I don't own a skyguard... >.>
Though Viper AP's an OK AA, it sucks against high-flying libs.

[DJ]

Do you have a Vanguard AP? That thing really messes up air if you can get a good angle.

[zombat]

Counter attacks can happen if organised correctly.

Gal drops with a tank zerg can dislodge campers fairly easily, but you're going to need an organised platoon to pull it off - something that rarely happens now that SOE has removed most of the strategic wiggle room for linear paths.

[Ozyton]

Skyguard is a great lightning upgrade, it probably would have worked as its own separate vehicle. I think you can buy it with certs, but if you don't feel like spending them you could pull a MAX with the default burster arm, but make sure you have someone who can give you a ride. It won't be amazing but it will be better than having absolutely nothing at all.

Basilisks are an overall great weapon but the elevation on it isn't as great as it is on the skyguard, ranger, or walker, so if the lib is directly overhead you're screwed.

Speaking of libs, I've never actually gunned for one... I'm more of an infantry kind of person myself...

EDIT: In the outfit I run with there's usually a platoon of three of four squads each night, occasionally running two platoons on good nights. We were banging our heads against the wall on a... tech plant I believe, and had lost our sunderer. While the enemy was starting to push forward we gal dropped on the gun deck and wrought havoc among their base. We lasted for a good few minute holding the gun deck, and while there were only a few of us it was enough of a distraction/force (with the hacked turrets) to let our zerg push through their front lines. Eventually we took the base from them, and only one or two of our squads even made it to the gun deck initially.

Yeah, I've gotten at least a dozen flyswats with that.

In about two hours I will be participating in the Connery vs Cobalt Server Smash. 240vs240 on the PTS; the match will be streamed here.

Maybe if you watch you'll see me headshotting lots of Europeans.

[Sonlirain]

And i'm still torn about what i sould buy... right now i'm torn between.

a - Rocket pods/Coyotes for my ESF
b - Crossbow
c - Strikur 4 muh hvy. i don't use the rocket launcher much against infantry anyway and having a multipurpouse rocket launcher against both air and ground simplefies things.

[DJ]

Rocket pods + thermal sights IMO.

[zombat]

Go for rockets, roflpods are a good way to farm kills and kill tanks.

Crossbow is a bit meh, slow projectile speed and heavy drop mean you're not going to hit anything that isn't standing still 50 meters in front of you. Commissioner and Underboss work better.
Striker is complete garbage now, not worth anywhere near a 1000 certs. You're better off getting both the grounder and SKEP for half the cost.

[Tiruin]

BR ~50 people are just too strong x_X

I thought about that too when i started. After getting skill and knowledge in game you can easily beat BR99.
Love my shotgun when it comes in close range battles but can't live without my squad
Fun game but after 300+ hours in it i'm taking brake and check back maybe in month or two.
Always fun to start fresh on different faction. I hope TR get it's shit together by then

Nanosuit upgrades help survivability...by a ton I've found out. Even a single upgrade could save lives.

You can beat br99's, but not br100's with maxed out everything.

A shotgun shell at close range will end them anyway. they are problematic not becayse they have godlike powers and items but because they are likely in a organized group where all sides are covered sensor darts fly left and right and your entire base is bombarded by a fleet of liberators and MBTs from the zerg that formed around them.

Headshot to the face + sniper rifle. ^ ^

*reads back*
Aww. SO I'm TR and probably facing you people as enemies. :c

[Aklyon]

What server are people talking about usually, anyway?

[Toaster]

All over the map.  Several of us are Mattherson (myself included), Jim's Connery I think, several on Miller, and what not.

[Aseaheru]

I am either on miller or connery, I forget what one.

[Tiruin]

Interestingly enough, whenever I see people getting camped in a spawn I never see them pull back and grab vehicles from the next base in the lattice, they always just camp in the spawn room and wait to lose the facility. I don't know how viable counter-attacking from the next lattice would be though... because nobody has ever tried it from my experience... Hmmmm.

This so much.
-_-
I mean it couldn't hurt to bring in oh, armored and aerial reinforcements when such are dominating the spawn. :X

It seems most people play on European or American servers?

[Aklyon]

Ah, Mattherson. I'm on there too. Probably haven't met any of you or ye guns yet though.
