More MAX ideas

[Liteshow]

More ideas for your consideration...

AI - increase damage only (double?)

Let them kill the infantry they're supposed to kill

AV - increase armour only (double?)

Let them be able to stand up to the vehicles they're supposed to destroy

AA - increase Burster projectile speed, decrease Sparrow lock-on time, remove Starfire lock while jumping

Minor tweaks, as the AA maxes are pretty balanced and useful.

Comments?

naa, it would make em too overpowered

[JetRaiden]

yea.

[LimpBIT]

Agreed. Except the sparrow lock on time. They need to make it like it used to be

[BUGGER]

MAXs should be week to the thigns they are suppose to destroy. (ex, AI MAX will get harmed more by gunfire rather than anti-vehicle weapons)

[JetRaiden]

no.

[Onizuka-GTO]

MAXs should be weak to the things they are suppose to destroy. (ex, AI MAX will get harmed more by gunfire rather than anti-vehicle weapons)

:huh:

Erm...wouldn't that make the specificially modified MAX suits to counter a specialised field of operation pointless if it's vunerable to the target it's been designed to kill? :rolleyes:

AI MAX should be MORE resistance to small arms fire because it's built to counter AI so its armour is designed to be more effective against it.
But it should be more vunerable to AV weaponary.

AV Maxes should be more resistance to AV weaponary, but less to small arms fire.

And finally AI should be more resistance to large calibare machineguns, slightly more resistance to AV weaponary then the AV Max but share the same weakness to small Arms fire.

Surely you mean vehicle weaponary as opposed to AV weaponary? But I agree, if anything AI MAXs should be more resiliant to infantry weapons than the AV or AA MAXs.

Personally I feel the DC and quasar MAXs need a boost to their AI killing abilities while the starfire and sparrow need a decrease in their AI killing abilities.

All AV MAXs could do with a better chance of hitting vehicular targets. Think the sparrow could also do with a missile lock tone :)

Ah yes, i meant vehicle weaponary.
As for Starfire and sparrow decresing AI killng abilities.... mmm i think the Starfire is just fine, it take at leased 2 - three clips to kill a rexo which in my opinion is pretty much a good ratio, considering you will be either dead or on the edge of your limit in health and armour if you win.

I'm not sure about Sparrow, im unfamiliar of how well/bad it's AI killing abilities versus AI killing.

[Lartnev]

But if you compare either the Sparrow or the Starfire to the Burster then they're ultimate killing machines in comparison :D

[Rayder]

If you're attempting to kill infantry with the the Burster, you need to get outside and start shooting air.

[Lartnev]

I was on my way, but you see I passed this infil hacking the tower CC.....

Still the point is that the burster is abosuletly abysmal at AI (technically always has been since the flak arms at about 5m) when the other two are average :)

*drool* scatmax will 1-hit agiles and an infil will die twice per shot!

I like the idea of making AI maxs more resistant to small arms. Deci should still 2-hit kill.

[Peacemaker]

The star fire can kill any infantry in one clip.

[Onizuka-GTO]

The star fire can kill any infantry in one clip.

In what? Naked? Agile? Rexo? Naked with Shield? Agile with Shield? Rexo with Shield + Medpacks?

[Eldanesh]

The scatmax can almost kill 3 maxs in one clip... in fact I think scatmax can easily kill any non-vehicle without reload other than a generator.

Oh i really hate scatter maxes.

IMHO i think they are the best AI max around. They kill Infantry like a hot knife though butter.
At leased even with the Quasar, you have a small chance of getting away..... :(

That's just not funny anymore :P

The scattermax is the best AI MAX period. :)

[JetRaiden]

yea, you can rush a tower with one and not even have to aim to hit someone.
