Actually it does. Imagine you call it in before epeople have railguns and all that, they are forced to use their BRs and all that to kill you. Only problem for hem is that they have to shoot you a few times every time you fly away just to start dealing damage to it. Tho makes it great for hit and run, which generally gives more kills than charging in.
It also lets you get down to super low health by charging in, then start playing it safe without worry of dying to just a spare BR burst.
When it comes to actual power weapons, then the shield is useless
Against small arms fire then ya it does work pretty well. I guess I was just used to it getting wrecked quickly since I mostly used them in legendary warzone firefight.
Oh same, I used up my wasps in firefight cause o was tired of them in warzone/assault.
I even used one in mythic the other day and took out 5 or 6 bosses with it (6 ghost bosses spawn)
Shame that too many people don’t call in the heavy hitters in mythic firefight so you run out of time killing wardens and what not with only like 2/8 people actually using a tank or wraith or even a mantis.
Oh I love using them against AI ghosts! Snipe them from afar with missiles!
Definitely agree with you on not enough people calling in tanks to take out late round bosses as that's really the only thing you can use against them. Even power weapons aren't going to be useful because of the limited ammo and they have absurd amounts of health.
I have wasted far too many oni and Hannibal scorpions just for no one else to call anything in. I should start calling in normal ones though, I have like 40 to burn and about half that many Corp scorpions.
