yes, the elephant needs a tech 4 upgrade, but NOT A RETARDED ONE!!! seriously! all you have to do is boom to elephants, then send a hog to their base and nuke it twice, then hit it with your MAC. Cutters late game would be unstoppable, and depending on the speed, he could have this in about 15 minutes (realistically, as in, expand, get economy, then tech elephants).
HOWEVER, i am all for a 4th elephant upgrade, that way cutter could get a 14 star vehicle. mabey give it armor piercing rounds on its defence turret, that way it coud take on a few tanks (not saying it could kill 13 grizzlies, but mabey like 2) right now, the only use for an elephant is to camp it out of sight of an enemy base and spam ODSTs, or use it to save a base slot. elephants are also a good counter to and arbiter rush, but it cant stop a chieftan or a PoR.
another possible upgrade would be increased unit production speed, so that it can churn out units, say, 1.5x faster than a barracks, and reinforcements would stack on that making it a stream producer.
anyone else have any ideas?
