EDIT: And the thermals were reduced by like 100 meters. Fuck off SOE.
The range on thermals is now 200m. Now ESFs have a 3 second window on finding a target and actually shooting at it before they slam into the ground.
3 seconds? I'm pretty sure I've seen even the super-duper-awful-piece-of-crap-worthless-waste-of-space Reaver hover-strafe longer than that.
And I'm also sure using the methods of target acquisition that don't involve highlighting potential targets with an easy-to-spot glowing texture still work fine well beyond 200 meters.
Unless of course there is an AA max.
Go ahead try it. Go hover for 3 seconds with an AA max in the area. While also taking small arms fire and worrying about other aircraft.
See if you make it out.
Just played 40 mins and got 12 kills. Between not being able to see shit, AA, and A2A the reaver is the most ineffective piece of shit out there.

If one AA max is giving you problems, then you must be an ESF all alone with no empire support. At that point you either out maneuver and kill the max, or go somewhere else.
Doesn't take much for an aa max to hide in a door way while still able to hit air. Leaving the area to go some where else doesn't work when there will be aa there as well. Saying "just kill the AA" is like.. no. An AA max wins in a one on one fight everytime.
As a Reaver pilot you just fly around lookimg for stragglers which is boring as fuck.
EDIT: EIther way, you guys need to give it a try if you just do not believe me.

AA Maxes will chew you up, but get wrecked by supporting ground forces
So, you know
have supporting ground forces
What you have to look out for are enemy air superiority fighters. Those are what kill me, every time.

I duel MAXes all the time in my Scythe. Very, VERY rarely do I get the jump on one, even back with the old NV range (outside of swooping up onto towers from underneath - which is close range). I'd say more than 90% of the time I find an AA MAX it's because he's already shooting at me well beyond the 300m range, or he's shooting nearby friendlies.
And solo MAXes are very easy to deal with, even if they spot you first. MAXes with engy/HA backup though, it's best to steer clear of those groups unless you have ground pounders backing you up.
But you're right, there's AA pretty much everywhere, so I guess it's time we all just turned in our wings and joined the zerg ranks.
Doesn't take much for an engineer with javelins to hide in a door way while still able to hit tanks. Leaving the area to go some where else doesn't work when there will be javelins there as well. Saying "just kill the engineer" is like.. no. A javelin engineer wins in a one on one fight everytime.

So I certed the first rank of reload speed for the HE lightning because fuck it, I have some certs to burn. I was a little surprised at how much I noticed it. It's only 2% which should be like, a twentieth of a second or something, but it definitely seemed like it made a difference.
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

Oh, that explains that.
It is Wakawa we are talking about. The only thing he does in these threads is complain and wave his dick around.
You still got more kills than a burster max does in an hour..
I would have reduced the NV range for infantry, but perhaps not vehicles.
Anyway there was tons of air rolling around last night and barring concerted defensive AA, they were still quite deadly. Several of our outposts got overrun by the NC Lib zerg. I pulled a burster Max and he immediately died to an LA with C4.
So what is the best secondary for the Vanguard? I have the AP main gun, so I was thinking Kobalt to take out infantry.
Everyone says the enforcer is the best. I usually do the driving, not the gunning, so I really don't know. It's what I have on top of my Vanguard though.
What do we have to do to get TotalBiscuit fired? :P
Can't do anything, since the reason Tobuscus got canned was because he was being insufferable and not even bothering to play the game for more than... Oh, an hour or so since the time they announced this thing.
TB on the other hand actually qualifies, that and he's the only one getting into RPing this shit up xP. I mean come on, this stuff is funny: http://tindeck.com/listen/fmvs Wonder if he'll take on a nervously still high spirited tone when his "Leader Character" realizes the new leader of the Vanu is an actual fighter.

Then again, TotalBiscuit is also a TotalDouchebag.
Having LevelCap will be interesting. I believe he is on Gerenodine(sp?). Thing is, TB has follows that don't really play this type of game but like him and want to play with him. Hence all the terribad TR on Waterson. I am pretty sure the anyone that joins the Vanu to play with LevelCap will want to work tactically as a team since Level doesn't stray away from things like BF3 and PS2 for very long. That might be a force to be reckoned with.
What the hell is this thing even going to be about in the end if they are all on different servers, not fighting each other?
The whole thing will take place on one server, probably Connory.

An outfit mate is being followed and constantly TKd by another vanu outfit. Two of their members were kicked by us and then landed in there and now for some reason they are making our mate's PS2 life really shitty. So we report them, send screenshot and video evidence of them doing it. And what does SOE say? This:
This is Operative SOEOP with PlanetSide 2 in-game support. Sorry to hear you're having such a frustrating experience with TK1, TK2, and their outfit. Some people just can't seem to let go of grudges even if they were in the wrong. I saw that Operative SOEOP2 already described our grief system to you, but if that isn't enough, then I have one more suggestion to you. Since you are the leader of the largest VS Outfit on the server, I would try to resolve things with those two and their outfit in a civil manner first (chat with them and ask them to stop TKing you and your outfit members). If that doesn't work, then get a group of your members together and TK them right back. If a peaceful resolution can't be met through efforts on your part, then force may be the only way to end the conflict and show them that you won't just take their traitorous actions sitting down. I hope that things cool off and you're all able to fight together again in the end. If you have any other issues or concerns don't hesitate to contact us again. Good luck and enjoy your next battle!

So they are basically telling us to TK them right back. If you were just a normal player who by chance wasn't in the biggest VS outfit, how are you supposed to fight back against these guys if SOE doesn't even have your back? Seriously, step it up SOE!
Have you tried contacting the TKers' outfit leader and letting them know that they are risking SOE endorsed war with the largest outfit on the server?
We have, of course. No response yet.
I hope it will solve itself through this, but again the fact that SOE basically says we should "administer our own justice" is fucking backwards as fuck.

If they have such a laissez-faire attitude to intentional TKing, doesn't that legitimize the use of "sleepers" in other factions to cause havoc?
Well this is faction internal, so no idea about that.
But seriously, we have so many members, we could literally TK them 24/7. Like,without a problem.
And Sony is basically telling us "lol if they don't listen to words,just TK em bro, rofl".
