I like heavy with C4 better, that way I don't have to switch to a nearly useless class just to use it.

I like Light Assaults, it reminds me of skeet shooting...

Not really seeing this as an issue when there is so much else going on. Also rock, paper, scissors,.......there is always an anwser if you are willing to change your behaviors to overcome the challenge.

Look up into the sky and shoot the LA, it's simple as that. I almost never get killed by C4.

LA, shotgun, C4 is by far the deadliest most efficient class in the game. I feel sorry for the guys on Waterson that I kill, because it's not nearly as simple as 'look up'. Once the shotgun is nerfed and the Carbines have a purpose again I think the LA's will end up sitting back more, making C4 slightly less used. The shotgun nerf hopefully fixes some of it, if not the LA will need a nerf when they do the balance pass of the LA.

I have the auraxium medal with my c4, pump shotty, and auto shotty. And my one SMG, soon to be second SMG if they do nerf the shotguns enough.

Close Range Light Assault is really powerful.

Yea, light assault are probably the most irritating class for me to go against. In CQC they fly up and around thing with their shotgun trained on you the entire time. If I manage to kill the LA it does give me a satisfying feeling.

I was killed once by C4 Jeeehad Jeeep. That was pretty fun because I saw it approaching to my Vanguagrd and even managed to lend the direct hit on him though didn't kill him but he killed me instead.

I will admit LA is alot of fun, I dropped C4 next to a sundy the other day and got like 17 kills. Two blocks of C4 wont take down a sundy but will get it smoking, and C4 only works on the back of tanks, if you put it on the front or sides it wont take it out. I think C4 is ok, not to op, but I cant see why they should nerf it or anything. But Ill have to disagree with you on this one.

Light assault just flies too slow to be an issue. Especially given the cumbersome deployment mechanic that gets you killed before you detonate.

There is one thing that's wrong tho and that is the ability to fly a single EsF into a major aa covered area, hit a tank with a bunch of rockets and if you are about to die to aa, bail and drop c4 to finish the kill, we need pilot kits to stop that.

No pilot class, just a revamp of the resource system to make vehicles valueable assets again.
