Surprisingly, you make a good point. Transport heli sucks. Should either have better speed, or better armor. I say it should have slightly better armor, but its major advantage should be speed.

6 pages already about the points fix which is a real bug.
I'm sure armor and health changes would make pretty much the same arguments, only you can't really say it's a bug this time.

I find them pretty useful sometimes. But they're way overpriced. Adding more armor or lowering the price would make it more useful; however, I don't think this patch's aim is to change balance.

Why not though? It is (if it goes through) going to be the official Renegade patch 1.038, so it needn't be limited to bugs. They're priority, but if it makes Renegade better and is worth it, I say go for it. That's our goal with this, right? Make Renegade better? This could be the ONLY patch chance we get, so we should make sure it's ready before presented.
On this issue, I do agree that there'd likely be alot of arguing about what does/doesn't need changed. For example, I think the Mammoth Tank is overpriced for what it usually nets you, but most would probably deny it (although it SEEMS most would agree since most bash it/don't use it). True, you have to know how to use it, and most don't, but I still think it's not worth 1500. Maybe 1200 or so. I'm not saying it needs a a buff or to be made overpowered, but perhaps a slight increase to speed at least, because that's the biggest problem with that vehicle IMO. The Mammoth Tank was slow, but not like that. It self repairs too slow too.
Anyway, I was posting more so to point out that the patch should be for more than bugs, rather than to bring up the specific case of the Mammoth Tank. I do agree about the Transport Helicopter, along with what I said and probably a few others too.

Our patch will probably ship with it's own patcher, so when we get TT pushed by EA, we can update it whenever it's needed.
That is, if everything goes according to plan.
So for that reason, I think we shouldn't (yet) make any balance changes. It would cause major disagreements here, and gameplay will already be altered to some extend by the pointfix.

Ah, if that's the case, than I understand your priority almost solely on bugs right now. I like your way for doing the patch better, but I didn't think EA would basically pass on support for the game in giving TT control, since it seemed like it'd be hard enough to let them let anything be done for it period.
P.S. Mammoth Tanks aren't not worth it only because of the points they used to give off. They simply don't get you 1500 credits worth compared to most other things do.

I've put forth the idea of changing the transport heli's armour from light to heavy, which would give it the same durability as a stealth tank. I don't think we should include any actual balance changes though, at least not yet.

Renegade doesn't need balance changes, each side has its advantages, nod has speed and stealth, gdi has heavy tanks.
The fact that maps are not always balanced is what makes renegade so unique.
So many other games like bf for example have the same stuff on both teams, which is why I personally got bored of it so fast, yet renegade has retained my interest due to the fact that it isn't balanced.
Strategies for GDI and NOD are so different which is what I love.
In regards to transport heli, it has some advantages over apc... on city_flying for example abilty to go over the bridge is helpful, changing its armour wouldn't really change gameplay much as anyone who is decent and gets a transport heli is probably intending to rush.
The fact it is slower than orca / apache makes sense due to it being larger and often carrying more people.

You're kidding, right? Renegade is one of the most balanced games I can think of. Sure, some things are useless and need fixed individually, but across the scale, it's pretty balanced.

Balancing does not only BALANCE the factions, but also the Units, making sure that every unit has its uses.
THE TRANSPORT CHOPPER DOES NOT HAVE A USE.

Well renegade has kept a strong public and even clanwars population over the years so i don't think their are any problems in the balance. If your going to change any gameplay features it should be completely equal, like spoonys suggestion of changing the tranny from light to heavy.
