Is C-4 really the answer?

Do you happen to own one or more of these characters:


If so, please enlighten us with your expert opinions!

c4 is fine


coming from a tanker

Why on earth do you think i own any of those characters?
You got the part about me being an expert right thou.

Because then I'm useless? The same argument Aircraft make from having to run away from fights. It's a poorly balanced way of handling a situation. It's not fun, at all.

Not to mention the amount of effort and resources is grossly in his favor. It takes virtually no skill or effort to fly over me, bail out either once I've almost killed his craft, or before I see it, and bomb me in a way that there's no way I can retaliate.

OP you have to understand. The Devs and SOE appealed to not only PS1 vets but also to the lowest common denominator. You have your CoD/BF3 arena shooter players in here as well.

And once you appeal to the lowest common denominator... you are stuck with them. As well as their hilarious concept of balance.

I think you already know the answer to that question. Hint: look at the names of the characters.

You give yourself too much credit.

How are you being useless? He has to be directly above you, or rubbing his crouch on you. Every vehicle is faster than infantry, avoiding him on the ground should be stupid easy, unless you're stupid.

How can you even claim that getting an esf, finding you, bailing, surviving the bail, dropping C4, and then surviving long enough to detonate, takes no effort? YOU'RE IN A TANK, the fight is in your favor the entire time.

C4 users aren't invisible, and show up on radar, so you definitely can see and react to them. Literally the only C4 complaint which has ever sounded remotely valid to me were ejecting C4 LAs from an aircraft since that's the only C4 users who is genuinely quite difficult to defend against. (It's hard to tell if I've ever died to this tactic though, since the majority of C4 deaths just feel like outright mistakes (or more often: a calculated risk which eventually results in having to pay the price for my aggression) where I can tell someone used cover along one of my flanks to sneak up and destroy me.)

As a vehicle/MAX I'm so ridiculously superior to infantry that I have absolutely no problem letting infantry one-shot me when someone manages to get into melee range to use C4.

Wait wat?
I'm pretty sure you called me an expert, whats with the me giving myself too much credit now?

i still have to see a ESF C4 fairy.
why should i waste so many ressources, time and effort when i can just use the nearest jumppad to slingshot me right ontop of any tank within reach and repeat that every couple of seconds (depending on distance from spawnpoint to jumppad)

it's called sarcasm. many people consider it to be quite useful in day to day social life.
it's also a life saving skill in the dangerous battles of forumside

And that LA with the magic jump pads didn't use time, effort, and resources to attack you?

Nope
I AM that Light Assault
just complaining about semantics

So you're saying the 2-3 minutes it takes to get to the vehicle, undetected, doesn't take time or effort? And C4 doesn't use resources either, apparently.

Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

10-20 seconds, depending on the walking distance.
especially nice at biolabs, howlingpass, scarred mesa or valley storage yard.
i never claimed it wouldn't take some time, ressources and effort, there is nothing else i do to farm vehicles.
i just said that ESF C4 takes a ridicilous amount more.

You're right, it does take a ridiculous amount of time and resources just to kill 1 tank this way. Buff C4.

spoken like a true Light Assault

Jesus is the answer.

"Who the **** just C4'd me?!" is the question.

"Welp, I've just used my 2 C4. No point in using my gun, because I single handedly took out 60% of the enemy forces with 2 bricks. Riiiiiiight. It's totally that effective."

You have no clue, do you? This is exactly what's happening... -.- As for the rest here insisting all I read is LA/C4 fans going WOLOLO...

I laughed. A lot. Thank you so much for sharing this!
