If you're dying a lot, even when you're as good a player as you say you are (I'm not discounting this, I'm being quite serious) then it's not as good a specialization as it should be.
A CQC scout - according CCP - should be able to close the distance with a Heavy and he'll be in trouble. Now, taking on five guys is a stretch, but part of the CQC Scouts ability is to throw frontline's into disarray. If you're dying before that happens - then you're not good at the specialization. But if -all of us- are dying before that happens, then it's the role itself.
There are lot of people who are using the Scout suit that are finding it very difficult to remain positive in the KDR spectrum - and while the game isn't solely based on KDR you have to at least be able to make your role worthwhile and inflict more casualties than not. |

You're not understanding what we're all trying to say:
Speed tanking should be a means of survival just as much as shield tanking/armor tanking. |

Scouts shouldn't simply win vs a heavy or a assault ... sure, they have the advantage, but that doesn't mean they should always win. Scouts are about speed and agility ... run it, hit hard, run to cover, repeat, If your planing to stay for a fire fight as a scout, then your fighting a uphill battle.
other then that, Scouts seems to be best for other actions as well as ... well, scouting the battlefield ... the armor has a lower index (chance of showing up on the enemies radar) when simply running if not line of sight.
Asking a scout to be a top lvl soldier is like asking a heavy to be a runner ... can be done, but it'll be a tough fight =/
Why all this hatred for the scout, exactly..? |
