Ok many of u already know how anti air cav I am, especially when it comes to reaver spamming grunts. While having a very interesting conversation with Ash today, I was asking him how he would always get that many kills with a reaver. I've certed reaver and mossie many times and heh, i know how easy that reaver spamming is, especially how easy it is to avoid all AA, including flak. Anyway here is 1 responce from him, that i try to point out to all the people who say that reaver spamming takes "skill"

I was extremely shocked to hear him say that. Hes probably 1 of the few that will actually admit it. Think im gonna include that pic in my next sig.

It's only easy when there is no AA...

Avoiding the AA isn't TOO hard (as a VS) but getting kills with it there is very hard.

However, with the Assfire... you stand no chance.

It's not easy if you suck hairy donkey balls in the air like I do. My Mosquito might as well have no gun on it, as it does nothing but get me into trouble when I, for some reason, think its a good idea to engage someone.

I sucked at air cav, but I liked it. Once I got 64/3 kd in an unnerfed BFR, but thats it. In air cav, those goddamn NC maxes and bfrs kill me with their rocketspam of doom. I love being a grunt though. That takes some skill to get a good kd ratio.

I have Reaver - but I rarely ever use it for anything more than Tower drops.

Also - when I do, I target MAXes and vehicles mostly.

I absolutely loathe the Reaver due to the fact that my only real enjoyment flying comes from Air-to-Air dogfighting. With a decent skill level the Mosquito far outperforms the Reaver in this capacity, even against good Reaver pilots like Ash...

However as far as how to get kills with the Reaver, it's easy to do, even with AA present. The main reason being, and this is what Ash is doing, is that you can sit at flight ceiling and Rocket Spam packed areas like V-Terms, AMS's, or even when someone Gal Drops. Rockets have no damage degradation and don't automatically blow up until about 450 meters so they kill just as effectively as if you were 20 meters from your target. AA can't deal with you when you do this because by the time the first Rocket hits you are already gone...

I will have to try that. Reaver is fun, but it is quite useless when dogfighting unless everyone is a retard. I cannot play the position game with mossies as they are just too quick. The only kills I have got were the pilots, instead of trying to out maneuver me, decided to run in a straight line ahead of me.

Now if only I could get Damilkman to teach me how to fly.... :(

In a Reaver, I just go to Flight ceiling and turret them - most skeeters are dumb enough to fall for it and get pwnted.

I like to move around too much. Thats why I like the mossie. Plus when I get triple teamed its much better to dodge. I really dont have too much trouble dogfighting. Over the past couple days I have downed well over 40 planes. Way more then I ever have before. I will also have cavalry pilot bronze very soon.

People saying that rocket spamming is skill-less doesn't bother me. Of course it takes no skill. However, when people connect people who do nothing but rocket spam to the people that fly for the specific purpose of looking for dogfights (I don't even have reaver btw), it starts to bug me.

Rocket spamming in this game takes no skill, actually flying in this game does.

For the record, I acknowledge that I have none of this said skill.

On occasion, I spam a troop, but I just use my Reaver for hotdropping on towers. Otherwise, I agree with this quote to the letter.

Yeah the dogfighting and stuff does take skill, im just referring to the gay reaverside/aircraftside that has infected planetside lately. Rocketspamming is just skilless and gay.

For the record, KingA owes me either a backpack or the promise of being shundara's love slave for the night. Don't think I forgot.

back on track... Someday I will be able to TK KingA in the air instead of shooting him in the back or OSing him. I did cert reaver again just to be a jackass and pad my killcount. I think I was 26/1 and only died cause I got into a dogfight with 2hot-k, er more like he jumped me after some AA got me. I have the upmost respect for those that only use mossie (kingA and others alike) as it does take a ton of skill to be good, especially on Emerald.

I logged in and went 20/0 with a Reaver tonight. I only shot at the weak and stupid. It was entertaining for me and kept our tower free of moron TR. I feel no shame in my Reaver whoring. It's an effective weapon and I'll use it the best I can.

If I went anywhere near an AA MAX, AA BFR or NC or TR AV I was fucked. The Reaver is very vulnerable to any of those weapons. They can kill you in seconds.

Noy, you play as a VS, and you play thıs as your only character, and you complaın about the AırCav?

Well then agaın, you are the same person that argues that a Sparrow ıs better than a StarFıre.

As VS, we have INSTAGIBBING AA.

I wıll take prıde ın my Reaverspam K/D (RagNC didn't get 425 kills first day by being an adv medic), because I had lıke TankBuster on the fırst day. I dont go for troops, I target armor. Bıg fat juıcy armor. Then ım helpıng my empıre and makıng up for the Vanguards ınabılıty to fınısh tanks off at a dıstance by makıng a swoop or two and takıng down theır armor. (Whıch ıs harder than ıt sounds ıf you fly agaınst the fuckıng Snıpıng MBT, Magrıder) And Im a fan of dogfıghtıng, but I hadnt been able to after fuckıng wıth my sensıtıvıty >: (

When you play NC you feel the burn of the StarFire.

Oh and ın terms of what Ash saıd to you, much lıke KıngA, they both say they have no skıll when they know that they do. Notıce hıs outfıt name and outfıt tıtles. Emeralds Wımpıest, Alt-G For Lıfe and stupıd shıt lıke that. In terms of KıngA, he always says he sucks because hes an annoyıngly humble bastard.

Wrong... Maybe for you Rag, but the Starfire is really only dangerous to idiot pilots who have no idea how to evade...

As far as the whole Starfire argument goes, I can tell you that it is probably the easiest of the AA to evade. When playing against VS, on either NC or TR, it is infinitely easier for me to fly. In the end I probably do die more to the Sparrow, if any AA. The main reason for this being that if a Sparrow catches you without Afterburners you are dead, no matter how well you evade, but with the Starfire I can break LoS and get away still...

The only part of the argument I can understand are the people who say the Starfire is too hard to kill 'cause it can jump. Luckily for me I've no intention of killing the thing. I just want to avoid it long enough to kill whichever Reaver or Skeeter crossed my path...

Very untrue.

Starfire > Sparrow.. in every situation... I don't understand where the Sparrow has an advantage, besides SUPER LONG RANGE, and even at super long range it's very unlikely it will get the kill.

You cant fire blanks and then have them chase a target. However u can lock onto a plane and while your projectiles are chasing it u can point to another target and they will go after the new target.

Alright I'm not gonna waste my time fighting with you on this Rag... It really doesn't matter that much to me, because I really don't have that much trouble with AA. With the exception of maybe flak catching me completely off guard I rarely, if ever, die to it.

My only point with this whole issue is that, for me, the Starfire is easier to dodge because it has a 'Line of Sight' requirement, whereas the Sparrow does not. Obviously this is not the same for everybody, so to each his own...

We are having a friendly chat, who's fighting?
AA Doesn't trouble too much as in killing me, unless it hits me a few times and then I will get evasive with low health, and then get jumped on by some random pilot.
It does trouble me when Im making passes at armor, because I have to get close and personal, and thats when the starfire burns like bikini wax.
Although since you dogfight more, I guess you worry less about ıt.

IMO I think the Sparrow is easier to fly against in an area with obstacles, in an open area you're screwed. When I flew against a starfire, the second I got lock I knew I had to turn and burn or I would be very dead very soon.

But against the sparrow, when I get lock, I know I have a 2 second window to finish off what I am shooting at and fly behind the nearest obstacle.

just my 2 cents 8)

Oh, and hi, my first post :)

Well, the heres a few key points you must remember. The Starfire is not fire and forget. The operator must keep a lock for the things to hit you, thus making AB a must. You can burn out and get out of the FOV of the AA operator, making you safe. As for the Sparrow, once the missiles are locked, they stay locked. When it comes to sparrow, you must dodge. The eaisest way to avoid them is to AB behind mountains or around trees, so they explode on the trees. The TR AA is deadly too, because you just don't know its comming. You have no missile lock waring, you just see the black stuff, and bam, youre toast. They are all good. Planetside, wether it seems like it or not (believe me, I always complain about n00b hammers, peregrines, tr aa, ect.), is one of the most balanced games out there.

Who cares about that, Campo made the best post I've seen this month.

I know Starfire ain't F-A-F, and I've been knowing for about a year now. :P But, I actually like that you have to keep Aircraft sighted with a Starfire, goes with my belief that most VS crap needs some skill to use effectively. It's nice. :)

As for AB, well, thats not always a guarantee, ask some of the Reaver pilots I've killed before..... :mrgreen:

But, most of the time, it does work and they can get away. Or at least they give me a hard time shootin' them. ;)

Campo
04-20-2005, 04:45 PM
Yes, well, now heres my thoughts on the NC Peregrine Particle Cannon. The thing behind bfrs is well, they are supposed to always win 1 on 1 with a tank, if the tank doesnt move. If the tank is moving, its usually a bit harder, but bfr wins 9 out of 10. Thats how bfr goes. Now, BFR on BFR (both with the same type of weapon, mind you) is based on who shoots first and who connects with the first shots. This is pretty true with the colosus and the aphelion (invader and eclipse) because well, the colosus isnt as powerful, yet has a greater range. So, take these two, and put them 10 feet from each other, and shoot the same ammount of ammo at the same time, chances are, they will both explode at aproximately the same time. Move them a bit further, same thing. Further though, and the colosus will win by a slight margin versus the vs, yet the vs can still shoot quicker and can manuver a bit quicker.

When it comes to the peregrine though, this is basically ruined. That Ion cannon thing will take a bfr down in around 8 shots. 3 or 4 for the shields, and the rest to finish it off. No bfr stands a chance versus one of them with a gunner.

Now, when it comes to distance, that thing has extra long range, out gunning the vs and well, about the same as colossus. Thus, wether you have the first shot or not, you typically loose. The key to beating these guys is to do hit and run or ambush strikes. Since their gunner turret is quite slow, a bfr here and there can take it down while keeping moving and staying out of the FOV as much as possible. Although they are not invincible, I do think it is a bit overpowered, but for now, we deal with it.

I still believe VS as a team is way stronger than the other empires. How many times do you see TR or NC with about 10 bfrs on the field, yet we still seem to beat them off with only about 3 or 4 of our bfrs scattered around the battlefield. That says a lot about the way these people fight, and a lot about how to beat them. Wow, this is why I love this game.

I personally like the way the reaver and the skeet work. If you couldn't hover in one spot, and if you could loop and shit, it'd be took much like BF1942 and I hate that game. Those kind of dogfights would be fun, but after a while, I wouldn't like them.

Yes, I've heard of your silly Harrier, and the F35 JSF, and the Raptor, and the UAVs, and, well you get the point. I've heard of all of that crap.

There's also this neat little propeller chopper/aircraft called the Osprey. Lifts up like a helicopter, and then it tilts the rotors and flys like plane, at up to 300MPH I think.

Sounds about the fold of the Skeeter and Reaver to me.

As I wanted to say, you don't need a 1000KPH fighter plane when you're fighting on one silly little continent, that just won't work.

I really want my reaver to have lock on capability to whom ever or whatever i designate wherever it is. Prefereably i could type my target in the console and my reaver rockets would launch and attack my target.

That way i can reaver spam all forum whiners while sitting in Amerish. Honestly that would rock.

Its interesting that this thread has come up now. I've been working on my Reaver skills for the past week with my ace pilot alt FranckoAT. I still suck, but I am determined to get better.

Last Saturday we did Reaver day and had about a dozen working in a group. THAT was fun. We have a guy in my outfit, BeekerGunShip, who is an actual Air Force flight instructor. He led our ops which made it an awesome and successful experience.

I am on a quest for new thrills in PS.

What im getting at francko is the all the fucking cheap reaver spamming of ground troops that is happening too much now. U reaver and mossie pilots that have dog fights, i respect u highly. But those of u that reaverspam a ground troop or use your sniping mossie cannon and hover strafe from a great distance..... Well enougth said.

To be quite honest the only reaver spam I hate is the stuff from my own side that camp towers and doors.... expecially when I'm trying to get in.

As such, I rarely run into problems with enemy air. They can't come inside and get me... and if I go out it'll be in a starfire or Mag rider which kills air stuff dead.

Noy, you got AV right? Lancer the mossies. Most pilots, like me, dont have the best accuracy, so strafe back and forth. Most times the will turn instead of strafe with you. As far as reavers go, I have seen some sorry ones. A guy named wilecoyote or something like that for NC is one of them. He was maybe 40 meters away and couldn't rocket spam me at the backdoor. So two options, A) Lancer them, or B) get a mossie and go shoot them down. I am finding it easier and easier to dogfight. Why xenode? There are way too many dumb pilots in this game. I found a mossie camping a tower door. So I start shooting him from the side. Instead of even trying to shoot me he runs, in a straight line, til his death. I also get the guys who pick a fight, you know the ones that like to rape you while you got striker/sparrow lock. I dive down and turn to be on top and behind them. Their instinct tells them to run instead of dogfight the half health mossie against their full health mossie.

The only real problems I have had are with the good pilots. People like Pr00f, 2hot-k, cyphix, I got nebMA once, and most TRx suck, but theres a few good pilots.

If u actually manage to kill a mossie with a lancer then the pilot is a fucking moron.

I've heard of Reavers getting killed by a single guy with less. Seriously, it shouldn't be that hard with a Lancer if the Skeeter pilot is a moron, which he most likely is.

U reaver and mossie pilots that have dog fights, i respect u highly.

Yay Noyjitat respects me!!! :)

Oh and BTW if you manage to gain air superiority by dogfighting don't you think it would be kind of a waste not to start killing ground targets? I for one will not even look at the ground untill there is not a single Enemy Aircraft in sight, but once I know that they are all down then what? Its kinda boring sitting there waiting for idiotic pilots to try and engage me... :(

yep ^


Ground to Air kills with a lancer is the easiest to do. Most pilots are dumb. The really dumb ones get picked off by decis.

^This is commonly seen in TRx where most everyone is a total failure. They set every halfwit with aircav and pshield up to die.

As a sniper, I say this: Air cav whores rape babies and deserve only the longest and most painful of deaths. Unless they're dogfighting, or shooting at vehicles.

Guru.... change your loadout so you carry a lancer. You kids ARGH! Air cav isnt that hard to beat. If you find yourself getting reaver spammed often, check yourself for teh zerg. It is an epidemic that is spreading faster everyday. It is more deadly then the black plague and causes uncontrollable forum spammage. :)

Snipers rape baby jesus and deserve only the longest and most painful death carried out by Rosie O'Donell. Unless they're shooting at BFRs.

At least planes can be shot with all sorts of shit..sniping is just lame :(
