Hello All,

Just thought I'd put in a possible balance problem I noticed, and that is Chaos Space marines getting the extremely powerful Vindicator tank on Tier 1, when, say, compare to a regular Space Marine faction, Vindicators don't show up until tier 2. In addition, do to their long range and devastating attack, and the surprising amount of hit points they have, I can't think of any reasonable countermeasure any opposing faction might have.

Of course, I seriously might be missing something. Thoughts?

*Vindicator Gun reload time increased from 2 seconds recharge to 3.5 seconds recharge.
* Since they are available early, Chaos Vindicators health decreased by 500hp.

Taken from 1.87.2 changelog.

Main problem is that Vindicator is the only worthwhile vehicle choice we have. Everything else is pure garbage is comparison, and we have to wait for T3 to get the defiler.

Very much in disagreement.
