...would a DEV mind posting what/where they are? Would really be nice to be kept in the loop on the forums. |

WAITAMINUTE! How are you expected to aim Swarm Launchers (which auto lock) or AV grenades (which home)? I can see an argument for AV, but how can Swarms, the average Joe of AV, actually HIT a weakspot? |

DS vs land LAV/tank Get a dropship and fly over a tank/LAV blindspot close to directly above it. Tank vs DS Shoot your railgun between 1-2 times to take it out, the person on the top turret can also deal damage and knock it back. LAV vs DS Get tons of LAVs and constantly shoot at a DS. The knock-back force of each missile/rail will make flying harder and make the DS more vulnerable to crashing --Edit-- Also get a squad with swarm launchers/forgeguns and AV grenades and have fun. Even if you don't kill it, you should be able to get enough points to call in a precision strike(orbital strike) on the tank(s).
You completely misunderstood me. The weak point isn't the blindspot, it is the area where a damage multiplier is added, like on a headshot. The DEVs said they added them, so I simply ask where they are. |

Correct!
Also, as Ignatious stated (thanks for that, thought the percentage was just the falloff, didn't think it added multipliers), and i stated at the top, AV weapons can't really take advantage of the weakspots due to their fire-and-forget nature or the inability to sight the shot, as the case may be. Not only do we need to know WHERE to shoot, but the HOW seems to be a big issue as well.

however, i DO know of a certain suit that can use a certain weapon that you can AIM at the weak spot if your are specced for AV.....hrm.....
I stated that Forge Guns were the only AV that could take advantage of this above, Mr. Lurch.
And 50 people can't even be in one match :P |
