think it needs adjusting.

btw What kind of clusterbomb? the Cybr Tomahawks, or something different?

Perhaps after you replaced the beacon drop with cluster bomb, you might give American a combat engineer which can build beacon and lay small minefield.

Already done... I finished coding a SupW Engineer this morning. No mine fields, but he does make up for it with other toys

Container with selfaiming submunitions. It spreads a lot of small parachuted devices around that descend and attack enemies on the fly. They explode when touch ground.

Voting has ended...

More Area, more Beacons has won.

Creator, I like the cluster bomb idea... I'm curious to see it in action.
