Allow direction for eagle strikes

[Death a Barbar]

just add another arrow at the end so you can tell the eagle which direction to come in from

they are based on you , Strafing run is in front of you , cluster and stuff allways come from the sites

Strafing Run is straight ahead from the direction you throw. Airstrikes are perpendicular to the beacon from the direction you throw.

You can turn 90 degree and throw cluster/airstrike at your feets to have to go in "straight" line.
This is very risky trick however, so use at your own risk.

I certain won't mind the ability to aim it myself like with the EDF air raider tho.
Much better control over your airstrike that one.

Eh, nah. Adding an extra throw or some way to optionally add the extra throw will be killer in a lot of situations. Not a fan of it. Each eagle does have it's own line pattern (other than the nuke, I think it's just going to approach from the center)

Wow, lots of people telling us they only run 500kg eagle without telling us.

The eagles work fine. All run perpendicular to the player when thrown, except for strafing run which runs in a straight line. No change is needed here. Eagles already are better than orbitals, we don't need even more buffs for them.

except the strafing run, that one goes away from the direction it was thrown

Is this really that much of a buff or just a good Qol?
Beside orbital being ♥♥♥♥ and inefficient when compare to Eagles is mostly down to their insanely long CD for how little they do, so maybe dev should do something about that instead?

We don't need changes that take things in the wrong direction. You close the power gap and then make changes, not widen the gap and hope future changes fix things.

Strafing run allways flys into the direction you watched when throwing ( can throw it infront of your feet )
Bombing runs allways go left to right or right to left from your point of view.

500KG i think allways comes from left or right behind you a bit.

Eagle strikes are perpindicular to the direction thrown. Like a literal " T "
The ORBITALS are angled from the center.

Orbitals are (because they come from the Destroyers hovering above the center of the map) but Eagles come in a specific direction depending on which Eagle stratagem you use, someone on reddit made a diagram for how they work https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fsaam39hmxcqc1.png

While I don't believe a good Qol to be the "wrong" direction, but of course it doesn't have to be now, maybe after they do sometime about the orbital first.

Since we don't need more people screaming "Eagle OP pls nerf" after all.

Orbitals really do need base CD reductions. Eagles are just better. Multiple charges in the same, or even less time than most Orbitals, with the same or better effectiveness.

Yeah, a base orbital with 100 seconds down to 90 secs with upgrade compare to 500kg that can be use 2 time and 120 secs CD with upgrade, both do the same job, but one is of them is almost 100% more efficient than the other.

We don't talk about Air burst vs Cluster....that would be too unfair.

There really need to do something about the orbital if they want people to see it as a valid option.

Yeah orbitals need some rework. Either give them CRAZY damage, or cut their cooldown time by like 60%. Right now the only time I take an orbital is because I don't want to take anything else.
