You forgot to leave out missile tanks as those actually require some skill and knowledge to use effectively

Aim slightly off target of infantry and you are golden. It's not too difficult to learn.

Except when they are moving in a non linear direction. If they stand still sure.

Not a large lead required. Maybe it's because I've probably played too many fpses for too long but apparently I've been told Forge guns suck at shooting down dropships. Don't tell that to the burning wrecks of dropships I've shot down when they thought they were being clever speeding as fast as the could in a circle.

Lead shot seems to be something players lack. ironically, lead shots are ****** up by aim assist yet people still complain about aim assist. Just shows the general level of gun game that players have.

Then again as the game becomes more balanced the most popular forms of play are spray and pray hmgs and spread shot scout shotties. Pretty tell tale of how bad the Dust population in general is at FPS games.

Forge is easy try plc killing ships and then tell i cant lead shots. I would give it thought then

Tanks are pretty easy to destroy these days and are incredibly easy to shut down. The only good tankers know they are their to support the team in a push for objectives. And in that case it's another situation of team tactics being OP. Hell that's my biggest complaint with balance right now: Shotgun/RE Cloaked Scouts! Why? No teamwork required, no real hard counters, just mass drivers and a lot of luck. Shotgun cloaked scouts are the only thing these days that make me say, "Really?!" to my TV when playing Dust. Everything else has a plethora of counters, even heavies with hmgs, and yes even tanks/dropships. Though these days I rage much more at half the guys on my team going 0/16. Especially when we lose by clone out when the enemy had 30-50 clones left. If they literally just were hiding in the MCC, we would have won.

Take it from me who uses tanks from time to time, when a tank rolls up and mows you down with a blaster. They got pretty lucky on the spread. Sometimes when I'm running from a blaster or am shooting at infantry, not a single shot lands.

Pretty tell tale of how bad the Dust population in general is at FPS games. Forge is easy try plc killing ships and then tell i cant lead shots. I would give it thought then I don't know what to tell you, obviously the PLC is ** for lead shotting a dropship as we both know, due to arcing mechanics. You simply cannot get a high enough arc in a reasonable amount of time for that. I can't get behind your assertion, and I still assert as you haven't refuted that lead shotting with the missiles will hit the target. DO NOT AIM DIRECTLY AT NON-VEHICLES, AIM SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF THEM. Is that more clear? Also I didn't mention this before but don't aim at infantry that you cannot hit the ground under unless you think you are a god of instantaeneous calculus and can predict the travel time of your missile combined with the variable speed of your infantry target in a split second.

Thanks ccp for allowing even the sh players to feel good about themselves. Acvtually checked to see if this was a bumped thread from last year... Aparently just a moron, tanks are easy to kill... Have you tried shooting back at them? tends to help stop them mowing your team down. Having played maluable a lot in the past month I can attest to the fact that I'm pretty sure he's new to the game with having focused SOLELY as everyone stupidly advises at this juncture, into scouts with nova knives. As often as people have made jokes about the increase in efficiency for nova knives, it's a gimmick strategy. likewise, as maluable is a newer player, he can't have a significant amount in AV as it wasn't his primary goal. Understand that newer players do get ** pretty hard in this power climbing game. Edit: Not that people advise at focusing on nova knives but that people advise at focusing in anything with new players, which is stupid. The only thing new players should focus in is core skills, which as boring as that is, that's the only way you have a chance. That or go bankrupt rushing to proto only to be comparable to not even adv slightly less than adv. I should know, I'm almost adv everything in non-vehicles. Vehicles I'm just basic, though I don't see why the hell you would want to go beyond basic without better hulls... My tank/ADS now costs tripple the amount it used to but hey at least now I can survive one more attack with my 700k+ dropship/tank!!!!! Seriously though, I feel for the vehicle users that got ** by the unfinished promise of adv/pro vehicles and full vehicles parity. Vehicles are where this game shamefully shows most of its incompleteness. Respec? Of course not, CCP likes to say go yourself because they think that gives them nerd street cred. Gamestop also thinks hiring semi attractive women increases their sales!!! Even though most gamer guys still don't except gamer girls as a credible source of information. The gaming industry as a whole is pretty ** right now by people that were executives at KFC and **. I feel sometimes like business degrees are the bane of business.
