Corp battles boils down to who has the high spot where you can forge down on a letter and camp it. I remember the first battles in pc...it was so fun because it was mostly about gunning. Sure, some abused explosive weapons like contact grenades and flaylocks but that's fine. But once forge gun, OHKing from a roof was discovered, battles have gone to a whole new level of cheesy. There was a slight nerf to forges but there shouldnt be any splash damage on that weapon. It's primary function is anti-vehicle. Splash damage does nothing to tanks and dropships...so it isn't necessary.
Drop uplink spam also ruins pc because it is one of the biggest crutches in a long line of crutches in this game. Not to mention, I do believe that it drops framerates in pc. I only experience framerate issues vs teams that spams them. There should be a huge reduction on the number of drop uplinks that one can have active on a battlefield. I can have a suit that carries 9.....switch and drop another 7.
This is out of hand....there are too many crutches that are taking the skill out of the dust and ruining the fun factor. Tower forge gun sniping objectives and drop uplink spam are the two biggest ones. Please get on this Yes it's annoying. but one of Dust interest is that you should be able to have a lot of different tactics. And as much counters as possible among your corpmates. So the "take higher ground and use forge gun tactic" doesnt represent an issue. As long as you can counter it (sniper ? DS to get the guy out of position) Now, the uplink spam is a lot more annoying. It kills the purpose of the uplinks by making them a spam tactic. It clots (cloats ? ) the UI and also seems to cause performance issues. As for a counter, there aint much except spamming yourself. Also, i think pretty much everyone is ok with stopping this.
Let's see, sniper tactic:
Two logis dropped 4 triage hives, making him invincible to even a Thale's DPS.
And if there are more snipers, he just takes cover and blaps those snipers.
If he dies, he has 934092302 uplinks there.
Dropship tactic:
Forge gun
Dropship
Forge gun
Dropship
Do I need to elaborate further?

Second, I have to agree that if players can find an advantage in terrain or otherwise, then it is a valid tactic. That's what your brain is there to be used for, so stop complaining about another's ingenuity and start thinking of either how you can use the same for your advantage or ways to counter it.
To counter lots of equipment spamage (ie. drop uplinks) I use flux grenades. They get rid of them fast. Additionaly, if you have EVE support, an EM strike from small projectile guns in EVE has the LARGEST blast radius for an orbital and will also eliminate all uplinks just like a flux grenade does. What's more fun is it won't kill anyone as it only gets rid of shields, so if you are defending an objective you can call this one down on yourself and it eliminates all the enemy's nearby spawn points.
As for stuff hanging out on top of towers, again use your orbital strikes.
A single player locking down an entire point and the surrounding area with the only way to take him down is using excessive force like orbitals = valid tactic?
Excuse me but what ISN'T a valid tactic?

Fun fact:
I am self taught, I didn't have a teacher until 7th grade and by that time I didn't even need one.
Whatever mistakes I make comes from me either rushing the post, or being tired. (Which I currently am, and I won't be surprised if I will have mistakes here)
