I still feel like the Flock is one of the most OP pieces of equipment. Not only does it not cost any energy, it also counters the most weapons that any “weapon countering” module does. Even things that it should not counter, like Swarms. Vulture can be debated but it also feels a bit overkill.
But it also has one even more OP aspect to it that many don’t possibly know. It can also counter all the weapons that it does, but also ones that are targeting an ally teammate instead of the player with the flocks itself. That’s right, a build with a Flock can stand next to another enemy player, and counter weapons that are not even locked on to the player with the Flock itself
It’s not OP lol.
First of all, it’s designed to counter a lowskill category of weapons. Like, you can grab two nests and a trombone, hide it behind tank tracks and you’ll get an insanely annoying build that just… drives around and holds its mouse button for bursts of 800-1500 damage with autoaim.
Second, it’s still 200 PS, which is alot in some gamemodes such as CC or BfU. And it also costs 7k+ coins lol
Hawks, they doesn’t care about flocks, you can clean the skies ( area denial ) with them.
You can shoot down a lot of helis with them ( not all, they are some that are hard counters to the hawks ).
I love it when they put the flock at work with 0 effect, they will go down the same.
some while tunnelling vision i just have to park beneath them.
Other try to ram me ( in the other day it was like Rambo III movie ), the “tank” won again
Yup Flock is obviously OP.
Like you said it doesn’t cost Energy.
Homing rockets, Pyres, Hurricane, trombone. Were weak long ago. Were only kinda annoying back when Heli’s were released (as a brawl)
Nests are the only strong homing rockets now. And it’s basically only because of goliath tracks.
Counters to homing rockets.
Pretty Easy to dodge.
Cloak.
Just shoot the rockets as they come.
Go behind any cover.
Spark \ flash works.
And Maybe even Argus \ interceptor
And of course the Flock, which has great value.
I’m getting annoyed with how op kapkans are tho, at least they cost energy (4) but still good value for only 4 energy.
