I reinstalled FA to 3599

Then I logged onto GPGnet.

Then I played a ranked game.

Then I crushed an over-matched player in about 11:00 minutes despite playing like crap.

So what I'm trying to say is...

I guess I'm back!

It is true that they don't have anything with a shield that can be used in or over water, but they have all the usual advantages, including a T2 sub with personal stealth!.

There are three reasons. First of all, they have great local firepower. That huge spam army you think is so cool is spread out so far, that the front units are dying while the rears are out of range. Second, they tend to gain veteracy really fast, as they often encounter big spam armies, which they kill quickly with their powerful weapons. And third, you don't loose dps as they take damage.

AA turrets are not worth the cost (unless you simply have to protect a stationary water unit). No one is going to bother hitting a zillion little moving targets, when they could do in a T2 or T3 power generator.
