[QUOTE=SeamanStains;37522402]If any NC want to play with an outfit on east02, [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/SeamanStaines]add me on steam.[/url][/QUOTE] Added, my name is Contageast on east02 [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Killerjc;37522422]listen pal my tr outfit will crush your nc outfit[/QUOTE] We can't stop here. This is reaver country

God engineer is so fun, I can't see a real reason aside from AT to play anything else Run around, repair stuff, drop ammo packs for buddies, setup turrets to mow down people by the bundle, and (Eventually) get C4 and mines and all sorts of other fun things so I won't even need to switch classes to go AT Edit: Also fuck Reavers. Fuck them to death.

So when is Station Cash gonna be enabled?

[QUOTE=SeamanStains;37522093][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vMniLrDOzA[/media] Our group on EU2 doing some air patrols.[/QUOTE] Video should have ended with everyone from our outfit landing side by side and then me going just a tad too fast and exploding on contact.

The scythe is such an awful air vehicle, the cannon does almost no damage, is inaccurate as hell, and the afterburner is completely bugged. All air vehicles need a radar anyway so you can actually tell where enemies are instead of flying around blindly going by sight. Really the only viable air weapon is either the enhanced damage cannon on the other teams or the missiles.

I thought the laser on the Scythe did quite fine damage, it's also very accurate. only problem is the slower bullet travel time so you have to adjust for speed much more then the other aircrafts.

Radar is an upgrade. I thought the complaint was that the scythe is [I]too[/I] accurate. To the point where having the pixel perfect aiming in a dogfight is actually detrimental. But yeah the Scythe is probably the the worst.

I just shot three lightning shells at a TR main tank and got confirmed direct hits on it. It then swivels it's turret and one-hits me. How is this balanced or fair.

The AP turret kills maxes with one headshot, one-shots infantry with a direct hit, and kills Prowlers in ~3-5 shots.

How come no FP'ers seem to play on EU1, we should make a TR outfit there.

I play on EU1 but as Vanu.

It does less damage, has a smaller clip-size, and it doesn't show tracers.. but hey it's got larger spread!

[QUOTE=blazingfly;37522851]I just shot three lightning shells at a TR main tank and got confirmed direct hits on it. It then swivels it's turret and one-hits me. How is this balanced or fair.[/QUOTE] Because you're using an non-upgraded light tank against a probably AP upgraded MBT. Sounds balanced to me. Not to mention you're grossly exaggerating, considering even an AP vanguard can only two shot a lightning.

I didn't realise upgrading had such an effect on your ability to kill things, I thought they were sidegrades and didn't really bother upgrading. Sucks that it's one of those one's where if you get kills you can upgrade which helps you get more kills so you can upgrade more, meaning any un-upgraded vehicle that goes against you gets steamrolled.

The very definition of a sidegrade. Your lightning fires HEAT shells which are High-Explosive Anti-Tank shells, they're a jack of all trades, but aren't specialized against armour. Not to mention you essentially tried to go up against a MBT with an APC.

You're not understanding. A side-grade makes you really good at one thing, but suck at the others. Rather than universally better. Not to mention there isn't a weapon ingame that can oneshot kill a vehicle frontally.

You sure you were taking fire from one thing only? Speaking from experience as HA, seeing an enemy tank fight another is the best time to run behind it and nuke it in the rear with a rocket.

[QUOTE=Killerjc;37522378]any tr want to play with my outfit? [url]http://92nd.ucoz.com/forum/[/url] [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/92ndAD[/url] we're on east02, and i'm going to get on in a couple hours[/QUOTE] I'm probably down to join. Njall. Reavers are totally balanced. Totally.

Are you sure it was just him? Was there anyone else on the deathscreen?

Tank damage indicators specifically are an issue right now so you might be mislead by how much damage you take. Additionally, rockets/shells hitting tanks make the bullet ricochet sound occasionally. MBT's are quite tough in reality, though Lightnings are a little too weak imo.

Jebus, Aux comes in so slowly. I've been playing a while, participated in several base captures, and only got around 1600.

Third time crashing with the vehicle explode bug (Crash when your current vehicle explode while you're in it). Any temporary bugfix?
