  • What do you like?
  • What do you dislike?
  • Anything you'd like to see changed?

Drop your comments below.

Like:  nothing about locked gadgets

Dislike: 

  1. Lis can only use 40% of her class gadgets
  2. Rao can't see when he designates a target with hack
  3. boris and crawford have specialist gadgets that are useless against vehicles and marginal at best against infantry
  4. Rao can't use FXM (what is the point of the hack to fight against stealth if Rao isn't a credible threat to helo?  window is too short for others to recognize and lock onto helo and have missile reach target before hack wears and flares are popped)
  5. assault offeres nothing to the team, they can only help themselves

Changed:

  1. make recon class gadget soflam, right now beacon is being used on a hillside 400m from objectives
  2. make target designation like it used to be (everyone can see at all times) including when designation is from hack
  3. make crawford and boris's specialist gadget useful against vehicles
  4. move Rao to engineer class (the classes don't have to be even just for the sake of being even.  put people where they belong)
  5. allow lis to choose which launcher she will have as her specialist gadget (with the same cooldown/recharge mechanic that the TGM has right now.  2 of any other kind of missile won't break the game.
  6. move ammo box to assault and lock weapons to classes to give people an incentive to choose to be a medic, carry ammo, fight vehicles or...idk whatever it is that recon does (sit on a hillside and miss a lot?)

might edit this later but that's all i have time for right now

@Psubond You say that Assault contributes nothing to the team while asking for Rao to become a self-sufficient class that contributes nothing to the team. You want him to be in a solo class that requires no help or contributes anything

    how long do you think 3 missiles last?  and how well does that hack work on a mav when it is full and rolls up on an objective (hint pretty well because it lets others use c5 without getting nailed with flak cannon and allows others to lock onto the vehicle)?  or when the condor/hind hover over an objective.  Rao contributes by stopping the transports from sitting on an objective and allows others to lock onto them aka contributes to the team.  what does assault bring?

      @Psubond So Rao contributes by allowing others to lock onto transports, therefore, preventing it from camping the objectives. How does putting Rao into engineer changes things? Rao is already good enough when it comes to "Team contribution"

        EDIT:  oooh, i see the issue here, you fly the stealth a lot and you want to protect it (checked your tracker page)

        negative.   two separate issues. 

        stealth helos are broken and the only one who can chase them off and provide a credible threat is rao.  two separate issues.  there is no reason for a stealth to hide when hacked if he pops flares because he will have a firewall and can just kill rao while the firewall is up with cannons then go back into stealth mode when cooldown is reset.

         there has to be a REASON for the stealth to need to run.  no one can see that the helo is hacked and designated unless they have a missile in hand and even if they do then many times there isn't enough time to engage the helo before flares are up again.

        oh, and before you go there, hitting a stealth with lis is blind luck unless the helo is just hovering and doesn't jink when the missile is coming in
