So after using the warthog these are the buffs that i think would make it way better.
Buffs:
- Wider spread / Bigger reticle
- Faster ROF (shoots way too slow)
- More Auto-Aim / bullet magnetism
- Apply the shield to the gunner
We all know that the warthog gunner in h5 is very easy to kill and TTK is a big factor to getting in and out of engagements alive. The speed also does help the gunnar survival time. I think its a sweet new req but it needs to be its own beast not something that just gets past up like some of the reqs.
What do u think?
I haven’t played with it yet, but from what I’ve heard and seeing your argument I would have to agree.

Totally agree with you

i obviously need more time with it but that first impressions
When every body has a br.
And the gunner is such an easy target.
There needs to be at least increased armor or shield strength.
Maybe faster shield regeneration?

Does the shield protect the occupants (Driver/Gunner)?
I drove one around today and found it hard to tell…
Agreem, the needlehog is too underpowered. The gun should shot way faster or supercombinde with fewer hits
Wait, the shield doesn’t protect the gunner? Smh… fam. From all the posts, it sounds like it’s a huge bummer.
Here’s a better pic of the hog now… link
EDIT: After watching some gameplay, the shield only protects the hog and not it’s occupants. Here’s some new gameplay..
God, the gunners get massacred in Warthogs. They seriously need to add some more protection at least from the front. I was praying that the Sword Hog would shield the gunner, but alas it doesn’t. Missed opportunity 343.

Considering how BLOODY BIG the needles are it should take like…two, three?

QFT.
They should more or less “supercombine” in 1-to-2 hits.
The trade off would be that does very little damage against other verticals (which is currently already has this weakness).
The shield only protects the warthog. It isn’t useful and is a waste of a req. Oni warthog is better
I think there needs to be a little more armour around the gunner to physically block some of the shots from the side. That or change the aim assist / bullet magnetism on the turreter, atm anyone with half a brain can perfect shot a gunner if they’re out in the open.
Lowering the TTK on the turret or making the turret stronger will only make it frustrating to play against, I feel.

Anything taking the coordination of 2 or more players I feel should have a high return.
Given its current rarity and REQ level (the same as the ONI hog), it should be on par with the ONI hog once its weaknesses and strengths are considered.
I’m not sure its there at the moment. Making the vehicle shield act as an over shield to the occupants would have been a good trade off. Not sure why this was not incorporated (as the shield is not that strong anyways).
Shield should protect everyone including gunner, turret should shoot faster and supercombine in less and more aim assist.
I think people will enjoy the needle Hog once we all wrap our heads around the idea of a precision weapon mounted to the top of a truck.
Haven’t used it yet and was expecting the gunner to be shielded, but that is a tricky thing to balance imo. Anyways, the cool thing is that you can always switch seats and gain protection from shielding.

i dont agree because the gauss kills instantly and no one complains. I mean the oni hog is a beast of its own and overheats. I think it should be way better than the oni but not impossible to kill. Gunners ger destroyed way to easily for it to be frustrating to play againts if it was a lot better. Its more frustrating to use a new req on launch day only to find out that it sucks.

Its called a gauss hog. Please focus on the topic at hand.
