I've seen attempts to do so. The result is... quite toxic.

Apparently, the hate for Tomcats is real, I've already seen a report of someone getting teamkilled for using them. Once I get some certs up, I'm going to equip them because I really love using weapons that really piss people off. That's why I got the smoke launcher and attached it to my AMR-66 though I rarely get to use it much.

Even more reason to shout over them then.

[Man of Paper]

I love providing CAS but it leaves me with near zero options for defending myself, and when 90% of the craft I see are made for dogfighting it can get disheartening. That being said, I love Valkyries more than anything. They control like a helicopter and can get stuck in trees.

Gatecrasher suicide Flash squad is go?

[Ozyton]

They've added scopes to faction-specific pistols.

It only took, what... 3 years?

[zombat]

Sad news, they finally shut down the planetside one server last Friday

Not sure what a "dildar" is, so I don't know why it'd need a nerf.


Unrelated, but apparently you can get Marksman ribbons with AT mines. I've gotten two so far this way.

It's the second infiltrator tool that was added in a while back. Recon darts shoot a dart that makes obvious pulses on the map able to be seen within a hex or so, has limited ammo, reveals people as if they were shooting, and lasts for a short period of time. Dildars are placed like medic shields and basically acts as a wall hack, has unlimited ammo(?), and reveals everyone in a large radius on the map as if they were spotted. It can only be seen on the map pretty much after it's already seen you, and it's much more subtle. Good luck trying to sneak up on anyone ever.

[Akura]

Oh, those things. Every time I try using one, it's quickly found and destroyed... and so am I. Never realized it was overpowered.

[Ozyton]

If you look at the map once in a while you'll probably see the people coming for you long before they know your exact position. Sitting on top of your dildar won't help, unless you're into that kinda thing.

[miauw62]

The portable wallhacks part just really annoys me. As if it wasn't hard enough to feel like you're actually contributing to the game, you can't even flank people most of the time.

[Kanil]

I started playing again after 6 months, and I'm really impressed with how they've managed to make the spawn screen even worse.

Also, it's damn hard to remember how to aim.

[Ozyton]

Probably the thing that improved my aim the most was turning my mouse DPI down from 5000 DPI to about 1000 DPI, and turning in-game sensitivity from 4-something closer to 1.8
Even though my mouse surface is pretty tiny I feel I can aim significantly better now.

Either that or play TR or use TR-like guns.

I wish I had time to play this at prime time like I used to.

[Kanil]

It's more that the Lightning has potato cannons which require both a lot of leading and tons of compensation for bullet drop. Takes a while to get a feel for them again...
