Planetside 2: Hunting BWC Bastion

Casuals been sitting some some fat tanks waiting for you to pull a bastion TR. Sorry BWC I don't want you to hurt my friends. Times have changed old man, you better train your pilots better because right now they are flying like WW2 Zeros.

If you really want to be strong you have to die hundreds of times, conquering forts or bases with a random team, without that you can do anything. at first impression it seems that the arsenal of weapons is well done. But when a new player has to play, and starts with nothing unlocked it is really frustrating. This is why the game is little played, for the simple fact that the New players fucking broke being oneshot by high-level folks with crooked guns (pay to win or not, it doesn't matter)

(As game is intended) The weapons you see most people using are just the good weapons of the faction or NS weapons which are well rounded. Also one shot only exists with high caliber guns such as a revolver or sniper. Direct hits from armor can be one shot as well.
