Khaas bite/claw attacks need to do more damage!

<div class="IPBDescription">Khaas bite attacks need to do more damag</div>Khaas bite attacks are completley useless on heavily armored frontiersmen, and often on just regularly unarmed frontiersmen.

Several times today I was able to sneak up on a heavily armored frontiersmen, and used the bite or claw attack.

What happened? I got in THREE OR FOUR attacks before they realized what was going on, they then turned around and promptly smacked me dead. <!--emo&::siege::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/siege.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::siege::'><!--endemo-->

Just my opinion, but I think claw and bite is underpowered, if I sneak up on a frontiersmen, he should be dead.

    Regular marines, usually, but not always(SHOULD be always), heavy armored marines? Nope.  250 armor(I believe heavy is 250 right? I could be off a bit, might be a bit higher), + 100 health = 350+ damage you gotta go throug...

    Skulks do 75 biting.

    Fades do 80 claws.

    They each need at least 5 hits to take the heavy armored marine out, and if your a heavy armored marine, do YOU stand still long enough to be hit 5 or 6 times??

    You mean you want to be able  to instantly kill the most expensive, best equipped unit the marine has with the most basic alien unit that costs nothing <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> . Now come on, this would just make it impossible for the marines. If you want to kill HA, become a fade. It's as easy as blink, strafe, chop... As for normal marines, you should be able to scythe through those guys as a skulk. Just make sure you never attack head on, and watch where they're moving. They'll die v.v. fast.

    Normal marines are ok. They die in a few skulk bites, but heavy armor marines are completely impossible to kill with a skulk. End of story.

    Heavy armored marines are <i>designed</i> to be difficult to kill with a skulk.  I mean, you don't run at a tank with your knife and expect to come out alive in any other game, do you?

    I killed 2 heavies with a skulk yesterday <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->... all without being touched... gg cloak and hit and run.. You cant just sit and chomp... you need to be unpredictable.. come in at odd angles... USE THE WALLCLIMB... Why only use one plane of movement.

    Oh on the fade vs Ha... it he has a hmg .. even if you get off the first shot... odds are he will win.. tested this twice when they had full armor and a hmg.
