i would have to say I agree. If they release the lodestar and liberator before the AA Buggy, we may see even more populated skies.

Indeed, i'm just glad i won't be on PS during that time due to the lack of $$$.(i've gotta get some RAM before actually paying to play PS

)

remember folks the day the liberator is released is a good day to drop a cert and pick up an AA max.

�io · 2003-06-03, 03:10 PM

It's already a good idea to do that.

Dio, what's your take on the current AA MAXes? Sufficent to stop the reaver swarms? Or are you waiting on the skyguard?

MrVulcan · 2003-06-03, 03:51 PM

Well, IMO the AA maxs need to do about 30% more dmg per shot vs air to be very good.

I do wish that the skyguard was out 1st, but I love bombers so its ok (Im a skeeter piolit so im good

)

**They need to give the skeeter the 35mm guns!!! (or at least 20mm) **

does look like the reaver alot~ amma still get it though~

BlakkyZ8 · 2003-06-03, 06:36 PM

I'm with Mr vulcan.

The Skeeters do need higher calibre guns. If that Bomber is anywhere near as maneaverable as the reavers (first I will cry) than we Skeeter pilots will even catch alot of problems from that 20mm tailgun...
Ahh, we need our little cannons to have a higher damage mod against air!! Thats what the Mosquito is for!

Probably handles like a pig just like the reaver. Flying really should be improved before releasing new flying craft.

What would i use this thing for??? Cleaning crowded Vpads. What else? Maybe AMS zerging, the occasional ANT trashing at the silo, and spamming base entries and courtyards to clear mines. Thats all bread and butter kinda stuff. We'll see whatelse it can do when it comes.

So now the dedicated and hardcore pilots can cert in all three. If the Lib costs 4 thats a total of 11 to have them all. As it is now a really good pilot with both skeeter and reaver can stay in the air almost indefinatly. Add the Lib to that and a pilot can reign terror from above without worrying about his Vspawn timer.

2 or 3 ppl working together that all have the cert aswell as having either reaver, skeeter, or both. Could potentially be an air threat all the time. By simply rotating the pilot/purchaser of the Lib. Then using the reaver or skeeter as a secondary aircraft. All depends on if its any good or not.

The bomber is not the first and only. It is only the first one we have shown details on. The SkyGuard will be implemented with the Liberator.

Direct quote from Sporkfire on the official boards. Looks like it's a non-issue.

WildEagle · 2003-06-03, 08:35 PM

the liberator has 3 ppl in it.

EarlyDawn · 2003-06-03, 08:36 PM

Good spotting.
