Getting one-shot from across the map feels terribly unfun. Sometimes they just spawned with it but for some reason it does a full one-shot from 700m+. It's happened 5 times today in a few hours and once just after spawning in myself.
The sad thing is that Dice puts themselves in these troubles by implementing things that are overpowered and then (sometimes) going on a nerf-rampage which makes them almost useless afterwards.
Dice needs to remind themselves that it is a computer-game where balance comes first when designing weapons / vehicles. Things like Stealth helis, rail-gun-weapons/vehicles are not worth putting in the game, because they will get either overpowered or totally useless and these things are often 'abusable', which just encourages stupid gameplay or ruins the fun for everyone.
I honestly haven't had much of an issue with them, they're slow as hell and easy to sneak up on.
If they are camping in their base, I shoot the sentinels and then rocket the crap out of them.
Yeah, I could see that.
I can also understand pilots getting a little hot and bothered by it, it does do a considerable amount of damage and getting spawn-killed is pretty aggravating. On the other hand, as someone who has been spawn-killed by helos in this game more times than I can count it's hard to feel much empathy to pilots getting lasered by the TOR.
I am primarily a ground-pounder, and they really don't pose much of a threat to ground-based targets, if I were to hop in a tank, I would opt for the MBT over the TOR any day of the week.
I take my words back. Lately i have been killed with it more frequently. My question is,
DOES IT EVER MISS? 90% of times i get shot by is first shot for tank guy, rarely i see projectile miss.
About empathy, i understand that. But this is a bit overkill. We are talking here about infantry vs helo mostly. Only one weapon does 1ohk in helo are bombs, which even actually are not. But my point is, that tank gives no warning sign, it can appear everywhere and is very hard to follow.
I suppose its charge time could be increased but as a railgun, it cant really have much drop off considering the maps aren't more than a few thousand meters.
That said, I find mobility mode charges decently enough and Seige Mode leaves you a sitting duck. Until a fix happens, all I can really suggest is moving a little more sporadically - the one shots at full health are usually because the cockpit gets hit.
Can't say I sympathize with pilots at all though; time for them to get what's coming to em

This 1000x. It is their turn to feel what it is like to get zapped and not be able to do anything about it
Also, a main gun on a freaking tank SHOULD one shot any aircraft and it is a railgun. Anyone who knows anything about exterior ballistics knows that the higher velocity the projectile (and higher BC) the lower the drop at a given distance (flatter shooting)
