Forgot to Cross-Post it to here for y'all's amusement. https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/6gvcnr/great_holy_war_against_sensor_shield_users/
I never really used the Valkyrie much due to its lack of any defining features, didn't know about that 200m sensor strength though. Any thoughts I had about pulling sensors was dismissed when they added these implants, since it has been now rendered unreliable.
Sensor Valk is nice, but too fragile. I have swapped to sensor ANT. Twice less radius, but much sturdier and you can just man the gun and provide fire support. Also works like a charm if you're medic, so nearby troops are healing, giving extra exp.
don't forget you aren't sniper bait like in a scout radar flash that's the main reason when i pull for scout radar i use an ANT. as for the reddit post sensor shield isn't a new implant, it's a new old implant with different upgrade mechanics.
Scout radar Vult? Maybe we can talk about this when Valkyries stop being gimmicks, definition of redundant and a poor man's Galaxy, because I don't think Valks can be used in any real unique way other than a cheap throw-away transport with ejection seat built-in.
Good, glad the radar reliance 'pros' are finding things difficult. We had the same problems when thermal was 'adjusted' crying because now people have to actualy look for targets, not just play follow the dot on the radar. It was glorious for a few days when radar was broken completely. SA =/= staring at a minimap.
what if hp stood same but armor only vulnerable to AV weaponry and/or it gets turbo? other than that yes it simply is a small transport with rumbleseats
That would be nice. I'd also be really happy if I could place MANA AI turrets on the rumble seats and use them, but I don't know if that's possible.
manaturets on valk would be too op .. you could practicaly mow down infantry and tanks like the thing would be a ragtag liberator with the added benifit of being repairable from the rumbleseat .. that's too many benefits .. and i have seen engineer squads fighting off esf's squadrons by merely keeping their valk alive
