Ah; its good to be back on the forums again!
When I sold my PS3 and all 40 or so games, little did I realize how much I would miss Dust!
Luckily, my brother has one as well and was successful in accessing my account. Yay!
Too bad I won't have another PS3, but I am getting a PS4 for sure!
Anyways -- just wanting to talk about VEHICLES.
1) Generally satisfied with the balancing at the moment with vehicle vs. vehicle combat. Rails still work at range (though oddly short range compared to previous builds), missiles still deadly as hell when they were revamped, and blasters... well, blasters have always had some issues, but I can still get some solid kills with one.
2) AV is effective and generally well balanced now. I am not insta-killed by even Proto in my tank, though it will take at least 2 proto forge shots to down my ADS or DS. Sounds about right. Feels about right.
3) Camera still sucks on the Assault Dropship when it comes to front gun usage, but VERY happy on having the opportunity to not have side turrets. I do love having side guns when I have gunners, but when you just can't get a gunner, its nice having a dropship sport more tankiness.
4) Shield tanks are surprisingly easy to fit. At first, I thought it was a bit OP, but over time, as I can operate both armor and shield vehicles at proto level modules and turrets, I get the trade off. Armor Tanks tend to fair better when it comes to surviving 'surprises' though shield tanks do well when they are prepared and aware. Armor can still take on shield, but its very situation-based and satisfying switching between the two.
5) Militia tanks are oddly threatening this go around. Don't get me wrong. I don't think that militia should hit you with the force of a watergun, but its sad losing a tank to one of these things. Though when they are in my sights with no way out... they make good SP pinatas.
6) The fix on small rail turrets is extremely satisfying. Whereas before you'd be only getting maybe 2-3 shots before overheat, now you get around 7 at a faster rate and it is easier to hit infantry with... who almost always get OHKO, unless you hit a well tanked heavy. They can survive the first shot, but with a fast follow up shot, even they get destroyed. Buggy with a small proto rail on the back? Very fun now!
Anyways; love playing the game. I enjoy competing against other experienced vehicle operators. Hopefully I can show them a trick or two in the process, and learn a few new ones myself.
Also, Prince Hassan is a beast lol. Took different builds to finally down the guy.
Peace! |
