Well I just read the discussion archives and it just sounds like a twitch community reaction to ADS not being God-mode anymore. You've got to admit, those things were a terror on the battlefield.

I honestly refuse to believe an ADS that's committed to clearing a rooftop the entire match can't at least harass it, keeping the enemy AV on their toes.

And the less heavily guarded uplinks on top of structures should be easy to take out.

Trust me, being a Forge Gunner I can guarantee you it's a pain in the ******* ass to keep track of those ADS. As long as they keep moving in and out of our range we WILL get distracted, and we WILL have to need a quick reaction time to target them again once they reappear.

Your infantry should be keeping AV busy. I think that's the key here. Coordinating with your squad should give ADS a nice opening to do whatever the hell it needs to do.

I love how people keep saying they used to be god mode. If i can go 30/2 with my f*cking plasma cannon then, why the f*ck do people get mad when i do the same in an ads. I am seriously tired of these double standards where a scout averages 20-40 kills in a match, a rail rifle can average 15 - 30 easy yet, god forbid the ads gunner gets 20 kills which means that the pilot and gunner got 10 kills each. Even if the gunner gets 40 kills its still 20 kills for the pilot and 20 kills for the gunner.

Seriously i went 23 - 2 with my qaufe heavy in militia gear and no one gave a flying f*ck. This community is filled with hypocrites.

This community is filled with hypocrites. No, it just isn't all about you. What you can do is not relevant, what IS relevant is how each of those fits average overall. There are scouts going 30/0 but plenty of scouts going 1/10. There were ADS going 10/0 but no one was going 1/10. Not hypocrites, right. Because, that's why.

You don't even have a clue what it's like to fly, a player on the ground going 50-0 gets GGs and Join in my duna corp? And dropship pilots who go even 20 kills get told they are abusing the ads and are "farming infantry", what the hell do you think the purpose of a gunship is, to throw flowers at people??? With the redline rails, automatic turrets with 12000 Ehp, 2 shot killing rail tanks, missile tanks, buildings and obstacles, swarms that don't render as well as the people who fire them, forge guns that can 3 shot an incubus, rammers and enemy ads pilots it is NOT farming or anything near as trivial. Every game a pilot flies he has to give 110% because a small error such as not flying away after a swarm volley hits you can lead to certain death. You have no idea how it feels to be flying at max speed hundreds of metres away from a swarmer knowing their final volley will definitely hit you and kill you, and the feeling of hopelessness as a result of not being able to dodge swarms. And yet you easy mode scout scrub have the cheek to accuse ads pilots of "farming"? Go get road killed by a lav mate. Rant over. Sure I know that frustration, it was how I felt when I spentthe whole game trying to run down an ADS to get a good shot on it, completely surprise it only to watch it outrun my swarms laughing the whole way, then come back fully repped 10 seconds later and eat my swarms while he killed me and there was absolutely no eay I could stop him. Because, that's why.
