Can we plz stop it with the kill x number of UAV quests
This quest type is literally dependent on your opponent not being a cheapskate and spending 40k on a uav.
Which is about 90% of the player base.

Plz just stop giving me quests that depend on the enemy team doing something they wont do because "reasons".

Meh multiple UAVs in the air each game. It was million times harder to get that Incursion and win that in past event.

Can we also stop events that derive their requirements from damage (damage/match-score/kmdd/etc.) as they're more about cheesing with a meta build and less dependant on actual skill.

Anyone can farm damage in an ATM-VEagle. Scoring a headshot and flanking require skill and tactics.

Scoring a head shot requires skill? ...wut? That's way more dependent on weapon selection and opponent stupidity than it is anything else. You need PPFLD for a good head shot, which usually means heavy gauss, and your opponent has to either be standing still or shut down, both of which require them to be bad. It's even highly dependent on what mech they're piloting, since some mechs have much larger head hit boxes than others.

Even though you make it sound easy, you still make it sound harder than farming damage.

Noticed a team that uses UAVs helps em win round. And the team that doesn't shoot them down quickly, can end up losing. Even without UAV quest.

Lol, no. ECM medium or fast heavy, or anything with Stealth armor. Most players are blind AF and cannot see anything without a big red blip.

UAVs get used pretty often in Puglandia so this one really isn't an issue (though having arm-mounted weapons to aim really high upwards does help).

I had several matches with 4 or 5 UAV kills. They really.stand out as they are released, BAP finds them, they are visually obvious and worst case if you see your team with missile incoming icons, there is likely a UAV.

I don't feel there is a shortage of them- the issue is a lot of people play zoomed in and don't see them and don't respond to the other signs they are there.

Most of the events with uav kills also have uav spotting requirements to encourage people to use them. As much as they are a credit sink- a well placed UAV gives a decent return in credits and xp, worth using if used well.

It was...one UAV. Paired with the twelve UAV detections that were required to finish the challenge I don't see how it would ever be a problem finding a UAV to shoot down.

i usually dont have a problem with it, and it was only one. and there were other objectives that require you to drop uavs. and thats ignoring the people who drop them anyways for the intel.
