It's the pilots.
Oh you sored into my heart with that line.
I tell you, it is in the pilot. I've done many PC's, I've killed every dropship pilot I've ever come against except one; Derrith.
Simply he is used to the air because he has become proficient in his dropship. Simple as that. Did i cry op when he killed me? Nope. I know how ads v ads goes. It's not a pretty thing. I get rammed, i don't cry. That's my fault, i wasn't paying attention. I get shot down flirting with AV. My fault for being greedy. I get downed air to air. I don't cry, i was simply out maneuvered. It's not the machine you fear, it's the pilot you fear. Lesson here: It's not the gun that kills, it's the person pulling the trigger.
Tell me, how many of you shoot swarms at a dropship flying FULL THROTTLE over you. I do that on purpose, just to see how bad swarmers have gotten. There are legit swarmers who got proficient in handling their swarms; Waiting for you to get in an ugly place and finishing a job like that. What's happening is people have no patience anymore. They want a simple fire n forget and see damage points on their screens. Swarms will hit, they are impossible to dodge. No flipping and looking fancy will save you. Hugging the buildings will not save you anymore. Minimum 2 salvos will score at least 6 hits now. No matter how fast my negative velocity (using the launcher as the point ) they will hit. It's losing it's skill and I'm feeling sorry for the true swarmers out there. As for a forge gun; if i see a wyr breach in the kill feed it's usually the sign to recall your inky... Knowing ive been OHK'd by them when im down to armor. I rep tank just for swarmers but can't armor tank for a forge gun. Is 300 rep too much on an inky? Hell no. To fit it you can be 2 shotted by almost everything. But as more people leave the fg and go to swarms, i might as well. Lesson here: patience is a virtue, you shouldn't have a sure fire way to get damage points and a kill. Why i respect true forge gunners.
1.7 i had the most expensive AV suit, Yknow what it was? A gunner and i, two particle accelerators or a basic with particle cann. If it was a python I used my gunner fully and i simply supported. That was my suit and I've been using it till delta, where the rof nerf + the skill nerf + the skill stacking penalty for the "heating" weaponry (a gunner will only fire 5 shots to overheat if stacked compared to 7 unstacked) has rendered me a free 75 wp floating around, and tanks roaming free. Lesson here: a dropship doesn't usher death on infantry. Sometimes give pilots a break... We aren't always on yur booty. Sometimes we are just flying around.
As for the people who just switch to av as soon as you see a dropship and get determined to kill me; not my fault you lost the game. You simply used your resources on someone doing nothing. Lesson here: what doesn't jeopardize the mission, doesn't need to be killed, you'll just waste time and make it hard for your team. I've played in pc and two forgers can keep a dropship from being a benefit and turning it into a liability. Clearly i was hunting their vehicles so now they have reason to protect them.
As for the rof nerf, and people saying it should be 1 v 1 for tell me how many of your swarms render on my screen, tell me how large your hit box is compared to mine, and tell me if i can shoot through buildings or see you far ahead when you see me? Tell me where i can take cover without bumping into something and instantly catching fire? I am a vehicle, you are a person. It isn't going to be too easy for 1 v1. 2 v 1 is certainly a fair fight. Yes it did need a nerf since stacking turns people into pocket orbitals but what happens now (overheat earlier) plus a slight reduction to the skill (8-6% per level) and reworking damage profiles would have been the better plan. Lesson here: everything should come in steps. I'm pretty sure you don't get calculus in your grade 1/ first year / primary classes. If the profiles don't work, lower the rof. If the rof didn't work, go to early heating. We don't take down skyscrapers from the bottom up, you'll have collateral damage.
Why hasn't anyone complained about tanks...? I never saw duna in an ads :/ and i drove a tank for the first time and just butchered people. Still don't like it. I prefer the air.
I support the nerfs but if i could achieve the same rof with max skills as no skills, i guess i just put dropsuit command to level 5. Aka, an useless skill. I'm not hating on av'ers (as i also am an av'er). I'm just saying we all need to discuss and see the numbers as a community. Not some shady political **** mr cpms. I remember when swarms had 50% effectiveness on ships. That was total bull ****. Surefire hits? Total bull ****. Have the turning circle far larger so we can out maneuver them or give us some flares as a high module.
Well, my phone is dying now... I'll be back later. |
