Planetside 2 V6 - VS capped Indar? It's more likely than you think

I can't be the only one that feels bad whenever I shoot down a level 1 Scythe/Reaver.
I have been away from Planetside 2 for a long time and I might get back into it but my main concern is the grind.
Is the grind still so shit?

Speaking as someone who no membership or boosters, I make between 30 and 100 certs an hour depending on exactly what is going on. I average a 1.5 KDR now days and mostly focus on healing or repairing. The discrepancy is caused by the nature of Planetside 2; sometimes I'm farming certs in a biolab with relative ease and other times I'm just moving from base to base with my squad without the opportunity to do much.
As to how this playstyle makes the grind feel: still pretty rough. It means that in a few hours I can unlock whatever I want, but the nature of certs and the sheer amount of things you need to unlock make it daunting. That said you do get a lot of game for free.
Overall I'd say the grind is still rather shit, but it's not a necessity to have fun. You aren't grinding to get to the real game; you are grinding to get better at the real game.
Speaking of JUGA, fuck those guys. "Roger that, Alpha and Bravo Oscar Mike. 3 hostiles confirmed defending the point, we need another platoon here Command. How copy?".
So i found out how these insane aircraft pilots do that manuever that makes them fly backwards

This must be old news for some of you but seriously why no one posted this before i've been wondering how the fuck was that possible for ages
..it's also very hard to pull off, do any of you know if it's easier on a controller?

Flying with anything but a mouse and keyboard (currently at the very least) is just gimping yourself.
The reverse maneuver is in essence just a matter of practice till mastery. It'll always feel difficult to pull off at first.
If you happen to need any more help/advice, just say.
You're not cool until you do all your dogfighting upside-down under a bio lab

I kinda tried the controller
yeah it didn't help much.
With the keyboard and mouse, i managed master the banking turn in the VR training right now, but the whole reverse thing is still complicated, i did manage to pull it off once or twice while trying though.
I think what really helped was binding the pitch up/down to a thumb mouse buttom so i can just press it while doing the manuever instead of moving my mouse crazily around my table.
I'll try doing it in a fight now to see how it goes, thanks for offerind advice, i'll let you know if i have any questions.

Funny you mentioned that, before i tried looking for video tutorials on how to fly properly, my method of striking a single target twice with rockets was to first fly normally over it while shooting, then do a loop and come back upside down on it.
It worked fairly well actually, i got pretty good at flying upside down, but the whole banking turn business seems much more effective :v:
Just played for about 30 minutes, and have no idea what the hell I am doing.
Well as you figured out you need to bind pitch up and down. You should also bind throttle analog. You use it to set your engine to really low output, do not hit W or S because that will override it. It's great for stopping quickly for turning and reverse stuff.
Wow, it's almost like I'm playing the PS2 Beta!

No fucking way.
Its changed a bit, NC have pushed back up into their territory.
By the way, what the hell is with light assaults one shotting me? I'm trying to get back into the game, but when I unload an entire clip into a light assaults head and they don't go down, and then they turn to me, fire once, and boom I'm dead I get seriously frustrated.
Also I'm getting annoyed by camo colors. I see people with such jarringly colored camo and it makes it hard to tell if they're on your team or not sometimes. Especially playing as NC and someone all in yellow starts shooting me, really annoying.
Are they using shotguns?
And I just rely on the dorito. If it's red it's dead, if it's blue I don't kill it. If it refuses to mark it's dead with an eventual "sorry" whisper.

I guess? I didn't even -know- there were shotguns. The gun descriptions are weird and make them [I]sound[/I] like rifles.

Confirmed throw away holiday weapons, not surprising I guess. I mean the concept of a cross bow and valentines day makes sense.

Finally a good hood look for NC.
atleast it's for valentines day, or they'll just release it fully after (which they probably will)
So I was sniping a bit, hiding near a small rock formation. After a while, I decided I needed to move before people started shooting back. I turned around and a Vanu tank was just [I]there.[/I] It didn't shoot me or anything, just stared at me.
Then I pulled out my pistol and shot it a few times and it blew me up.

Cool, more weapons that look exactly like every other weapon on the game.
I guess whatever they've been changing with airplanes has been working, because I'm seeing a lot more jets now than a month ago. Like a lot more.

Thats primarily due to the new Galaxy spawn mechanic. People are guarding their galaxies/hunting the enemy ones.
Idk if this has happened to anyone else, but when I spawned in a landed Galaxy and then got out of it I started to slowly float straight up into the air.

That's how high I got until I got bored and killed myself, and I was still rising higher when I did so.

I've had something similar happen to me. Recently when I bail out of aircraft I'll just float in mid air. I have to look down in order to actually start falling for some reason. Makes me feel like a cartoon character.
Galaxy spawning is awesome. We just had a gal sit at cieling and 3-4 people from our squad with drifters just gliding down on top of a 48+ enemy tower sniping tanks and destroying unsuspecting people down below while the pilot drowned in certs
They should probably limit it to being on the same timer as spawn beacons though, same for sunderer squad spawning.
They've updated the roadmap for the inf update. NS smg confirmed and same with Xbows. Also the faction snipers are different.
TR: fully automatic, medium damage, long-range rifle with accurate burst firemode
NC: Gauss powered railgun which can switch between firing a single high damage projectile or multiple mini-flechettes on the fly.
VS: semi-automatic sniper rifle with a charged shot doing bolt action damage. This weapons uses heat displacement mechanics instead of standard ammo
Dat VS sounds amazing, its a good day to be purple. Railgun is cool too I guess
