I’ll post this here and hope that random people will see it and know what to do in an LRF.

 

Gunboat Ira Deus.  Minefields plus torpedo, and a lot of mortars fired.  We lost, but we held our last station.

Positrons are better for the Ira Deus. Since you don’t have many CPU slots, with the CM you have to be too close for confort. Positrons gives you better alpha, more range, and insane accuracy.

 

And yes, I’m having a lot of fun with the Ira Deus. I stil prefer the sigurd for more tank, but the DPS you can dish with the positrons + torpedoes in the Ira Deus is quite nice.

I don’t have a spare set of positrons lying around, so I make do with coil mortars. A firing rate of 140 rpm is really fun, even if it’s not as effective.

Also please fix the warpgates on the new map, I was captain in a CB recon yesterday and went through one to make a frontal assault with my team at the start of the game and instantly exploded… (there was no one in the way on the other side)

84

Dont forget that the main objective of the LRFs is to kill… or at least deal a deadly amount of damage. 

In general Jerry-LRFs fail to do that (well, actually pretty much everybody… so far I know of about 10 dangerous LRF-Pilots which perform constantly very well)

 

If you dont fail with the LRF it can be a very good asset to the team, even in SecCon:

The Problems start, when everybody picks LRF… whos gonna capture the beacons then? 

And thats exactly whats happening at the moment: You have a lot of LRF-Baddies which take their already UP-Jerry-LRF and achive nothing. That adds up.

85

The Empire one Yes.

 

The Jericho one No.

 

Without the Tanking difference between the Inquisitor AE and the Archdragon. The Guided Torpedo have more counter than the Desintigrator. And you have less risk to kill your allies with the Desintigrator than with the Torpedo.

It happened to me… Being killed by a Mauler or an Inquisitor AE which was in my team in SQ.

I have been killed around 3 times with own teammates now. Why are jericho LRF players so exceedingly stupid?

Friendly fire on, penalty for friendly fire off, what did you expect? lol (not that you could penalize it because players would fly into your cloud to grief you)

88

I always make sure that i’m not hitting my teammate while covering them… I’d expect them to at least not blow up torpedos in my face when i’m busy fighting an enemy

I swear if i get killed one more time by those brainless idiots i will start teamkilling every single jericho LRF on my team. I won’t even care about losing

Actually I already did that once… 

Im not sure if its the minor evil to let them live… I mean, at last they cant do the lemming in that ship…

You all are EVIL !!!

 

Hey Hey some of us Jericho “pilots” do have a heart !   AND some of us may be slow :crazy:  :what:  :smoke:  AND some of us can drop a :bomber:  load correctly.    What’s a problem with an occasion .05% wayward explosion (cloud)  MOVE !!!   … and didn’t you hear my INCOMING yell in TS ?

Actually I would hit you if I thought you’d need the help - you only take damage from the cloud, not from the initial explosion, so unless you’re in a situation where the cloud would kill you that little bit of burst damage on the enemy might just save your life. I certainly helped out a few guards that way by blasting some pesky inties or gunships off their backs.

edit: wasn’t talking about SQ, I don’t even play SQ

92

You sure snib? I thought the torps dealt full dmg to friendlies in seccon.

93

 

 

 

 

You guys do realize that the torpedo itself also deals damage to teammates in SQ?

this… this explains everything

Reading patchnote is too mainstream…

I wasn’t talking about SQ, didn’t realize you guys were, sry.

Yup !   

 

   Thats why I havn’t flown a Jericho LRF in SC since the very first battle as I heard the the screaming and some nicely placed words of my fellow teammate as he was sadly teminated long with the opposing player.     

 

   I think the Mauler with Heavy Blaster can be used as a pretty hefty gunship… (though it is a big target) but given you have to be even more selective in your placement of the torpedo,   I feel the overall support you can give is reduced to the point it may not be worth the effort.

Was bored last night in Sec Con solo, so Mauler time!:

Try this…

Positrons

3x Acceleration Coil in capacitors

3x Horizons in CPU

Cruise Missile as missile slot

Tychon charge for boosted torpedo

Was i effective? hell no, i sux at LRFs big time

But man was it fun…

My coils are purple and my positron’s green, and that’s a 1363 damage difference for the torpedo.  Coil’s are probably better IMO for sniping because if you get rushed your odds are better.  I was wishing I had positrons in that match, I was missing so many shots at range.

Even Jericho LRF’s can kill.  They’re also good at is area denial and flushing out campers.  When a second torpedo starts coming into an area ships get nervous, especially if they got hit before.  One of my first targets if I’m in an LRF, Empire or Jericho, is attack the enemy LRF’s.  EM Scattering doesn’t grant invisibility.

Holy Crap ~ **Newsflash** I think they finally fixed T4??

 

ERROR - can you confirm if the MM has been told to stop putting t5 enemies in t4 games?

 

Had stacks of just t4 ship games this last two days = great!

 

Part two - please make a training sim for q time so douches learn to fly & shoot & play objs TY

PS I can put the incoming damage on my HUD yes - but I also want to see my outgoing damage on my hud - this was possible before one of the manymany patches…can you still make this happen?
