Subject: Has the Falcon been given some oomph?

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

DO YOU WANT TO BE A NINJA?

Then I have three words for you. Team Flying Ninja

Alternatively, add me and we will be happy to tell you about ourselves.

I swear, the last time I paid attention to it, the Falcon was basically a mobile double-barrelled peashooter. If you started shooting at something, they had enough time to make a cup of coffee before they really ought to be going, oh is that the time, so sorry we can't stay old chap.


Now, it feels like it's shooting miniature piranhas at me, that want nothing more than to chew through to my ribcage. Via my face. Not to mention the fact it hones in on you like a woman on PMS who you just called fat.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Interesting imagery. I haven't played since September, but from my experiences the minigun has always been powerful enough. It'd be strange if they buffed it.

It's the same old Falcon as it usually is. You are either bad at aiming it, or your assailant was. It's got the most damage output and best range of any mounted turret in the game by the way.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

You just experienced the difference between a pilot that can't focus on a target and gives their gunners bad angles and a pilot that can focus and let their gunners finish their kills.

Out BR'd, kinda.

It's called the gunners having an unretarded pilot. Are you gonna start complaining it's OP-ness no.

No, actually I wasn't. I merely noticed something that seemed different to what I remembered, and asked for confirmation. Don't be a dick.

Thanks, brah.

No but the only thing I wish there was changed to the falcon is if there was a zoom option cause when your pilot is flying further away from the enemies it's kinda hard to get to kill them. And also I wish the bullet spray or whatever it's called isn't like that I find myself going after an enemie for a long time.

I suggest you take a long, hard look at yourself then try that phrase again, kid.

Thankyou, though, to the people who actually made the effort to answer my question.

Then whoever's flying you is probably disabled and flies 200m above the map where you can't shoot anything.

How it should be used

Sounds more like you met a gunner who knows how to lead their fire and control their bloom.
