Truly CA in their unparalleled genius was considerate of Dawi players. Thus, the Thunderbarge is both an army killer and needs 0 micro, so you can use it both in pvp boxes and in pve corner camping to great effect.

well yeah, honestly,as it should be, because, look, its not 1 unit u have to control all the time, its like, theres a whole bunch of dudes up on that thing, shooting, etc, dropping bombs, all u do is the piloting, you tell it where to go. That is nice, that makes sense for me.

The thing got like 4,5k value and cost what, 3k? 4,5k is like 40% of your funds in land battles, is it not? lets see how many other things cost nearly 3k and consistently pay for themselves without constant and careful micro... Changeling? Blue Scribes? Dread Saurian RoR? Greater Demon Lords? Malekith on his dragon? Teclis on Arcane Phoenix? I wager exactly none of these. Not unless aided by copious amounts of healing. This is more op than Mama O was with 0 counterplay unless you walk into a ton of guns deliberately. Flyers cant hurt it cuz they cant catch up to it. Im okay with how it works, but it has to be tuned down. Ive seen the Thunderer guns killing the Khorne Juggernaut RoR in basically seconds.

Man, I'm torn. The Thunderbarge is the coolest thing ever, but holy hell is it busted. I think if they make it a lot slower it would be alright, maybe? Seeing it outrun those Crowmen was silly.

Agreed, slowing it down or giving it the same forward boost that the Marienburg Landship has would be a decent balance without nuking the beaut.

Cooldown and duration + more self damage is what I'd like to see on the afterburner. Having it on indefinitely just doesn't seem right.

[@a0point0of0view1]

I think makes it like inverse heart of winter where it has stages of ever increasing speed and damage. If left on for max duration should do something especially bad like rooting it for a solid chuck of time or making it take a massive chunk of sudden damage

[@danielrullmann5131]

honestly just remove it

[@Icewolfnector]

Imo the best solution would be to remove "fire whilst moving" as long as the afterburner is on. So you are either shooting everything around you, or you are using your improved speed to flee or resposition, not both at once

[@rivox1009]

Alternatively have a random chance every time it is activated to explode, dealing lots of damage to the thunderbarge and disabling it for the rest of the game. Also a cap to the duration

Feels like the Thunderburner should have a pretty hefty cooldown to it, like at least 60-90 seconds. Thats a ton of mobility for such a powerful unit.

[@tomatoesofdoom]

either the thunderburners gotta get changed, the cost has to get changed, or the damage of the small guns needs to be changed

Dwarfs became the bane of non ranged factions. Basically one army with engineers, 2 of this barges, a couple of gyro copters and gyrobombers to intercept flying units and the rest in long range canon artillery and defenders for it and you can kill everything in the north easily (except SKAVEN)

Yeah I don't see how vampire counts are ever fighting this... greenskins will struggle too. What about slaanesh, chaos or god forbid NURGLE vs this monster. I don't think anti-infantry flying units are going to touch it at 13k hp with that much speed and constant dps.

[@M0DIDDLY]

Neither the blimp or the landship should have their speed ability. If they are going to be this massive powerhouse for damage, having an ability that just ignores positioning misplay shouldn't exist, and being able to just "nope" away from any melee units is dumb

It is completely insane that the Thunderbarge, a huge blimp, has 120 armour (a literal steam tank only has 40 more) and a non-committal, reusable speed boost. I'm sure this and the other big new special units will all be fun to play, but they are so low skill and low risk, I'm already bored of watching it after 2-3 games. Playing against them will probably suck even more.

[@TheSakurambou]

It was so fun seeing the Thunderbarge in action. Since you can't target things with it (except for the harpoon, god I loved seeing that) it's biggest counter should be counter artillery since they can focus it down. If it's turn out to be a menace it might be a good idea to increase the cost to reduce your army size if you want to bring such a beauty onto the field. Hard to tell with such a low sample size but I guess time will tell.

[@williampounds5191]

@@Grivehn Really depends on who you're playing any faction with good shooting and artillery will destroy this thing if its controlled by AI in campaign.

[@MrDefender1234]

Honestly some people in the comments want it nerfed way to hard, imo the only thing that needs to be done is a slight cost increase and disabling the Weapons while it's speedbosting. The biggest problem I can tell from the videos I have seen is that it can simply run away and avoid it's counters all the while still firing in all directions and even slowly killing it's pursuers. If it has to stop dealing damage to avoid getting swarmed and then retreat to the dwarven lines for support to get it's pursuers of it's back it'll greatly diminish the destruction it does and forces some of the Dwarven units to actually actively support it which will leave possible openings for enemies to approach and deal with the Dwarven Army. That would also highly increase the skill needed to play it effectively which sounds fun to me as well.

I think that thunder burner thing and the other similar ability on the land ship should have some side effects For example it should give the ship ability to escape melee but the expense of stopping the entire crew from shooting while this ability is active So even if you kept that thing on the whole time you know you can flee but you can't shoot back either And it makes sense too because you are travelling at much faster speed that you normally can and for that your crew need to brace for it and this will prevent them from shooting at the same time

We haven't even got to play with the Thunderbarge yet, and people are already complaining about how op it is. I get it, it sucks facing it in multiplayer and I agree. But I don't want campaign units being nerfed to accommodate multiplayer. The campaign stuff should remain wild and fun. I think limiting the boost ability to a one-time-use per battle would eliminate the kiting problems without taking away from the epicness of the unit.

[@NBeaver-bx4yl]

the boost should have a long cooldown and do more damage. The blimp should be like 3500 gold, nothing less. Don't make it weaker, just make is extremely expensive

[@Grz349]

My contribution would be that three changes are needed, one is that it’s bombs should be manual control, there is no reason why Cathay’s Lantern units should need to be manual but the thunder barge isn’t. The second change is that the Thunder barge should not have a boost to its turning radius, that makes no sense, if the boost is on it should be forced to move forward at high speed. A cool-down is definitely needed on the boost.

Increase the cost, nerf its HP, or increase self-damage on the ability for the Thunderbarge. But Dwarfs have been the EXACT same since the multiplayer days of WH1, I remember that, I was there. The only thing for Dwarfs that had any meaningful change over the years were the Runesmiths where CA never really knew what to do with the Runes and how they should work, I remember the days where you would just bring like 2 or 3 Runesmiths and spam Rune of Wrath and Ruin (which did a fixed DoT back then) and just melt units over the course of a battle. Now the Dwarfs get access to a whole new arsenal in the form of various Slayer units & Slayer lords and artillery powerhouses (as they should be) and people immediately start crying. Even if the Thunderbarge gets nerfed, and it probably should, be it by way of cost or health, if you bring no counters to the Thunderbarge it will and should demolish your army. Two onyx crowmen aren't gonna cut it lmao.

Not always. Nuln ironsides and empire snipers suck. Nuln ironsides have terrible dps because of 60 models and low armor while empire snipers have the worst range, and don’t even have shieldbreak when compared to any other sniper unit.

@@Digitward tbf to the Hochland long rifles they also aren't a weapons team so can be placed on walls

​@@Digitwardlmao so CA makes Nuln Ironsides different from handgunners,but then decides no lets make them just upgraded handgunners with armor...wait no lets make them handgunners with worse dps. Like the armour is gonna matter at all.

Someone already said it, but that speed ability needs a nerf, like compounding damage the longer its used.
