The Light Assault nerf is resented.

I can't!

It's quiet... TOO QUIET! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!?

I fully agree with your position.

It is mainly a sound noise for the people that use it. On the gameplay side it was due, long due.
Mobility must have a price, and the price is "BANG! phewwww phewwww phewwww"

I'm liking the idea of better faction specific noises for the jump jets,

VS should sound sci-fi of course

NC should be like a muscle man car with racing carburetors

& TR should have a something that redirects all the gas and pressure into a device that when spun wails out very patriotic phrases.

"Death to the traitorous VS"

"Only good NC is a Dead NC"

& the so forth, which to my mind sums up our faction differences nicely.
Doubt I'd ever get sick of listening to it

This would suit the TR better

OYG I've wanted that on my Mossie since day 1
heck yeah I'd have that on my JJs too


people always say but what if your trying to stealth, I ain't into back door shenanigans. My TR approach has always been to punch you in the face and explain why I'm punching you in the face

[psijaka]

I bet some pilots would spend SC on a Stuka siren; probably regarded as politically incorrect though

And agreed; there's a time for stealth and there's a class for stealth too, but LA is about rushing (the clue is in the name)

Aircraft don't do politics.

All I see the JJ Noise is another tool when you think about it. If the enterprising player is listening for you, trick him with your JJ and hit em from another angle. There is only so long you can be stealthy for before they know you are around murdering their friends.

Often it is just as stealthy to just run into pack of enemies. There is great chance that nobody shoots you. LA could as well have a "ALERT ALERT LA FLYING HERE" sound with all kinds of blinking lights attached to him/her and there would still be a chance to be stealthy.

Why?

And the last comment quoted is simply untrue; LA + C4 is excellent for taking out that hidden Sunderer, can really rip the heart out of an attack.

Obviously you don't even play the class. 2xC4 will not destroy a sunderer that has full health.

So congratulations. You huffed your ass all the way over there and managed to *almost* do what a heavy assault or an engineer with a mana turret could do from 200 meters away. And that's assuming you don't just get shot by someone spawning from the sundy as you approach, which is what happens about 50% of the time.

C4 + ubgl = dead sunderer

LA RUL3!

Most of the time that I pull LA it is to destroy Sunderers, and whilst 2xC4 will not destroy a full health Sunderer on it's own, it will get one down to perilously low health and I get the crit assist. Or someone will have already damaged it, and my C4 finishes it off. Job done either way; attack crippled.

This is a team game you know.
