Lancer makes zero sense....

[Dodgy Commando]

I've still got to give it a go, but I get the impression people were expecting a bit too much from the Lancer. I don't think its supposed to be a sniper, even if it can presumably play such a role (clearly not ideal according to first reports).

Compared to a decimator or the default HA launchers, on the same distance to target, have you compared TTK?

I personally don't enjoy trying to hit tanks with those at anywhere beyond close range (l2p or whatever is not the point, so don't bother). I'd be willing to take damage loss to hit on similar distances more reliably.

Now how much of a damage loss is another question which I cannot comment atm.
