Sniper Vs. MAX

[Ruthless]

in running mode, maxes have very limited turning capabilities and may not fire.(i think)

I saw a program on the Discovery channel on explosives. In it, they had a cone like explosive that inverts a copper cone into a spikish-rod that pierced through two feet of armor plating. Irrelevant, but i guess it relates to the whole hollow-spike thingy.

I don't know about Lancer being the best AV weapon. Yes, it might be fast, but you actually have to aim and have a chance of missing. The Striker has the ability to lock-on, and the Phoenix can be self guided, which in my opinion is much better then the Lancer.

But then ur also just an ignorant TR who dont know jack shit about the prospects of laser technology

But seriusly, if the lancer is instant hit, or near instant hit, id say its much better than that phoenix thingy... U fire, then u fly the missile and automaticly become a sitting duck

[Incompetent]

You've also almost certainly got a MASSIVE cone of fire on that thing, so unless the idiot is standing still, youre accuracy isn't worth shit, unlike the Striker, which will redirect by itself or the pheonix which will redirect manually

I brand this thread as dead. Shut up, everyone knows the phoenix sucks alone because it makes the player a sitting duck, everyone knows the vanu lancer is better then a striker for a skilled player because it's instant hit (this may not be true, because no one knows damage ratios), and everyone knows that sniper rifles arent going to do shit against maxes, end of thread.

What makes u think u will get a massive CoF???

Why should it be any different from other weapons???

Ohhh yes, rigth, its anti viechle so well make it so it cant hit shit, rigth??? WRONG!!! If it is better than the other weapons, it will be balanced out with less damage, and/or slower RoF...

Random, what did I just say? Shut the fuck up, he's not talking about accuracy while standing still. He's saying that with a phoenix or a striker you can launch while running and still be accurate due to the auto aim and manually guiding, but with the lancer while running you have a massive cone of fire. Now everyone shut the fuck up. ^^ Thank you, have a nice day, I love you all!

The Lancer is most definately a long-range intended weapon, by all signs. No need to run in any situation that you'd be firing it in.

Lancer is not insta hit..... it's does however have the second best traveltime in the game

When did I ever say you had to run? The other guy claimed if you try to stand still and aim you're a sitting duck.

[NeoTassadar]

That's not what the was for.
Edit: Wasn't refering to you with the rest.

With the the phoenix, you don't have to have a direct line of sight to your target. Plus, I read post by a certain beta tester breaking the NDA who was chased down in his Mosquito by a Phoenix, which was enough to kill him. (His skeeter was probably already damged tho)

Sounds better than a Lancer any day.

You'd be firing for a while. Let's hope the MAX dosen't track your bullet trail beforehand...
