A couple of big changes to the ESF nose gun's on the first ESF rebalance campaign, and I think they are very, very, very much better than what they use to be. I have flown on my Scythe for about 3 hours since the patch and the Mossie for about 6 hours and I'm still knocking people down. The default guns are still competitive and now deal a lot more damage per magazine. The Saron cannon on the Scythe and the Needler on the Mosquito are both just as good at killing ESF's as they are at killing Liberators and Galaxies. The M18 rotary and the Hailstorm really pack a punch, they can down ESF before some pilots can process it. They aren't that good at 400m+, but that's not really an issue. Liberators are better off because of this too. I personally don't think any of them are game breakingly OP, but now that a couple of the NC pilots got use to the new change, they seem to think that their Vortek is the best. Credit goes to NoXousX from Future Crew for this damage table and good luck flying. (You might want to zoom your browser)

Liberators are even more vulnerable now.... they are a lot easier to hit than an ESF... when I used to not get too miffed about a couple reavers.. now unless I see a few friendlies around it's not worth going near objectives.

Rotary weapons aren't doing the insane damage they use to at distances past 400meters so it promotes more aggressive close ranged dogfight with a lib and an ESF. Although perfect lib vs ESF balance isn't there yet, it was a step in the right direction.

Still, close ranged fights were never in a liberator's favor.

That just means we'll have some job opportunities for serious escort.
