Can we please change the snub changes back?

Or they can just use, you know, the horizontal strafe.

Please either tell or show me how you'd maintain comparable DPS as a VHF fighting a cap that's actually shooting back without vertical strafes.

On another note, it would be great if all the people who don't fly snubs could stop trying to weigh in on behalf of the people who actually do. Increased projectile speed was a very brief thing in the past and didn't work out well at all (hello 900m/s Flashpoints on Wyrms and Libbies). This is like me - someone with absolutely no interest in flying caps or, really, seeing them continue to exist at all on the server - barging into a cap-related thread and posting arguments for making cap guns hitscan across the board.

You don't need it, you just need to know how to kite, and how to position yourselves. You don't need to box. I certainly don't need to box to shoot caps. Just have people placed at one side, another, and the back, turrets take time to turn. Sliding, smacking reverse, evading in general works fine.

Also vertical strafing is really cheap imo, mainly because it wasn't featured in vanilla and makes the targeting not track at all, really ridiculous. If people need to rely on one tactic, then something is wrong. It shouldn't be anti everything.


Also shieldrunning - whilst annoying - is okay, just aim better. Learn to use flight tactics, engine kill to the side, etc.
