Yes but that is why you burst fire all your weapons in this game, minus the Prowler Cannon in Siege mode (drools). Don't get the AA gun for airplanes, get the AP Tankbuster ones.
I don't understand your point about burst fire. Also, you wouldn't touch the anti-tank gun, when the A2G dumb fire missles rape everything, including air.

Because Skyguard cannon is automatic, just burst fire... The tankbuster gun is good for Liberators and Galaxies but crap for fighters. That is all I do with a Mosquito anyways.

No they nerfed ground AA, which is dumb because they didn't nerf aircrafts.
Again the recoil is so bad you can't hit anything with more than your first shot. Also, the fire arc is also the same as the default cannon which means in order to hit anything in the air you have to be parked on a hit.

The problem in the first game was that except for specialized ground AA which was ###### against anything else, nothing could even touch air cavalry. And then they nerf AA too? Stupid. I should've expected it though, we're talking about SOE here.
It isn't the same thing at all lolfighter. Before air couldn't do anything in a fight as AA was far too strong, so AA did need a nerf. However, it was impossible to know how powerful Liberators are because they were useless before. They are pretty likely to be nerfed.
GHAHHH I'm really struggling to get this game to run properly at the minute even on the lowest setting.
When I'm at the warp gate (even with hundreds of peeps and galaxies shuffling about) its fine with a smooth 60-70fps but as soon as I drop into a sizable engagement I'm lucky to get 15-20fps which making actual fighting near impossible and pot lucky that I manage to kill someone.
No amount of fiddling with the settings seems to help meaning the game looks worse that PS1 and runs nowhere near as well =/
Could it be some form of actual lag or is it my comp ?
My specs if it helps.

Aye I know its a beta and all but I though it might have just been running rubbish for my computer and not something everyone got.
I've noticed its slightly better on the EU server which made me think it was a server side issue.

Yeah me too, my Asus G50V laptop didn't even have trouble running Metro 2033 or anything else with beastly graphics, yet it runs pretty badly when I'm around combat. Game runs great outside of combat or in small conflicts through, so I usually just fight in the lesser contested areas for now.
Also the max units are incredibly fun to play this time around. I get the feeling I'll be playing this game for a long, long time.
I've been sticking to vehicle warfare for the time being as I don't need to run inside bases that way plus tanks are fun.
One problem with the max is that since there doesn't seem to be any certs needed to unlock them (like in PS1) there are WAY more of them in large battles and more importantly seem to take way less damage before dying thing time around which kinda take the fun out of using them since now a single random soldier or two seems capable of taking one down.

Nothing constructive to add other than I've just spent 3 hours of my life reading every page of this thread, and all I can say is a few of you have quoted his specs and not been able to identify his problem....
Overclock the CPU, 2.6Mhz is not going to do anything. You will probably need at least 2.6Ghz.
Megahertz was a typo on my part its 2.6GHz per core and it has 6, besides its capped at that and cant be over-clocked anyway.
The last few updates have helped quite a bit and it seems to run a lot better than it did before with only the spectacularly large battles causing it to chug.
Anyway I've been pouring my resources into pimping out the prowler which was going well until after buying all the armor upgrades I discovered to my annoyance that you can only equip one type of armor plate at a time (top, side or front) and not all together even through there is 3 tabs for it.
Which is just awesome since I wasted a pile of cert creds buying them all...
With A2A missles taking the fun out of flying atm, I've switched to Magrider as my vehicle of choice and it's still sweet for taking down cocky air vehicles. I have no idea if the Prowler and Vanguard are just as capable or not.

I bought <u><i>all</i></u> the armor at the same time before I discovered you couldn't equip it all together but currently I have the top plating mounted (for all the good it does) since most of the enemy fire I take would be from aircraft.

Prowler, in deployed mode is easy to kill cocky aircraft with. Skyguard is the best though.

For 12,500 Araxium, they are pretty much useless on anything but Liberators and Galaxies. The fighters are too quit and the missiles are too slow.

Apparently there's another huge patch today, although no patch notes yet (as per usual). I really wish they'd remember to post this stuff before they pushed the patches overnight; they're pretty good about engaging the community otherwise but patch notes are kind of a big deal.
If you're having trouble running the game I'd recommend getting an SSD and installing it there. After reading some promising posts about it on the beta forums I went out and bought one (since I'd been meaning to for a while anyway). It's made a huge difference. I suspect the game isn't caching much (if any) of the terrain and vehicle/player/weapon models so every time you move into a new area and new stuff renders it's pulling stuff off your drive. I had similar problems with Diablo 3 and spell effects; basically every time someone used a spell for the first time in a game it would freeze up my system for a second. That issue was also resolved by copying the game to my SSD. I never really thought of my hard drive as being a performance bottleneck outside of load screens but apparently its a big deal for large games that try to avoid them.

I bought <u><i>all</i></u> the armor at the same time before I discovered you couldn't equip it all together but currently I have the top plating mounted (for all the good it does) since most of the enemy fire I take would be from aircraft.
I wish the anti-air hand held launchers weren't so expensive as it would at least offer more of a counter to the millions of enemy aircraft clogging up the skies.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
For 12,500 Araxium, they are pretty much useless on anything but Liberators and Galaxies. The fighters are too quit and the missiles are too slow.
I use it in first person, hard to get used to but you get the hang of it.
If you're having trouble running the game I'd recommend getting an SSD and installing it there. After reading some promising posts about it on the beta forums I went out and bought one (since I'd been meaning to for a while anyway). It's made a huge difference. I suspect the game isn't caching much (if any) of the terrain and vehicle/player/weapon models so every time you move into a new area and new stuff renders it's pulling stuff off your drive. I had similar problems with Diablo 3 and spell effects; basically every time someone used a spell for the first time in a game it would freeze up my system for a second. That issue was also resolved by copying the game to my SSD. I never really thought of my hard drive as being a performance bottleneck outside of load screens but apparently its a big deal for large games that try to avoid them.

Just create a quick account if you don't have one and clicky the "GET KEY" on the right side.
One problem with the max is that since there doesn't seem to be any certs needed to unlock them (like in PS1) there are WAY more of them in large battles and more importantly seem to take way less damage before dying thing time around which kinda take the fun out of using them since now a single random soldier or two seems capable of taking one down.
Also fuzzmaster I sent you a friend request on US east 1.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I've been setting my certs for the Prowler, Max, and Engi despite SOE not having anything good yet. MAX units need some serious love in the upgrade department. Also are there outfits yet? Cause I could use one, or at least a group to play with.
