... I like data too. (small images) 0 player found Invincible army worthy enough for the Interplanetario. 1 player found ISS worthy enough 3 players decided to use YJ vanilla. out of, 160?
@Maloc is actually playing Invincibles, but for some reason he wasn't counted. Nonetheless Yu-jing is the least represented of the major factions. I can't say I'm surprised, we lost half of our players with the uprising and both invincibles and ISS are poorly equiped to deal with jammers in 5-man team.
Nononono, that's not data, that's only you YJ players whining with no reason, and I will drink your tears; on the other hand, I heard PanO players didn't like Bolts, so let's go buff them.
YJ took 2nd place at the big australian satellite, how is that for data? locally I played ISS and YJ against Exequtor, our OSS playing dude who is, as of 4th round on Saturday, the current frontrunner for the first place, with some success, so i'd say it is the fault of players for not being interested; At the same time I'd say that ISS is just borrrrrrrring and its playstyle hasnt evolved for the past two years (since Lunah release), so I understand the competetive players who wanted to try new powerful stuff instead of spamming kuang shi and rolling sujian around for the 100th time. YJ has pretty underwhelming specops options although the MA4 monofil-EXP meme is funny and Celestial with the shock marksman rifle is useful in a fireteam. and at the end of the day the most valuable data for CB is the amount of models sold so people who bought every IA release even if they never played in ITS would mark positive in their book oh and in regards to the mighty ramajammers, lol - https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/haqq-at-interplanetario-19.34699/#post-284620 ODD deva with feuerbach is a much more pressing issue than some single wound dork running with his single wound friends intuitive-attacking camo markers in the field
The balance issues would strike the forum any time soon.. since its been a while ALEPH, Nomads, CA and Tohaa owning the pulpi heh
I cheer for Pupnik. Top 10 in the first 5 games with Druze Bayram. Funnily enough, the top 10 has Tohaa, Varuna, Druze, Yu Jing, CA, Nomadsx2 and Alephx2 (+1OSS) in this fifth round.
Specops for Vanilla Aleph / OSS Specops are an extra normally not enabled for games. Currently the only Jammers that can join a Fireteam are those of a Specops (PanO, Haqquislam; Haqqs also can take Holoprojector 1). Sixth Sense 2 + Jammer => you won't be able to FtF the Jammer.
As much as I love my Wu Ming MultiLGL, it's really order-intensive unless it's in a full 5-man fireteam (to get you up to Spec Firing on 13s)
I think you're right that this data is quite blurred by Spec Ops. Vanilla in general is in a good spot as we discussed elsewhere. I would have thought that we see more IA, as the sectorial is in the perfect "new and shiny army" spot for the Interplanetario. Sad to see only one player choosing them. I believe you can win with any army in this game, thats why I like to play it. But players think that they have better chances with winning if they play any of the big 4.
The fact invincible don't have a cool as zuyong spec ops and so you're stuck with a zhanshi isn't exactly inspiring for the mission list either. I'm not that excited about yu Jing specs either
We lose with the spec ops change, the cheap tiger isn't viable any more and the multiespecialist is worts that the old version. The CC explosive monofile is meh except if you go full celestisl link in ISS.
