    Ya it was fun and AA works, you just have to you know...work as a team....
  2. Jet Uppercut

    You just need, you know, 80 AA MAXes firing at a single plane to kill it.

    These guys suck at leading too, they are hardly killing anything, by myself with AA max I'm about as efficient as both of them.

    AA works when used in a team, ESF is a 1 man army, thats the problem

    4 AA Maxes + Dedicated Team of Engineers. They still got farmed by Libs.

    You have 10 bursters firing at those aircraft and I don't even see them taking more than a scratch of damage. lol

    Now let's see what happens when 10 organized rocket pod aircraft go against 10 organized dual burster maxes.
    I predict that 2-3 of the ESF will go down in an instant if you focus fire extremely well and have good aim, but then everyone will be dead by the splash damage from a hundred rockets hitting around your platoon.

    Stopped when I saw 4 + AA maxes.

    Why should it take 4 to take down ESFs?
  8. MNO


    It doesn't take 4, but it takes more than one.

    Do you expect to 1v1 every main battle tank you come across as a HA? No.

    Why do you expect different against ESFs..
  9. FireKetchup

    I saw no point in the video where they were farmed by anything. They weren't even close to being dislodged.

    5 AA MAX's with support crew against a small rabble of random aircraft and they're barely holding on and didn't clear the sky. For me it proves two things. AA MAX can be fun (I love it, and your XP is minimal so you have to love doing it - I bet the engineer got more XP than all 5 MAX's combined) and they're not particularly effective unless deployed in groups with constant support available to them.

    Had the enemy pushed a tank or two or co-ordinated a better Gal drop, they would have smashed that MAX barrage quite easily.

    Watch the Killspam, the libs were still having a field day.

    Look again its not a rabble its their warpgate...

    Truthfully, my outfit had 3 AA MAXes on Indar yesterday (me and 2 others) going from crossroads to Xenotech lab, and we cleared the sky. AA MAXes normally don't hit ****, and when 3 guys start hitting everything in the air, they clear it VERY easily.

    At 1:08 a single reaver casually flys over your location, turns right and flys back to the wg with half its health left. During all this time 4 AA MAXES shoot at that guy.

    You could hold your own against some pubbers who kept dripping out of the warpgate one by one with an organized squad killing some of the not so clever ones. Three or four good pilots who attack well coordinated could have smoked that sundy while staying outside of the effective range of the burster and then finished you off one by one.
  16. Baleur

    Why not? I've 1v1 MBT's often. You just gotta hit their rear armor.
    As for ESF, they HAVE no rear armor (so to speak), there is no tactic you can use to stand a chance 1v1.

    Unless the pilot is a fool hovering still.
  17. PoopMaster

    Not to mention double burster MAX.
  18. Phyr

    So you needed at least 4 dual bursters to inconvenience the slow trickle of planes coming out of the warpgate. This is pretty good evidence showing the ineffectiveness of bursters.
  19. Manhattan

    An AA MAX can ONLY kill aircraft (and really dumb infantry.)

    An ESF can, literally and easily, kill every single thing in the game single-handedly.
  20. Eric Smith

    You can fly in Heavy Assault. Don't know if that's what he does, but just saying.
