The Dove

How do you guys feel of the Dove? I have been on/off interested in it, but on the other hand I would definitely not use it in heli mode (I hate helis I do not want to play helis) and even in that mode the mode it was “made to be used in” it’s possibly not that great of a weapon, because you can only target ground builds with it and any time you are unable to fight a certain kind of a build, you are going to run into said build 100% of the time so I imagine a dove heli is just a sitting duck that gets mostly no kills and gets shot off the sky by all the enemy helis for fun match after match

So that leaves it to be used as a mine layer, and while I have heard or seen a little bit of promises of it functioning ok like that, usually in the matches I am fighting Dove builds are about as common or effective as Punji builds and don’t seem to do much anything

Did they also change it somehow? I don’t see those forward facing hover Dove builds in the exhibition anymore where you can pretty much sneak up to an enemy and shoot the doves forward and blast the enemy build successfully without taking much damage yourself due to structural parts used at the front that absorb/nullify blast damage. That would possibly be the most “fun” way to play these

I use the Doves on both a copter and a caterpillar build (with those new legs). Playing the copter is fun; I use it primarily in Bedlam. I point the Doves straight down and carpet bomb opponents with them. It has a great surprise factor because nobody expects it. :scream_cat: (I’d post a film clip, but the forum is not letting me upload a video from my PC, and I don’t have a youtube account.)

The caterpillar build runs around the Bedlam field, spraying the mines everywhere in heavily-trafficed areas. It’s a satisfying feeling when two guys dueling each other unexpectedly run into the mine field. :smile:
