Recently 343 changed the REQ level for warzone. And while this is good for the loadouts it isn’t good for the vehicles and weapons. Now the banshee is 5 REQs. and i’m going to be honest Banshees are OP. Ive joined games for 3 minutes and people are already calling in banshees. Now don’t get me wrong banshees are easy killing spree vehicles. I’ve done amazing with banshees, but now that its only 5 REQS meaning people can reck everyone. This really changes warzone. We don’t need 12 player fire-team’s because now the OP reqs are lower req levels. Tell me what you think about the banshee and give your own opinion because theirs no judgement where you are.
Plasma pistol is level 2
Spartan laser is level 4
Mantis is level 5
Other anti-air/counter vehicle REQs around that level
You have tons of ways to counter them

I get that they are troublesome but like you pointed out, the lower reqs are to counter them and actually work well.
Now one thing that is a bit redundant is when you factor in the wasp changes. Granted it was bad luck, but I called in a wasp and as soon as I did the enemy spawned a banshee. Needless to say I wasted a wasp as they can’t compete with a banshee.

Spartan laser is life if you ask me. I just aim it into a corner so the banshee can’t see the laser then I point it at the banshee last second. The plasma pistols are more of a gambol tho as you have to hope team mates shoot it and if you’re wanting to hijack it you need the opposing team not paying attention. You also have railguns at req 3 don’t you? If not then they’re most definitely 4 and 5. Plus team shooting with brs can really agitate the banshee as they’re having to constantly back off to regen shields.
There’s plenty of counters to banshees op.

Think of it this way. They lowered the req for the banshee but also lowered the lv for a really good counter, the splaser.
Just team shooting a banshee will either take it down or make it run away and play defensively. I think the move from 6 to 5 was alright.
And some of the counter weapons like the Spartan Laser and the Plasma Pistol as stated above were moved down in REQ lvl, so the banshee isn’t impossible to deal with.
They’re easier to take down than before imo
I’m just now getting use to the new req system.

And the grenade launcher is LV 3 I believe and it makes for a much better EMP than the PP
It’s not just one team with all banshees M8. Besides, spartan lasers were brought down a level too if you need countermeasures; it’s all to make the action in the game go earlier.

Well, the grenade launcher doesn’t have the homing feature of the PP so you have to be able to judge distances. Also, I’d rather hijack a banshee that has fuller armor.

The PP’s homing has it’s limits. The Grenade Launcher’s AoE is large enough to give you some breathing room with your shots.
I keep running out of spartan lasers lol.

I felt like such a doof for mass-selling the two hundred something lasers I had just a few days before this update happened. Figured I’d only ever be using Endgames and Lances. Now I’ve been starved for the basic ones since I use them as quickly as I get them xD
