TR air dominance getting out of hand (Connery)
|
|
I don't want to only have to fly my mossy, but unfortunately things have pretty much become that way on Connery. Or rather I can fly as a lone wolf A2A predator using overpowered A2Am with my mossy only; this is not a viable playstyle for my sythe or reaver (even if I shed A2Am and go for AB tanks). Every time I log in TR skys are choked with mosquitos, and flying over TR space guarantees continual striker locks making it next to impossible to enter TR territory. During prime time it seems there are more mosquitos on Indar then sythes and mossys combined, add this to the effect of strikers and it's just completely broken.
This isn't a L2P issue, I recently hit 40K SPH, unboosted durring regular XP earnings (not double XP); no one who's planning to respond with that standard L2P could achieve that in an ESF. I'm not the best, metalfig is certainly better then me, and there are many players (who even post on here) who are probably better then I am in an ESF (and certainly have better aim), but I am one of the top ESF pilots on Connery and I'm probably one of the best ESF pilots at all 3 ESFs as most of the really great ESF pilots focus on one of the ESFs and I fly all 3 quite a bit.
The problem isn't the mosquito either, the mossy is fine, the ESF balance is fine. The problem is the combination of TR ground AA being outright superior to the other factions (TR lockdown + the Vulcan + the Striker -- the NC and VS don't have anything that compares to any of those singularly, the fact TR get those three things combined is way over the top). The ground AA advantage TR has snowballs things, making more mossys in the air, and at a certain point the air game just becomes only about numbers. With how things work TR always has the numbers in terms of ESFs, and this just snowballs; meaning more VS and NC ESFs die compared to TR mossys, leaving more mossys in the air to create a vicious positive feedback loop.
This has been a growing problem but it's gotten completely out of hand the last couple of weeks. Right now there is not even the appearance of balance in the air game on Connery. TR has complete and utter dominance and it's really broken. I love flying my mosquito, but I'd also really like to be able to fly my sythe again.
