Having T1'd Lis, I can add info
Lis Rockets damage is variable depending on where you hit. It starts at 25 and is reduced by armor. it is important to note, Lis, by design, is NOT supposed to solo a vehicle. her quasiSOFLAM and being able to see damaged vehicles is a support function. However, I have 1 shot vehicles, I link a 1 shot as an example.
In this video, I 1 shot a Bolte which is an armored vehicle. Usually it takes 4 missiles from Lis to get this, but notice where the missile impacts. You will also notice the vehicle isnt highlighted RED so it is at full health.
Most of Lis' rockets hit the highest armor point. Lis rockets/issue
- The rocket range sucks
- The rockets are very slow
- The rockets lack agility
- The cooldown between 2 - 3 is 20 seconds. If Lis is solo, the vehicle regenerates more health then what a rocket delivers
- The rockets are shot down frequently
- Lis lights up like a beacon and is killed before the rocket arrives (sitting duck)
One thing can fix Lis. Eliminate the borg regeneration from the game. That being said, you have to learn and up your skill as you play. By the time I was T2, I could guess most pilots moves. For instance, Kaleidoscope, Pilots go around buildings. If as I approached, if they went right to left, I went left to right, hitting them in the windshield. For Stealth and Tbirds, this is a one shot. I simply guessed where they were going. Had they just flown straight, they would have outrun the rocket.
Over time, you will learn air and armors moves. You will adjust and increase your success. Just remember, it doesnt take 2 recoils or AAs to down a vehicle, why should 2 Lis rockets do that? Lis' abilities are to entice teamwork, not solo play.
