Phoenixes are back. Now it's time to cloak the AMS.

The Phoenix.

2 empires will suddenly find their AMS Sunderers have just entered a new level of vulnerability.

The Sunderer, it goes without saying in these large maps, is the King unit on the chessboard. It is ultimately what dictates battles, and so territory.
The Sunderer AMS is Planetside 2.

No unit will suffer as much against the Phoenix as the deployed Sundy and the TR and the VS are going to realise this.

There is no comparison to be drawn with air units eyeballing sundies in the current state of affairs. That air unit is a player right there in that space that can be destroyed and air units cost resources. Heavy Assault NC on the other hand will be able to scout with no risk and no resource cost. Admittedly getting a visual on a sundy will be incidental but the end outcome will be the same. The next rocket is going to the rear of the target.

I feel now is right to establish a cloaking system for deployed Sunderers for all empires.

Typical facist response before and issue is an issue, lets speculate and make changes to make everyone else "safe" without evidense there is an issue or without having to try and think or use new tactics to overcome change. Change everything for me so I don't have to change myself......


That said if it is an issue then there can be reasonable changes made to to the Phoenix and the Sundy that make sense within context of the game, cloaking the sundy is not one of them.
