True but how many people are actually looking for a UAV and are in a position to take it down?

Pro Tip: UAV is the giant blinky in the sky. Shoot it down.

Pro Tip 2: Rocks are totally OP, hide behind them, and the evil LRMs can't get you.

The reason it's not that good is because indirect fire takes a massive penalty to grouping, rendering it nearly worthless. Lots of damage that's scattered around, and much of it lost.

UAVs are awesome strategic tools that can turn the tides of fights in claustrophobic areas though, so they're good even despite this.

.... if they'd include a module to make the UAV treat targets as LOS or even TAG them, holy crap would it change things.

And how many UAVs do you see in solo-drop pugs? I saw 0, unless it's my own UAV.

There is a reason that even in organized 8-mans, LRMs are seldom massed.

I am taking a UAV almost every match these days. Pretty easy to coordinate your PUGs when you light up their radar for them. It also tends to give your LRMers some targets that can be hard to acquire without getting punched by a PPC.

I use UAVs nearly every game. And yet, I can count on one hand the number of times it has been shot down. No one ever notices them.

Mine have never been shot down.
I try to launch behind the enemy group though.
