    Stop trying to fix this and scrap it.

    Since tr is about dakka dakka they should make a handheld Vulcan.

    Maybe have Av ammo for t7 chaingun.

    Make tr esrls worth something.

    Yeah, a handheld Vulcan what could go wrong ?

    Honestly, I loved it when it was a lock-on.

    We already got like a 100 pages in this forum telling the DEVs that their whole concept for the striker now sucks. They just don't listen.

    What I would want for that thing is similar to a handheld vulcan. I want it to fast-fire small rockets, but not just a few, more like 100 with 300rpm. That would be TR style!

    Not identical stats. -.- It's the mechanic of rapid fire tank damaging gun he talks about.
  6. Zeppelin123

    Nono I am fine with identical stats :p

    You know, I kind of like it. All that I feel it is missing is one extra round in the mag and maybe a small buff to the ammo supply.

    At least is good at AA. But nothing else, yep

    o_O It has the range for dueling an airhammer.

    I didn't. It was just a higher risk (stand out in the open firing bright red rockets letting everyone know where you are), higher reward Annihilator.

    You never actually got kills with the thing, as most things could easily retreat/kill you before you killed them or if it was used in groups... well only 1 of you is going to get the kill. However, unlike the other factions most TR actually carried their ESRL, meaning anytime there was a group of TR there was a group of Striker users.

    Tell that to the PPA Scythes so far lockon couldn't reach them, but I was able with the Striker. Is for aircraft doing A2G, no more
  12. I play by many names

    Nearly all of the faction specific special weapons should be scraped and reworked including directive rewards. They really needed to be a lot more careful with what they imported from PS1 and what they made brand new. They imported/recycled weapons that simply don't fit the fast TTKs of this game and are impossible to balance in places were they really should have just created new content.

    It was glorious dakka.

    I like the Striker as it is now the only thing that drives me crazy is that you can fire 6 Rockets at an ESF and they just hover there 50m away an kill you while you're reloading
    Give it enough DMG to one-clip ESF to be equal to the other ESRL maybe by enlarging the clip to 15 or something like that
  15. OldMaster80

    Yeah it's great. When aircraft is not moving.
    This weapon is now exactly where devs wanted it to be: extremely weak unless it's spammed.
    But despite other rocket launchers the striker cant kill infantry.
  16. Nalothisal

    NO! I love my Phoenix too much to give it up. Take it away and I'll strangle someone!

    How about giving me my 1000sc back?

    I bought it as a air and ground lock on esrl.

    Its been nerfed and isn't worth 1000 sc.

    Time to do the right thing here soe.

    Refund the sc or fix it. Its only fair.

    Agreed, I paid 700SC for it when it was 500 dam and lock on. Now it's crap and I won't/can't use it anymore.

    I really like the striker I never thought it was broken when you could lock on or with the new dumb fire thing. It is really hard to balance the empire specific launchers, because they are so different. However, lets not just give up on the whole idea of the striker.
