The kill isn't yours or mine Kitty. It's just confirmed. If you are worrying about your kill count you are not trying to win hard enough.

It works out in the end. Everyone fires at the same people after all. For ever kill someone else "secures" from you, you do the same to someone else. I wouldn't let that worry you too much.

I can't find theb33f version of the meme, so here is a generic one.

yeah i know, i'm not really serious... ugh, half-serious
lrms saved me and helped many times, but since i often give them the best locks sometimes their support is so excess

Fire support is... a lot of things...

Among them is probably... Through means of utilising your weapon fire to the fullest, fighting in a way that complements/benefits your allies by intelligently overloading enemy priorities, constricting enemy freedom to manuever, forcing gaps in enemy formation or durability for allies to exploit (either go for allies and get blasted by me, or go for me and get blasted by allies, choose one), if not killing them straight. Killing should be your goal more of when it would benefit your allies more.

Thr difference between that and the frontline/assault/trooper would probably be a tanking component or active effort in reducing enemy attention to the frontline.

It also reduces crowding around with the rest of your allies, hence freeing up manuevering space, especially in confined spaces.


Basically the difference between effective fire support and just shooting is the tactical consideration.

My articulation seems off somehow, but I hope I got the point across.

TBH I don't consider range or LOS to be governing factors, it is purely a question of whether I can trade or not. Hunchback is fire support and has to be built accordingly, solely because it can't trade--low hit-points, no cloak, slow top-end, no JJs for extra mobility, all it can do is add extra fire on somebody else' target
