Illuminates unfun to fight

[Wybjorn]

Is it just me or are the illuminate by far the least fun to fight faction? Its just mowing down endless hordes of zombies and having to snipe down these annoying fckin flyers, paired with bulletsponges of their heavier units

The illuminates still have only a part of their forces on the ground

when will the rest join? No idea

but at some point there will be more variety - and I could imagine a slight rebalance on the existing enemies

If the faction is still incomplete i dont understand why they would base major orders around it

No, it's not just you.

Also i find their "elite" clad in armor hillariosly tough, which really ruins feedback from shooting at them. They not hard to fight, but seeing it eating two shots from anti-tank gun, which can headshot some far more heavier units, breaks all immersion. But i think they will be tuned down later, as they served a some sort of placeholders for missing units in far more heavier weight cathegory.

I find the shields and the jet pack guys super annoying.

Also most of thier units lack weak points.

The city maps are utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I wish we would get some special strategems and weapons to deal with them.

The best thing would be if the units actually had destroyable points on them that would stop the shield from working.

Well I doubt the devs are clever enough to do something like that.

On the harvesters if you destroy their fins, one of them reduces beam accuracy and the other one makes it harder for their shield to regen

So it does exist, the problem is why would you waste your time shooting the fins when you can just kill it by blowing out its leg joint

They weren't fun in HD1. While the units are different in HD2, still not that much fun. I'm sure the rest of the units when they enter will make them even more annoying.

Machine gun, guard dog, Machine gun sentry, Machine gun turret, eagle air strike, orbital gatling gun, eagle air strike, cluster bombs, all you got right now are infantry units showing up...vanguard units. more are to come, but if you go in anti-personal it's easy. and those shield guys.......you know you can shoot them in the foot and they drop the shield out of the way right? 1 to toe...6 to head.
