Well Ravens are outperforming Fractures so they have that. Everyone knows that NC have the best MAX ability TR MAXs locked down killing tanks? We are on the same server and I see NO ONE using lockdown and those that have it are ridiculed. If you think the Aegis shield takes away your ability to close distance or escape, wait till you try lockdown.... At least NC MAXs have a specialisation. Yes TR and VS MAXs are versatile, we are good at everything but masters of nothing. NC though are MASTERS of CQC and boy do you use them well in those situations As a platoon lead I completely avoid NC biolab fights unless we can ghost cap (go straight for the SCU) because when NC decide to MAX crash, its game over.
This is just stupid use falcon two rocket one kill at long range short range what you want it's already jack of all trade.Falcon overperformed tr rocket launcher with real damage.Before cry go test, for mid engage with a good aim it's more simple to kill accurately with falcon then use mercy who are the more accurate tr weapon but still have a big spread before 65m.You can make the test in training area
Instagibbing someone with dual falcons is only possible if the target is standing still, does not have flak armor and you can aim with that tiny dot reticule while compensating for travel time and drop. And you can do all this with a devastator (?) with a heavy assault albeit with a slower rocket but no resource cost. Or a sniper rifle, or many other options that do this better, but a serviceable max "pilot" can simply "manage." Dual pounders have more drop, but can do the same, ditto with comets though no drop and about same damage (or shots to kill at least). Lockdown actually does have a good niche, it's just not against infantry or at least not without support and flak armor. Dual flak with lockdown is very nasty against air, or dual pounders when you sneak behind a tank. Aegis should reduce AoE damage received if it is to be useful.
yeah you have right but no flak armor only work on splash damage no direct hit. You instagib in all case you are just bad. Before nerf i two shoot guy with fracture where i need two direct hit so 4 rocket like choukas actually. And it was easy with less munition velocity. Go on training area and see engage 65 y with mercy you need to focus fire and wait random make successive hit. You control nothing spread is awful but with two weapon and focus you kill. With falcon like all weapon you need to compensate but this is for all weapon when you handle it is really more simple and quick. And in all case you aim is bad and you don't have the feeling to compensate the drop (hard on this game where is all about) you take choukas two direct hit you kill this still more quick then use two mercy. Make the test. i really undestand this game nc have weapon with consistent up and easy handle and they cry. See the last snipe extrem velocity who remove compensate, no drop with 12x scope at max range, max damage in one world all in one powerful simple.
I can see English isn't your first language, so let me make this simple. If you are basing everything off VR you are wrong. Of course it's easy to hit a stationary target that will always be exactly where you intend it to be. Record a video of you using dual falcons to consistently kill people "in game" in all situations or ****
I have no time for video but see my stats on fracture in two day before i pause the game, this is before nerf when we need 4 rocket to kill. 285 kill most of them are infantry. Now with 8 rocket is no more playable this underperformed a simple gun. i have better stat with fracture then mercy and now i just use them for supress fire at long range with lockdown to force retreat on mbt no more kill with that and my accuracy have extremely drop on stat. The point you understand is mercy same spray then shotgun is just a minigun you need to spray enough time to have kill at ranged, guy can easely hide when they take the first hit before you can kill. In this case falcon are extremely better one hit they die no time to hide quick and clean. And sorry i'm not english my writing is bad i know that but i understand well.
And be realistic most of the kill in this game are opportunist strike on target who not see you or already engage on other target in this case falcon are really more effective then mercy for ranged shoot.
what ? you're the one who need to try out other faction's weapons. Vortex hits nearly instantly and has good DPS for a pretty much unavoidable weapon (it doesn't even shake when you are charging it, its even more accurate than ADS infantry small arms when on the move) when charged and you can even use it for AA and AI work just fine at any range (infantry takes what, 6 uncharged/2 charged shots ?)
Just make slugs more reliable. They are plagued way to much for being a cheap attachment instead of a viable reliable long range option for the shotguns. Im talking about trigger dicipline + good aim = reliable hits with a Slug weapon past 25 meters. Falcons are already pretty dominating, which can make up for the lack of range/reloadspeed/mobility/and adatability of an NC Max, but slugs are just to questionable in that 25+range to be a viable competitor to the other maxes.
I would much rather give NC MAXes some type of middle distance weapon (other than falcons I mean) than muck with the other factions' weapons. If that means TR/VS MAXes get some kind of super-close-range weapon also, bully for them.
NC MAXs need the equivalent of Jackhammers strapped on to them. Tight cone, normal shotgun damage, 3x burst feature.
A good niche? It's a temporary farm niche, that's it. And I love the joke about sneaking behind a tank, that's funny. And dual flak stops being useful around the same time bulldogs/zephyrs/shredders start getting mounted on airborne vehicles. Which is instantly unless you're facing a lone wolf.
