MAX certs

[psijaka]

I've been spending SC and certs on my MAX.

- My first "must have" was a left arm Burster for AA duty. I say "duty" as it is out of a sense of duty that I run dual bursters; not a great deal fo fun to be had in this role any longer. But it is important to be able to run with this when it is necessary to drive off enemy fighters.

- After the recent "triple SC" day I invested in a left arm Falcon, which is the NC specific anti vehicle grenade launcher. This to date is the best thing that I have spent SC on; Dual Falcons in the right situation, and especially with a height advantage, can be devastating against both infantry and armour, especially deployed Sunderers.

The drawback to Dual Falcons is that they are not so good against infantry at close range due to the slow fire rate. A direct hit is deadly, but if you miss then you're in trouble. It is possible to "snipe" medium range stationary infantry though, once you get a feel for the projectile drop.

As for Certs:

I have certed the regenerative armor, as I play solo, but if you can rely upon a friendly Engi to keep you in top shape, then Flak Armor is the "must have". The kinetic armour damage reduction percentages seem a bit lame.

For solo Dual Burster duty the extra ammo cannister is useful to have, but again if you can get resupplied reliably, then the Charge ability is better; great to be able to get to shelter quickly if you get some rocket pods coming your way. Extended mags for the bursters would be nice too, but at this stage I have better things to spend 500 + 500 certs on!
