What is the most overpowered 'thing' in the game??

I'm curious what others think is the most overpowered aspect of the game right now.

Please post your top 2 thing, in order of importance.

My list:

M30 Mustang AH (Air Hammer)
NC AI Max (Scatter/Hacksaw)

I'm primarily a Lib pilot so the Air Hammer makes me really angry because it's so ridiculously overpowered against Aircraft. The NC AI Max we all know is pretty ridiculous. I won't even go into a Bio Lab or Tower if NC owns it. I refuse to feed them kills.

Players and creativity.

You already posted pretty much what I would've posted. Scatmax issue is maybe not as much as their power against infantry, but the fact how quickly they kill other maxes as well.

Fucking.... trees.....

I'd say Prowlers and Haxsaws. Haxsaws only because our MAX weapons are shit.

I agree that the scattermax is overpowered in areas where it can make full use of its limited range. But that's about as far as my "what's overpowered" knowledge goes, considering I haven't played the game in some time

This of course doesn't take into consideration the bad game design that makes vehicles of all kinds overpowered against infantry, heh.

Me, in my skyguard

NC MAX shotguns, AA MAX bursters, the Orion (but it's fine really, it's just a lot better then the other HA default LMGs). The prowler, but it's getting nerfed I believe (if it wasn't already). TR carbines. Mosquito engine noise (too quite compared to the other ESFs).

Vanguard is perfect. Skygaurd still seems a bit underwhelming, but AA MAXes would need to be brought in line before it could be buffed.

That's it.

The Sunderer is definitely the most overpowered unit in the game.

It has the speed of a Lightning, better armor than an MBT, can be armed to be effective against all targets including air, has an armor upgrade that upgrades all 4 sides more than any of the single side upgrades for tanks do, can seat 12 people, is available at every single base and if all of that wasn't enough also is the only vehicle in the game that can carry GSDs, AMSs, Vehicle Ammo or a Repair Aura.

It's by far the most essential unit in the entire game to get anything done, which is why it gets a free pass on being overpowered. Everyone relies on this one single unit so much that nobody even questions how insanely over the top good this unit actually is.

Some of us do, and have.

Anti-Tank mines. They should do less damage and we should be able to carry more of them. The frisbee nature of them is also a fucking joke.

The ground. Not only is it extremely slippery to make you slide to your death, it's also very bouncy making landing with very low HP somewhat... stressful. Plus, it controls legions of indestructible trees and ammo towers that ambush you when you least expect it.

Slopes and hills. There's too many out there that infantry can not traverse from the 3' high bump to its larger cousins.

good answer. I agree entirely, but like most I just didn't register it.

I agree ..... I'd say the same for grenades too.
