[quote=“jollyRacer;159870”]@Jesus Hey buddy, I see that you’re waiting impatiently for Aimee like I am too :slight_smile:

The majority of players doesn’t like / can’t use a sniper properly therefore an Engineer is preferred.

I expected aimee. Past tense. I dont expect anymore from this game i just like to hang out on the forum. I personnally think they are gonna disappoint us very bad and make a carbon copy of vassili

in the game files the mercs are divided in Covert Ops, Engineer, Field Ops, Medic and Soldier.

Wow, that’s so much Enemy Territory style.

IN the right spot and right conditions I think it might give an advantage if the person has a microphone and is calling locations in real time so say a rhino knows when to review up mini gun to strike In A choke point with minimal Alert time. Providing it doesn’t Alert the enemy like redeye ir or heart beat sensor does[/quote]

Which means she has to look into the camera and can’t fight. Which makes her more useless than Vassili. He can shoot back when spotting enemies.

To be fair she has a screen on her right arm. Maybe she can switch the camera on and it appears in one of the corners of the screen, and turn it off when she needs to.[/quote]

I hope for her sake that’s what it will be or something else interesting.

@K-smooth and so what proxy will still get on rotation its not gonna change anything people also complains of the nab over use of vassili when he is on a rotation they also complain about nader and fletcher. That still make no fucking sense as a reasoning. They always moan about something its never gonna change. You gotta be pretty fucking deaf to not hear mines. Nabs complains about those, Nabs will always complain about everything

If it’s taken them this long then it oughtta be good. Same with the Phantom rework, which if it happens, I’m excited for.

Maybe she’ll get the “Parisian Parking” ability.

The ability allows a merc to cram the EV into really tight spots, doing AoE damage to its surroundings. While parked, the EV is immune to damage itself, but is also immobile.

[quote=“jollyRacer;159876”]Sniper Users - Vasilli, Red-eye ( 2 ) - *Sparks is a special snowflake.

We needs more snipers and more female mercs. So Aimee.[/quote]

Snipers are not a game essential class. Free rotation confirms this.

Regarding needing more female mercs; that’s funny I’ve always considered DB to have too much female mercs compared to male ones. I guess that’s because I tend to play with female mercs more, which by the way is not a deliberate choice. I just prefer their abilities over those of male mercs.

@Laionidas I can see why you say that Snipers are not a game essential class but if that’s the case, the game should only be filled with Engineers, Medics and Assault mercs shouldn’t it?

Having a great sniper on your team can make a world of difference. Previously on a DirtyBomb competition, Taimou from BzNs was the mvp for being such a crack shot. It’s from the DBNation Finals.

That’s how powerful a sniper is, my friend. You’re definitely mistaken if you think that snipers are not essential.

Really, referring to a single player from a top level competitive match says absolutely nothing about overall class balance or importance.

Also, there’s a distinct difference between being able to contribute (effectively) and being essential. For example: music, culture in general, they all contribute greatly to quality of life, but in a survival situation, you go for the essentials like food and shelter.

A good sniper (which by the way is pretty much a contradictio in terminis in pub matches) can win a team a game, but you can still win the game without one. Winning the game without a medic on engineer is a whole other story.

Talking from experience, it’s much harder to win without an Engineer or Medic (or in some cases with completely incompetent engineers and medics, hardly a difference). Nice that they let me top score playing exclusively as Red Eye with the GSR though. He is medic, engineer, and recon all in one it seems when I’m in those games lol.
