Why is it that a flaylock pistol is better at killing infantry than a missile turret? Anyone have any suggestions to ease my mind. I just don't understand how a mini rocket is so much better at killing than a big missile from a large turret. Oh, because infantry don't cry when the weapon is in their hand. Go figure they make a handheld weapon that fires the same type of ammo as a turret and the handheld weapon is more effective. FTW Maybe I should have put my 10 mil sp into flaylocks. Rather than dumping it all into a worthless missile turret for a tank that infantry can dodge the splash damage, which doesn't even hurt the enemy.

You must be kidding. Do you want turrets/tanks to be the ultimate to use killing machines? Would be unfair if we all had to deal with super strong infinite ammo shooters.

If you want easy killing turrets then request CCP give them limit ammo.

The only thing that makes sense is that Wolfman needs to be fired for ever letting this broken weapon pass QA

Flaylock = Learn2Bunnyhopnub

Hey man.... at least there not guided mini missiles like the devs hinted at before it was released, if they were i'd probably die of high blood pressure.....

The problem is that the difference in splash and direct damage of the Flalock is 11% and for the large missiles its 80%. Whats worse is that the splash damage of the STANDARD flaylock is 195 and the prototype accelerated missile is 104 could someone please explain how that makes sense.

Wrong on both nice try though. I don't use noob weapons I'm good if you think in wrong take a nice look at the player counts we are stuck with the beta players again lol.

Why you complaining about flaylocks then? A pro like you should be able to land a headshot with a scrambler before they even have time to fire their first shot

Do you have to reload the large missile turret after 3 shots? No you don't...which makes it perfectly balanced

The Flaylock pistol being an infantry weapon means that people with other guns feel that they can easily kill the user.

Someone on a turret with exactly the same damage output is OP because they're harder to hit.

If you're in a tank, your weapons being able to easily kill infantry is absolutely unacceptable.

That's about the size of it.

Has anyone seen the Viziam scrambler pistol? Thing is crazy powerful.

No they haven't seen them because people haven't realised their MASSIVE dmg potential and haven't started using them in larger numbers for people to declare them OP, yet.

how long is your reload time? thats what i thought.. you cant find one thing that makes this arguement fit for the flaylock im sorry

Do you have any idea how much damage similar weapons can pump out in the time it takes a flaylock user to reload? If not, look it up...and then shut up, because you seemingly only look at individual stats instead of really comparing things.

PS: If you almost quit playing the game because tanks don't work for you...well...you clearly suck at tanks.

You forget that when flaylocks are reloading the user is jumping around all over the place or running in circlers making him impossible to hit.

When the other gun is done jumping around they have to stop to shoot and you might have a chance to kill them at this time, a flaylock on the other hand if the previous shots landed just needs 1 more shot to kill. Also you can reload while moving but not when sprinting, I meant just general moving around everywhere.

Except one weapon requires aiming while the other requires shooting at the ground and letting splash damage do the work.

Or 2-3 shots for a medium Amarr and Gallente suit, 3-5 shots for a medium Minmatar and Caldari suit, and 5-7 shots for a Amarr heavy. 1 shot for any medium suit with no shields, and 2 shots for any Armor suit buffer tanking.

Actually my concern with the weapon is actually that it is made to punish armor users a little bit to much, we already have the majority of weapons doing this; where as no degree of shield punishing weapon can come close to it, since destroying shields doesn't destroy the armor . I do have ways to counter a flaylock pistol and that would be 2 fused locus, P2W, or a thin alleyway and a remote explosive waiting for you. But when it comes to a armor user vs a flaylock without these there is a 95% chance the armor user will die before even getting a chance to even shoot their weapon.

When it comes to Gallente and Amarr medium suits even with shields its a 1 clip kill, for any other suit its 2 clips including a heavy.
