If this bug didn't happen I think g2a would be fine, but as is sometimes you just can't counter the ESFs even when they are hoverspamming (though a dumbifre to the face works if they get too cocky). This is coming from someone who spends 90% of my time in an ESF, but when I pull an AA MAX it really should goddamn work and not just fire blanks.

Bugs are bugs and shouldn't be used for balance, I agree on that. Thing is when a bug gets so bad that an entire defending force can't use flak at all then it isn't just a bug anymore. It becomes a system failure and those are massive balance problems.
No flak, no anti air. It snowballs past where lock-ons can do anything once a 2nd lib starts hovering. Maybe if MAXes got some kind of Walker as well as Bursters then we could have something to fall back on when a damage type bugs out and fails to work.

On these two, I agree pretty well. I just don't get the flak bug often, but when I do...
