Eagle eye too OP

[[BRE] Vauquelin]

If you are playing 2v2 or more, and are getting targeted by 6 turrets with Eagle Eye enabled, you are almost instantly dead. I had 3 layers of steel, and 1 layer of laser shield yet they broke the entire defence with 2 eagle eye volleys with upgraded turrets. Once you get hit by them you are instantly eliminated from the match, or are extremely far behind with repairs. I'd like to see the commander being nerfed, as right now he seems extremely OP.

Build a sniper, start snipin'
That's what my friend does when I mess around with this strategy, and it demolishes me. He hears me build a few buildings, and he starts to look around my base (using the machine gun as a sound-finder), then snipes everything

That is viable in a 1v1, not in a 2v1/3v1 when the enemy focuses your base, I know a 2v1 or 3v1 isn't supposed to end well for you, but with the base that I made I could absorb 3 cannon shots and unlimited lasers (I had the whole front walled off with laser shields). But once they start using Eagle Eye+machine guns you can't do anything. They blow up the shields and shred right through multiple layers of steel.

One cannon can usually break at least 2 steel, so if they did them in an order, not immediately (like, bam, wait half a second, bam, etc), would most likely work, or if they used a cannon, then spammed lasers, as your laser shields would be down.

They didn't use cannons, I was just saying the fort could absorb 3 cannon shots at the same time, 1 breaks the shield, the other 2 break 3 layers of steel. Machine guns with Eagle Eye however, destroy the shield with a few hits, then shred through 3 layers of steel with just the 2nd volley (6 turrets were fired at the same time)

ican agree on that. once i make a hexacomb with two layer of shield. a few layer of steel, aaand i got basted into piece in SECOND

Combined Eagle Eye minigun fire is pretty much unstoppable. Only counter is if everyone shields to stop Eagle Eye actually building up.

We run it as a 4 strat and it's been unbeatable so far.

Minigun / Eagle Eye combo is OP, needs balacing... If players were informed of enemy commander it wouldnt be that bad. I realized pros rather go without Commanders, as they are pretty borked atm... its too much of a gamble in its current state, gambling is bad for tactical gameplay

Eagle eye was already nerfed in the power update and its balanced

Judging from the comments above of other people, I doubt it's balanced. I've tried so many different things to counter Eagle Eye, none of them have worked. Just because it has been nerfed in an update doesn't mean it's balanced now.
