Railgun Sniping ain't what you are all making it out to be..... The Draw Distance makes spotting anything finicky @ best. More often than not I can't see a Dropship before it gets into its Optimal Position (On top of a Structure) where it is thusly recalled. What proceeds is an unavoidable Time-Sink of HAVs & Dropships no longer being called out on the opposite side (LAVs are mostly exempt) due to the now impervious positioning of an Assault FG & LOLSwarm (You only need 1, but 2 = Map Win). Add a Sniper to the mix (In a Logi Suit of course....) & you now have a 3-Man Cell capable of Total Map Control with no fear of opposition.
An Assault Dropship can essentially frustrate & pin a Tank if the Pilot is skilled. Couple the Draw Distance Issues (Often targets disappear even as I move CLOSER to it.....) with a quick moving Vehicle that can hide out of range of EVERYTHING & swoop down overhead to persistently pester, causing a game of Cat & Mouse to commence where nobody wins. Then, from out of nowhere, the hidden Dropship deploys AV right next to you, & there goes the Tank.
Dropships are technically in a better place than Tanks due to Applications & Flight Ceiling Abuse. Not to say they don't need some love (WP/Spawn) but I assure you that a Skilled Pilot will survive just fine. Tanks will continue Redline Sniping b/c EVERYTHING is their Counter:
LAV + Lai Dai Packed = FEAR
Proto Assault Forge (Idk why a faster RoF gets more Damage than Standard.....illogical, Variant is OP) = Terror
***Proto Swarms = Auto-Loss (Pre-Module Activated @ Full Shield before hit on Max Madrugar = 2/3 Armor HP left, only survives if Insta-Recall after 1st hit)***
Dropship dropping off AV or playing Hide 'n Seek w/ Flight Ceiling
Other Redline Sniping Tank....
The only thing not an issue to Vehicles are Plasma Cannon (Dumbfire w/ Arc & low Damage/Range). So until there is Balance to where 1 AV guy can't Solo the Map (Even w/o OP height advantage.....) & Draw Distance Issues are fixed, there is no incentive to stop Redline Rail Sniping. Everyone tries to protect their investment.....& ours (Vehicles minus LAV) runs the Wallet into the Red for 5-10 Matches (STD & ENF respectively) @ the loss of just 1. Anyone b**ching about someone trying to avoid Death is an ignoramus & a liability on the field of Battle. |
