Strikers are OP against air.

Same concept here Sunrock. So again I ask you to actually go fly for another faction before you make another post so you may educate yourself. Your continuous one sided responses aren't making your point.

SerethiX check out this insightful post which also Nouxous originally pointed out about multiple forms of damage. The thing is they are just so damn good at both AA and AV. Your point about experienced flyers learning moves? If there is just one guy it's easy to gank him with the turbo laser but with any more you have to fly away which is a massive plus for TR area denial. Sure you can use terrain to help but you gotta remember the striker users play smart too using terrain to get a better LOS.

My idea about the firing rockets at different ranges should be taken with a pinch of salt ( so maybe 5 missiles at 100m range and +50m etc)


I also believe the striker helps TR in other ways too. If they had to deal with strikers hitting them then using flares in tanks or esf would be a given. It would be interesting to see a stat showing how many TR vehicles use flares compared to their VS and NC counterparts.
