[Suggestion] Allow the Ranger to aim Downwards.

That would make it more useful & less of an embarrassment.

So it can tickle a wider range of targets?

I wouldn't mind if the Walker and Ranger had a wider range of elevations. Could make it so that the Max CoF of the weapon is tied to its current elevation angle - the higher above 0 the weapon is, the tighter the cone, the further below 0 the weapon is, the wider the cone - so as to reinforce its use as an AA, not AI weapon, without limiting it from application in this role.

Pretty much.

IIRC Ranger is pure AA in that it sprays rounds relatively inaccurately that bracket a target and then the ones that come close enough explode on proximity? Can't see the application of that against ground targets when you've got Basilisks and Kobalts and Furies and sh*t like that. And the Walker will hit ground targets well enough when they are at a slightly higher elevation, like on a hillside.

It will give the weapon so more purpose.

i'd love it if walkers had lower angles too, finally a viable upgrade for a long ranged battlebus!
i guess DBG are too afraid that it'd be too versatile (like Burster was when they could damage tanks)

Why not the Walker too?

Why did they nerf the burster so it couldn't damage vehicles?

They should have kepted it.

EDIT: double post

Baby steps.

Id say this is one you could jump on

The only issue i see is the kobalt being much less useful by comparison

not to mention the times my sundy is on a hill all weird and i cant aim at the aircraft flying by..
+10

noone was using anything else, they were semi-viable AI, basilisk-like AV and great AA.
if we could aim walkers lower i imagine the same would happer, good AA, good AI, decent AV,
noone would use furys/basilisks anymore

Do you, like, intentionally post bad ideas?

You're on a streak at this point.

Making the Ranger be more useful is certainly not a bad idea.


Being salty as you are,definitely is.

How would it make the Ranger more useful?

In every single situation where your shooting something other than a ESF you would be better off jumping out and taking the target on has Infantry.

The Walker can defend a Harasser pretty well against ground vehicles. Once you get a bit of distance between your self and attacker.

If they aimed lower on a Sundie it would be like you said, there would be no reason to use anything other than Walkers.

Who would win?

Spitfire or Ranger

Neither.
