Phoenix and the striker needs upgrades

[War Barney]

It also does more damage per clip cos it fires so many rockets...

The striker is defeated by flares which everyone now uses to the exclusion of most other things (and its a brave, stupid driver/pilot that goes for the other options now a days). It might need a buff if it continues to be stymied after the lock-on mechanic tweaking in GU13/14/15 (whenever is arrives).

The phoenix is would seem to be fine. It suffers in very dynamic situations but then again, the striker suffers from situations with high cover and the lancer suffers close in where you can easily 'splode the user while they're charging their lazors.

The lancer... god help you all when people finally get the hang of letting one person designate targets for a four man fire team of lancers. We've been doing it for a while, but only when the squad leader barks out for a bunch of extra, lancer toting heavies.

I really don't know why people dislike the thing so much, even solo I love using it.

The idiocy and tears here are just utterly delicious.

Striker being inferior to the annihilator, fucking lol. Utterly brainless.

If you TR think lancers and phoenixes are bad, try playing against the striker.

There's a reason the annihilator was nerfed, and the striker is far better than it ever was.

Find me the guy who said that, I wanna slap him.

We were mostly arguing about by how much the Annihilator is worse than the Striker, and how it varies in different situations.
