Changes needed to the gimped gunner/tank jumpjets

Wish they'd apply this same thought process to the sniper rifle.

I don't see many snipers, and even more rare to see a sniper that is actually good at picking off targets.

So I would have to disagree on a "sniper nerf" :lol:

I actually didn't find it to be that big of a problem. Like Eka and the devs have always said give it some time and maybe it won't be so bad.

After we update with a visible meter, we want to keep the change for awhile and see how people react to it.

Well, hard to get a non-biased opinion. Everyone that will "react" to it probably mains tank or gunner. Since I very play every class equally I don't mind the change. I've noticed that when I play gunner or tank now that my escape attempts are futile. I usually fly in from the heavens with a ray of jetgun to the face, and then the escape fails when 2 assaults come in :lol: .

Gunner probably got nerfed more than the tank. At least tank gets to use his charge quite frequently, especially at lvl 2 and 3 charge; Gunner has nothing. In fact, without maybe a gold or silver slot of speed, gunner would probably be further down on the "most op" list. Maybe that was intended.

Will it based on cooldown or charge?
cooldown: doesn't matter how long you use jetpack, can only use it once before cooldown kicks in
charge: using jetpack starts draining the meter, regenerates while not in use

I'd prefer the charge meter.

Which means that if I want to keep a correct mobility, I would have to drop either armor or RoF for it...

And Eka, you can count on me to keep giving feedback on this

To be honest, a smart player can go without RoF for the minigun and with speed will allow you to dominate the map. However, I guess you want the rate of fire for the uhh... mortar.
Which I'll admit is nice, but I play without it (RoF) fine.

edit: i try to leave destroying turrets to assassins. Hopefully I have one because to me gunner just doesnt do well standing still as a target. Say hello to "headshot!"

I've played a lot with speed endorsement before, and I was waaaaay less effective when it came to close/mid fighting. I believe RoF is a must have when playing gunner. And if you take a look at most gunner's guides on Xbox, they all use RoF.

But then, each player has his own style after all

my 2 cents, I don't know if anyone suggested this and I could not be bothered to read 8 pages to be honest :X.
anyway in dead space (didn't play it) from what I understood he had his health bar on his back



blue glowing bar

anyway both the tank and the gunner have the same thing on their jetpack that is currently only for show, I propose that it will show how much jet you got left



As you see it's in a clear place that will not obstruct your view or change the game
what do you think?
