Lib from recent stream....

[Timealude]

Ok, I hope im not the only one to say this....but did you see you that freakin gun on the lib...OMG soooo much awesomeness cant take it.....
anyways.....
How do you feel about that gun now that we have seen it in action?

[Zulthus]

I kind of feel that such a powerful gun should have a bit more of a restricted firing arc. Other than that it looks great.

[Gogita]

To be honest, it feels slightly OP in its current build. Having high armor and high firepower, in combination with it being in the air is slightly overwhelming :P But ah well, these are just numbers that can be changed in the beta.

[DarkSkyes]

Lib looks awesome. I cannot wait to gun one of those things, should add a thermal imaging also!

Game looks so nice, really really pleased.

[Xaine]

Looks great.

I don't think its too OP, once people learn to focus them down (they're big and slow) they'll be fine.

[captainkapautz]

Gun is fine.

Lib flying over a base almost completely unmolested, even hover in place quite a while, so it can pound anything that moves into tiny red bits isn't a balance problem, that's a players being dumb problem.

[SpcFarlen]

I dont want to make a call yet. People were flying terribly and not too many people were looking to the skies or going AA.

I think I will be really watching the skies for the Liberator of death. That thing looked mean. Better cost allot.

[Jennyboo]

I must say it is a thing for beauty also something to be feared! sexy and deadly !!!

[IMMentat]

At this rate i may end up a liberator, magrider and LA/engy user. That lib looked megafun.

[Graywolves]

I thought it was really awesome, especially seeing the bombardment from the ground.


I don't think it is OP at all. One thing to keep in mind is that the Lib was circling over the base almost smack dab in the middle. Something that will probably not be possible in a 2-way or when the base has had entrenched defenders.

would have loved to see more of the pilot view. but the cannon was great. a well organized team flying one of those can do some real damage.

It's too early to judge balance, this was a demo pushed out for E3, with a bunch of amateurs playing. I guarantee in normal play, Libs won't have the luxury of just hanging around like that, even with high armor. Once people learn to actually fly fighters and more AA vehicles come in (most of the AA came from Maxes, from what I saw, and some missiles; saw very few manning the tank turrets, even fewer fully manning tanks) then gunships will have a lot more to worry about.

[Top Sgt]

gun damage is awesome and not an issue.

i just wish as we discussed on this board before. it behaved more like a spooky gunship.. and the main gun fired to the left of the craft only.. So the pilot had to side strafe the left to give the gunner a good arc shot etc.. just like you do with spooky's and spectre's in real life.

just would balance thing out even more and require a bit of skill.

[NewSith]

I'm in love with the lib, so gonna rape people with it.

As for balance - did you see how fast it went down after it got, you know, just, FIRED AT?
