Re: This is getting to be too much *Rant-ish*

In Response To: Re: This is getting to be too much *Rant-ish* (vlad3163)


: Considering the size difference in this short (not that different) I see no
: reason why it shouldn't. You can take out a Wraith with a LAAG, and that's
: a heavily armored tank.

Wraiths don't have shields (even minimal ones) and still take a hell of a pounding. :)
That a LAAG can take out Serpahs isn't a problem per say, its sort of what its designed for, but of the ease of which they went down in these was perhaps a bit excessive.
These Spartans all just became bonafide Aces. 5 kills and you're Ace.
It was TIE Fighter syndrome. A mass cloud of impressive looking, but ultimately ineffectual whooshy things (and at least TIE Fighter are supposed to be cheap, mass produced and disposable. No shields, no hyperspace, no life support but reasonably agile, fast and attacking en masse).

Funny thing. The LAAG used AP rounds. This is actually wrong for what is meant to be a Light Anti-Aircraft Gun.
Anti-Air ammunition, including the ammo used in aircraft cannons, isn't AP, its HE.
High Explosive.
Aircraft are, in reality, very hard to hit with guns. So every hit needs to count.
