Savage armor buff  

168 members have voted

  1. 1. Do you think savage armor should be buffed?

    • Yes so it withstands multiple rockets
    • Yes so withstands at least 1 rocket
    • Yes so it withstands a lot of bullets but 1 rocket destoys it
    • No it doesnt need any armor buff

The savage is fine the way it is. The missile spam, along with explosive rounds, justifies the crappy armor. The homing launchers reduces the amount of aircraft greifers who might be too afraid to fight people in a TDM or any other organized PvP event.

What about its weight, size, poor manoeuvrability, difficulty of use, inferior speed and vulnerability to homing launchers? I expect more from a 2 million dollar lethal aircraft. It's silly to make it only effective in contact missions and not in free roam.

And the short range on its cannon, and inability to aim properly (the entire helicopter has to be maneuvered around to "aim").

It's so f*cking heavy and uncontrollable you'd expect that it would at least be stronger than the Buzzard. For a helicopter based off the legendary Hind, it's not earning up to its name.

Funny how you say aircraft griefers while the only griefers have been the fools spamming the f*ck out of that rocket launcher. Seriously. Nothing but the Lazer, Hydra and Besra stand a chance, especially helicopters that somehow have the missile pull a f*cking 180 in mid air.

 

 

Without the rocket launchers, its aircraft grief mode all over again. The homing launchers are the counter to aircraft griefers.

You forgot to mention the increased amount of griefers that shoot players flying in unarmed aircraft.

Or players flying annihilator

 

 

Use passive mode.

The homing launchers keep air gieifers in check. The homing launchers counter aircraft griefers. Once you get better at flying helicopters and get use to the Savage, its not as difficult as you make it out to be. There is always flight school to help people improve their skills.

 

Since you want it to be used in free roam (presumably for you all to grief), the Savage should keep you above a 1 K/D if you knew how to get into the helicopter. And if the Savage is still too hard for you to handle in YOUR free roam, you should consider NOT being a cat and fight players in a ground fight. Better yet, challenge people to TDM's if you want to shoot people. I think it is silly that people are too afraid to spend their time killing other players in TDM's where we all know that the objective is to kill the opponent. Instead, the aircraft griefers (probably YOU) want a few cheap kills.

The savage has some of the best offensive capabilities of any vehiche in the game. It only makes since that a tradeoff would be low armor. Plus lets be real, NO helicopter can take an RPG head on, the savage doesn't need to be an exception.

99.9% of "aircraft griefers" are in jets, and so are untouchable by the homing launcher. I'd usually post a link to how to dodge them in a Hydra here, but everyone's probably seen that by now.

 

If you're on your own, and refuse to use anything other than the homing launcher, someone who has practiced the Savage a lot will get you anyway. All the homing launcher does is limit what you can do against groups of players (who clearly aren't being "griefed"), and it forces people to put in an unreasonable amount of practice, all just to get kills on people who don't know what they're doing. If they did know what they were doing, they'd know the Savage goes down with a handful of bullets anyway.

 

Utterly pointless weapon, complete failure.

Your post is 100# But with the amount of kills that can be wracked up with a savage the practice is worth it ! I mean, it's stupid how many kills I can get, and I'm honestly addicted to clearing lobbies .

 

I had a guy yesterday who joined our crew that was messaging me prior calling me a fggot modded pu$$y etc : I sent him a message to get in and ill show him. He was freaking out , level 330 played since release and said he's never seen anything like it and how he could do it .

 

If I could have explained to him how to do it, there would haw been another griefer born right that second , killing non stop. Of course I let him take it out and he crashed on his first assault .

 

To me, this is indication that R knows the true power of the savage and will most definetly not give it away. If you want 300-500 kills, it's Gunna take a stupid amount of practice .

 

I am over confidant I could challenge any player air to ground and I'm Gunna get you 15-20 times before you even have me smoke . A group of players on ground working together are easily separated by starting an attack off the radar .

 

The only thing that scares me in a savage is a "decent" jet pilot . But even then it's risky as the savage can tip right back, it'd be impossible for me to count how many jets have flown into rogue rockets I've shot . Lock on is good to chase them away, but free aim is best when jets are approaching .

 

If armor is increased it'd be a wet dream for me, I don't think it needs it BUT, I'd take it :) just like when the buzzard had auto lock no matter what. When they added "homing off" I probably played for 10 hours that day. Keep in mind these where the days without the homing launcher . Exciting times that was .

 

Be thankful they slowed those rockets down cus that was way worse then the armor problem y'all have today.

 

Aslong as you keep flying nonstop and teach yourself the different movements , all ground players don't stand a chance period.

 

Again, R is not going to give this away because they are already OP as it is, but I promise it'll take 400-500 hours to completely figure it out , once you do, it's a legit "god mode".

 

So u want to kill in the savage just keep practicing . And if you can't get more then 5 kills in a buzzard you most definetly will not get 2 in the savage . Keep in mind also that the fcn savage is huge ! And you'll smoke by crashing and police more then other players .
