Im sorry? did you hover to long? ESF is anything BUT useless, it is easy air support with proper load outs, and can handle a lot of situations. Give me a reason they are useless.
You always get people pulling AA in big fights simply because ESF are extremely powerful, there are no buts.
Any single unit is mostly useless if it acts in isolation in a large fight. ESF pilots mostly play solo so they feel like it's unfair that as soon as they enter a big fight they get hit by Flak from 5 different sources, but from the ground AA's perspective, there were 10 ESF, 2 liberators and a galaxy to deal with.
Not a big ESF fan, never spent much time in the air, but ... I still managed to get gold medals on many of its weaps once I eventually learned to hug the ground without constantly running into trees. It works well enough in large fights if you treat it like a Harasser that hovers 30ft off the ground. ...And just like with Sniping... if you want to live more 60 seconds, then FFS....
