What vehicles do you despise, or feel need tweaked?

Post by pooty »

And no not tallking about whether something is OP or not.

But rather something that's kind of broken, clunky or useless.

And no not stock Scorpion -- we have plenty of upgraded variants.

Funny enough, most every vehicle seems to function the way it feels like it should.

My only gripe is the hammerhead and how if anything touches it, it spins around at mach fuck, making it impossible to aim, and that its machine guns have a very bugged firing arc. I'm fine with the spinning since that seems to be by design, but the machine guns are bugged as fuck. One time I was dueling enyo both in hammerheads, we were at the same altitude shooting the machine gun, yet he was able to hit me while my machine guns were stuck firing about 10-20 degrees below him. I've noticed sometimes they get stuck shooting below what they normally do. I think the mirage raptor has a similar issue with its guns, as sometimes I'm dueling another mirage raptor and they are shooting way too low, or I'm trying to hit an enemy flier and my shots are going too low, though its way less noticable than the hammerhead.

The Mino… the unregs are too frequent, sometimes I’ll get 2-3 in a row. Not sure there’s a fix since you suspect the speed of the canon projectile is the culprit. Nothing more frustrating than unregs fucking a good Mino run.

Anecdotal… the Classic Mino seems to have less unregs than the Omnitaur. Anyone else notice that? If that’s the case maybe it’s not the projectile speed (assuming they’re the same), maybe it’s the massive splash damage instead?

I've noticed the mino/megabadger issue. I hit a flier dead on with a megabadger or mino shot and it unregs. I do the same with the classic mino and it works. On MBMU, I've tanked a megabadger shot straight to the face while in my team's mega and took no damage and wasn't pushed anywhere. The shot was dead center on me and the explosion from it showed that I was definitely hit.

Hah. With the hammerhead you have to learn how to strike just as you emerge from the fog, or get behind your enemy. Once you get a hold of that then you can clean up. Funny you call that thing awkward, while for me that's a vehicle where I know with confidence that I'm going to kick ass and actually help drive the team toward a win.

Regarding the miniguns, they're good if you need to 1v1 another hammerhead but you cannot shoot up at all, so you have to climb. 1v1 hammerhead dogfights are usually just both of them ascending while trying to shoot the other (waste of time).

The miniguns have a cool perk in that they can shoot straight down. So if you are searching for a particular vehicle, like the Nova on d-junk, fly as high as you can, switch to 1st person view, switch to miniguns, and you can look down and scan for enemies. Nobody is looking for you that high, you may as well be in spec. Once you see them you can take them out quickly with your miniguns from directly above them. They often have no idea where you're coming from as miniguns usually don't come from right on top of you.

A lot of the 4wd scorpions have messed up driving mechanics... The Mantis and Tick come to mind. Like for example if I go in reverse while turning, the scorp does a reverse wheelie and strafes (since the front wheels are turned) instead of the 90-degree backup i'm trying to do. Or you accelerate and do a wheelie and now can't turn. etc etc. Or if you're in a long turn they'll eventually just spin out. Powerslides are super difficult, I can only pull them off in the Nova.

Bio Raptor.... It pretty much does nothing well except maybe kill minos. But I guess we need weak flyers too. Maybe it'd be better if it dropped a big-ish blob instead of the rapid fire?

Dark Paladin.... all bark and no bite. The speed is okay but not over all its other shortcomings. Funny how it's treated as the super vehicle on that pyramid map.

The Ballista.... It could use more HP, speed, or camouflage especially with now how everything else has been buffed. Back in the Omni 1.0 day it could hold its own, but not in our new environment.

G-police vehicles... I just flat out don't like these. I dont know why.

Mechs... They're awesome but they crash my friggin game!

Levi and variants... I pretty much stay out unless it's MassD.

Mini Link Tank... I don't see the point. Plus it's hard to tell it from a normal one. I just hop in and go "oh shit this is a mini" and get something else.

Shocker... It's weird that it's so small. A vehicle that small shouldn't be so slow and heavy. It doesn't make sense.

Wow, YEAAAHx10 put a lot of thought into this, and I happen to agree with every single vehicle critique he has.

The only tweak I want personally is to have the Reaper weapons on 1-2-3 so you don't have to cycle through weapons to use stealth.

The updated version was buffed up. 500 to 750 health, the more mottled paint job, and the weapon tweaked. Its range is also super long, and its twin beams are the most powerful on the server. Look for the updated paint job, some maps don't have it because it was also called sniper tank and not just ballista...
G-police vehicles... I just flat out don't like these. I dont know why.
Venom flyer is pretty sweet.
And who doesn't love the sirens on the Rhino...

But yes thank you for the feedback its all good.

The HH hasn't been updated at all, so there might even be mulitple versions. The original I found somewhere each minigun was a gunner seat... which might be an interesting variant...

The 1-2-3 thing takes a bit of code, but we could probably make a one button stealth (like the deploy on the levis..)
Mini Link Tank... I don't see the point. Plus it's hard to tell it from a normal one. I just hop in and go "oh shit this is a mini" and get something else.
There were a few link tank variants before I cleaned them up. One was 500hp and no lasers. The Mini was created for that role. Its really an odd duck.. if you want link tank without laser, link badger does just fine. But the mini does do well on DM style maps since the hitscan lasers make it less of a threat.
A lot of the 4wd scorpions have messed up driving mechanics... The Mantis and Tick come to min
Mantis is untouched by 2.0. Tick is a bit funky, since when it drains and engorges, the health, damage AND mass go up, so the mass affects the driving, but its a trade off for 900hp scorpion...that with a full web hit will take out a mino!

What if vehicles carried a limited amount of ammunition instead of the current unlimited amount? Imagine Mino running out of shells and having to get more.
