    Ey m8s :)
    Found out that the drop for Lock-Ons in dumbfire mode has been decreased:D
    Dont know if this is only for Vanu:confused: Only tested Hades and Nemisis, but i guess that this is good for NC/TR to, but i hope ppl can test this, havent been in VR with my TR/NC toon;)

    Yep it looks get a curve close to stock dumbfire (MS7/Shrike/S1) now.

    They certainly changed the dropoff on it since the speed didn't looks changed.

    And I wondered why I hit so many tanks at range with my dumbfired Nemesis yesterday... :D

    I noticed this just now. I love it, I can run around with the Hawk and have more confidence in my ability to hit vehicles at those longer ranges, -and- don't have to run back to the terminal every two minutes to change between AA and AV. The damage output isn't as much but being able to consistently hit more often than makes up for it in my opinion.

    Velocity for dumbfire AA rockets has increased substantially. Nemesis disco balls are now faster than S1 rockets. That's why their trajectory is so flat. I haven't tried the Hades G2G though (don't own it, I use the Lancer).

    Hmm, this seems more like a bug than anything. Maybe something to do with the Falcon speed buff, or even early onset lockon changes.

    1SK-ing anti infantry noobtube certainly needed a buff.
    I love how it arbitrarily only affected the G2A variety. Totally makes sense! Bing killed by Decimator was getting old, this is so much better!

    Yeah it is great. After hitting auraxium with the S1 I will use the Nemesis for AI purposes and can still engage air targets :D

    Remember the days when the G2A lock-on launchers had no drop whatosever? I called it my HA sniper rifle.

    That sounds like it was a glorious time indeed.

    I noticed this too. The skep and grounder seem to have much less drop than before, and the velocity feels faster as well. Very nice to use.

    Man i was wondering about this for some days, the drop seems to be less than the standard dumbfire launcher now and the rockets seem to accelerate when used at longer ranges, great against moving ground targests, i'm carrying this one over the standard launcher now all the time except for biolab interior
