So you like being killed over and over by some SP/WP farmer back at the SPAWN?

Let's ignore the flame war that is starting up here. I agree that this is an issue. What's the point of training up any skills if there are going to be constant Precision strikes and OBs. |

Agreed.
I only mentioned tanks as they are an example of expensive gear being lost to PS/OB spam.
And true whats the point of training any skill if all our equipment is going kitten from the spam.

If you drive a tank by yourself, there is a big possibility to get kill in a few seconds; but if you use the appropriate modules in your fittings and other two friends help you as well, you will enjoy it!  |

No offense, but I think you kind of missed the OPs point, not that it was very well expressed >_< |

No!.....just no.
With OB/PS being spammed every thirty or twenty seconds then its sure death to deploy a HAV or spawn in any area due to this problem.
Spawn as a heavy? death from OB/PS spam.
Spawn as a scout? dead.
Assault? dead.
LAV to run fast? dead from PS spam.
HAV? DEAD from PS spam.
Dropship? dead from PS spam.
Solution??? spawn inside MCC and stay there.
NOT! any fun at all.
Please fix.

I'm curious what gunners would do to save you from PS's.
Also, what modules (speed boost?) can give you a fighting chance to make it out from the middle of a PS strike? Are there any that give you advanced warning of a strike? |

Whilst I agree with you statement, I also believe you are missing the OP's point that the Orbital Strike is overly easy to get and maintain which leads to the strikes being called in far to frequently.
Most people like and enjoy the Orbital Strike but it needs to be rarer...much...much more rarer. |

you'd have to have some serious shield resistances in order to survive a orbital strike in a tank. other then that, whenever people used one on me, i usually saw it and just backed out of the way. it was funny watching non-stop orbital strikes on my tank be wasted. with that said, this was before the update. so for all i know the orbital strikes, strike much faster or something. |

I don't think you read the post. This wasn't a rant about tanks being too weak.
I never drove a tank in my life but I can see the issue.
As a forge gunner the lack of tanks in the field is a bit depressing.

In last build they talked about reducing the warning to two seconds or less.
Right now continual PS are instadeath for 99 out of 100 clones.
Oh well back to militia only gear and not bothering with skilling anything.
No need to train anything.
Lack of SP fixed.

The warning delay was shortened significantly. It used to be rare to get caught out in the rain, but now I understand the warning is less of a "Get away now" and more of a "You are about to die" statement. |

Time to practice your skills against LAV's and infantry. I don't think you will see enough tanks or dropships this build to make it worth it. |

You can create a new topic in this section : Feedback/Requests requesting exactly what you want the game improve. Since the "general discussion" section is not the appropriate for this kind of discussion.

They cut the warning time AND increased the radius. |

I think they mean how OBs one shot a tank.
So it won't matter what you fit or how high you train |

if your tank only has 1000 shield, and 1000 armor. it should get killed by OB, with out much of a problem... its day 2 of this build, build a better tank and you-Śll see. Or use a lot of speed boosters. |

I've dodged about half of the precision strikes called near my dropsuit. It's not that hard if you move immediately. The problem is when 2 or 3 are coming down and slightly spaced around an objective or something. You run away from one, only to be bombarded by the next one.
Possible fix for the players that are farming WP in their spawns: don't let them earn WP while in their 'safety zone'. Force them to run out onto the battlefield if they want to earn any points. I would gladly hunt down any players doing it on the edge of the red zone. |
