Ok so im gonna keep this short and simple. Lately I've been having trouble with the firebase. i understand its supposed to defend and protect. but when a tech three is planted right outside my base i cant do anything to stop it. whenever i get near a firebase BAM death especically when a support is healing it constantly. all i wish is that it was toned down otherwise it will cause nothing but butthurt for its victims.
Yeah they can be a bit annoying when outside a spawn, two of them makes things a real hair pulling moment due to how quick both of them will drain your health when shooting together. Sniper can counter them quite well with flak but sometimes the firebases can be setup in a tricky spot, all depends on the support and how smart he is.
Their are plenty of ways to kill a firebase. The Assassin's Smoke Bomb can blind them and you can kill it, the Tank's Product Grenade can blind them and you can Jet Gun them. I've never had a problem with Firebases, even when there are two.
I know there are plenty of ways to take out a firebase but they are still nuts strong and annoying when being shot by 2, especially when they are hacked, hard to reach, under a bridge and overhealed. Sniper's flak only get's thrown so far, add a gunner to the mix and it seriously feels stupid. *edit* yeah you could say "go assassin and smoke bomb them" but that doesn't always work, it's not like I sit on my arse and not try to get rid of them... Firebase damage is more of a front line killer then a support turret.
I use my firebase defensively. But most people dont, its so dumb to spawn, walk out of your spawn and see a firebase and a Support overhealing it right next to a hacked turret of yours.
