I don't know what to think about the assault variant...it sounds more like a Mass Driver that is less efficient as a Mass Driver (or to powerful than the MD). An assault PLC to hit LAVs? I'm sorry...if you can't hit a LAV with a normal PLC then you are also going to miss those assault shots or atleast most of them and you end up with low damage.
From the times that I still play this game I'm mostly using a PLC in ambushes. For anti-infantry some maps/positions are better than others (skirmish and domination make this more favorable to go anti-infantry). What concerns me the worst:
- shots passing through enemies, this is devasting as you need to get that hit off to survive in many situations.
- shots doing no damage, sometimes a sentinel loses their whole shields while a scout suit survives the same shot, the same when a '+5 equipment destroyed' pops up while the enemy right next to it...takes (almost) no damage at all. maybe I need to get my eyes checked?
- Walls/Supply depots absorbing PLC damage, nothing is more easy than to kill a red trying to hack that installation right?
As for Anti-vehicle:
- no problems with sica's and soma's (you can even solo hem coupled with AV-nades)
-I'm usually the only one using AV....WTF? Sometimes I need just one more guy with a swarm or AV nade to finish a HAV off, (the regen and speed of HAVs and the distance they can Harm you from is also ridicilous compared to how AV-weapons work, also the way how a HAV can kill you while you are actually behind a stupid cover fence and not able to shoot back is stupid)
- I don't need to get the reload animation of my PLC to override my grenade-throw action! Many vehicles have gotten away due to this. (Wait this is not entirly PLC, but it fucks up the AV-game).
- spawns in ambush still suck and are too predictable for AV users to suprise a Vehicle.
- shots at Dropships are difficult, a hit should be rewarded by bringing the DS more out of balance as it does now...it's stupid how a ADS can still accuratly take shots at you while he gets hit...and if he gets severly hit....it's gone in the sky and has regened and back to finish you off before you even reloaded.
Actually I kinda like the PLC for AV, especially if there is a second guy doing AV work wih you. The added dmg against vehicles will make it more efficient which wouldn't be that bad. breach version sounds nice for the experienced guys, but with the above points, HAVS will still be the best AV, expect that they are not as fun :D. |
