The overall commander for the Connery forces during the Connery vs Cobalt Server Smash match (that I participated in) last Saturday made a half-hour summary of the match, featuring narrated footage from the battle from multiple players. It's edited so that multiple perspectives are shown during the same battle. E.G., there are a couple ESF duels with the perspective of both players, and perspectives from different players in combined arms pushes.

It's pretty cool.

My proximity mines don't seem to be working. Anyone else having the same problem?

What kind of mines? If it's a TR Claymore--they are facing a direction instead of omnidirectional (Tradeoff = higher damage), in which it faces the direction you face when placing it.

Bouncing betties. On infiltrator, dunno if they work on engie since I don't have them unlocked. Anyway, I've been trying to run into a group of enemies and drop a mine under them, but it doesn't want to explode.

MBTs are generally a suboptimal choice for AA. Why not use a Skyguard?

anti-air prowler, what certs/weapons?

pls respond

Max Anchored Mode, AP, and side of hill. Racer so you can get to sides of hills really quickly and Top Armor obviously because Nanite Auto Repair is for scrubs who attack other tanks instead of shoot down galaxies.

Ranger with 2x zoom instead of Walker for when you have some poor sucker somebody riding shotgun while you take pot shots at Liberators 1000m away.

With this loadout you're practically guaranteed to get, like, one aircraft kill per hour.

It's better to just switch to NC and get an AP Vanguard for those sweet, sweet ESF instagibs. As an added benefit, you'll also get FREEDOM!

So everyone else can hear the clarion call of FREEDOM, delivered by our SCREAMING FREEDOM EAGLE.




AP Vanguard is indeed quite a capable (if an underutilization of the resources) AA platform.  Guy I roll with a lot has mastered tagging libs with it at serious distances.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Really?

The other two factions can both one shot kill an ESF with AP, the Prowler requires you to land BOTH shots just to get it smoking not even on fire
