Aircraft in RACE maps

There were a few polls on specific aircraft in the past, but I'd like to know what people think about them all together. You can select up to 3 choices.

I fear this is going to end up in yet another statement like "people playing Race just want to relax and have a good time" ._.

I would say that I enjoy all, but Venoms high mobility and powerful weapons make it seem overpowered on longer distance objective cruises. People just peak out from underneath the road, drop some high damage stuff upon you plasma/flamebomb in a second, hide again, and repeat the process till you are dead. I know that HB have instahit TB, but to hit good you are dependand on the driver driving straight, sudden acceleration/deacceleration and turning can ruin your shot, also the TB take longer to recharge then a laser/firebomb combo which also deals a load more damage. Repair and shield doesnt really help much in this case.

Those are just in Yro, actually a fine map for Venoms.

From another point of view a single Venom has to put up with a dozen of Hellbenders, each of them with triple and half the amount of HP (1600 + 3*300) plus shields. And it is not only twinbeams but also skymine secondary fire that are used to shoot Venoms down (and it is effective to prevent it from regenerating HP). If you're up against a decent HB team it is damn hard to survive in the air.

Thats why I wrote "on longer distance objective cruises". Cluster of Hellbenders only happens on the start of a map and near the spawn area (also HB dont have that much HP, circulating around 1200 and repair is +250, not to mention those arent DF+Atlas maps, HB drivers have a lot more to look after then just the air crafts), quite exagerating with "dozen of Hellbenders", stuff like this only happens when everyone goes solo, mostly its 3-4 active Hellbenders per team, and on the track its a rare occurance to see a pair of HB driving together, even more rare when both have at least 4 people.

4 people in a hellbender is indeed rare
