Lumber jack nerf or terrain damage nerf

(1/5) > >>

MC Trapski Dangerzon:
I've been in a few matches now where one goldfish will sit at range near the floor of the map and lob Lumberjacks into our airbag. Our airbag is perma-dead, their friend takes down our hull armor, and we barely touch the ground before exploding.

There is nothing to counter this. All you have to do is sit back at range and lob lumberjacks to win.

Yes, we have been trying various combinations against this tactic. No, nothing as worked.

Either nerf the lumberjack damage, reduce airbag repair/rebuild timer, reduce Lumberjack clip, reduce Lumberjack RoF, or damage on contact with the ground.

[EDIT] Just played with this combination in a match. Using charged rounds, the hull and balloon are destroyed almost simultaneously. As long as their armor is down when they hit the ground, they will die. Which isn't too much of an issue, seeing as the Lumberjack has 5 rounds per clip with Charged rounds and fired semi-automatic.

Commodore Phoenix:
A good squid pilot who knows how to use cover can counter a lumber fish as when its in range it will destroy the fish. Just need to find one and you're set.

Commodore Phoenix:
Also if you were playing against a guy called Xemco you cant counter the lumber he's just to good.

MC Trapski Dangerzon:
Can't remember who we were playing against. It was a team of Russians.

We played against a Squid when we tried this combination. The fact the LJ kills balloon and hull simultaneously on some ships is kind of ridiculous.

Please don't post balance issues here. The sticky at the top directs you to the right threads.

That being said... There are a variety of ways to counter the lumberjack. One important trait of that gun is its arming time. If you get really close to it, then it will do next to no damage. Use cover and height to get close enough. Alternatively, you can disable it. This isn't hard. Try running a Junker with a front Mercury. It has a longer range than the lumber, and it'll destroy it in a single shot. This'll let you keep it down, leaving the Goldfish pretty much useless.

Not to mention that the lumber has a tiny arc. If you move perpendicular to it quickly, you'll throw their shots off.
