Fix the Falcon

    Can we please get a fix for the Eldar Falcon ? Right now it seems very UP compared to other anti-vehicle weaponry. The Wave Serpent received a much needed nerf but the Falcon still doesn't perform the way it should.

    Agree. In a head to head with a predator the falcon will always lose. That isn't right. The pulse laser needs to be powerd up much more - which won't make a difference regarding infantry as it is already a one shot kill.

    the whole point of eldar vehicles is to move faster than the other ones and place yourself in a position others cant or have trouble attacking you from, plus your transport has tank killing guns as it is, if they buff your tank vehicle how the ever living emprah are we the other factions supposed to do anything in the game?

    Eldar skimmers shouldnt be engaging in a head to head fight. I love using those things...if anything gives you trouble you can strafe or straight up boost and run away until you can get around and take rear armor shots.

    Best is the agility...someone wants to melta bomb you, strafe or boost and squish. Melta gun hah, good luck catching me...better yet, strafe or boost and squish.

    Predator turret moving in your direction lol nope im outta there.

    Best thing is the Dcannon variant SOOOOOOOOO amazing, still fast and agile. Can one shot enemy armor while being up armored. Its pretty amazing.

    For the Falcon the main cannon can do pretty decent damage although it should have less armor than the pred but be balanced by putting out more damage ...although it should never be acceptable for it to go front armor on front armor cannon fight and win...use that amazing agility! Circle to his ass while only showing your front armor. At worst they will be turning and you get side armor shots as they get front armor shots.

    If the area isnt big enough for you to strafe em, boost outta there do a lap then wreck their booty armor.
  5. Is it supposed to be as strong as a Predator? Or weaker than a Predator?

    If this is the vehicle I am thinking of, I could very easily be incorrect as I am not extremely familiar with all Eldar vehicles, that is able to charge its main gun for an AoE attack then it does not need a buff on damage considering its serious manoeuvrability options and AoE capability.

    I have watched them be used to bombard a beacon so no one can stop it being captured. (Really wish the Predator could be used for that. I don't even think it's gun does AoE damage). Since its AoE is strong enough to one shot infantry units.

    It can slide side ways fast enough to squish infantry standing next to it. They can excelerate fast enough that a melta at point blank range, that fires first, cannot do around 10% dmg before it is out of range, no other vehicles can do that except the Eldar vehicles. And this was while it was standing still, before it hovered away.

    I had one circle strafing around a set of crates tonight, could get about 2 seconds of time in which to fire before it was moving again, so I could not really damage it.

    Personally with all the good things Eldar vehicles have in general, seeing the lose the ability to run over infantry would not be a bad thing. As no other race's vehicle can attain their top speed, acceleration rate, or manoeuvrability from a dead stop or while traveling at top speed.

    They are hover vehicles after all, so I understand giving them all of these bonuses. Unfortunately it seems their only negative is a little less damage than other vehicles, which is more than compensated by all of its bonuses that they receive.

    If we go from purely from crunch, a Predator with "only" an Autocannon would be in huge trouble against Eldar skimmers, especially those equipped with a Bright Lance. A battle against a Fire Prism would be hopeless.

    What they could do is make it so that Eldar vehicles don't instantly kill, but remove all shield & stun you by "hovering" over you.

    As it is now, I just really dont' like how "spongey" vehicles are, absorbing several dozens of shots from eachother... I'm pretty sure it's placeholder/rushed content.

    It's not tank killing anymore, they drastically nerfed the anti vehicle damage. Glad to see you are paying attention

    too busy getting one shot by eldar missiles lol
  9. Have you tried the Falcon? Its more likely vehicle worth only for a block of enemy route to be destroyed or transport if necessary. Its worst vehicle in game I believe damage wisely.
