LETS GOOOO!

Fond memories of building ACs and taking my memory card to buddies house to battle it out on playstation.

Anyone Going to try and setup a HOTAS for Fires of Rubicon?

[Not that]

I can see HOTAS being fun in single player but the game is just too fast for it to be of any use in a pvp game mode.

In my opinion of course. Most of my experience is in AC4.

I remember For Answer pvp was exhausting because it was too damn fast. Based on the trailer, AC6 looks like a better balance with different speeds of the cores.

It will be interesting to see how this plays with keyboard and mouse.

[Not that]

yeah it was a bit silly, I don't mind a fast game but it made it so the only viable weapons in pvp were rifles (maybe the gatling guns too, but i'd consider those rifles anyways) because nothing else could hit a speed tuned mech.

I don't know how many people knew of this, but the speed of a missile, at its launch, and
the speed of the AC, as it moves, are summed (in Armored Core For Answer).

So, let's say the speed of the missile is '10', and your AC is standing still: the missile gets launched, and moves with speed '10'.

Now, let's say your AC is moving with speed '1000': if you launch the missile while your AC is moving with speed '1000', then the missile's speed will be '1010'.

What I'm getting at is: big, powerful, slow missile launched while the AC overboosts toward enemy equals... nearly impossible to dodge big boom, in the face of the opposing AC.

Assault armor was also used, in ACFA pvp.

never knew that, wish I could go back and be the tank treaded missile boat I dreamed of..

I would hecking love to play AC6 HOTAS

[TGN_AK]

I'll give it a try with dual sticks. I think it fits better than stick and throttle
