I was very happy that I don't run hardener fits lol.
Now you have to predict where invisible AV will be before they fire, just another supernatural requirement to being an Ace in DUST

Never said I was an ace, little one. Here's your juice, go on and play now.
It saddens me to know though that I'm still one of the better pilots in this game

No Hardener = No Staying Alive to get the hell out of there.
You didn't care about the ADS and you have got what you wanted. Hope your happy. I'd like a respec for the skills invested into this. Otherwise fix it now. Not your damn SoonGäó-«-¬ Its called adjusting, hit it two seconds earlier then you normally do. Idk about you but against AV I have my activation and deactivating timing down perfect so I just knew to do it 2 seconds sooner then I normally do. It's not broken you're just not use to it. Now do I hit it 2 seconds before or after the third volley hits ? Cause swarms are still too fast All depends, you run the hardener, booster, and heavy extender fit? No. Hardener and 2 Complex light armor rep is the way to gold
Yea, shields have it a little easier just in that they have more leeway against the first few hits from AV, mitigating the downside of having to wait those extra couple of seconds. As armor, you're gonna want to hit the hardener if you think you're gonna be hovering for a bit, otherwise you're just going to have to be extra attentive.
What I'm most curious about is if this change will make it so that the second shot from a rail tank hits before your hardener activates. I suspect it will be, but I haven't run into that yet mostly because my go to fit is purely passive, minus the AB.

I went 13-0 second game after a month hiatus. Haven't lost a single dropship aside from situations I knew I really shouldn't be in.
Not to say things couldn't be better, but ADSs are far from unusable.
Pythons are literally the entire reason I fly AV incubus 95% of the time.
No farming when im around

No hardener on a python? You wouldn't even last against an incubus rail wouldn't even have to let my rail cool down a little before firing again. But I do admire people that can still pull off non-hardened ADS's but that won't fly around with me in the air lol
Honestly though, rails are still laughably OP vs shields :/ no shield fit exists that will you save from my Particle Cannon. Not being able to rep while under fire is the real kicker in small rail vs shields, since just the act of juggling your overheat ensures theyll never rep so long as your aim is on point.
Honestly, as much as I want my PRO ADS, I am NOT looking forward to PRO Incubus dogfights. They're already a bit of a nightmare, so unless we get additional efficiency vs vehicles, or enough fitting to have AB, damage mod, and some tank...its gonna get kinda silly.
