    Not sure what you mean by prevailing. The number of users for all three AI ESF weapons are very similar.

    Edit: I take that back, here are the actual numbers for this month:

    4906 - M14 Banshee | Uniques | Daily Average: 1122.65
    4305 - Light PPA | Uniques | Daily Average: 955.82
    4605 - M30 Mustang AH | Uniques | Daily Average: 675.71

    I'm all for weapons twaeking when needed, but I'm against simplyfying all factions unique weapons.
    Personally I had never perceived PPA as a problem: when I play infantry I try to take cover and keep myself away from vehicles.

    So you think Banshee doesnt need tweaking, but PPA did? But TR in avatar and you know whats going on

    LPPA went up only because ground PPA was nerfed to oblivion so people are moving to the next still usable weapon.

    This will happen until every single VS weapon is shooting nerf balls.

    After LPPA (which is the worst effing AI nosegun btw, dunno what peoples problem is with AH, it's great though obviously not as easy to use as Banshee) gets nerfed, it'll be the Lasher (lol)

    VS just all use the same thing, whatever happens to be effective, which has a disproportionate effect on both stats and player perceptions.


    So you're openly stating you're ignorant of their actual use AND don't want to even view statistical FACTS about them and only care about YOUR perception getting killed by them.

    Ok... big surprise here. Just another regular Forumsider.

    Try USING them before you try and make some ridiculous claim.

    Banshee is far and above the competition for it's effectiveness in areas with moderate to heavy AA.

    LPPA is very, VERY difficult to use if the enemy has AA, and requires a LOT more exposure to enemy retaliation than the other 2.

    Air Hammer conversely requires you to get a lot closer on average, which has it's own massive risks (Those dumbfires :eek: )

    Actually - no. Feel free to dig through my comments regarding the PPA and you will notice I kept repeating: "Leave the PPA alone - buff the Marauder and the Canister instead."

    Go ahead. :)

    Take me with you now.

    No I meant that imho PPA maybe needed some tweaks but surely not a nerf. And as far as I'm concerned Banshee is not a problem. They should not change it just because some players think all weapons should preform the same.

    If they go on with this trend we will have zero differences between factions and more stuff nerfed like ZOE or UBGL.

    Sounds like the airhammer to me. Only with rounds to spare.

    Increasing the fire rate won't improve it against air. Velocity it what you really want for it.

    I am glad someone around here has actually got a brain. Its the same reason the VS variant of the NS-15M performance has dropped in the last three days. And is now starting to reach the same performance level as the TR and NC. Changing one things can impact on many of aspects of the game.

    1. Yup

    2. KPU is misleading and erratic. Based mostly on popularity, KPU is skewed by just a few good killstreaks. Meanwhile KPH takes all the kills in an hour and averages them per weapon. KPH is fine, but not useful by itself. Because I am tired of repeating it, you get my example of why you need AVGBR and Unique stats on top of KPH to determine effectiveness with burst carbines as an example.

    Don't you just love it when you have evidence that just crushes a person's statements so well that you feel like a boss?
    I thought so:cool:

    Notice the amount of "precision" required and the "high risk" involved... :rolleyes:

    See? This is why im going to stop playing and move on to other games because SOE cannot figure out what to do with anything, they spend more time nerfing and adhering to people crying like little girls, grow up you people are spoiled i swear, thx Reddit/forumside your voice has made ALL the differences...into a spit wad shooting contest. So sick of these nerfs and people dancing on the graves about it, im moving on have fun with this bickering and rekt *** game.

    No "excellence" to behold there. Simply average flying involving hover and barrel rolls. As for "fighting" oblivious idiots - the people farmed in the Banshee video might also fit the description. Let's not forget that was an "ace" Terran pilot as well! ;)

    Vanu player kills tons of people with a weapon - He's a scrub using a scrub weapon that's ezmode

    TR player does the exact same thing - THIS GUYS A ******* PRO!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE SKILL CAP ON AN ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE WEAPON IN THE DARK, ONE HANDED WITH A BROKEN KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did I get that right?

    Like I already said. People defending the banshee sound just as moronic as those that defended the PPA.
