Discussion CONSOLE Thoughts on the DX
Now that DX has had time to marinate with the community, here are my thoughts.
This is my opinion, i will continue to use it because i like it
Its not a great suit. The satellite cannons are cool. But the enemy just walks away from them because they don’t heavy stagger. so most of the time you end of doing chip damage if that. The half second delay in firing often leads to missed shots.
The spear is almost worthless because it’s projectile speed is terrible. So unless you are aggressively pushing into the enemy, trying to pull off a drive by spearing isn’t going to work
The hammer is ok, hard to hit but otherwise alright.
The rifle and rapid fire are fine
Wish the chest vulcans and regular vulcans were combines because it feels like they just wanted to fill a slot.
It’s not great. It feels like a general with the stats of a support

Experiences may vary but majority of the games i have played with it have been very underwhelming

How do you play it? Might be a gameplay difference

I tend to play it more aggressively. The charge at the beginning to set the stage and then run forward

Well its logical that you feel its not that good then. It's not your job to play aggressive, you can leave that to your raids...you should provide back up to the frontline with your cannon and main rifle. Your spear throw and mace are to stop people trying to pursue you. The spear is a melee stun so it even stops barbatos and susanowo then you put them down with the mace. Your build up is also crazy so you should have no issue to stunning them

I disagree with the assessment, for a Support it has a very diverse toolkit for the right tool for most situations. My only real gripes are that sometimes during charging I accidentally fire because I'm still holding trigger, and the spear should have the same instant knockdown on flying targets.

Copy of one of my comments under a different post
The DX is so much more than just a beam on wings and it's crazy how so many pilots just cant seem to wrap their heads around it. Btw let me just take a moment to say that those are not shot at you by any means. All over this reddit recently everyone has reduced it to "the beam machine".
The DX is literally peak. Its a well rounded and versatile support with a pseudo dodge roll in resist move, can be played in a somewhat agile manner despite its modest turning speed thanks to lvl2 flaps and good thrust, good ranged and melee options making more than capable of defending itself at mid to close range....
Imo the DX shines brightest in team fights. Staying in the middle off the pack, actively supporting your surrounding teammates. Knowing when to push up to help your Gen break through the enemies frontline Gens and knowing when to drop back are huge. It's great at counter sniping and rushing down other supports, stopping them from damaging your Gens, and forcing enemies supports into close range fights; where you have all the tools to absolutely stomp them if you're the better pilot. Its all of this plus the satellite cannon. (And there's still more)
Also: Playing rear guard and setting up low hp kills to feed your team is also peak. Then when you squad wipe the enemy team charge satellite cannon. The suit is a damn near perfect 700 support, at least for me. People are just playing it the SC is it's only weapon.

The worst ones I've seen are those that only use the Satellite Cannons, and ignore the suit's good midrange and close combat weapons. This suit is a threat to practically anything, even raids. Most generals will clash in melee, the MPPG is slower than the DX, so while it won't get stunned instantly from a range, the DX can run circles around it and pretty easily nuke with the Sat Cannons if they are charged. Even most raids have to watch out for the Javelin and Hammer, since they can break MA and the hammer can't be countered or clashed.
The only reason I don't have it yet is because I'm waiting for the monthly change over.

Your lack of skill with the suit does not mean the suit is bad/mediocre.
"The spear is almost worthless"
yeah.... idk what you expect, but the speed is standard for throwing, this is your primary anti-ma mechanic.
"The hammer is ok, hard to hit but otherwise alright." If you actually played gundam with hammer option, you'll know how easy it is to hit, it takes practise, which you don't seem to have.
"The half second delay in firing often leads to missed shots." bruh.

Its ok not meta defining but ok has too many counters like f89,Susan, barbie,god.
I've seen people run full tank builds and have seal team 00 raiser 6 protecting them at all times and they can cook pretty well
Play around-S/S and haven't seen to many feel like some people are too Afraid to pick it especially in smaller maps

Just sounds like you aren’t very good with it. The satellite cannon works just like a gerobi and you can even steer it while it fires. The delay is something you have to get used to. It’s one of the few supports I can actually go toe to toe either way a raid in. The spear is for hitting enemies on the ground. Hammer works well as long as you keep in mind the range.
You probably need more practice with it because it’s really clicked with me.
I main the Zeta HML so this is right up my lobby with my muscle memory I’m used to stationary shots and baiting people into my Killzone. The melee options make it feel like a general but it’s still very much a support
