This is an amazing weapon. I've bought it with certs, so it set me back a whopping thousand certs... and I have to say: "Certs well spent", I haven't regretted it for a second. Fine, fine, I did back when it was bugged to hell, but now it's my "Little friend".

That said, I'm sick and tired of people whining about it being "ZOMGOPNERFNERF!!!", how they so eloquently put it. It's not. It can be negated by using flares, or avoided by doing some slick flying, just like any other lock on missile.

I don't even consider it to be the best missile launcher in the game. For anti air purposes, it's probably the best, but for vehicles, the Phoenix is better. Even if you hide a vehicle behind a rock to repair it, a skilled heavy can curve a missile around the rock and blast your vehicle to it's base components.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say it's the best missile launcher in the game. Yes? And? So what?

Every faction has a best... something...

New Conglomerate has some amazing, hard hitting weapons. They have, hands down, the toughest heavy tank in the game. Those things can take a pounding and as that wasn't good enough, it also has the temporary shield. The Enforcer is a monster, pure and simple. And finally, their remote guided missiles are amazing.

Vanu Sovereinty have the easiest ESFs to handle in the game, even an anti talent pilot like me can fly one with only seldomly slamming into mountains and trees. Their small arms are overall the easiest to use in the game, no bullet drop, very low recoil and recently the increased damage drop off has been removed. The Magrider is like a ballerina (yes, yes, enter gay joke here), it's maneuverability is insane. Should I even mention the ZOE Max?

Now let's say the Terran Republic, amongst other things, has the best missile launchers... and of course, the forums are rioting. Ok, remove the Striker and give TR the ZOE Max, fair?
