*Sigh* It seems people just don't like me at -all- whenever I defend my views.
I don't believe that what Dacapn and myself say about this AC will matter much to the 1-sided views RR seems to be giving Delta Mk.II. The community here doesn't seem to like thinking 'outside of the box', which is another way of saying 'trying something different'.
Dacapn = Very experienced OB user, well-known for tactics and OB control.
Myself = Adept EO / OC user, considered highly unorthodox.
That's the short summary of us both. Call me crazy, but when the first real test-run of Delta Mk.II against an experienced OB opponent works-out just fine for nearly 40% of the time, that is a -very- good result as far as I'm concerned.
Delta Mk.II is a complex AC that can prove difficult to pilot effectively, the tactics are hard to perform and require a great deal of patience, and yet it is still powerful in terms of speed, offense, and has the rare ability to control the battefield by actually rerouting the opponent's movements at any given time.
How many ACs can do that?
I like to defend my views here because I'm well-aware of what Delta Mk.II is capable of when piloted to it's fullest potential, and that isn't something I'm about to give-up because of an army of lemmings that say the YASYA isn't worth the use against all types of opponents.
It's not my fault some of you are minimalists with the same idea of how ACs should be piloted. As to what I have read so far, a whole lot of you don't like risk, intensity, extremely mobile close combat (which Kai is usually about, hence the trademark dislike for mid-range spam battles), or enclosed spaces because I sense that a good deal of you aren't willing to put forth that kind of effort into playing.
I'll have to agree with Dacapn though, there was a major neglect to the overall potential of the ACs I saw used in this videos, along with some clunky juking action that just about anyone can do.
It's odd though. I hear Grimlock say that "we must have different playing styles", and yet I get negative reviews on Delta Mk.II simply beacause it doesn't suit the playing style of other people, instead of looking at it's real potential. Unfortunately that tradition doesn't seem like it's about to be broken, and this makes getting any -useful- review difficult.
Honestly, I don't think anyone here even wants to give Delta Mk.II a serious review at all because it just doesn't suit their playing style. To many cookie-side views that gear an AC towards mid-range spam, no wonder everyone gave the previous model Delta a good grade, because it was mostly spray n' pray.
Where did the positive reviews and suggestions to using the AC go? I really wonder where they went. Probably gone since I'm not agreeing with the older RR members. Oh, the blasphemy!
I really don't like lemmings.
