  1. Watch the booster mechanics get nerfed like the ebrs…but the premium is completely immune…

    Tier 7: 1 to 2 charges, tier 8: 2 to 3 charges etc.. Cause we know premiums are immune from nerfs

    1. The tier 7 and 8 lack the high alpha that make the rocket boosters problematic, so any nerfs here would be seriously misplaced.

      The real problem is the high uptime of boost. It would be better if the boost was infinite, but on a long recharge timer, like 30-60 seconds–maybe 10-15 second duration?

      The real issue is how long they can be boosted over a 25 second span of time. Why 25 seconds? That’s how long it takes mediums to shift flanks or make major repositioning changes. It’s entirely possible for something like a Jagdtiger E-100 to fire, pull back to reload, and peek again only to discover the BZ has crossed 300m and arrived on its side during that reload.

      If the recharge were 30+ seconds, this goes away. It wouldn’t be able to cross large parts of the map while boosted, but it’d still have the ability to instantly accelerate to 50~60kmh for a useful length of time.

      1. i think Dakillzor made a comment about how it’s a little silly with how fast you can boost again / how fast they currently recharge ingame, it’s only like a 5 second cooldown for something you have extremely limited uses of
