I really need to train myself that Laser Core is pretty lovely, since I've died a million times to enemy Titans who kill me with regular fire before I can kill them. It's great to use on pilots though and I've gotten several "lol you wasted your core on me on foot" and the like.

If you are doomed you should always be at the moment's notice to mash the eject button. And just remember that you are extremely vulnerable when using the core due to the reduced mobility, but you can always eject out of it even during the core, and your Titan keeps shooting it's laser core as you start the eject sequence so you can squeeze out a little damage at whatever Titan you were shooting out just as you eject out. I'm not sure what else you'd want out of the core, it's pretty straight forward as an extension of Ion's regular abilities- gently caress poo poo up with lasers that do a gently caress ton of damage.

On the flip side, on Crash Site attrittion if your entire team holes up in the back corner where the A point is in Hardpoint, you can really effectively camp and murder anything that tries to come in, since your AIs will spawn around you and not get mown down much at all, and there's a good chokepoint.


Have you tried swapping data centers? On the main menu on the bottom left it shows what center you're connected to and if you click it you can choose a different one (give it a sec to populate, it'll ping them all). There may be another data center with a similar ping, could try that and see if there's more people on.

oh man i couldn't find where to change the data center for the longest time, thanks, I'll give this a shot.

I bought my key off G2A.com and I have no idea if that has a bearing on my data center but I have a feeling it's throwing me in russian data center or something

Damage-wise is laser core the most powerful core? Assuming you land the whole thing?

I once lasered someone while doomed and then ejected. They ejected a second later and we had a kick'n rad fight falling back towards the ground.

Yeah, the trails it leaves have a very, very short life span. Maybe if it was something closer to a Firewall effect, it'd be great; but in it's current state it's just a little useless.

Honestly I wouldn't mind the titanfall kit being replaced with a core kit; like that new Scorch kit being the only one that affects the core ability of the titan is weird to me and it'd be cool to do other mods to other titan cores. Like maybe having the laser core penetrate through multiple titans, or having flight core shoot out less rockets, but the rockets it does shoot are cluster missiles.

Its gotta be close, i usually use Tone and the salvo core won't kill someone outright, but i have absolutely been killed by the laser core through a freshly dropped shield and i didn't have enough time to eject before i exploded. I've also been killed by it standing behind another titan

Scorch's core seems kind of lovely, i have no idea how to use Ronin effectively so ill withhold judgement there, and Northstars core is probably better than Tone's but leaves him super vulnerable.

It's not very good, but it does its damage in a single burst, so it can be useful for immediately finishing off a low-life enemy Titan.

Laser core is absolutely more powerful than salvo core. An entire Salvo core can't even do 100% damage to a Titan except maybe Ronin, which might not even be true. Laser core can take out any Titan if you get a full burst on them I believe with room to gently caress up a second Titan.

Scorch's core has definitely caught me by surprise at multiple times and can finish off a Titan at a 1/4 way of health and burn through the doomed state before you have a chance to react. Just have to keep your distance from Scorch at all times, especially with the fireshield.

I respect a good scorch player more than anything. Some people just annihilate poo poo with him and it always catches me off guard. Usually when I see scorch I think "oooh free Titan kill" but once in while it ends up being some guy that lays waste to everyone.

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore
Here's the most accurate weapon spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nxDADMLQfHCO6Z-hO0Dv5FJ1HSv7JsPEdcfQpoELRkg/edit#gid=1950122771

Laser core does 350 direct damage and 350 splash per tick on a direct hit.

Salvo shoots 30 rockets that do 180 direct damage and 180 splash.

Laser core may do more damage, but it's much easier to hit with more salvo core. As an aside, I think smart core may do the most total damage.

(Some numbers may not be completely accurate because respawn is doing tweaks server side)

ronins core turns you into an absolute nightmare for enemy titans. it like halves all your ability coodowns (including dash) so you can be all. around an enemy titan lightning blading and meleeing their face off for its duration, or if the battle turns you can hightail it the gently caress out of there. I'd rank salvo core above laser purely just for the trickshots, firing the whole salvo into the sky before walking around a corner never gets old and enemies never, ever expect to get a whole truckload of rockets dropped on their head.

How does this work. I've air launched rockets up in the air and they almost always just splash down in front of the titan. Do I need to be looking at a titan. I was under impression they are seekers?

The spitfire is great in single player, where you should enjoy it to its fullest. Use the R201, CAR, Devotion and maybe the laser mg in multi.

Eh, don't really bother with networks. I just have a bunch of psn friends that play titanfall via this thread and such. I just spam invites to anyone playing Titanfall when I login. I also joined the most populated networks and will pop in there asking if anyone else wants to group up if we need a couple more. Have a full group just about every night, it's good fun

The Spitfire is not a good gun. It has no niche in which it's the best gun and it's mediocre to bad at all ranges. There's really no reason to use it over other guns.

Salvo is strong and fast, but only useful against one titan, Flight is weaker but works decent on pilots as well as titans.

Laser and Flame are devastating against grouped enemies, especially Flame if you're in range. Laser kills it with Grand Cannon and Overcore.

Smart is absolutely the most damage output in total. Sword is the odd man out since it's pretty great but super dependent on the skill of the player.

If we're talking raw damage Flight Core actually beats out Salvo Core... not that you'll be able to actually deal said amount of damage due to Flight Core's missiles being dumbfire so you'll probably miss a bunch.

Pretty sure its only purpose is to be some sort of hosed up game of chicken where you get the Spitfire to a higher generation and brag about it, daring people to try and beat you but hoping they turn away first so you don't have to use it again. I'm gen 3 with it by the way!

Really though, they should give it back its 3 shot kill from the first game. I think it'd be okay if they did that (well actually I think it's an okay gun overall already, it's just that everything else is better so there's no real reason to use it).

At the very start and very end i focus almost exclusively on hunting down the AI. Grunts and stalkers are worth a point each, reapers are five, and ive lost too many games by one point to ignore the AI and risk everyone on the enemy team being better at the call of duty style shoot-man than me (they always are). Plug two titans and a couple pilots during the course of the round and you'll break a hundred points easy.
