    35 shots from the vortek kills an esf while it around 54 shots with my rotary to kill an esf so uh could u explain how this is balanced? i mean it just doesnt make any sense to me

    It doesn't make sense to me how VS and TR have much stronger AA than NC when they have no applicable detriments for this role. But such is the way of things.

    The TTK is about the same in actuality.

    I bet many Reaver pilots wish they had the most maneuverable ESF.

    I wish my Reaver could maneuver as a Mosquito...

    And before the trolls come trolling, I'm actually flying them both!!

    Maybe if the Reaver wasn't like 25% bigger than every other ESF.

    Reaver can more then keep up with any ESF. Specially in a hover battle.

    so... mosquito is MUCH faster, scythe turns MUCH better. reaver gets to do a LITTLE more damage/clip, but in return has to have the easiest-to-hit frame. while getting shot at by OP strikers and both empire's new abilities for maxes... why are you crying again?

    The mosquito rotary fires faster, but does a bit less damage. That's how its balanced.

    For me its the drop off. Using the scythes hailstorm it seems you have to lead a bit more than with the rotary. Haven't really played with the Vortek much though so can't comment.

    All rotaries are now very deadly. All ESFs benefitted from this change.

    If you spent less time crying and wailing and gnashing your teeth and more time flying you would notice this.

    The Mossie and Scythe pilots in Waterson are doing just fine. Scythes are probably at a tiny disadvantage now thanks to oddly slower velocity. Mossie pilots need to get over it.

    Why is this NOW an issue? Isn't that what the NC has for a perk? Harder hitting weapons?

    OOOOO THAT'S RIGHT!

    It is only a "perk" when it is for you and no one else gets one...

    These "nerf reaver" threads are just making me laugh.

    1 issue that effected all 3 ESF gets fixed and suddenly the Reaver is just "OMGOP111!1!1!!!!".

    Makes me laugh so much.

    Any Reaver pilot who would give up their ESF for either the VS or TR's is out of their mind. The Reaver has obscene advantages over the other ESF's in traits that actually matter when dog fighting.

    Slightly stronger gun for less maneuverability compared to both other esf's. Seems like a fair trade off to me

    The forums have stated the Reaver has been unbalanced for a while now, only the NC (like they argued their Max was fine) think otherwise and even a lot of them agree the Reaver is hands down the best ESF. This h\sas mentioned long before they adjusted the convergence issue and Higby had also stated that the ESF's need better balance (again before the last GU).

    Get your facts straight before posting.

    The entire Reaver balance is placed on two guns and vertical thrust. It is almost becoming a valid alternative to a Scythe or Mossy. However, you feel the need to come in here and whine about it. I have no sympathy what-so-ever.

    Says the man with no facts other than anecdotal evidence. "The forums have stated" does not equal fact.
    I do not complain about the Reaver, because i think its fun to fly. But if you had bothered to look up the facts, you would see that the Reaver underperforms in every category concerning score and kills.
