AA infantry

Jakal · 2003-03-15, 05:09 PM

Seems to me like infantry fall a bit short on the anti air side of thigs. I know the Maxes have aa guns but what about us poor mud sloggers? I dont think a phoniex can peg a mosquito can it?
I guess the lancer could probably bring down a plane. And the tr anti tank (i forget what its called) might too b/c it locks on. Will nc infantry even stand a chance against a reaver or mousquito? sounds kind of unbalnced.

yes, they will. there is a dumb fire option for missles from the phoenix, or if you have enough cover, get them with a fly-by-wire...

ya, it will probably work good with dumbfire
And how does AP ammo work on aircrafts? Coz they should work as with the vehicles, right?

Depends on what you mean, a lone infantry dude isn't suposse to bring down vehicles. A lone max could with some luck but if you want a med armor to take down a mosquito then make sure he has a squad behind him.

If every grunt could bring down a plane than planes would suck bad.

Dio's got a point. Lets just hope the projectiles fly fast enough to stand a chance of hitting something mid-air.

Well PS is a "twitch" or skill game, if you can't hit the galaxy with your rocklet than that's your problem not the weapon. Pratice or use a seeker weapon.

Or go Vanu and use the Lancer.

These Vanus dont seem to be having too much trouble with whatever this flying vehicle is. Take a look at how much vehicle armor they've got left

Heh, the lancer will indeed be a mighty weapon.

Yeah...noticed they have full afterburner power though, I'd suggest they use it to get the hell out of there!!

Lancer GOOD! *smack* Owww...

The vehicle's a Skeeter. Look bottom right corner. Weapons selection shows a single chaingun. That, and the Skeeter is the most likely to have an afterburner.
