Airplanes is a joke now, lol

They havn't done anything yet, come back and cry in a week once they actually make the changes.

MAXes have ZERO resistance to small arms fire, they just have more HP than standard infantry.

Considering the typical posts you make, you really shouldn't be throwing around those types of insults.

As someone who has pulled both classes, I can say that's completely false. Besides, Bursters can pull AI duty in a pinch.

Queue massive amount of forums posts regarding : Planet of Tanks 2, Tankside 2, and various other versions.

I thought you had to play PS2 to be on the forums, based on your comment it's obvious you don't play.

This thread is funny. All they did was announce a buff to AA and people are saying air is useless a week before the patch. Lol.

Flash and scythe about the same hp

SOE ****** A BALANCE PATCH! MORE NEWS AT 11!

Really? The cert to add "additional" protection against small arms fire to the MAX must have fooled me then.

daw poor flyboys farming their BR and certs with rocketpods have to actually learn to fly now boo hoo ill go play a tune on my tiny violin for you

It clearly did, because it is "additional" to the whopping 0 base small arms resistance all MAX units are blessed with.

It actually does "fly" since bursters cant hit jack squat against infantry. And I have yet to see burster maxes who can target me froma distance of 3 hexes, thats roughly from shadespire farms to Onataha Bio on Amerish.

I'm guessing it was the hit indicator that gave your position away. If it was a Dalton, it'd be less likely that they'd use a few shots and the hit indicator to scout out what's in the area. Also being hit gives away the enemy's relative direction, so they have some sort of idea from that too.

FFS calm down, after all IT IS ONLY BETA!

Infantry can't hit AA MAXes from that distance either. From roughly the distance that infantry can hit an AA MAX, an AA MAX can hit back with Bursters.

Welcome to tankside 2

I only certed in HA and MAX (besides the obvious things like Sundy deployment), so I think I know what can kill a MAX. You can easily a MAX as lone HA, I've done it enough even without decent cover. The Burster can kill Infantry, but the AA MAX tends to concentrate on the sky, which gets the HA the drop on him.
If anyone should get a little buff it's the MAX, the poor sod can't stand his or her ground against anything that is more dangerous than an LA, and even two of those can kill a MAX with enough maneuvering.

Right - spoken like a true forum warrior. Take your sanctimony and shove it up your ***.

I am sorry for confronting you with this fact, but if you have trouble with air, you`re bad. End of story, genius.

<---Like 5000 certs in scythe.

Oh well, luckily my play style doesn't revolve around 1 vehicle. I do hope the new decimater gibs all the maxes were going to see running around with duel burster's now.
