It shows a complete lack of understanding of the game's damage handling- a rather counterintuitive system I think.I don't deal with many plasma bombers, and when I do I hose them down with impunity.
One plasma volley aimed at the single gun behind the front axle, and the resulting damage spread-out would break it in half.
Solid masses are actually really really bad- they're easy targets, and any damage they take is spread until one shot rips huge chunks out of it. It took me quite a while to realize that.
I feel like I've shot you repeatedly already if that's a T7/T8 and you've been on a losing streak. You wouldn't even notice me operating at very nearly my chopper's altitude ceiling, and suddenly you'd get hosed with a 6 shot salvo of plasma right on that weak spot.
That said my tank is pretty solid to most forms of damage, the center connection is short and thick enough that I've never had anyone cut me in half. It was a major design flaw in the older version, on top of an otherwise open glass canopy, but I've since corrected it.
I end most matches leading my team in level and score, and that's all the credentials I need to know I've got a solid fighting vehicle.
Whoops, I quoted one post too many. My reply was talking about SCN-3's tank. Haven't seen screencaps of yours yet Surge.
I also tend to be top 5 scores, with many matches being top 3 kill count because I can just dump plasma on people from high atltitudes. A lot of craft are vulnerable when attacked from above or beneath.
Actual plasma bombers are a sore spot for me as well. While the electropates and triforcing can tank off most SMG based, and rails will always result in chunks being ripped out, the problem I have with proper flyer and bomber types is that they move too fast for me to return fire effectively.
But as a plasma copter, I do a lot of damage in a hurry when I can get above my target.
Feel free to PM me if anything is broken
