View Full Version : Flail Stealth Buff

As usual, I may have just missed it, but I notice Flails have 100 ammo now and more armor (or so it seems).

If anyone doubts that this is one of the best vehicles in the game, that person is clearly not a CC owner.

Flail owns so hard. Nothing like killing a turret in 2 shots, and anything within 10 meters of it.

You really should try it. Just get on an angle on a hill, deploy, and you can hit things even if they are close to you.

If you're lucky enough to have a laze-spotter working with you, you're gonna pummel your opponents into the dust.

Hopefully I get CC for christmas and I can test out the Flail and the Router.

You'll love it. CC may not be overtly awesome, but if you're a real PlanetSide hero, it will give you a huge number of new ways to defeat your enemies.

As for the schmuck that gave CC a 2/10: log on and eat plasma, you dirty ho'.

Sorry, I guess I'm a little bitter. At least I'm part of the best internet gaming experience in history. Loyalty Until Death!

I'm thinking about getting it eventually, but its not high on my list because of the fact that you don't get very much with it...I wouldnt mind using the flail though. The rise in flail use has been phoenomenal. I keep getting killed by them all the time. Rbstr u can use the laze pointer without cc, just to let you know...

Take this simple test...

Question 1: Have you played PlanetSide more than 10 hours in your lifetime?

Question 2: Do you like to kill your enemies?

Question 3: Do you buy a soda every day?

If you said yes to any of these questions, you can justify the cost of Core Combat. Not only will you be able to access the Flail, Spiker, Router, caverns, etc., but you will be increasing the cool-factor for everyone else who bought the expansion.

My advice is to give Core Combat to yourself and your friends as a holiday gift. Not only will women find you irresistable, but you will glorify your empire and PlanetSide in general.

Man, I should be a salesman.

Happy holidays, everyone.

Salesman or drug addict? You decide.

Most salesmen are both. In my last sales job, my boss used coke and was sleeping with the same girl I was (he's 50+, she was 26, and I'm 22 - I found all this out a few days after quitting that job...).

Core Combat has yet to prove that it is worth the $30 regardless of what weapons you can use (and you will not use them often).

Flail needs to be nerfed, then nerfed some more. Easily the most annoying thing in the game not to mention the least skilled weapon.

The decimator is now a one shot kill weapon against maxs. Whats that all about? I used to be able to take 3 with personal shield. Now i go from full health and armour pluss high shield to death in a single rocket.

I'll second that. The Flail is lameness personified. I have CC and the caverns are almost always empty or have less than 6 enemies in them even if linked to 3 pop locked continents. Also, then caverns are the home of lame ass deployable placements... take a zip line to a small ledge with a doorway and get creamed by a spitfire and a mine at the door's entrance. The ledge is small enough that if you kill the spitfire it's explosion kills you anyway... what a joke.

The caverns look cool though and you can tell a lot of work was put into them... it's a shame the implimentation fell short...

TeraHertz: It still takes 2 Decimators to kill a MAX, like always...

Or 3 to kill me.
Never mind, I'm told there is a one shot kill bug on maxs.
