I havent hit any walls, but you quickly learn that each different weapon/vehicle has a certain play style associated with it for maximum effectiveness.

A lot of the QQ in the forums about weapons is due to incompetent players not able to just "figure it out."

Good point. Even the lock on for the swarm was balanced because it only had 6 shots even though snipers can ohk from the first level

The hmg was balanced because of it's sub assault rifle range

honestly i think CCP is gonna tweak the hmg again. No one is using them anymore due to their lack off applicability in the current map. As long as the appropriate use is there, a hmg should wipe out an AR every time, simply because of the nature of the gun.

We'll see how it turns out next build with new maps. If it still proves to be "over-nerfed" ill make a request for a buff.

Cant buff or nerf something that isnt finished yet.

Tbh, just skill whatever is OP in each build. 10k sp for RE? Sold. A million and half for a marauder in SP? Sold. It's not adapt or die. It's "if you can't beat em join them" which sucks, but is why we beta tes

Pray do tell your counter to RE :) for 10k SP :)
Like I say "IF" you can't beat them... Only if you can't. Try everything, but part of the best way to see something is OP is when everyone's using it.
I've tried pretty much everything except scout suit.

Sissy :p

The only ones crying about snipers are the ones who spray and pray and need to use a dropship as an anchor to try and kill a sniper.

There are genuine problems with the game, and a smug "well here's what I did and I beat someone using X" isn't any more constructive than threads replete with hyperbole about how X is so overpowered and easy-mode and etc etc.

I haven't leveled up any sniper attributes, the dropships are free, and I know it pissed a sniper off when a ship lands on his head when he thinks he is so safe on his tower

Next build squishing snipers won't be much of an option cause they will cost money, but snipers won't be up on those light towers either. Highest they can get on foot is top of the pipes, so shouldn't be to hard to counter snipe, forge gun or mass drive a sniper on pipes.

Why wont we be on the towers? Ill bum a ride with a pilot then drop an uplink.

Not once draw distance is fixed. End of.

You always need to adapt or you die. For any tactic there is a counter, if there isn't then it is because the team you are stuck on doesn't have the skills and experience to pull it off. Sniper problems, counter is most often counter sniper of course you have to have someone who gets sniped and pissed that has the skills to switch to a sniper fit before he spawns back in. Sometimes I snipe them back if possible a lot of times, I just use the scouts speed to get behind them and kill them with a smg. Tanks require av fits with proto forge guns, good dropships require proto swarms or forges. Counter for heavies is quick moving assaults with proto ars.

Maybe, as i said, the proper conditions have to be met.

artillery on top of towers while parked away from any edges?
