TLDR?

Anti Vehicle Mana turret for engies got a severe nerf. Can no longer snipe vehicles at 800 meters.

TR got most of their weapons buffed

All other factions got theirs nerfed.

I agree with AV turret but I would rather have seen TR buffed without NC and VS getting their main guns nerfed.

TR needed some love though. I'm happy about the hailstorm now that it's worth using compared to Sirius and Blitz.

Honestly, making sure, no really fucking sure this fucking time, that the rockets always fucking render would have probably been fine. Even at 800 yards, most tank drivers can easily countershell back... and being in a tank and all, they win.

But this? With the auto-callout on turrets, expect to be no better than a heavy at tank killing. aka, only successful against the noob, the distracted, or as part of the zerg. With the ridiculous terrain limitations on turrets, easily 3/4 of my attempts to use it result in a) Sniped or tanksniped before I can even find that 1 tiny sliver of green placement square, Sniped as soon as I hop into it (due to the spawn in time giving cloakers plenty of time to zero in, or c) countershelled into oblivion after the first rocket.

TR accuracy buffs do seem a tad odd, it *feels like* I get absolutely drilled at 60+ meters by TR all the time, without any stray tracers.

I'm not crashing nearly as much this patch and TR is fun to play again, also, all the weapon balances feel really good.


I have noticed that VS Connery took a huge hit on population the last few weeks unless really late at night, so if anyone is playing NC Matherson and TR Waterson hit me up.

I'm TR Waterson here (Trebb). I'm usually in whatever outfit has the most active players. Yesterday I had a blast with in our platoon as the A squad, constantly running through the caves and holding a point against greater odds. I used to be engie 100% of the time but had certs to kill so I mostly maxxed out medic and infiltrator. SMG infiltrators are almost too easy =\

Living in Alaska and playing on an East Coast server can suck, I lose almost any 1v1 where I don't get the drop on someone. Luckily I move back east in a few months =D

Normally I don't post exploits, but this one I did on accident, then had to play around to figure it out.

To drive/fly around with stuck always-on infinite afterburner / turbo, spawn any vehicle that has turbo or afterburners, land somewhere flat, then press your exit vehicle button followed by your turbo button *immediately* after you exit. It may take a couple of tries, but when you hear the afterburner go off on your empty vehicle, you know it works

I had fun launching my harasser off some sweet jumps! lol... It's almost impossible to control most vehicles with it, so it's not something 'exploitable' per se.. maybe in an ESF though.

That may help explain a couple harassers I saw last night which were bouncing around like quarter-machine rubber balls.
