Laser Cannon op against Automaton gunships

[Houd.ini]

I was trying out the laser cannon today and i realised it is awsome against Gusnhips. You shoots them at their engines and they explide in 3 seconds. Why is nobody mentioning it. Not to mention it kills tanks and tower easely if you hit them in the back. I used it in combination with the eruptir and jetpack and you can clear enemkes from ip to 200 meters.

Mostly because people have talked about it and it is been known for a while.

No one mentions it because everyone knows this and also knows that Quasar is pretty mid over all, let me explain.

Yeah, it's fun to shoot down ships, till you realize that it does almost nothing. Sometimes units on it die if you do it fast enough, other times they do not. At least with autocannon I can blast units off of the ship and have them die before they land.

Also on top of it quasar have a recharge time, which means you gonna be taking down 1 ship out of like 3-4 that come. This is easier if more than one person have quasar, but it's also easier if one person got EAT, which lands with two shots and allows you to take down two ships instead of one.

Taking down objectives, heavies, elites, is all good but so can you with many other weapons, like autocannon for example. On top of it many other weapons are also useful in other situations, mean while quasar sucks at everything else outside of taking down big boys, ships, and some objectives.

You may think that I hate quasar and you do be wrong, I love it but I also know it's not op and not even my first pick for most optimal load out.

It's good, but I like the utility the auto cannon gives me, and if you're accurate or just have stun nades, you can insta kill hulks

It's not OP, it's a saving grace given the atrocious need of a Hellfire bomb to destroy that tower.

I am not talking about quassar cannon but the laser canon. It shoots those damn gunship down in 3 sexonds if you aim at their egnines. With a full charge ypu can take out 3 of them in 10 seconds.

Jesus, I even forgot that thing existed. I heard it got a buff which is great, but I do not see anyone use it ever.

Can you shoot it down before the troops drop?

Though shooting dropships kinda sucks anyway. Most of the units survive even when you shoot down the dropship on approach.

[Borfoid]

You don't really need to worry about the gunships if you have someone with an AC marking the factory(s).

The laser cannon aint bad, but the AC outstrips it for heavy fire.

You get 10 shots from an AC and that's enough to completely cripple a large group of devastators or anything else before you need to drop behind cover to take a little reload time for another 10 shots. That's without factoring in a team reload.

The laser cannon also requires you maintain a lock and burn up the target, if you are decent with an AC you can hit the target and then repeat the hit at the exact same spot you shot originally while it's coming down from the recoil.

Laser cannon is a decent weapon, it's versatile, but it's not that good at crowd control.

They're talking about the gunships, not the dropships - I think anyways.

Not tried it for a while, if it can take down dropships in 3 seconds, yeah that's a big bonus... But I doubt it.

In regards to shooting dropships before the troops on them drop, there's actually a simple way to tell if they're going to survive when you shoot the dropship down.

If you shoot the dropship down before it slows down enough, You will kill all enemies on that dropship (this means you essentially need to shoot it while its still moving fairly quickly).
If the dropship has started slowing down, the enemies are highly likely to survive the ship being shot down (unless the blast of your attack also hits them in addition to the dropship).

laser cannon is ultra mid for me......i've held that thing on a devastators eyeballs for seconds and didn't kill it until my laser bot multiplied fire on it. It even seems you have to hold it on grunts for far far too long before they die. Not sure i've ever killed a hulk with it. Only support weapon i've killed a hulk on my own with is the amr. I've heard the ac can do it, but i must not be a good enough shot even tho i've been able to do it with the amr. The laser cannon abs needs a bit of a buff.....it's never going to be good at crowd control i get that, but if you do hit the lighter enemies with it...they should melt pretty much instantly. It's an unweildy weapon and that's perfectly fine......it just needs to do more damage. ANd at close range it's abs horrendous and i don't really know why. I've had multiple saw boys bearing down on me while i've got that laser cannon buried in their faces and they just waltz through it. Once they hit you, you can't bring it bear again....and that's fine. But it seems to do WAY WAY WAY inconsistent dmg.

Exploding drop ships can take out factories FYI.

Stun grenade and count to 7 while shooting its face

Tonnes of fun to be had with a laser and a jump pack :D
Eruptor pairs nicely, can create distance and pop them, shoot the underside of drop ships, makes light work of striders
scorcher nice option too of course
Laser for the gunships, cannon turrets, devs and hulks
And all from the top of a nice rock
To the skies!!
