thanks for the thoughts – certainly khral heal factor can be very strong, and pulling off an upset against sapiens often means setting up opportunities to use that. Sapiens usually have a lot of options to kill rather than wound though (given two helis reliably finish a Garuda, and once they gain a material edge they can start using three helis or marine combos to finish units etc.) I think the x3 heal factor is paid for by the 300 unit cost, vs. 200 for the x2 healers. Increasing defense to 1 would just keep them alive slightly longer and make it more possible for khral to inject them into games in some situations, it's a pretty small effect. I'm a fan of the mobility increase to 8 which was a bigger change, and I don't think we've seen that be a problem .

I don't think a pinzer bump alone will really impact the problem enough (as I said, I think doing all the suggested changes shy of the 'big guns' probably won't be enough, but should make things a little better). With pinzers there's just too much of a mobility mismatch and the Sapien attack is very mobile – helis can often move farther with their *second* move than pinzers can with their first/only.

Normally when faced with a Heli I wear it down with bug bites (heh heh) and have a bunch of infectors at the back which my damaged units can run away to. Unfortunately that doesn't work when faced with more than one heli.

Sanity is for the weak!!!
