Shot UAVs with streaks a couple of times tonight, in the process realizing that I should only fire half an alpha at them.

[Hemholtz]

for people with aiming issues (like me)....use lbx10 for the UAV...stupid pinpoint accuracy and mouse....

[suffocater]

Nothing to da for three days in the event, was finished within three hours with both UAV challenges.

PGI could you start the lance in formation challenge on friday? I got nearly no time on saturday.

Then you haven't been trying. I kill them all the time with them.

how many streaks do you have to shoot if half of them miss whatever youre aiming for anyway?

If you have not played with it before, look at your mouse sensitivity. The lower the value, the more sluggish the response, which is GOOD for mitigating little movements like when the force of pushing down on a mouse button makes your reticle move off target right when you fire...

A lot of the comp players (not all) have their mouse sensitivity down to .3 or lower...

[Marius Evander]

A lot of people also use a mouse with sensitivity on the fly adjustment buttons / settings so you hit 1 button it zooms you and changes your sensitivity.

Really i wouldnt bother with shooting down uavs i have severe OCD and im not bothering, earn more cbills than those uavs are worth in 1 premium time enabled faction play win.

nice

[metallio]

I think we should have had the UAV challenges flip-flopped. Way, WAY more detections required because we're right back to "not many being deployed" and for those of us that didn't play the first day of the challenge...there just aren't many UAVs flying.

[Cpt Contego]

Why are people so concerned with the UAV destruction challenge? At the very most you get UAV's for shooting down UAV's, no C-Bills, No MC, No Warhorn... Just UAV's It's really not a big deal if you don't complete that challenge.

[Rodrigo Martinez]

The UAV challenge only for quick play. Yeah, it's because CW is overpopulated.

[JonDoeIowa]

Just let us complete all the goals at our own pace, I get it you want us to log in lots of days.... but all you're doing is making me pick which days I don't care about.

No "challenges" on MWO are a big deal really...some are nice like when you get an assault mech and mech bays are nice because they reflect real money (a tiny bit) but really nothing here is something to be concerned about.

...other than that completing these things is all the game really has so...we want to?

chain fire son...chain fire... it taks FIVE total streak missiles to kill a UAV and they all auto-hit so.... one SSRM6, three SSRM2s, or an SSRM2 and SSRM4 is as close as you can get.

[James Argent]

Usually worth the half-alpha to not have to switch. It's relatively few matches I run out of ammo. Heat, on the other hand....

Streaks auto-hit uav's if they're locked on, in range, and nothing steps into the flight path. Five missiles is all it takes to kill a UAV.

seperate fire group with the streaks on chain fire. But really...is it that hard to hit the backspace...fire the needed number and then hit it again ?

[G SE7EN7]

Wait times seem ridiculously long, solo or group queue same story.

Fair enough

30 uavs is 1.2 mil cbills.

If that isnt a good enough reason ( since that can be earnt in 1 game of fp/cw) a lot of us have OCD.

PGI, why do you do a scouting challenge and have a 6 hour cease fire in faction play when the challenge starts? There are many players that can only play and complete the challenges when they first begin.
