So I just picked up the new anti-air anti-vehicle launcher today, due to the 3x SC. So glad that I got it. I can actually scare off tanks and planes now! It's great, you don't even have to hit them, I spent about 10 minutes locking on to different targets and watching them run around trying to get away. I think this is the infantry balance we needed. No more lines of tanks camping on hills, I hope. Plus the reload is super fast. If there is an engie around you can disrupt a tank assault pretty well. If you play HA and haven't gotten this, spend the $5 today and get one.
i got it too and i think its utter ****.. its not good at either.. locking on takes forever, rocketspeed is pathetic and damage is almost horrible.. it wouldnt be so bad if the thing didnt miss half the times because a jet does a small maneuver.. hell ive even missed with them firing at a hovering aircraft.. as far as iam concerned theyre completely broken and ineffective
If you want the jack of all trades rocket launcher expect to be just that. However, I can see this work well in organized teams.
Need to buy station cash and then wait for them to drop in price. 15% wasn't enough to motivate me to buy anything. I need to buy upgrades for what I've got, not buy new weapons.
sure you're right about that.. g2g it seems to be okay, but vs air its utter crap because it misses as soon as a plane moves around a bit.. well except liberators but those take a gazillion rockets anyway..
Even if it does miss aircraft, I still consider it effective if it messes up their run or stops them from just hovering in one spot.
Hmm...I have the Decimator, and I like it. I can shoot tanks, hovering airplanes, and can one-shot infantry at decent ranges if they don't move. I also have the lock on launchers for both air and ground. I don't use the ground one much, I like the Decimator more, but I do use the G2A missile quite a bit to scare off air, and still be able to dumbfire other stuff. I'll have to think about whether I really need yet *another* launcher type, but it sounds like an okay tool, especially if you haven't already bought a bunch of launchers like I have.
Anhilator, to low damage, now ammo to make up for it. It also suffers from the weird bug with G2A missiles just missing for no reason or not doing damage at all. It's horrible, you're better of with the G2G launcher for AT duties if you need a lock on. Or heck, just use the standard launcher.
I will have to trial this launcher today to see for myself because I have seen mixed reviews. There are a lot of bad players out there so it's hard to wade through everything. Wouldn't mind some more input though from others who have used the new launcher.
Bullwinkle has it right. I was just using the basic launcher and I don't have a lot of time to play, so it's nice to not have to invest in 3 different weapons, then have to choose per situation.
I could have told you it would be a garbage launcher... You are really satisfied scaring these things off and not killing them? Ok, that will wear off in another half hour of use, they couldn't make this jack of all trades launcher any good because then it would be OP. The lock on sucks and the damage is pathetic, I would rather use my SKEP or Decimater and when air comes run to a terminal and switch out to my grounder, it isn't a big deal really to do that and I wont spend a dime on the new launcher.
