i know how to play the drone
this video was just a random few seconds to talk over about the drones
and the parrot is not designed for single target an air strike inside a garden could take out multiple plants no problem
its designed to do both single target AND multiple targets because of the instant deployment
while garlic is limited because of the delay
when you get down to it you will perform better with the parrot taking out any plant you lay eyes on
while the garlic air strike and normal fire and control are all on a lower level then the parrot
who cares about roles its flat out worse then parrot
and a cactus is flat out worse then a pirate
edit" also the parrot is more easy to aim due to the color of the laser shots its like a pure line that is visible to the target you just place the beam over the target
the garlic shots are almost invisible you do not get that help while aiming in the form of a solid line from your drone to the target
other then that i dont know but it feels like the parrot has a tiny splash or something somehow shots land more easily
if you shot both garlic and parrot into a white wall you will notice the impact marks of the parrot are larger like the actual projectile is larger thus making it easier to hit the target
all i know is the garlic takes much more effort to kill with and you will get much less kills with it compared to the parrot
I've done some testing in the Background Battelyard, and I tested the bullet dispersion of the Garlic Drone. I've destroyed about 40 turrets and shot a friend a couple of times and I can conclude that the Dtone doesn't have bullet dispersion, but it suffers from misaligned crosshairs. The shots hit somewhat lower and on the left side of the crosshair inset of the middle. This doesn't have any impact from mid to close range, but it reduces effectiveness at long range. The Garlic also suffers from a slight control problem that causes it to permanently fly up/down when standing still, further reducing accuracy. The best way to destroy a long ranged target is to attack it with a dive attack, as this will negate the control problem, and if the target is in your hit zone, the Garlic is 100% accurate. The misaligned crosshair is still an issue, as it makes aiming harder. The Parrot doesn't suffer as much as his projectile is bigger, just like the one from the GW1 Zombot Drone, making it easier to hit long range targets.
On a sidenote, I still disagree about the airstrike. The Eggsplosion only kills multiple players if they are in the middle of the airstrike, as it deals very low damage on the outside compared to the Garlic, which covers a bigger area with more devastating projectiles, at the cost of deploy time.
good info
yes i also tested it more and its true the garlic wont spread on his shots
but in reality the control is more sensitive then the parrot so it translated to me as a wider shot spread
and yes its true the point the shots are coming out of the garlic is a bit strange
overall when using the parrot i feel in control of a devastating tool and using the garlic i feel like i am fighting a broken tricycle or something trying to go straight while having sticks in the wheels
I know its not a perfect alternative but I find I have more success with the artichoke drone. the rapid corn husk bombs seem to be more reliable, the cross hair seems to be better aligned, and it has more health.
