Hi, this is useless needs to be made cheaper or stronger, also sunburst to a lesser degree. :lecture:

I find the sunburst being fully ok, but the flak needs improvements. Maybe triple the splash effect? :hmm:

Sunburst is very useful as air-to-air; it really scares off some heavy bombers everybody whines about. One problem with it is that it seems to damage friendly vtols with its splash damage.

I've heard that flaks can be used on hovertanks and micromanaged to target at the middle of the vtol mass, dealing high splash damage, but i didn't try it out yet; thus, i also believe it's underpowered.

I got a better & simple solution: get rid of Flak Cannon, bring back Cyclone Flak Turret.

Or then increase a little it's ROF, i'm not sure about that, but the damage is ok for it.

I have to admit, I did prefer the old Flak turret :)

I also think that the current turret is underpowered.
