However, you notice the VS and NC maxes can do it without worry? That's because our AV won't get them at range (lock bug), so they are free to sit on the hillside and spam all they want.

Actually I can pound a base from outside the Pheonix range and do so pretty effectively. Do not forget the Pounder round has only a slight arc now when fired and allows for ALOT more range in it's newer incarnation. The Lancer is a much different beast though and harder to defeat but, you can still use the slight arc to shoot over a grade and out of LOS and defeat the Lancer, it is just more difficult to find you elevation to target. I was standing on a hillside pounding a base CY the other night at a range of 500 meters + and next thing you know there are 4 more Pounders next to me doing the same thing and anything in that CY was either suppressed, not in the CY ( inside the base) or dead. The suppresion fire of a line of Pounders at range was an imppressive thing to see.
