Been doing pc lately and one thing the hostiles did constantly was put FG/MD on buildings, I'm not complaining bout that it's a good tactic, but there's no way to get the bastards down baring an orbital we need someway to remove them because they're a powerfull piece with very few counters. |

This is only a problem because of how terribly the dropship numbers are setup.
If a DS wasnt a one shot for a forge gun you would be able to get up there and put infantry in place or use the ships weapons to handle this problem. |

yeah the only effective tactic ive found is nnja lifting a squad of snipers to a tower and having them camp
and of course they are pretty easily counterable themselves being that they are usually kinda open |

Best tactic is to try to minimise exposure by moving to other objectives or arranging a different killzone with an uplink away from the line of sight of the building huggers, earn an orbital and blast the mothers to kingdom come  |

Well shoot, sounds like we need "disruptor" ammo that disables repairs, nanos, injectors etcetera for a short period. |

Yeah there is not stopping that.
Orbitals and a good DS pilot(Funny right) are the only counters, and more times than not the DSs get shot down before the can reach their destination.
Underground maps are the solution. |

Point 'em out to the nearest sniper.
We can directly address the problem for you. Chick, chick, boom! +50.
It's especially good for us snipers if they are stupid enough to put a drop uplink up there and keep using it.

Indeed, the lips on top of the buildings on the new maps really cut down on this sort of thing
Although it is a bit frustrating to spawn on a uplink that you werent positive was in the building or on it and being stuck on the roof
Good reminder to keep some cheap ass drop ships on hand to make an escape |

Make objectives less open to redline snipers or building snipers to be able to cover.
Then they don't matter all that much...
And that's coming from me - someone who often runs into the hills even when I didn't get killed and hunts the sniper down (geez snipers, never mind ignoring your peripheral vision, you can't even see the 'you have been scanned' message!) |

Tip for sniping proto heavies with all that repair crap and thick armour: team up with another sniper and time your shots together.

During the last double sp week when everyone was running proto me and a friend would run milita sniper fits, target the same proto suit, call it out, time it right and shoot. I got prof V and all but there is something satisfying bout takeing out a proto with a milita starter sniper suit. |

To all the DS pilots getting shot down you're doing it wrong. Get directly behind the building where they are not shooting down on and then call in your DS. Now just fly up and slightly over. I never fly across the map at people on buildings. And I usually just pull out my sniper and sit across the way from them, it's only a level 1 but if I can't kill them I can at least annoy the **** out of them and make them take cover. |
