Ba vs....well anything on the ground

[Guardi4n]

I find it hard to blast BA to complete ape shit, in any type of mech which does not host flamers or machineguns. Is it the lag......(no its not my aiming, i track them to their highest flight point, wait for their 2 sec delay to jump then smash, lasers, Rac, AC into their puny bodies...but nothing...mostly. OFc i have the convient wow time when they splat, but their health stays completely 100% when 100 rounds of shells hit around them etc..

I have the simplist attitude that even armored battlesuits would suffer shrapnel damage from exploding ammo around them.....I find it "curious" (refraining from choice words) when my 4 PPC assault mech gets slowly but surely wittled away even if i focus on said BA.

I dunno, anyone else with these problems.....I find it hard to believe that BA solo would stand any chance against a fully equipped mech. I the stories i always read a BA squad was dangerous, but solo they were fleas to be trod upon.

Dunno, maybe a lag issue......LBX does solve the problem, but its costly if ppl understand the meaning.

It's probably the lag, I'm a fan of the LBX solution too

BUT SRMs dumb fired tend to smash those guys to bits too.

Im personaly having very little trouble with PA, my personal favorites to use on them ar PPCs, AC5s and Guass Rifles.

Pulse lasers are a death sentence to BA pilots.

Try swatting one with a large pulse and you'll see what I mean... they just kinda go POOF!

If you don't have the best weaponry for killing a BA sometimes it's best to eject and take them on in your own BA.  Anyway if you are rolling in a heavy mech BA damage really doesn't do much to you just go near some allies and have them swat the fly.

The 100% Health is a bug, I think.
Even if you use something dealing low damage (LBL, MS) their health is always 100%, even if you hit. They just suddendly die even though their Health was 100% 1 bullet before.

Depends on the BA's equipment. A BA carrying a PPC, AC2 and infernos can easily tear of an arm of your heavy/assault if ignored completely. Or they cut through you back armor and you go boooom while trying to run away ^^

Do the BA have access to autocannons? 0.0

I enjoy gauss rifling them in mid air.  PPCs have good splash as well.

[Stahlseele]

BA have one Usual AC2 and one Rotary AC.
Also, SRM's, PPC's Infernos. They are fapping Dangerous!

[Felix]

I havent seen options for infernos or any of that stuff lol

[Stahlseele]

I have only seen them once or twice, and i can NOT figure out why/why not <.<

... are you talking about the inferno grenades for the BA?

[DFDelta]

I love my Infernos.
Fly over an enemy mech/tank and drop some onto them, heavy damage and maybe a shutdown guaranteed.
They work great against enemy BA, too.

i'm not sure, but i think they were inferno SRM's
