Here's what I figure the most effective counter is for these roles
Deployables logistics- assaults & snipers
Medics- snipers
Snipers- countersnipers, vehicles, heavy AV
Assaults- heavy assaults, vehicles
Heavy assault- deployables logistics, vehicles
Tankers- any AV
'gunship" dropshippers- AV heavies
Spawn dropshippers- swarm launchers and forge guns
Support logistics pilots- what?
AV- assaults, snipers
Heavy AV- deployables logistics, assaults
I could be more specific, but this is just a quick post |

Sure, you could use a tank or dropship, but that's pushing it, and a sniper parked high up somewhere with Sharpshooter Lvl. 5 is impossible to take out without a dedicated counter sniper, which I believe is a flaw in mechanics with a weapon that can be skilled up so powerfully. Also, a sniper is incredibly easy to use at the moment.
Wait until artillery, cloaking (works both ways), and bombers. |

That's the thing, we can just always say "wait until x balances y out", however it still ruins the game until that patch comes out. It's a beta, which is why people are forgiving and are quick to look at the future, but once the game goes live, counter measures need to be placed quick, without people having to wait until the next patch or update.
That also works both ways- if we balance A B and C out, the brand new D could throw everything out of balance again. |
