Compared to flak or heat cannon eoc is in a worst situation currently. I feel like im the only one still using it..

Flying needs a nerf.

EOC needs a buff!

Well, haven't heard that in quite a while ...

Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope

It ruined the game for me once I have just got back into Hawken. So I would rather have something else ruin the game for me rather than that god awful thing they call a weapon.

I would love to keep it like that.

It's just not a good CQC weapon, it doesn't need a buff, lol.

That and flying is making it less useful than it used to be. The weapon hasn't really changed, the way people fight has.
EOC and grenades are probably the biggest reason people use air dodge.

Close quarters explosions are unhealthy, and servery reduce life expectancy.

I've found it really helpfull since flying came to the fore. Charge EOC drop pucks on the floor as they land.

I'm really happy with where the EOC is at the moment. I think it was always meant to be an unusual support weapon, not a CQC powerhouse.I no longer feel guilty about using EOC Raider, which is good, because I love Mr.Smashy.....

It's just that I have to run from every a bit more decent a class sustained(Zerker), flack or heatcannon user...

And than they scream coward and similar things

Are you saying that landing some hits with EOC on a flying target is hard_ Because for me it's not. Shooting it uphill is a problem though.
The only real problem with EOC is landing a final hit with it and fighting someone with sustained damage. Improving a loading speed of first three pucks might help, but meh, agressive enemy dies easily anyway.

Ever tried to shoot an air dodging A class_ But that's not the case here. The case is that EOC was designed as a ground area denial weapon and in current meta it is very situational.

[Farlanghn]

EOC is a beast weapon if you know how to use it. I use it on my Pred and want to get good with it on my infil but usually go heat cannon. A full hit by six pucks is nasty. Single shot can suck so try not to do that.

Anyone who screams coward is a DBAG and deserves to be shamed like the loser they are. I had a guy mocking me for running from him and 2 of his buddies. Umm, I good but not stupid. Being an A-class now there is no way I can take on 3. Even 2 with good pilots is not a good thing.

It's always someone who has his teammates behind him that will mock you at the end of the day the game will always rebalance the teams next match anyway. Wait and strike back then!

I usually fly after people that try to run from Vulcan Zerker after they realize I'm there/they will lose.
There is little to no escape from the Wraith.

I would pack EOC, if my only EOC-able mech wasn't the Rocketeer.
