M5 and FXAA balancing
I thought this deserved its own thread. If not, merge and hide as done with others. So based on the original class briefings, the Engineer Class is going to be the only class with access to Shoulder...

@PsubondYour secondary gadget will be the repair tool, just like in previous games, and you will be able to use rocket launchers/mines, just like in previous games.
Do you honestly believe people are going to pick crawford and boris with a repair tool and launcher in anywhere near enough numbers to counter vehicles?
@PsubondSo what do you propose? Any vehicle that gets 15 kills automatically self-destructs?
No. Do you want to fight vehicles? You take a class that is designed to fight vehicles. That's how it ALWAYS worked. And that's how it will work in this game. Currently, any vehicle besides Stealth heli and transport are utterly useless.
EBCL-RAM and Littlebird can be good to a certain extent in the hands of experienced players.
Everything else is literal garbage. BMTs are slow and shoot nerf darts
Railgun tanks are camping in spawn so infantry never see them
Wildcat 9/10 sits on the edge of a map with dual 30mms and shoot in the air so infantry has nothing to do with that.
Attack helicopter are slow, made of paper, have no firepower to fight anything compared to stealth.
Jets are only good at harassing air vehicles. Beside that they're totally harmless

My solution is leave things the way they are now.
Tell you what bub, I'll bookmark this thread and we will revisit after the update. We will see who is right.
Removing FXAA from Rao will prove to be a major mistake. Air (particularly steath bomber) is going to have a field day after this. The designers are fooling themselves if they think that people are going to somehow be able to coordiate the hack timing.
- @DigitalHype the hacked vehicle or aircraft will show the hacked symbol when hacked, but Rao gets nothing for hacking, so if he can't shoot, I doubt anyone plays him.
@AdamonicTrue. People seldom play Rao now. It's going to be much worse. There are so many matches where I'm the only person blocking the stealth heli with hack/AA combo. Most players are clueless about the hack symbol. It's been in the game for a few months now, too.
