Good idea.
From watching your video it would need the attachment of heavy weapons, because any kind of turret would be too large. Turrets mean omni-directional firing ability, which can't be done if you're piloting atst, and should only be permitted on medium or larger craft.
Permit the attachment of an HMG, or a forge gun, and allow the use of ECM.
The craft will have limited ammunition pursuant with it's harassment and recon roles.
I don't see this really helping a sniper in it's role. It will simply make sniper-hunting easier. A sniper is on top of a building or up in a mountain? np. Just float along the edges of the map occassionally, and spray him. We can't do jack against vehicles anyway.
Snipers would simply go extinct. Camp at long range? Die. Run with your guys on ground? Die. Because a SR at close range is notoriously difficult to operate, and barely rewarding even if you can do it, since the AR has higher dps than you anyway.
The idea doesn't suck. I just don't see it aiding snipers much. A vehicle like that would be handy for nearly everyone.
It's a good idea. Sniping will probably be obsolete then. I'll switch to scrambler rifle primary by that point.
Sniping will be just as much a novelty as nova knives by then. |

Only a couple questions, before I make a final conclusion on it...
Is the flight speed variable?
How slow can it move?
Since you say it won't be a VTOL craft, it would have to move pretty quick to NOT be too effective against infantry. |

Limited ammo would somewhat make sense, but I don't think people should have to skill into heavy weapons. Besides, I'll bet that some vehicles later on will have fixed turrets too.
Well, they can fit MLT heavy weapons on it, as a bare minimum.
Considering the thing is supposed to be light, if they want the weapons to be more potent, they would have to skill into it.
Much like the turrets. You can't fit on a MH-82, if you don't skill into it, anymore than you can fit a neutron cannon on to a tank, if you don't skill into. |
