What?!?!

You mean standing still out in the open, fixating on a single target is bad? I thought they covered that in the tutorial....

They worked like any other weapon. You rolled hit locations, it hit a target area and each shot had a chance to hit a different location almost identical to MWO version. The rules regarding LoS and indirect fire were a bit different though

I meant if they cost BV points or they were attached to certain units/equipment or something.

I don't know how bad they are in the group queue but in the solo queue....the only people that get killed by artillery are the ones that just stand still, zoom in and fixate on a single target.

It's not like either one are hard to avoid....as long as you see the smoke. Unfortunately, in the solo queue, most people can't shoot without stopping and zooming...and you can't see the smoke (or your teammates) when you're zoomed in.

But, I'm sure that was all covered in the "New Player's Tutorial." PGI wouldn't put something so devastating into the game without at least warning new players, right?

Or it hits you in the head, which has happened to my daishi a few times (its very rare though). When you go 53kph, even if you see the smoke you cant get out of it in time.

True, but I rarely get kills on Dire Whales or Warhawks unless they're standing still.

What I REALLY love to use them on are those elite sniper Spider 5Ds that just stand there and rely on their buggy hitboxes....
