Who want to bet one of the future Epsilon missions could have an expanded verson of this briefing: "Welcome to San Fransisco, Proselyte. I've chosen you to oversee and protect one of my most important projects: a weapon able to crush any opposition to Epsilon, the Psychic Dominator."

That mission should happen when protecting the Mental Omega Device

Which may or may not exist

O well at least there's one involving a psychic dominator though

 

Uhm, which one, please? I don't remember seeing one amongst the Act II Coops which have been released.

A little side note, A buff to the Abrams' tank lasers would come a long way in making it a viable weapon to use against tanks, because now it's just filler in between cannon shots, useless little to no damage filler.

Those lasers are never meant to be for tanks. They're for people.

 

I don't even know why the Abrams would shoot lasers on tank as well. They used to only use it on infantries in 3.0

Good question.

 

Why does the Abrams' fire its cannons on tanks?

[Handepsilon]

Obviously because those cannons are meant for tanks

[CLAlstar]

Its a slight damage boost. I personaly like it, improvement to their DPS is always nice.

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

All 6 laser shots in between cannons don't reduce a single health block from a Halftrack.

Last Act II mission: "Babel" gave me a big hint about that

And your point is..? it never meant to be used against tanks. It is how it supposed to be.

 

And It won't slow down the cannon ROF so why not?

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

My point is if it's not going to do jack shit then it's unnecessary and should be either removed or buffed.

Just enjoy the lasershow. Those little bits of damage have the potential to save your skin in tight battles.

It's not going to do jack shit to tanks. It's there for infantries.

Same as how Abrams' cannon is not going to do jack shit to infantries. It's there for tanks.

By having both, Abrams is a versatile tank capable on battling against both other tanks and infantries.

 

Basically in 3.0 it was functioning separately, when targeting tanks, Abrams only use its cannon. When targeting infantries, Abrams only use its laser.

But in 3.3 now both functioning at the same time to either infantries or tanks, with no penalty to ROF of either weapon.

 

tl;dr

 

The cannon is there to fight against tanks.

The laser is there to fight against infantries.

If you're expecting the laser to be effective against tanks, you're doing it wrong. It's there for infantries in the first place.

It's just that both weapons function at the same time to any target in 3.3

[Shelbythetriagularsquare]

I have to admit, I do love the lasers, I really do.

 

Aeroblaze is my favourite because lasers (Also really good voice over)

 

EDIT: Your response came in when I posted this so yeah.

 

I just believe that because the Abrams' has the weakest hull of all T3 weapons (Tyrant is excused because it can drill) the laser should do a bit of extra damage against light vehicles, I do not want it to be a game changer, just lasers that do more besides look good.

 

Also yeah, it gives it the upper hand when dealing with infantry.

Maybe Abrams need another buff: AA weapon, that way it's a true versatile tank

 

Cannon: good vs armored unit, bad vs infantries, incapable of targeting air unit

Laser: good vs infantries, bad vs armored unit, incapable of targeting air unit

Missile: good vs air unit, normal vs armored unit, normal vs infantries

 

I would say Abrams really seem underwhelming since its stat is pretty much spread out and thus have no specialty. Average damage against everything, average armor rate, average speed.

It's just really versatile.

So... what's the point of Aeroblazes after that?

Aeroblaze is still the one you want to use like against kirov/quetzal/wolfhounds. The missile on Abrams is only average on damage (just like its other weapons) which only as effective as say like, 1 GGI.

[X1Destroy]

The laser can quickly kill terror drones and all other suicidal shits. It is not useless.

Abrams have been buffed alots. In 3.0 it was one of the weakest tier 3 units in the game. Now it have more health, can do hit and run with faster speed and longer range.
