Fobby, I can't seem to PM you because of the flawed forum software thinking your account doesn't exist due to characters in your name, but I want to ask if I can copy this post on another forum (it's a heavy gaming/emulation/PC enthusiast community). I will, of course, link back here to the source.LeeumDee wrote on Sun, 30 August 2009 20:12 | time to get myself another 9400GT and sli up!

| Why waste your time? Just get a better graphics card. GeForce 9400GTs in SLi aren't even as strong as a GeForce 8800GT/9800GT, or even the GeForce 9600GT, both of which can be had very cheap. A GeForce 9600GT beats two GeForce 9500GTs in SLi, so don't think you'll gain much by adding another 9400GT. Just get another card. Even a GeForce 9600GT would be okay.

Agreed. GTS 250 for $100 as well. Even an 8600GT would suffice.

I'd aim a little higher than the 8600GT. While I agree the hate against the card was, in my opinion, a little overdone (it was expensive, but it was still an "okay" card), the 9500GT is basically the 8600GTS (it's not the same card, but performance is almost identical). I'd therefore think the 9400GT was about the same performance as the 8600GT, maybe a little weaker.
There's a big gap between the 8600GTS/9500GT and the 9600GT/8800GT/9800GT and up though. I'd spring for a one of those three at the worst, but a GTS 250 (which is essentially a GeForce 9800GT+), or a Radeon HD4850/4870 are also very cheap (~$130 or less typically) and will be perfectly fine.
By the way, I have done a 8600GTS OC to 8800GT OC upgrade (both MSI, both factory overclocked), and it was a REALLY big upgrade across the entire board. A 9400GT to a 8800GT would be an even bigger upgrade, let alone a 9400GT to a GTS 250 or higher. Remember, all of these cards are ~$130 or less, so they're not exactly expensive.

Can you shed some light on specific gameplay changes and how it plays out in the mod?
For example in Ren, during tank battles, using terrarin and also just jumping out of the tank for quick repairs made the difference between you dying or killing the enemy tank during a 1v1 battle. How does this play out in the mod?
Another thing is the pistol. In Ren the pistol is valuable tool and you really need to know how to use it. So pistol skills matter a lot. Will this reflect too in the mod? I hope.

Agh, I always think the MRLS costs more than the artillery. Still, though, it's genuinely worse than the artillery- despite the fact that in TD, the MRLS was better than it (Just cost a little bit more).
I'd say you should also improve the MRLS's missile velocity a bit, as well as the rate of fire. Granted, I haven't seen how it plays out in Renegade X, but yeah.

I'm curious, as I always found it a delight that WW didn't balance out all units directly against it counterparts.
| Same here. I find it a bad idea to have two sides fighting that are completely the same in every single way (gameplay wise). (for example, Crysis MP)
Of course, maps make the sides varied a tad, but that's not enough, IMO.
Of course, having Ren's units in RenX makes sides differ from one another, so having the basic unit the same isn't that big of a deal, or is it?
