Hating the Liberators...

    As a MBT driver, I hate these skyfarmers.

    Seriously, you can't hide from them, you can't outrun them and when they fire, you can't fight back.

    At least, against a Lolpoder, there are still a few options left, but against a Lib, it's only death.

    Annoying!

    There is something you can do. Stay near to friendly AA...Libs MELT against any sort of coordinated AA, and to most forms of uncoordinated AA to boot.

    You need Skyguards and preferably an AA Ammo Sundy when you roll out. Tanking solo is a recipe for disaster.

    but most of the times without taking any real risks.

    In a MBT, either solo or in a zerg, you still take risks.
    And when you fire, something in front is supposed to fire back.

    I can fire back against a lolpoder, I can't against a skyfarmer.

    Liberator requires teamwork. Bad gunner - no kills. Bad pilot - no kills, quick death.
    No risks for liberators? B*tch please. How about ESFs? Or A2A/G2A missiles that lock on faster? Or maybe even other MBTs that can shoot it down with main cannons because Lib is a huge slow moving target in the sky?

    Or you think that you should be omnipotent in MBT? Did you know that you can install G2A weaponry on your MBT? No? Oh yes, it's not powerful enough to kill a Liberator, but at least you can satisfy yourself that at least before dying you caused some damage.

    Liberators are tank killers. It's their role. Deal. With. It.

    You can't but ESFs, Skyguards and AA Sundies can. Your vehicle cannot. It is a teamplay game. You deal with armour, the others deal with air. I can draw it in paint if you want a simpler explanation.

    I personally enjoy killing Liberators with AV turrets. More fun that way :p

    That why it´s so much fun to drive a skyguard. 2+ coordinated Skyguards will make every Liberator regret coming to the area.

    That's because your an idiot and tried to lone wolf it, stick with flak and you'll drive away the baddies.

    Btw, your "to the noob" advices, you can keep them in your *******, I know them, I'm a quite decent tanker, yes I know it's better to stay with AA units around, yes I know lone wolfing in a tank is dangerous, I was just pointing the fact that's there ZERO option for a MBT against a Liberator floating just above you.
  15. Shoza Nakh

    It's like it should be "by design", no point in complaining about it. Killing lone tanks is pretty much everything Liberator useful for.

    I like playing infantry, and as a solo infantry guy i have next to zero chance against a decent tanker:
    - HA? No chance - doesnt have enough rockets
    - LA/medic? C4, great, now the tank just needs to stand still and not look around.
    - inf? lol
    - engi? Tankmines - my best bet! Now i just need the tankers to drive over them, ofc tank mines being huge and you can seem them 100 meters away is a bit of a problem.
    - MAX? Sure, as long as the tanker doesnt shot at me while i very slowly kills his tank.

    We all got problems, its a team based game. If you want to be a Rambo type player, fly an ESF.

    Ohh yea and i do gun in a lib and i take great pleasure in nuking MBT.
