DUST Search - Dust514 needs fighters to counter tanks in Ambush.

Every single time a team spawns tanks first, that's the team that usually wins the round.

Multiple forge guns/swarm launchers work? No, if tanker is competent.

How bout a dropship? Not if the enemy team automatically knew that was coming and had swarm launchers at the ready.

So what can harass multiple tanks(and keep them from pubstomping the entire team) and be fast enough to avoid most incoming fire? A fighter/gunship.

In battlefield tanks don't last entire rounds simply because they need to deal with ground troops/vehicles as well as aerial threats, not just the entire team in one area and a helicopter(dropship), along with a couple of jeeps riding by(easy pickens).

IMO if anything in this game is OP right now are tanks in that game mode. Once they spawn in, you can be 90% sure your winning that round, especially if theirs 3 of them.

That's why I say add fighters ASAP(tm), not SOON(tm), if there ever is to be vehicle balance in this game.

UPDATE: EVERY KITTEN TIME!!!

I'm a tanker and it's actually getting way too easy for me to get 30:0. Fighters would be cool. +1

They'll be back. Don't worry.

Ulysses Knapse Nuevo Atlas Corporation 102	Posted - 2013.03.09 18:59:00 - [7] - Quote And what who will counter the fighters? Dropships? No, fighters counter dropships. Swarm launchers? No, swarm missiles are too slow. Other fighters? Not enough. We need some real anti-air before we get fighters. It should fast, but not overly damaging. Fighters should be fragile, less durable than dropships, since they have an easier time evading threats.
Eric Starstrike UNIT 304 0	Posted - 2013.03.09 20:36:00 - [8] - Quote I was thinking about something like this a few months ago. I think its a great idea. the dropship are too hard to fly and can be destroyed easily. it would be great to have a fighter instead.
SERPENT-Adamapple Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 9	Posted - 2013.03.09 20:55:00 - [9] - Quote Swarms are meant for anti-air, so are missle turrets, even tanks can shoot dropships out the sky. Fighters are top of the food chain and the tank needs something to keep it from ruling ambush matches. Or take vehicle use in that mode out altogether. It's not fun when your entire team is getting slaughtered by 3 tanks. Plus I don't think the fighters are going to look and fly exactly as it was shown when they first revealed it. This is unreal engine graphics and gameplay. They could be slow as molasses for all we know, when released.

SERPENT-Adamapple Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 9	Posted - 2013.03.09 23:16:00 - [11] - Quote I keep on hearing about gunships but have not seen any pics or lore on them, would you please enlighten me. The fighters I've seen, but nothing on gunships. I've even seen pics of the MTAC.
