Post: Any others agree with this? Air Superiority
03-05-2013, 06:50 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've just watched a few videos on Youtube, seeing as PS3 Premium players now have the End Game DLC, and there's one thing that I didn't really like the look of.
Personally I don't think Heatseekers should be on the mode, it's going to be so annoying, about 80% of players will just put Beam Scanning on with it and not even use the cannon. Obviously Rocket Pods and Guided Missile are rendered (near) useless, but I think it'd be better just not allowing players to access that customisation slot.
On the positive side though, I love how they've integrated a Conquest aspect into it, adds some objective to the mode, and I'm still looking forward to trying out Air Superiority.

Your thoughts?

Only way to dodge is be far away from the missle do a sharp turn which force the missle into the ground or something. Of course mixed with latency issues it makes dodging hit and miss.
Only other way I know how to dodge them is confused the missle so it blows up near you using the ECM cloud or you can pull it off doing another set of sharp turns.

Flares are also subject to latency issues also :p


From my experience,

Flares > ECM Jammer

I stopped using ECM a while ago in favour of flares, either way I still look forward to End Game.
On other note, RTS do you have Premium because I'll hit you up and we should have a game when it's released Smile

If you're great in a jet ECM but flares are easier to learn. When I spent a lot of time in a jet I use ECM.
Yea I do have Premium n-n
Sure :y:

Eh, I don't ever use flares. ECMS work way better in my opinion. Actually, they're easier to use. Flares require timing. (Good timing at that with latency issues.)

Back to OP, if anything, explosives should be removed from AS to make it seem "fair" to all the low level vehicle users. If we did it my way, people would need to level their vehicles up in conquest before they could start getting kills in TS and AS.

Update to my OP after playing AS.

GET RID OF HEATSEEKERS.
Fed up of being locked all the time, takes no skill at all the kill with them, Jets shouldn't be easy to use in my opinion, should have to learn to play well with them.
Oh well I guess I can only imagine how good it would be with just cannons :(

I would figure people who are good with the guns would destroy at AS but I haven't seen anyone use the guns in AS. Only heatseekers.

I can beat 99% pub dogfighters... its fucking annoying when you get 6 heatseekers in your ass

Not only this, but it's also much funner using the cannon.

cannon is instakill if your aim is good
just time your shooting when you are in the loop and enemy will not have even chance to react
