hornet missles are too powerful against tanks.

You mean like...the sky? Perhaps you would prefer us to fly in enclosed tubes.

emerald has a lack of AA. in zergs? no. everywhere else? completely.

typically one source of AA focuses on single aircraft.

Fleech, there is a lack of (fill in the blank) wherever there isn't a zerg. That's why it is a zerg.

Wow.

Things tanks are vulnerable against: C4 and Tankmines, other tanks / AV turret. Oh wow, look at that. There's nothing left!
Oh wait! ESFs of course!

As far as never seeing a hovering ESF, you obviously never look at the sky! Look at Mustang/Banshee/PPA gunners.

oh and i forgot

those godamn raven missiles that make me **** my pants every time i see them.

I think you maybe need more practice in your tank. Just keep at it.

only if they don't know what they are doing. i will go for the kill if i am dealing with only one or two aircraft, any more than that and i fire until they turn away and then i pick the next target, because anything else results in lots of unnecessary damage to my skyguard, meaning i am a softer target when tanks or liberators show up.

the majority of them don't know what they're doing. they usually only play AA to attempt to get some relief from the constant ground pounding, not because they enjoy it.

incompetence does not make for a sufficient argument in my book.

i think you maybe need less alternate accounts.

I enjoy it quite a bit, speak for yourself.

regardless its still a huge factor. the majority of people manning AA devices that aren't lockons do it for 30 seconds tops and do it rather poorly.

I enjoy skyguarding, what this you're on about?

Please excuse my caps for a moment....

TANKS CAN USE AN AA GUN FOR A REASON!!!!!

That's what goes through my head when I see people complaining about 1 ESF killing their tanks manned by two people. This isn't an overpowered issue, it's a specialization one. Something people on here like to ignore.

I am calling for MOD 04 to close this thread. The sheer amount of disinformation being spread is horrifying. Fleech has to be some sort of politician IRL. I call for his resignation from Forumside with this most blatant of lies!

It's nowhere near close.
You should go try it in game. Heck, compare it to the magrider gun arch (skyguard has the best, magrider the worst).

Hornets are specifically AV weapons, and you are a vehicle. Plan accordingly if they are becoming your main cause of death. If you are dying to ESFs in the middle of an AA nest then you are showing them your tailpipe or you are radically outnumbered. You should have no trouble staying alive against an ESF if you keep your nose facing them and you stay near AA.

I think what a lot of people forget in this thread is that the Magrider is not easily able to maintain situational awareness like other tanks.

It has the combination of a locked camera rotation and significantly lower max vertical camera angle compared to other tanks.
