Nah man, it's just a completely new mechanic that makes a race stupidly mobile, able to ignore cover, and hard as fuck to shoot accurately with the weapons we're given at the speeds they're moving. We all just need to L2P and GIT GUD.
The hawk is utter bullshit. I was getting killed well out of the effective range of my bolter gun, meanwhile the hawk was melting me in 2 seconds, from across 2 points! Not even an exaggeration. WTF is this?
Make hawks "equal" to the other races. Either make Orcs and Marines "airborn" classes able to fly around like birds forever like the eldars OR make the hawk do jumps thru the air for 2 sec like other races can.
Swooping Hawks don't use jump packs they use anti-grav lifters and vibrating wings to actually fly. The downside is that their armor is made lighter which reduces it's resilience. This is reflected in game with a reduced toughness for the class.
Yes they are suppose to hover when aiming like that, they could do it for the whole game if they wanted but only novice hawks really use it a lot. The simple fact is, just a couple shots from your pistol randomly in the air and it will wing clip them which grounds them. In TT and lore they can fly.
That's total and complete bullshit. It takes far, far more than a couple of random shots in the air with a pistol. If you want to have any legitimacy what so ever at least state the facts as they are currently in game.
