Rao is one of my go to specialists on anything other than exposure BT second sector (64 man layout). my mastery is 160+ and i use him to make life miserable for vehicles. i have caused SO many MAVs, tanks etc to be blown up because they over extend and when i hack them they are defenseless. i can't shoot down a condor or hind on my own but i can make it so if they don't run they will die because they can't shoot or use flares. He is also the best counter to stealth helos (some * actually sent me hate mail calling me a * because i hacked him then shot him down with a stinger lol, what else are you supposed to do to a helo that won't leave stealth mode?) rao is anything but useless if you know what you are doing and have somewhat competent teamates.

@Adamonic IIIRC it does.
@Psubond I never said it doesn't. But as the rest of the game feels inconsistent.

never said it doesn't what? i feel like i missed something ☹️ i just wanted to point out that rao is very powerful depending on how you use him. you can still get a ton of exp per match with him too (i usually switch from stinger to med bag/ammo box to get enough to get at least logistics ribbon I so i get a minimum of one of each ribbon each game)
- LlamaWithKatana3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Psubond I never said Rao has no place on battlefield or weak (though I wouldn't mind some buff to hack duration and separate XP events). Great support but relies on teammates heavily (in perfect scenario you can hack and fire one AA rocket which ain't enough). Without team support Rao feels underperforming. Maybe if Rao could hack devices through walls (even now everything is wireless, cmon) it would buff Rao as support to shut down sentinels and turrets for some time.
My compain is that despite @EA_Atic says that it was me Rao's hack doesn't perform that well (I still not convinced that this LATV firied before hack as on 10th second you can see muzzle flash from firing even after hack). With 60mm (see, not .cal XD) flak those deponate on impact and don't bounce. On that distance with at least 1sec (closer to 2sec) from hack there is no way he fired before. I also experienced few times that even despite the hack I am able to shoot. So Rao is amazing BUT hack doesn't work 100% and this makes him bad because his ability is unreliable.
