I think Czar should do full beam damage to ASFs again. ASFs beat Czars badly even before their buff against it, now it's ridiculous.
It used to gain insane vet off of a well timed groundfire, but as mentioned in another recent post, changes to the veterancy system have severely impacted the donut's ability to become a more healthy donut. Furthermore ASF are ridiculously strong and can easily take down a Czar/Ripper/Washer within seconds of coming into range anyways, why do they need extra protection?
Having to now click once or twice to avoid losing a couple cheap air units doesn't feel like a drawback to me. It's actually something you want to do anyways to keep a T4 air unit in front of your asf cloud to do maximum damage. There's never been a single game where I couldn't spare the moment to spend one finger tap to save MY ENTIRE AIR FORCE.
It was a cool moment in 1/100 games where someone hilariously lost a ton of fighters. I think bringing back the Czar's ability to zap a few asf would pull a little more fun back into the game and be a small but nice change.
