Are Sunderers OP or something?

[Almega]

No really since the maintenace patch I am being killed by sunderers rather quickly. Did the patch really make them this strong since I a in NC tank with shield armor and they rip me a new one in seconds?

[⚜ Ai LEX ⚜]

Yes it is. You Can outsmart them with MANA turret

[Konri_one (K_o)]

basically, one of modules increases fire rate to absurd lvls, only works on deployed sunderers, so unless you drive into ambush/deployed syndy you should be fine.

Abuse non-direct fire and field of view to hit suyndy and avoid return fire until they fix it.

In a sense, it can be enjoyable if you know how it works - and I have been on both giving and receiving end of this bug

so why make sunderers like this. Forums from other websites fin this really broken and very dumb that a sunderer can beat a NC shielded tank

[Konri_one (K_o)]

it is a not-finished upgrade that accidentally was send to live client, instead of test servers, they are looking to remove that soon, it is stupid, a bit fun sometimes, but I know how it can be annoying

Play peekaboo with them like you normally would. Even at the normal fire rates on the Basilisk I dont just sit in their LOF. Never know when a LA will come up on you and try to help defend it.

NEVER TAKE DAMAGE THAT YOU DONT *HAVE* TO TAKE.

Edit:

Yeah ok that doesnt work when they have two gunners. Youre toast.

Sunderers have a new module that buffs their rate of fire by 100% or more. Devs said they will have a fix next week

next week? it was supposed to be ASAP
I am starting to doubt it was added to live by mistake

[AshaMarie]

Basically it's an accidental release of a truly broken utility upgrade that claims to grant 100% more fire rate at max level while deployed. What it's really doing feels like 1000% fire rate so the slow firing, but hard hitting weapons will unload its entire clip near instantly and if you have 2 gunners, you could very well be hit by like 200 bullets in 1 second which will instantly kill lightnings or smaller/weaker transports. They plan to hotfix this next week so people will abuse it for least another 3-5 days or however long it takes to fix for them. I suggest fight indoors much as possible or play something else.

Doesnt matter. As soon as you peek if they have two gunners youre toast. Usually theyre driving around with an ammo Sunderer or ANT too.

I dont recommend tanking at all until this is fixed. If you cant grab a Sunderer and do the same thing, just play Infantry. Or not at all.

Yeah I dont think this wan an accident. This was to test it with more population...although its clearly broken as f.

[Neriken]

LMFAO .. the fact they are taking this long to walk it back ... shows how disconnected they are. Population has tanked since release ; and for good reason. Time to delete and move on..,.. that person or persons should be fired.
