About 90% of my shells are hitting, if not more. I get dozens more rounds into him- he's steadily closed with me, no maneuvering, no dodging. I empty one entire magazine into him of skyguard. I literally sat yesterday in a skyguard, spotted a Lib flying at about 1 hex away, I start shooting. I have to disagree with you completely that we are wrong. Do read if you want an immediate, current example of what happened 24 hours ago on Amerish on this topic. ”Story Incoming: Do not Read if you are a TL DR type. Your daily reminder is like saying OHK shotguns are OP because they can kill someone in one shot while LMG needs several shots. During that time Skyguard can be firing at it. Liberator needs time to close distance in order to get in Tankbuster range. That weakspot cannot be used with how maneuverable the current liberator is. I fly more than enough to know the weakspot of a liberator. If you can see that dalton, Majority of the time, It can see you. If you are anywhere else, Or that liberator rolls, You are suddenly no longer safe.

The only safe place fighting a liberator is staying directly to its top. ”You wanna tell me what hacks you are using to teleport out of the view of a belly up dalton? If you get to close, its even easier for a dalton to shoot you down. Most ESF deaths are due to rookie pilots usually flying straight into Dalton instead of staying outside its firing angle. But those guys form very small minority of all Lib crews. Those people should be flagged and periodically checked with more aggressive anti-cheat detection. I've come across Lib gunners which I'm pretty were using aimbot or some kind of movement prediction. Some ppl are quite good with Dalton though. Solution? Wait for Liberator to get damaged by Skyguard and then go chase him down. You are likely to die due to ground AA or enemy ESFs should Liberator decide to fall back to friendly zone. In reality taking down a full-health Lib with lone ESF takes too much time. As long as the dogfight is pure 1v1 with no outside interventions then the ESF will win sooner or later. ESF can easily stay out of the Liberator's firing angle.
