Big plane

[rigid sentinel]

more heavy armor synergy

[rigid dew]

No cap?

[rigid sentinel]

heavy armor caps at 3 so no worries

"the maximum Heavy Armor that any unit can have is Heavy Armor 3"

[still quiver]

*at the start of your turn your other unit get heavy armor

[misty delta]

still at heavy armour 3 thats pretty good but maybe balenced

[rigid sentinel]

your other units?? thats really powerful right?

[nocturne pewter]

tbh adding heavy armor to all units is 1k, and this is 6k for it to happen at ur next turn, so i'd actually think that's bad

it's a thing to play at advantage to increase it, slowly, but without enouf synergy i doubt this will see much play (that is if it's only added to the main game rn)

[misty delta]

yes 1 heavy armor is fine but it becomes exponentially more powerful the higher you go. There is reason why there is no unit that has heavy armor 3 by default, it can possibly make a mediocre guard almost invincible from everything but orders and burn (which is sadly almost balanced).

[nocturne pewter]

thing is, this is a bomber, and first u probab play when ur opponent cant it and second wut deck will this fit without synergy, since i doubt u would play a 6k bomber for aggro or midrange, but for control u dont have that many units on boards to get a rly gud advantage, and by the time u can play this 6k bomber u r probably playin against control too, which meant they will likely have orders or deployments to remove it.

ignore meta for a sec - do you think that this card fits the plane historically? does it look okay?

[rigid sentinel]

as for value: I took the sunderland body(which is 2/6, and made it 3/5 - which i think is more useful) then I gave the body heavy armor - which means +1 operation cost. Then I replaced the draw a card text for the gain heavy armor text. Draw a card is more useful than heavy armor - so because this new bomber is weaker in value on this regard - you can have more of them in deck. More in deck means higher chance of synergy with potential heavy armor soviet deck(imagine other fanmade cards makes it viable). All in all - this bomber is balanced in terms of value. You could argue that the sunderland never sees play - to that I say well this soviet bomber sucked irl so it being mediocre is fine

[misty delta]

its supposed to take its fighter escort with it right? Could it spawn 1 or 2 I-16 ISHAK when deployed?

or be like the train and spawn them continuosly so it helps in soviet air?

[rigid sentinel]

that would be for the elite experimental version

[rigid sentinel]

though = yeah i used the experimental version for my picture....cuz it looked too good

[misty delta]

its just you art shows the planes being deployed??

[rigid sentinel]

i figured its fine since:
