LR: Two-on-Two Discussion

[Serene]

Nix, Don't forget about the AC color. Most maps have shades of yellow, black, gray and afew dark shades.
Camouflage is a deciding factor in some ways too. Having to deal with 2 AC's at once, it's not very easy to have them both in the lock box.
Basically, you can't easily lock on to something that's difficult to see.

The strategy CZ and I used is a simple design based attack: The classic 'Kaliwa ka, Kanan ako' approach.
And it was difficult because we don't really have a fixed target and with the 'UNAHIN NYO YUNG PINK!!!' strategy marked on our team, It was more difficult because CZ's core isn't as armored as mine. The Spartoi's double lock feature did good for me because it let the wide 8 missile swarm divide among targets.

I think the Fugen FCS will be a little more useable now as well because missiles will be easier to use due to the quick lock on. Isolating lockons will be easier because of the vertical lock, well, at least a little better than small square boxes. Because flying won't save them much.

Speed and Aggression are the ultimate factors in 2v2. Too bad, my controls don't let me use dual rifles/machineguns...
