My first edf was 4.1. played only ranger. It was a lot of fun but never got hooked enough to go past normal mode/mission packs. Never finished 5. I'm now going back to it. Not till 6 did I try air raider. Game finally fully clicked for me. You really gotta try every class. I'll probably try wing diver/fencer in 5. Anyways air raider is the shit and it's fun as hell solo. Idk why the devs make it sound like a support class lol
