It's not my fault that Reddit is full of people with retarded opinions, and the devs actually listen to those people. It has taken the place of the official forums, even though I don't really understand why because both of them are full of shitposts by the same people.

>Bad players defending construction

So the shitters who can't adapt are the good ones? lmao, the mental gymnastics of bads always cracks me up.

If they introduced trunks for vehicles and you could carry one (1) of any weapon inside them, what would you lug around in your tonk/jeep?

Deci probably tbqh.

At least then I'll have a way to tell that one ESF that always ends up tailing me while flying in a predicable and easy to rocket way, to fuck off.

No, because I'm not the genius who decided to change people from spawning in on the warpgate to save ADD retards 10seconds of their super valuable time.

Hey let's just randomly drop motherfuckers in the middle of nowhere half the time and right smack in the middle of giant ass battles where they are killed within .5secs of touching the ground and that's if they even make it to the ground.

instead of

Ok we'll drop you off in the warpgate where the first thing you see after spawning is a room full of friendlies wearing various camos and helmets so you immediately get a rough idea of who your friends are. Also in this said room there are people asking questions and talking back and forth who can help get you straightened out. As well as vehicles coming and going that you can hop into that will get you to a battle and in a squad you can follow around.

Ok now let's spend countless dev hours trying to unfuck the damage this cause with all kinds of stupid shit that end up failing instead of just reverting the change. And also let's not mention that this would never have happened if we took the fucking time to add sanctuaries.

Fair enough. NCWest is 10 times worse than SOE was too so that lowers her chances.

>>140825406
Their point is being able to tell NC "Now you have something other than shotguns, stop crying."
Never mind that Gorgons are shite

>>140826420
But they already had Ravens. Falcons and of course slug ammo.

>>140826518
They don't want good weapons. They want machineguns. Because they saw a video on those OP mercies or blueshifts or whatever.

Nevermind that machineguns are terrible now more than ever before and MAX suits are best suited to peeking and firing with single shot rockets, but whatever.

>>140826329
also i didnt realize every nigger on NC seems shirk away from gunning a fully certed out enforcer unless im getting the harasser into a prime location for farming infantry

>>140826064
As a harasser pro, I can tell you I don't give a shit about lock-ons. Anywhere but the frozen rivers on Esamir, they're easy to break-lock on, or force to fly into a mountain. The annihilator is especially amusing, because you get heavies standing in the open trying to lock onto you while you run them down without resistance. They can't even dumb-fire the thing at you.

If you want to upset harassers, you use the lancer. That shit is frustrating - not the annihilator.

>>140827183
It's just the way of life senpai. Whenever there's a prime farm, you will not get a gunner, or you'll get a gunner with whom you just sit there thinking "why did I bother picking up this guy".

>>140827445
>As a harasser pro, I can tell you I don't give a shit about lock-ons.
Right, but the vast majority of people aren't pros. Just self-styled pros that are actually shitters.

Smart harassers know how to break locks without missing a farming step, but the vast majority just dumbly try and juke the lock off.

G2A for casual use. Annihilator if there's a decent vantage point and no real risk of close range encounters.

The less time you spend potentially getting dumbfires/archers shot into your stupid fat ass, the better.

I'd say archer, but sometimes I sit there bathing in MAX kills thanks to the thing, and it all feels worth it.

Probably the thermals for my harasser basilisk. It was a meme decision. I still feel the need to style on shitters with that + proximity radar. Eventually I guess.

>>140827953
They can't reliably kill a shielded, medkit chugging heavy unless cornered, and they still usually get a deci shot off. NC MAX guns kill anyone before they can react, overshield or not.

No bully I just started playing after two year because I was banned didn't think they would nerf it badly and did pretty fine when I manned one earlier.

>>140833925
Yeah a bit crazy, maybe more like a cert like slugs , could also applies for other empires mounted weapons weapons.

>>140833757
What the canister really needs is for each pellet to have a proximity flak effect against infantry.

The Mjolnir should have been a vehicle mounted Raven or Phoenix.

>>140834743
pre-nerf airhammer had that.

>>140834990
>worst DPS in the game
>50% of shots impact the firing vehicle
sure, why not?

>>140834990
no, the mjollnir should have been a railgun

basically a secondary with slower firing rate than even the vanguard main cannon and a chargeup making it even slower but enough alpha to satisfy our cries for a weapon that actually goes with NC philosophy

>>140834478
why'd you get b&

>>140835420
They refused to told me why but I would get it was from using SweetFX and despite trying I couldn't appeal it. The other day I got a mail from Planetside and tried to log on the site since I could I downloaded the game and was able to play. No idea why I was unbanned either really.

But the TR have to get a copy of the Enforcer to balance it all out.

I have been playing Man Hitter while monitoring this thread in my second monitor, and every time I look over I read your post and after hitting quite a few mans I still have no fucking clue what you just said.

So what do you guys think of underslung grenade launchers? I bought one as soon as I got my trac-5-s, and used it for quite a while. I think it's neat to have, and being able to spam grenades in biolabs endlessly as an engineer is neat, but they are kind of useless because of the low velocity and the low splash damage makes you have to get direct hits to kill anything.

Smoke grenade launcher, on the other hand, 100 certs I'll never get back. The smoke cloud is puny, and only lasts two seconds at most.

Except that no skill in the world can let's you "manage COF and recoil" to match the accuracy of the burst variants. A decently handled regular weapon is still better though.

>>140862926
Not really. It was decent when it could equip all attachments, but now it's a shotgun without alpha damage.

>>140858770
Just like when the game first came out a bunch of people probably downloaded the game to see if it would run on their PC and uninstalled when it couldn't.

Except unlike release probably half those people probably got farmed by BR 100+ players in cheese wagons and quit.

EVE has a similar "noobs get stomped big time", harsh learning curve, etc. However, when you look at reviews, it's almost like a mark of pride. Why doesn't it work the same with planetmans?

>>140863367
but the MCG is the best weapon for proving your skill by managing your COF

Welp time to log on and blow up shitTR's VP gens.

>>140863743
Because you need to at least be halfway competent at FPS games to not get memed on hard in addition to knowing the game well, unlike EVE where skill (of the FPS kind) isn't necessary.

Plus EVE is a slow, somewhat impersonal game whereas when your tonk gets fisted by a Liberator in seconds it'll get just about anyone mad; especially new players who don't know how to avoid it/don't have a lib of their own certed nor the skill to fly it to extract vengeance.

Nope. I had a bunch of fights yesterday attack the one pretty close to our wg. I seem to be the only one who can look at the map and see it says there are a bunch of TR lurking around. Not hard to track it down. Plus if you manage to catch it early on you can really fuck with them. Just hang back a little bit and watch where the ants are going when they get far away enough just pounce on them. And the usual making sure to blow up terminals in empty bases.

I don't see why a guided rocket with fuel to spare has drop when dumbfired.

I dont see what fucking problem they could have had with flamethrowers destroying performance in this game. theres been flamethrowers in first person shooters since the early ninetys. its an animated sprite of flame that shoots out of the weapon and fizzles out after travelling a certain distance. How terrible are your coders that this is ruining performance?

its probably just as well, flamethrowers in shooters are almost always just a worse version of shotguns. the coders dont bother to add behaviors like 'you can splash it around corners and into cover,' or just give them shit range. and with shooters that have some form of 3d spotting in them (as almost all games do now), theres no blinding or dazzling effect on the target. they can shoot you, with perfect accuracy, through a huge cloud of fire.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein had the only good FPS flamethrower.

I just watched VS get pushed the fuck out of Hossin and losing hexes with 65% population

>>140871175
It's not the fire itself that was it issue, I think it was the servers trying to handle cones of damage or something like that.

So this guy builds pretty much all the important shit that makes PS2 work in the first place, and then he up and leaves. All the other people who knew whatever the fuck that guy did left too.

The minor increase in optimal possible damage just isn't worth losing the alpha.

Typical scenarios are as follows:

>try to rocket it
>hit it with one rocket
>get fucked with shotguns

>vanu max
>hit it with two rockets
>get fucked with blueshifts

>far away tank
>miss 3 rockets, hit 3 rockets (if magrider, miss 5 rockets)
>would've done more damage with a lockon

>close up tank
>try to rocket it
>hit it with 3 rockets
>eat a tank shell

>oncoming esf
>hit 2 rockets, esf passes you, remaining 4 rockets move slower than it and cannot catch up

>liberator/gal
>hit most rockets probably
>would take like 40 more rockets to kill the liberator, 3x as much if it's a gal

It's basically the same problem the Lancer has, except the Lancer at least has a use in groups.

Ding ding ding. It would require code. No matter how little, it's more than what Wrel or Burness are capable of. They are not programmers. But swapping heeeeeelp.mp3 for i_need_a_gunner.mp3 is something even they can do.

It's because in every one of those situations, the stock dumbfire would be better.

or
>tank lost 5% and you died

>esf dead, liberator 1/3rd dead, or not damaged at all
or
>esf or liberator loses 10% heath, and you probably ate photon pods or a zephyr in the process

It takes long enough that any reasonably competent person in the vehicle you're shooting at will likely have killed you before you get to hide, whereas with a dumbfire you could already be around a corner, or away from a window, or behind a wall and reloading.

Not to mention how it loses all, or nearly all utility against infantry and MAXes,

>>140873982
But on the other hand, nobody expects anything from you. Stories tell about Smed hiring literal hobos from the streets.

>>140874503
Thats the thing. You are trying to use it like you would with your stock launcher when you shouldn't be.

Simply put they are easy kills you can get over and over. The ones getting the kills are "farmers" and the people being killed are "crops" It's a pretty shitty mindset that goes a long way to help killing off the game. Too many elitefpsfaggots running around trying to stroke their dicks about being a farmer, instead of playing just playing the game.

Also leads to a ton of crying by same said individuals because there's no way a shitter (everyone not them) could ever hope to kill them without hacks or being OP or cheesing.

Nothing, really

Its gimmick was supposed to be survivability, vs TR firepower and VS mobility, but it melts the same as any other tank. You get a 5 second panic button that will only saves you if you're already practically in cover.

The only thing that stands out about the vanguard is being able to 1-shot ESF's, which the magrider struggles to do and the prowler can't do.

Anyways, speaking as a tank fag, get a prowler. They're hands down the best tank. Highest speed, good armor, and the best firepower, especially when anchored.
