Always makes me laugh when a squad whole squad opens fire and takes down a mosquito or a scythe with only small arms.

Oh the best is when it happens upon a infantry platoon consisting entirely of Teamspeak equipped outfit members. Thing liquifies instantly.

[Knight of Fools]

Which is why, if all aircraft were vulnerable to small arms fire, the air-infantry balance would be much better.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Well we cant have a roving band of pistoleers going around destroying libs n gals left and right.

[Knight of Fools]

You're right! They'd have to actually play like they weren't invincible or something!

Oh, the humanity!

Less than 100 certs away from the G2A heavy rockets. Anyone know if they suck, or are they actually good?

[Siquo]

You need 3 for a kill, which turned them from usable (used to be 2) to sucky. Also, everyone and their grandmother has G2A, so any decent aircraft pilot carries flares, which nullify the entire weapon.


It's useful for sniping infantry, I guess?

They're 'meh'. Good at scaring the crap out of your average ESF pilot, and driving pilots away once the 5-second flares wear off. Handy at keeping the skies clear (certainly better than those squishy AA turrets). Absolutely useless if you actually want to gain certs. And far less direct damage compared to the standard launcher, so not terribly useful against tanks (1000 damage versus 1700).

If you're any good at piloting, I'd suggest sinking those certs into the A2A ESF missiles and learning how to fly, since dogfighting seems to be the best way to counter bombers. If you really want to remain an infantry soldier, though, the G2A launcher is probably the best use of your certs.

Ninja edit: it's identical to the standard RL for sniping infantry - same move speed, same splash damage.

[GreatJustice]

So...what's the best G2A weapon then? So far as I can tell, the only practical way to fight planes without certs is other planes or rarely the regular AA guns (if everyone is manning them and they surround the perimeter of open skies, since they go down in maybe two volleys of rockets).

[Ivefan]

get the second burster for the max. You can occasionally kill an esf by yourself if you let them come close

[Glowcat]

If anyone hasn't been keeping up with the news, they're doing double XP from the 21st until the 2nd of January and on the 21st (December) they're having a 3x SC sale.

[Gamerboy4life]

Huh, this was interesting.

Need to stop flying so low.


But what IS a good way to gain certs quickly? Whenever I drive a tank/fly a mosquito, they're useless because they don't have the 500 cert weaponry that's pretty much required for any sort of efficiency, and I can only earn like 15 certs after playing hours and hours of infantry. (Usually engie or medic.)

[Glowcat]

I've heard that gunning a Dalton-armed Liberator rakes in plenty of certs. Around 99 per hour is a high-end estimate.

On the ground I have some decent success as a Medic just reviving/healing people.

[GreatJustice]

Yeah, playing CAS gunner on a lib with decent explosives and a half intelligent pilot can get absurd numbers of certs, and playing medic in a huge ass warzone with lots of casualties will do the job too. Engie is okay and fairly good for getting certs in any situation too, though.

I just like playing Engie for setting up a nice killzone and mowing down the lemmings with a turret.

Provided my teammates cover my ass, in most cases they do not.

But yeah, gunning in a lib with a 105 is really, really fun. Literally my favorite thing to do in the game right now.
Boom.

[miauw62]

Try to find a heavily populated biolab as engie. The biolab has to be yours and under attack, and you need to be holding ground. The platforms are just huge certfarms for any engie. Plop down a few ammo packs and heal the MAXs.
