Its not that they can move side to side, its that it can be done so instantly.

That being said...

THIS IS NOT A SCOUT PROBLEM, THIS IS A PROBLEM OF MECHANICS!!!

Stop making every freaking problem a scout problem!

For crying out loud, you pansies think you would find something else to whine about.

Yes, strafing is a problem, given the acceleration, but why lump it in with inane scout fixes that do NOTHING AT ALL TO SOLVE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM!!!

This is an issue that affects ALL suits, but is most prevalent because of scout speed.

This ridiculous idea that nerfing speed and making scouts slow is a fix that brings balance to the game lacks foresight and awareness of real issues. It demonstrates the laziness that generally plagues the GD portion of the forums regarding balancing issues, as even when a real issue is identified, the people presenting it throw reason and logic out the window and dress up the problem in a way that shows they only care about nerfing play styles they don't like that counter their own and could give two squats about actual game balance and problem solving.

End rant.

Devil's Advocate:

Perhaps a change of the scout's numbers is a much simpler fix than a change to the physics of the game regarding inertia, especially considering how only limited programming man-hours seem to be available. Just sayin'.

Scouts who move left and right are just using cheap tactics to win 1 vs1. Make scouts slow and prevent them from brick tanking PERIOD. Before BS didnt existe but now its happening. If I see a scout doing that Bullshit. Ill take my tank and Demolish him. The BS needs to end. MAG Raven vet 7 times. Favorite weapon F90 and Highest Kills 78 and 23 deaths.

Have you ever played against people as skilled as ReGenUm or Kalante Schiffer (pretty sure I miss spelled both of those)? Watch those guys strafe in logi and assault suits so fast you can't track them. Strafing is a tactic to not get shot and those who do it well will destroy most of people they are fighting against because they can avoid taking fire. Click it! I dare you...

Just sayin'. That may be true, but I think the end result would be a much greater imbalance, giving the lowest HP suits a nerf in speed, than would warrant such a fix. There are other issues that can be addressed in a more reasonable manner that would make the strafing issue less problematic. Not to mention the likelihood of this nerfing scouts so hard that many strafers will just go to assaults and abuse the same mechanic there on faster suits, with the addition of higher HP. In the end, you will fix nothing, and create more problems than you had to begin with. You can always tell a Millford Minja

I've only had (slight) trouble when they're really up close, but I mean if they're that close anyway you're in their home field. But weapons like the MD and BP (heard the flay lock was good now but can't confirm) wreck scouts currently, so idk if there's much to fix Dust was there! I was real!

Minmatar assaults are particularly good at it, as are Caldari assaults. Even the Min heavy can do it relatively well. You think scouts are bad, try downing an advanced or proto caldari assault who knows how to strafe. 500-600 shielding and couldn't care less about your gunfire. Nova Knives are best sidearm.

Strafing is a tactic to not get shot and those who do it well will destroy most of people they are fighting against because they can avoid taking fire. The reason it is effective for some, especially in a scout suit is because of lag. The graphics have faster movement due to syncing issues. for that reason scouts also shoot from cloak. The cloaked scout as ninja is bullsh*t anyway. It is a playstyle that belongs in another type of game. Either have a cloaked player for the sake of movement or have a scout that can move fast and not be hit. It's the same double dipping mechanics as forgers in tanks. Rattati apparently lokes this playstyle and has gone to great lengths to ensure it over. Good ol' combat and proper roles and suits are out the window. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

Chief-Shotty WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 322	Posted - 2014.10.23 13:31:00 - [26] - Quote The only issue here is the lag, an skewered hit detection and strafe acceleration. I've seen what you are talking about but every suit can do that but scouts do it faster because of it speed. I found ironically the best tactic is to not aim. I just aim straight and they usually strafe side to side in a fashion that they incidentally go through your cross-hairs and you can get a few shots off despite them trying to 'shake your aim'. If you try to chase them than you are doing exactly what they want. They will shake it off every-time. You aim left- they move right, you aim right- they move left....don't fall for that trick...its a ruse. You won't hit them if your aiming is constantly chasing them. Let them do the work. 8-Time New Eden Mass Driver Champion Min Commando Combat Rifle and Mass Driver = FUN and Tears OMG the Tears!! :)
