Liberators too strong?

So how can a lib that is way outside of firing range of a max either Vertical or horizantal (1-2 hex's away but points noise up or to the side so gunner can fire into the base) so DAMNED effective? we took gravel pass last night and started taking some air fire so grabed some max's and positioned them all over they cleared the ESF's no problem but the LIBS! there was 2 that were at max cieling just circling raining the pain down which we could scare off for long enough for them to repair and come back. but couldn't kill them so to scare them off we would lose 2-3 infantry every time. but the WORST was there was a few hovering over ZURVAN! a hex away and would just raise the nose or roll to the side and they would fire in from there completely out of range. So at this point we grabed a few A2A scythes which though they fired a full load of missles only got 2 of them but in the proccess got shot down by the 6-7 other liberators.

I'm not sure if the distances you describe is accurate. I been running liberators allot lately so I think I have some experience with them. The thing is that infantry does not render until around 300-350 meters. The distance between two bases on any continent is at it's shortest point max 500 meters, more commonly it's about 600-700 meters. The only thing that renders at 700-800 meters are vehicles. And no you can not kill anything in this game that have not rendered for you.

Also burster maxes Vs Liberators. 4-5 burster maxes should be able to take care of a liberator that is within infantry render distance. If they can't they god damn have to learn to aim.

But yes it can be hard to kill a Libirator that has air speed frame and after burners. I have max air speed and 2 spec into afterburners and I can accelerate from 0 to 225 in 2 sec, making me as faster then a reaver but able to take allot more damage. This making me able to brake off easily when I start to get to low HP.
