the seekers from the Rocketeer has almost no seeking function but the ones on the Nief do . I dont know if someone notice that but that`s the main reason why the Nief mech is so OP in game. I think what they should do is put the Nief`s seekers to work exactly as the Rocketeer`s seekers and you will see that nobody complains again about the Nief.

Have you played with the Rocketeer recently? I think not because anyone who pllay with both mech notice the big difference between them . You have to aim almost straight with the Rocketeers seekers to make a hit but when im using the Nief the seeking function is way better. Btw i respect your opinion but please buy the Rocketeer and use it.
Have you played the Nief recently? It had the lock on radius reduced. That should not effect the Rockteer though so it should have the original seeker unless they ninja nerfed that one too. Which wouldn't complain about after Nief the obvious one is the Rocketeer.

The seeking for seekers on the rocketeer greatly improves when you are locked on to the enemy. Most pilots fire their hellfires as soon as they have a lock, this greatly reduces the accuracy or your seekers over time. If you hold your lock and hellfire shot until you absolutely know you will hit it and instead use that time to pepper the enemy with seekers. As a result your effective damage over time and seeker accuracy will improve with the rocketeer.
The Nief also uses this mechanic. The Nief triggers a lock on every few shots too help the seekers.
TL:DR The hellfire lock on increases seeker overall accuracy. Use this to your advantage.

The Rocketeer turret mode has an increased lock on feature that helps.

Your greatly confused. Hellfire and Seekers are two different weapons that do not depend on each other. Seekers are a cone based lock on just hover your crosshairs over the target and fire. They will track the target as long as your crosshairs are on them.

I am not confused. You are right in what you say, except the part where you said that they will track as long as your corsshairs are on them. The seekers will track by themselves as long as your cross hair was on the target when you fired. Then you leave out that when locked on, your seekers track better.

Have confirmed through playing it that this does work. Try for yourself.

Also to anser the original question the Rocketeer seeker is normal value it's not the same one as on the Nief or worse. The Nief is just a more agile mech making it easier to keep your target in the crosshair.

I just tested it. Can't notice any better tracking. Had the red lock on and moved the cross hair off target and seeker didnt track. Didn't notice any turning differences in the seeker missile when I had a lock on and kept crosshair on target it behaved normally. It might of tracked target when I had lock on and cross hair on target ,fired and moved off but couldn't really tell because seekers will track for a second or two if you do that without the lock on.

I played with you as a team and as an enemy and you are a good pilot but when Im using the nief and then using the rocketeer i can honestly see the difference on how the seekers follows the target. I respect your opinion and I think thats depends on the point of view of the pilot.
