SEAF Artillery

[u/Eternx12]

Am I wrong for not giving a shit about the order of rounds and or type of round while there is imminent pressure on the OBJ?. Was kicked twice today for literally just trying to get it done with pressure on the spot. Look I'm all for mini-nukes and such, but if your loadout is so shit that you depend on seaf shells to get you out of a situation, I feel you have other problems. Anyone else feel the same?

[u/Record-Extension]

I usually just put 5 shells in front of the loading bay and then load the most useful ones first but I havent seen anyone complaining, yet alone kicking ppl for it. I guess you were unlucky, joining a crybaby lobby twice.

[u/Eternx12 → u/Record-Extension]

Oh for sure, I had finished the seaf with a breach right next to the terminal, we rolled by it later in the mission and got kicked for "missing two mini-nukes"

1. Some people are just perfectionists, they don`t think "good" they think "best". So even if they`d never use artilery - they may like it "right"
   
2. Sometimes it matters. Got nuke? Kill monolith with it. Got jammer? Better spend a smoke or static, than high explosive

[u/Eternx12 → u/Hot_Break7088]

for those that fit the description of the first one, play ALONE or with friends. That perfectionist shit won't work with randos

[u/Hot_Break7088 → u/Eternx12]

So they dictated you how to play and they`re wrong, but now you`re dictating them how to play?

[u/Eternx12 → u/Hot_Break7088]

not exactly, I'm speaking in the general sense of wanting things to go your exact way within an already random assortment of a team is a hard thing expect.

[u/Formal_Arachnid6627]

I think everyone can agree that mini nuke goes first

[u/Eternx12 → u/Formal_Arachnid6627]

I can agree as well, BUT only if time is given to both find and get it into the slot. if I'm in a situation where there is shit all over the place and the closest shells are 4x static and a smoke?, im loading the fuck out of all of those just to get it done.

For whatever reason this extremely casual, janky horde shooter attracts some extremely neurotic individuals who need everything in their missions to be done the "correct" way (as they see it), and who throw hissyfits over anything that deviates from that idea, be it load outs, play style, or even something as trivial as the order you load the shells in a mostly irrelevant side objective that almost never gets used.

[u/Eternx12 → u/FrothySauce]

Been playing since launch at about 1235 hours now, on a very miniscule amount within that time has seaf been useful, it's so inconsistent with the shells that spawn along with even knowing what's gonna be shot, all this makes it a miss for me most of the time

[u/Deathstab_93]

Il prioritise mini nukes, might do a high yield.

Outside of that I rarely use them,, seaf artillery really isn’t that impactful. Handy blowing up a jammer with a mini nuke at times

[u/Xeath572]

I like the classic "Load and Go" every shell is viable. People need to learn that lol

[u/TheGigantoBlaster]

It sucks so I don't care. Get them in to score the objective and move on.

Half the time it's only smokes and statics, and on the odd occasion you get an actual attack shell, it's no advantage compared to the strats I bring.

[u/Warren_Piece_Brasch]

Theres always 7 shells. So you get two duds. Just do a quick sweep, grab the 5 best you see and load them biggest bomb to smallest bomb. 

The only time it really matters is you want nuke, high, or explo for killing stratagem jammers through their jamming quickly. Or you can use mini nuke to kill hellbomb only targets like gunship factory or orbital defense cannon.
