What can you do vs good Covert Ops pilots?

Tackle them using gravi beam and slowdowns, eat 75% of shields and send a missile. CovOps can do tons of damage but are super squishy without EB.

I’m CO,

Uh a tackler, he slows me down.

Use the Fed R8 Implant. Or Adaptive Camo.

Put Plasma web on them.

Kill them.

Done.

Emergency Barrier is good to avoid onehits but not required.

My Eagle-B survives also almost each thing and has no EB.

Of course if i have a free capacitor slot, then i use it.

Alex, is it that hard to kill a gunship captain, eh?

 

its pretty hard when they overdrive + engine overcharge back thru their entire team back to spawn :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s not the way to fly a tackler!

I use long range frigates against covert ops, a variety of ways to counter them

  • They start arcing you, reverse thruster.

  • Place mines around yourself, so they won’t get near. (Seems most covert ops stay away when you have mines

  • Snipe them with torpedo

Since I know exactly they will do that, my counter measure is silently dock my ship on their lrf butt, arc them and they won’t be able to reverse back since I’m blocking them with my ship, then they will eat their own mine field as well while I arc+orion to death, Then get out while eb is active. I do like lrf with mines than torp since they just speed up their own death. Works most of the time unless the lrf is moving around while arcing, that makes it hard to actually block their way. Some high rating ppl rage quit after I brake their first lrf ship ._.

Omg, why didnt I think of doing that SOONER. 

 

Attacking the “Engines” of a LRF and preventing it from RTing is pure genius, and tactical!

No. It sounds nice in written form, but against a good Covert Ops pilot it’s useless. If you make minefield he’s not coming close, he’s just plasma torpedo you into death + orion pulse laser. Or you can kill him, but you also die by your own minefield/torpedo. That’s my personal experience.  :fed013: 

I prefer double ECM, or ECM+Tackler tactics, it’s really effective. EM torpedoes are also good if you have a big EM resistance and you are almost full. And what I noticed, if you close to guard or you just have some support around you, Cov-ops are not trying.

Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my opinion.

And if you meet with YeahAlex, only thing what can help is praying.

semaphorism has often killed me with the ultimate doom combination which involves reverse thruster + mines followed by more mines / em cloak and suicide torpedo, so it does work…

Did you try avoiding target fixation?

If you think YeahAlex is the worst thing you can encounter in a cov ops, you will have a baaad time.

 

Because you can find him, me and Crystal Jack, all at the same time in the enemy team  :006j:

Well I practised it with Gizmo and I drawn the short straw :S I’m going back to practise then.

I prefer tillo’s long range frig method where i just randomly explode to his disintegrator at some point during the match. this way I feel like I died to skill instead of troll

Tillo one time killed me because he said “Eh, it was easy.” Didnt even see that leader line of the Disnergrator come, it just shot me to heck.

Good LRF pilots won’t follow you… they will hit you when you are not aware.

 

I love being called hacker and such :smiley:

Watch target from peripheral vision, wait til they fly in a straight line, aim and fire.

Shh… don’t tell them that!

Try dock yourself on their lrf’s butt and shoot, so when they reverse they will still stay still in one place. I use manual aim to lower player alert of my presence.

Derp… Derp… Boom!

 

Don’t you love that?  :005j:

Slowdown, eat 75% shields and send kinetic rocket, works most of time. If Fed8 implant seen, cloak, wait a little, repeat. Don’t underestimate powah of fed tackler! (just dont try pursue by all costs like idiot, keep distance.)

Try that against me and see how it works. Enjoy 5000 Dps & Disintegrator.

Someone sneaks from behind & activate all modules that i can’t jump.

Instead of going out of disintegrator mode i will use the advantage that i can shoot in any direction and just let this parasite on my ship making boom with weapon overcharge.

If they move around you it’s not easy to snipe them, but they deal less damage, but possible. If they are stay at one position they are dead.

If you want to be sure that your opponent LRF explodes, whoever it is…

Try ECM with Kinetic missile spam setup & Thermal resistance. (Storm Viking is best for this…)

You can’t kill a pro sniper with a fed tackler except he is low life or sleeping.
