What is the best weapon(s) for AA? or atleast area denial

[Fpsnoob]

Hi everyone!

I've been playing playing this game for 1 month and so far, I LOVE IT
Aside from a couple of weapon things, I've found that this game is mostly pretty balanced

except....

Spawn camping.... Literally my most hated thing in the game
The worse is LOLpods campers, no skills flyers that sit at entrances to bomb the ever loving crap out of infantry that dare to try to turn the tide

Which brings up my question, what is the best weapon to deal with these yahoos? As I'm not quite good enough with the default S1 to take them down

AA launcher? Dual bursters?

I don't even care if all it doesn't net me that many kills, I just want them out of the way so that I can actually LEAVE the spawn building in peace

Thanks in advance for the input guys

Dual busters for sure. AA launchers are easily defeated but skilled flying and decoy flares, if its just you.

Dual bursters or Walker wagons keep the air nice and clear.

If you reach the point where you are spawncamped, it is time to spawn somewhere else and pull a sundy if you want to "turn the tide."

Disregarding Neutral's helpful analysis, Dual Bursters is what you want.

Shoulder fired rockets are great for killing bad pilots and chasing away weak pilots.

Against good pilots you need dual bursters or skygaurds are needed against good pilots.

Guys, the OP is Vanu. Buy a Lancer. That'll scare em off good if they are just spawn camping.

Bring another ESF from your warp gate to chase them off or dual bursters

Yeah, Lancers are the ultimate air-combat cannons.

But in all seriousness, a dual burster will get the job done the quickest.

Ah that's a good idea, I've never thought of that

Should I just rapid fire into them with the lancer?

Single shot until you get the lead right once you get that you can charge shot all day and make most pilots bail.

Single-shotting into em will probably get em to bug out, but you'd be better off surprising them with a charge-shot then finishing them, if they stay around, with some singles. Train yourself on singles of course, the lead is the same for all shots.

When harrasers come out I'm hoping the Skyguard will get some love. A Harraser toting around a Burster MAX will be infinitely more effective than it anyhow.

The weapon you need for what you want is called the Phoenix.
You can fire it from inside the spawn room and one hit kill enemy ESF.
No one dares to hover near a NC spawn building, while I do it a lot against the VS.
Today I was on a great kill streak on Esamir, but the NC were taking the base adjacent to the TR warp gate, I went there, found the enemy sunderer, started circle around with the underbelly engine, so I stay in motion while I fire, so almost all small fire and unguided missiles miss me, and a Phoenix user hit me, like I allways say, if you are hit by and unguided rocket and die, I am ok with that, but when it happen to the Phoenix, I really want to rage quit the game.

Dual bursters have only one concpet to master, lead your target, once you can judge by eye how fast the plane is moving vs how far ahead you need to shoot, you can even make planes streaking by fast your bitch

3 people in a single harraser vs 3 people in skyguards for AA defense? I'll go with three people in skyguards.

As the AA max in the Har will have limited field of view to boot and will need to get in and out constantly.
