I've been a TR since day one of planetside 2. I can't help but feel that the esf update is geared twards making the reaver the only bird in the sky worth piloting. Nurfing the rotary dmg and giving us more bullets is lame compared to initial hit damage. I thought TTK was gunna be more balanced as far as the guns on the esf, but how can it be when initial damage on the other esfs is higher which means they need us in their sights a lot less. Ever since gu 6 I've been mainly using lock-ons to destroy the other esfs which is hard because thats all I use and I hold my enemy in the lock on circle the entire time I engage whether they are close or far away. I sure hope you guys' don't mess that all up too. Sad days to come for esf pilots that actually fight other esf pilots. Might have to take up pod merking infantry like a noob.
