Starhawk General

I've been trying to put up with this and not complain about it, but its finally gotten to the point where I can't stand it anymore. Does anyone else feel the same? Maybe I'm comparing too much to Warhawk, and how the flak was only effective against vehicles, but that's how I feel it should be.

Seriously, I'll spawn and see just a blue string and I'll be dead. This cannot be right.

The Speeder loadout is especially brutal with this....probably never gonna join another speeder match again....

Base ravaging situation, no
If your out on the map and the game is rolling along your fair game pal

[O-ACE-TheCat]

sorry, what?

what does the game "rolling along" have to do with something that (in my opinion) doesn't work properly?

The hawk is already so strong against troops. It doesn't need extra power from a malfunctioning weapon.

[wrappy]

yes way OP against troops, it clears out troops lickity split, and has a huge blast radius(no aiming needed).

Ok next time I won't kill you so you can take my zone and end up with the win, etc etc etc, this applies to every game mode, if your on the ground doing damage to my team or a potential threat to my team losing, I will flak or cluster you plain and simple

[wrappy]

yeah that goes w/out saying, I'm going to use everything at my disposal to take a zone, kill a flag carrier. clear a base, or

whatever, doesn't mean it's not OP.

Just gotta have teamwork, even if the other team has pilots better than me, I'll still get up and give them a hard time before they kill me, keeps them distracted from the ground game, as soon as you have a team with no one willing to fly its going to go south

On the maps with a high ceiling you can dive bomb troops and kill them with flak,

Even with one hundred beam turrets guarding your base I can still kill you.

Unless you're playing assault in one of the loadout that doesn't give the defenders access to hawks

(besides trying to steal / hack one)

DIve found it extremely difficult to kill toops with flak. Course it just may be my crappy aim.
