Err...no. I don't think the Lasher needs a big nerf, but the MCG and JH are both better? I've been doing a lot of Lasher defending, but I've been realistic in it. Every time a VS poster shows up reality is getting thrown out the window. I ran around with my alt and purposely didn't use tactics with the Lasher. I was absolutely destroying the other army. I was regularly getting 4-5 kills per death, and that was using only 1 of 2 tactics. Stand still and fire, or run at the enemy and fire.

us TR have got hit with recent nerfs quite a bit latly if you ask me we got are MAXs totally downgraded terrible sure this was a while ago but i say,--Lest we forget-- this also made my strategy guide terribly out of date

if you ask me we got are MAXs totally downgraded

first of all, OUR, not are. second...pounders and DCs rule...pounder does the most damage per shot of any of the AI maxes, and it has an awesome RoF when clamped down, and it has the ability to do indirect fire, and do good damage to both vehicles and infantry. Dual cycler can also do good damage to both vehicles and infantry, and can tear almost anything up when clamped down. Oh yea, you really got downgraded...

Well I would loot people's corpses more but all I can use is standard assalt... The jackhammer is instant kill point blank in secondary mode. I think all three HA weapons work just fine. NC are supposed to have more damage dealing weapons. Tr chain gun is good for multiple targets and drilling through people. And the VS is supposed to be more versitle, they're using strong alien technology, they're supposed to have some sort of advantage. All three should be good at something and each have different strong parts to them.

THANK YOU FINALLY, SOMEONE ELSE THAT I CAN AGREE WITH . . .

I actually like it a bit that Lashers are a bit over powered sometimes.

That forces people to use tactics instead of brute force to get them taken care of and circumvented.

Just think in real life, whatever troops happened to be fighting, one weapon system was generally more powerful than another, look at WWII for example.

The American Sherman tanks vs the German Tiger tanks at the Battle of the Bulge.

The Tigers were shredding the Shermans all over the place, so the American tank crews had to adopt new strategies to combat against the Tigers effectively.

It is all in strategy and tactics at somepoint. Brute force will only get you so far.

At least thats my opinion on the matter.
