[@hawk9mm]

@@sinteleon Still a dumb mechanic, sorry but an AP round does not suddenly lose all velocity and penetration capability just because it hits a sacrificial plate of armor, it doesn't work that way. Especially if the thing behind the armor is flesh and bone, if an AT rocket can kill a TANK then "realistically" the hot jet should shoot through and cook the thing on the other side of that armor plate, full stop. Clearly it shouldn't require 2 nukes just to kill one medium enemy sorry that's not fun, clearly AH screwed something up and made those plate equal in thickness to a 20 story building.

Was playing vs bots with this on Shelt yesterday and LET ME TELL YOU putting this near the top of the hills gives you insane sight lines. I was supporting all my scattered teammates and also sniping cannon towers from at least 400m out. That being said “people please ping hi priority enemies for your squad, my eyes were starting to hurt from squinting, trying to thread the needle on the big boys from 300m out

[@colehaney8836]

this this is awesome, i hope we get more emplacements. Id LOVE a laser cannon one, either like 2 beams like how the HMG emplacement has 2 autocannons or, even better, one enormous death ray. id love a death ray emplacement.

[@reidcacaro2919]

I really hope they don’t nerf it, it helps a lot with max difficulty. If they do nerf I hope it is only increasing the cooldown or maybe the amount of ammo. I think they will keep it though cause the illumanate are already pretty tough and when they add more enemy types to them it will probably be a lot harder. I think they learned their lesson when it comes to nerfs and will be cautious to change it

[@ThePackman627]

I don't think they will nerf it, it's got enough ammo, and the biggest thing is the slow turning radius.

glad im not the only one that thinks overseers are too tanky.

[@BassZombieLP]

Actuely no they have plate armor that is seperated from they lifepool. Thats why crossbow, purifier and all fast firing guns work well against them

[@ZayP730]

@ they shouldnt take anti tank gun shots and rockets to the chest without being damaged

@@LetY-k6r yeah but the jetpack or head is hard to hit with the purifier. Still gonna stick with it since it seems to be one of the best to use so far

[@norsehorse84]

They arent too tanky. It's that their armor doesnt affect their health pool, so using literally any light armor pen weapon with high fire rate and aiming at one spot on their body (usually the torso) finishes them off really fast.

[@singed420snowinit9]

Its basically a Recoilless Rifle, EAT and Quasar Cannon that you cannot move. So while it is strong, the downside being that you literally can't move with it is quite a big one.

[@h.c5750]

Yea but ya get one every 160 seconds or something

[@kristatum6688]

I take anti tank the mortar and autocannon sentry to bases and they all fall with proper placement and when I'm outta ammo the cooldown is almost done. Plus arc thrower because through cooldown time or I'm just running to the next spot I can kill patrols and anything from a hulk down with the arc. I never had more fun with the bots until the anti tank Even clutch calls like there's a drop or breach just get distance in a clear spot and throw the mortar and anti tank and just start blasting its so fun and viable in every faction

[@colonelsouffle3042]

You exchange the ability to move for the ability to fire off rapid follow up shots that you straight up cannot with RR, EATs, and Quasar. That is a worthwhile tradeoff considering you need to stop to reload the RR anyways. Edit: spelling

[@glens2019]

Until we get team reloads without the reloading needing to wear the backpack, this seems like a pretty good alternative.

[@harmless9336]

Unless you glitch the new shield you are also completely venerable unlike the other one which slightly protects you. Was having fun blasting apart the fortress when i turn to a rocket dev shooting a full burst right into my face earlier today. Its hilariously strong but its weaknesses are definitely something that always needs to be accounted for.

[@fourtii8707]

Because arrowhead logic as usual

[@kimemaru7650]

They have shields that will tank a shot that damage amount > their hp according to some. Not sure

[@flexgalaxy1268]

I think it was discovered that whilst Overseers have "light" armor (I've taken them down with a basic Liberator), their armor essentially has their own health pool that's independent of the Overseer's health pool. So, you need to "strip" their armor off with high fire-rate kinetic weapons. Explosive weapons like grenade launchers/explosive xbow/etc. get around this and typically bring them down in 2 hits. All 3 of the machine gun support weapons rip through them real fast as well. Worst weapon you can use against them is a railgun, unless you headshot.

[@beeofwulf]

it's the super crack they're feeding those things

With enough AT cannons you can do the defend walls missions on diff 10 for bots and illuminate without having to kill a single normal enemy, just shoot down the drop ships before they drop. And you have 4 strategem slots so you have a backup HMG and mg sentry if anything did manage to drop

[@Davidthegreat93]

Stuff like this is proof that arrowhead has the ability to make fun weapons that feel good to use, we just need to keep giving them feedback, negative when necessary and positive when necessary. Glazedivers are going to glaze this weapon the same way they glazed the crappy weapons and arrowhead won't know the difference, and that's not helpful for making HD2 a fun game. I hope the devs see videos like this so they can see what their players really want.

[@Bergamont45]

Never been much of a fan for emplacements, but this one won me over in a single match. Pure fun and capable of turning a bad situation completely around.

[@hotpenguin607]

I thought it was kinda overtuned until u mentioned HMG emplacement. When I think about it, the HMG empl is also very impressive as it has 300 rounds, and it is extremely accurate to the point u can snipe across the map with it as well. It is not entirely fair to compare AT empl vs HMG empl in a vaccum because u never bring only ONE strategem to a mission so I decided to test 3x sentries + HMG/AT empl loadouts vs diff10 bots, and it turns out they are just as good in most cases 1. HMG empl + AC, Rocket, Mortar sentry: removing gatling lasers under a FS is easy enough, but killing tanks and fs will take a while, nothing else are remotely threatening. 2. AT empl + Rocket, Mortar, MG sentry: hulk, tank, fs aren't threats, but it takes longer to delete patrols, devas, berserkers. Would like to save those shots for destroying turrets, bot fabs i can aim at, etc Proper positioning (place further away from enemies, near max range) keeps all sentries and emplacements alive, so the slower speed on killing med/smaller enemies or heavy units aren't an issue for both loadouts. So after testing, AT empl doesnt feel that much more oppressive when I compare it to a loadout where I run HMG. However, the sound design of the AT empl definitely make me feel like it is stronger. Kudos to the artists at AH on this one!

[@Noobish_Camper55]

Overseer HP pools are wild. I swear they tank better than a harvester.

[@mr.hi_vevo414]

They have reactive armour that soaks up high damage rounds just as well as it does small arms fire. Meaning, you need more gun, not bigger gun. The gun guard dog will shred through em in a second or two.

[@Grumpy1174]

It's the shields. They're actually pretty weak if don't hit the shield, but all the shields seem to have the same health pool across the board.

[@devindoge5510]

it's so weird to me that this entire anti tank round takes so long to kill an overseer compared to the crossbow that can 2 tap them even while the shield is up those guys must have weird dr flags or something cuz they just don't die sometimes

[@Repose_]

Its got mostly ballistic damage AP6 than explosive damage thats why.

[@Arkar-pl9ku]

So the thing with observer armor is that it’s not connected to the main healthpool (except the head) So even if you hit them with a gun that does 99999999 direct damage, it won’t kill them in one shot (unless it’s a headshot) Explosive damage bypasses their armor and hits their main healthpool

[@sevbait]

​@Arkar-pl9ku thank you, I was baffled as to why it takes so many auto cannon shots vs 2 crossbow.

[@gracecalis5421]

It's ablative armor. That's why MGs are preferred against them.

[@ronjonronald6645]

It takes me back to the field gun in BF1, definitely the highlight of the warbond for me

[@Gee0F]

Small shields on the overseers means they concentrate all power to that section. Giant dome shield has like 80% of the total shield being wasted protecting the wrong side. That's how I logic it in my head

[@lorddeathofmurdermountain76]

if you notice you cant see through their shields while you can see through the harvesters mind you harvesters are mining equipment.

[@StrangerOman]

Autocannon, but on steroids. Nice.

[@SadTimesULTRAKILL]

Hey btw I saw you aiming for the drop ship's thrusters at 5:51 but, if you didn't know you can also 2 tap the main body of a drop ship with the emplacement as well. Which is more ideal because, it guarantees all the bots on the ship to die, where-as you only have a chance to kill some when aiming for the thruster.

[@josephxp96]

I’d love a emplacement that shoots a napalm shell instead of a flamethrower emplacement.

[@穎-z4p]

I wish we can get a mech with this amazing gun

[@connertomaterhater6691]

Funnily enough the mech in HD1 that has the AT turret also has the flame thrower turret so this war bond would have both of its weapons.

[@ImJackalBTW]

That would be the lumberer mech with this cannon and a flamethrower

[@qwertyq2884]

Napalm Barrage + AT-Emplacement from 60m away to 2 tap everything too big to die is my favorite combo on Terminids in the entire history of this game. Ridding the map of Shrieker Nests and excess Titans without sitting around waiting for my Quasar to cool down or my EATs to come back up reduces downtime on bugs so drastically I love it to death. My loadout finally feels well rounded with this thing and its consistency

[@Xenotork]

Just for those wondering, Armored overseers have ERA plating. their lv 2 body armor pieces have their own health pool seperate from their main one, apart from the head which is lvl 3 armor. All illuminate unit shields have the same 1000 health. The ship shields have 2000. Explosive weapons are best used against the overseers, as they are exceptionally tanky against direct damage. The emplacement is a kinetic damage version of the EATs, hence the lack of one-shotting fabricators.

[@BattlerEvil]

Big Battle Tank Cannons with Autoloaders are literally not autocannons. What makes this thing an Autocannon is its fire rate IMHO, it really is a fire rate thing, faster firing cannons are usually dubbed Auto-CANNON.

[@dog.b74]

The fact that it doesnt one shot both variants of overseers is absurd imo

[@maizen1403]

It's their shield mechanic and high hp. High dps like machine guns work better against them rather than single shot high damage (unless You destroy the shield first)

[@dog.b74]

I get that but its like shooting a mosquito with a salt gun and it walking (or flying) it off

[@-nyon-6108]

Yeah their armor should relay more damage to their health pool. Now it's just weird that unless their armor is stripped they won't take any direct hit damage even from an anti-tank weapon.

[@norsehorse84]

Yeah, funny enough, Overseers go down much faster with non anti tank weapons. They're definitely not overtuned. I personally like the idea of the Illuminate being a faction where anti-tank is actually not just something you are encouraged to spam, instead opting for consistent damage over high burst heavy armor pen.

It's ablative armor. They only have ~400 HP to splash which ignores their armor plating, but even though AT rounds like this obliterate their armor they do nothing to the health underneath, so it takes 2 shots (more if you hit the shield, it's the splash damage ultimately killing it in both clips). Whole point is to push players in the direction of rapid fire weapons that don't "waste" damage on overkilling the armor layer.

If they're still attached and haven't been dropped from the carrier they will be destroyed too.

I think this needs a partner-reload type situation where instead of getting a faster reload/firing rate? You get a faster turn rate. Not that anyone would want to do it or should do it- but it'd be funny.

[@ShorttEclipse]

well If they plan on giving us more emplacements stratagems, they should add a ship module that allows emplacements to rotate a certain % faster

have you seen the "announcement" from dauntless, a very laughable way to try and get players back

I feel like bile titans should require 3 headshots from this thing instead of 2. I love how strong the weapon is but at the same time i don't like seeing max-tier units turn into trash mobs now. Edit: Hulks should still die from 1 shot trough the visor, good aim should always be rewarded. Bile-titans on the other hand don't require much though as their weak-spot is their entire head. I think they should make them take extra damage when their mouth is open, allowing you to almost oneshot them with a well placed EAT or recoilless round and then killing them by blowing up their bile sacks with your primary

Nah, everyone needs to say it sucks so they buff it. We all know AH doesn't test any of their game anyways

tbf for this beefcake of an emplacement i can accept a 30 second or so nerf to its cooldown and itll still be really good

[@XxFusionsk8rxX]

No nerf. It feels good as is. Slow turn speed. High damage. Not too OP.

[@guille5959]

Enjoy it while you can cause a nerf seems probable in the future.

[@Nathator97]

this thing is way too OP. Just today I played a level 10 blitz mission. In the first minute of the game I destroyed the entire Bot Fortress (yes the entire thing) and i just sat near extraction and cleared every single fabricator on the map. Easiest super helldive of my life.

[@Aflay1]

Blitz mission isn't often too hard to begin with, unless of course, your friends land you right on top of a bot drop or a stratagem jammer.

[@thebigenchilada678]

Wait till this guy learns about the Recoilless Rifle.

[@Cheezdealer]

@@thebigenchilada678yeah, recoiless with a full resupply is still 26 shots, albeit much slower.

[@mix7893]

What you experienced, my friend, is a lucky seed where every Objective just happens to be within line of sight of your drop. Nothing OP about this strat.

[@thebigenchilada678]

@@Cheezdealer the AT cannon takes two shots to take out a fabricator unless it’s facing you, so for the sake of completing objectives, it’s 15 vs 26 shots, the AT cannon also can’t move.

[@IAmNumber4000]

I think it will probably get an ammo and/or cooldown nerf. That would be fair I hope it doesn’t get a damage nerf 😩 Edit: I’m not saying I WANT it to be nerfed. But it would make sense to me that a weapon that can clean the entire map of armored units from a hilltop gets a longer cooldown lol

[@jovifidelis]

Ngl, feels balanced to me. Slow turn and a large zoom, it feels obvious that it is supposed to be used at longer ranges.

[@theelmozusflame3015]

Pls no more nerfs

[@CorwinTheOneAndOnly]

The cooldown is pretty low for smth that can solo any situation

[@LaserTractor]

Bro, wtf is that Stockholm syndrome "that would be fair" quote? It's great. Don't touch it. Period

[@xghostsniper1179]

hmm, an implaced turret takes 2 but a rocket you can carry around and refill only takes 1. looks weak af ngl

[@BiggieJ4224]

It also has way more ammo capacity and fire rate. So “weak”

[@royisabau5]

you can fire faster than he shoots and the ROF means you can shred automaton waves and bug breaches by yourself on super helldive if you’re positioned next to a choke or something

[@stevenobrien7686]

Shows what you know.

[@zenoohshit5498]

My brother in Christ, it’s basically a howitzer. Two shots a strider and calls it “weak”, when it takes 3-4 RR shells to do the same, with a 4 second reload in between each shot.

[@DemoDivsion]

Multiple shots > one shot, constant reload Please play the game 😂

[@willieremboboss]

No sense use other support weapons if this exist

[@Curccu]

It is awesome specially on good visibility and open maps BUT some maps like swamp planets not that useful.

[@uncleulysses2328]

Saying dumbass shit like this is why everything fun gets nerfed lmao

[@luxurianhat7894]

It’s slow, it’s in a fixed position and I gurantee it has a long recall time. The game requires you to shoot and scoot. Does the HMG emplacements and MG turrets invalidate running any of the MGs. Shut up you’ll live. It has perfectly balanced downsides to its power.

[@BattlerEvil]

@@uncleulysses2328 It is an allergy you don't know? Since the past 8 years really. Allergic to Fun

[@normalguy3506]

The reason why its so powerful is because its Non-mobile. Its very powerful in defense maps and maps where you want to hold a position but in most cases you will be running around the map and end up abandoning the emplacement. Still extremely good for defence maps though.

[@thetaoist8]

I'll say it. This stratagem is op. It has way too much ammunition for the damage it's capable of and its cooldown is super low to the point you barely have to wait between placements. Unless we want this stratagem to be on almost every loadout because of how superior it is, the health of the game would benefit from reduced ammo or increased cooldown to this thing.

[@LaserTractor]

Ahh, it's always "Health of the game" argument when you want to take fun away Health in decreased player count and more glazers, who say "hmg is so good" probably

[@LD-sx9pr]

@@LaserTractor HMG is still garb no matter what AH does to it. even the HMG on the FRV is only slightly better than the stratagem. Needs a full rework from the ground up.

[@thethinkingbox4022]

??? This thing has a lot of clear weaknesses and it barely does more damage than the already spammable eagle stratagems. I can call in so many eagle airstrikes and just wait a minute cd and do 6x the damage of a single emplacement in multiple places too. It struggles when you get swarmed because it's so immobile, it can't be repositioned so if you're in a place with a lot of trees or rocks or whatever in the way you can't shoot freely. You're stupid as fuck if you think this is any close to OP. If you put this down and destroy an objective that is THE ONLY objective you're destroying. I would MAYBE, hard maybe, agree if it was on a fucking mech but it's not even close.

[@LaserTractor]

@@LD-sx9pr at least on new vehicle it doesn't have so much crazy recoil, but everything else - yeah, agree about total rework.

[@cbadaconcoca]

Oh yes the only downside is that you are standing still on a game where if you don't move you get shredded by tank shots, impalers tentacles, bile spewing, and now death rays from tripods, of course it's nothing to worry about
