Banshee

<< < (3/3)

JaceBoojah:
Sammy put the banshee on the front of his ship just because we could not think of anything better to put while still grieving the loss of our dear friend the Artemis.
I am a Banshee hater, It's only real use is some fire stacks that wont even faze good engineers (sunderland) and bad hull damage.
Besides those small stacks of fire the Banshee is the WORST to balloon damage, WORST at component damage, WORST at armor damage, and is way below average at hull dps even though it is all explosive.
It is super easy to shoot as a trifecta gun but its not worth putting a man on it or lining up the shots.

I suggest always choosing flares over banshees
They turn better, they can dissable guns or take down balloons, they add HUGE stacks of fire, and the long reload time is great because your crew member will go back to his real job while it loads.

I personally love the Banshee- pretty much all ammo types benefit the gun. Its got fire potential without using incendiary rounds, which pull engineers from their duties in order to deal with it. While there are 'better' choices, I love the rotation speed on it, as well as the chaos that it can cause with greased at close, lesmok at long, burst on engines, etc etc.

NikolaiLev:
It's got a good range, good accuracy, great turning arc, good turn speed, a chance to start fires (making it a hybrid utility/lethal weapon) and a good synergy with ammo types.  However, it deals pitiful DPS.

I feel if its DPS was bumped up, and given a ballistic arc so it's harder to use, it'd be a much more competent weapon.  Right now, I enjoy putting it on the front of my Junker to be used at any range in a trifecta.
