Here is my review of the new Phoenix. It has a small number of issues and one thing that is personal to me and doubtful it'll mean anything to any of you. This thing is fun and powerful and will require a ton of practice to get really good with. Overall, I suggest it over the other rockets available to the NC.

Apparently hitting "E" will take you out of camera mode early - as the projectile is a vehicle, so you can 'eject' from it. That'll mitigate the problem you highlight regarding vulnerability when shooting at air targets.

I tried out the Phoenix while filming my patch note video. Have to say it's my least favorite of the ESRLs.

I love how the rocket falls out of the launcher if you sprint while reloading.

PG invented a new sport, we call it phoenix baseball. video will be out soon with info on that. Its pretty much its only real use, we've found, outside of ironically farming the hell out of infantry.

So I'm hearing. I tried that before recording that video and it must have been glitched out at the time. I updated the video with an annotation.
