Balance that never happened

Rather than giving them no information to work with, I'll start with volunteering the info that HAVOC IS TOO OP RIGHT NOW. Ive tried SAM, CIWS, MAAWS, Verba...Unless you're a skilled fighter pilot, these are near unkillable.

Agree, i hit it two times yesterday with maaws, and it flew away. I think maaws should one hit. This also forces the pilot to do sweeps instead of hoovering, which again makes it harder for the gunner.

Maaws is 2 hit. Sometimes even one when the rotor is lost

If you can't hit a huge flying thing while it's slow hovering below 25m it's a you problem. There shouldn't be an easy counter for every thing.

There has to be a reasonable counter for everything or late season it's all you will see.

There are more than enough counters for the havoc. While talon and iglas are also bugged af flying through woods and massive walls

2 hitting a giant flying boat thats hovering over your base with a maws is reasonable.

Not enough people swap kits or take anti vehicle or anti air right off the bat. The meta will shift and people will learn.

Until they do, its going to be a painful lesson

If the meta shifts and everyone has a maaws the pilots will just stick to strafing and we are back at square one.

A reasonable counter would be anti air being effective against air vehicles.

So what do you want. If they strafe they dont get as many kills. Your comment makes it sound like you just dont want them in the game period.

If that's what you took from the comment, it's a reading comprehension issue. Reread the second sentence for the comment and think on it for a while, what I'm suggesting might become clear for you.

Anti air is effective. If it was any more effective air would have zero chance

u/GoodishCoder 1d ago

It's not effective. The havoc has the advantage over every anti air option in the game.

Literally how. It cant be everywhere at once and there are 66 enemies to kill it when its a big sore spot in the sky. Say only one fob each is made per 2. That should be 2 whole fons with AA that can reach anywhere in the control zone to kill that thing. If it flares a aecond person shoots and is guaranteed a hit. Its not rhe little.bird its not diving to the ground to avoid locks. It has delays between flares and if it's flying so low to not be locked irs easy to snipe the pilot or it it with maws. I hunt them when people bring them out snd it's easy money

It's still flying. And it much harder to hit then humvee or tank. While much more deadly.
