So, since the Flaylock was pummeled with the nerfbat, how about we take it's bludgeoned corpse and rebuild it into something useful?
I was thinking a true AV sidearm. Since clones are made of squishy meat, rather than hard armor, the missiles will cause damage when they hit, but will not detonate.
So,
-Buff, nerf, or don't change the current anti-personnel damage. Doesn't matter in this case. Clones will essentially be getting hist with a sub-sonic, inert slug.
-Remove splash damage from direct hits on clones or terrain.
-Increase projectile range (to approx 100m)
THEN,
-Apply AV damage. I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-700 for basic (about half the dam of an AV grenade).
-Return the old knockback against dropships.
Now you've got something to at least discourage a DS/HAV, while not being OP against either vehicles or infantry.
Thoughts? |

A solid and balance proposal.

I really do think that a small damage buff and a fourth round in the mag would make this a very useful weapon, on par with the scrambler pistol. An AV Flaylock would make a neat variant though.

Keep the knock back as it is. It's still better than even swarms or forges and I don't want to be literally flipped over by one pocket-rocket. |

Then stop harassing people on narrow ledges. :P
Right now it's barely a tickle. The knock back is almost more important than a damage buff. Without sufficient knockback, the ADS's missiles will always kill the clone first. |

No, dual specing is bad and should not be encouraged. No sidearm should ever be a av weapon. EVER

Right just "repurpose" large missile launchers to lockon to infantry with av weapons then, seems fair to me.

Give infantry hardeners and make it so they can cut and run as fast as vehicles and you've got a deal. |

Give back old run over damage models and you have a deal.

Sure, as long as infantry can jump on vehicles without sliding off. |

Excuse me and my dirty mind, but... are you trying to make a pun?
My apologies if I come off as an elitist, but I try to view things objectively, logically, and factually.
