Can we talk about the power of HA class?

QFT. After all PS2 is not a mere TDM. Support classes are vital.
In my personal opinion Engis are the most versatile class in the game right now.

Unlimited ammo for Rocket Launchers that can be fired from basically everywhere at literally any time? Really bad idea.

The way I see it, HA is the main do-it-all foot soldier and is the main battle class.
LA and Infiltrator are more fit for solo harasser style hit-n-run gameplay.
Medics and Engineers are mostly support hybrids with some AV capabilities and better self-sustainability.

I don't mind HA being a jack of all trades since it still relies on support classes to remain operational. But the Engineer getting a AV turret was IMO a mistake. The Engineer class is already very, almost too versatile and doesn't at all rely on other players like the other classes do if you go soloing.

There is no problem anybody can play any class at any time. IMO the best anti infantry is a LA I carry a much higher K/D with LA then I do HA. People always saying More HA then anything else I call ******** on that there are just as many if not more LA running around with shotguns in any base you will be fighting for not to mention they can kill vehicles much faster and easier then any other class when using C4. Stop the ******* whine for the love of god.

LA and Infil mitigate damage by picking their time and place of engagement. Additionally I can mitigate just as much if not more damage with my mobility as a LA then I can with my HA shield which absorbs like two bullets.

HAs can win through numbers. LAs can win through tactics.

Many times I've spawned HA, found the sunderer, then won the battle with my jetpack and C4. Can't do that with a HA.

yes but if you take into account the ******** amount of fire a single HA can dish to a squad it makes you think

lmfao Ha doesnt outclass all the other classes engineer is better

Sounds pretty close to the AV MANA Turret, to me. Just make the damn pack not resupply rockets

I wish the other classes were more capable of combined arms.....
Not devastator level combined arms.


Just, deterrence level combined arms.

If I were trying to powergame planetside 2, the best squad composition would be 11 medics and 1 engineer unless it was absolutely necessary to expose the squad to vehicle fire, in which case half the medics would go HA.

A lot of people forget that the full name for the medic class is "Combat Medic" and they have some of the best infantry weapons in the game.

My thoughts on this from a while back:

The TR's BEST line of weapons is its rifles.

Remember the poll of enemy weapons people fear or respect? The TRV/TAR were the TR guns.
