How do you beat missile boats?

[SpaceGoat]

In 1v1 PvP, you see your opponent has loaded up a missile boat AC. You can bring any AC you want to counter it. What do you bring and how do you use it to crush that missile boat using scum back into the ground where he belongs?

Introduce them to a big explosive pointy stick.

Idk. I don’t PVP. But that’s how I handled Carla in the campaign.

Probably close equivalent would be the helicopter fight if it could QB. Pretty easy to turn an AC into a permenant aircraft that can indefinitely hug the skybox.

The answer is boot them untill Siege missles get nerfed in the very least. Only way to stop a siege missile is terrain, no terrain in the skybox.

The helicopter fight….so yeah. Big pointy stick it is.

Short version: abuse cover and bring your own missile launcher. Hide behind buildings/rocks, pop out to launch missiles of your own, then pop back behind to reload. If the missile boat closes in or hovers into your cover, assault-boost and then rip them apart with your melee/guns/cannons

If you are in a map with no cover, make your own by bringing a smoke jammer and at least one missile launcher. snipe/launch your missiles, pop smoke, put smoke between you and missile boat to jam missile lock. If the missile boat closes in, rip them apart with your guns/cannons/melee weapons.

If you do these right, you should do more damage to the missile boat than it does to you--meaning you win the 1v1

Now this sounds like a viable strategy. I was already thinking about building a mech with dual plasma verts and staying in cover constantly. I love the addition of the smoke launcher, but I wonder if it is worth losing a damage dealing weapon you could use to punish the boat when it gets too close.
