Yeah, I'll throw my lot in with Atri. I don't hate cloakers. Generally they cloak because they have no skill. So killing thme is easy, despite their lack of opacity.

I take great pleasure in hitting headshots on cloakers at close range. They think they're real sneaky, but then they end up as laser fodder.

about 50 of my headshots are cloakers, I have a lot of fun sniping them because it's a lot harder, you have to know exactly how high above the foot puffs or jets to get them in the head. Sniping people past the visible range (I mean where only there IFF is visible) is hard because the IFF doesn't always show right where they are meaning you might have to aim a little to the left or right. All together sniping is a lot of fun.

I hate anyone in a shrike. My favorite thing to do is kill then wiht the belly turret of the bomber, but a CG will suffice. I am leet with CG.

I'm getting pretty good with the belly turret... ask aggie. We played a whole hour of Tal, and never got shot down.... wait. Okay, so the one missile turret that wouldn't die got us the one time, but we never got shot down by a shrike

I like the belly turret. It does the same damage as a mortar, at least on MM, or so I heard. That means like 2-3 shots kill a shrike, so I don;t usually feel quite as proud of it...But it is damn hard to aim of the bloody bomber is moving.

try 1-2 shots to kill a shrike. Generally 1 because they're using up all their shields to shoot at me.

I love it when a shrike chases Lister and I way out into the middle of nowhere. Lister balsts the shrike out from under it's pilot and then Lister types into chat... "Walk back." LMAO!!

Yeah, I usually ctrl+k if that happens to me. (It doesn't) Last time I played CPA I just grabbed my usual loadout and a grav bike and drove around killing anyone who I could find OOB. Especially snipers. Especially v-pad snipers.

Funny thing about nailing a Shrike with a belly turret: It's an unbelievably tough yet large target to hit. I'll miss 19/20 shots. But on that one shot where I do hit the shrike, it only takes like 3 shots to kill the really tiny guy falling from the sky.

True, but that's because with a shrike, you are more hard-pressed to adequately extrapolate the pilot's course. He can swerve, dive, climb, do a loop-de-loop, whatever, whereas a falling guy pretty much goes straight down.

The belly turret should kill a light with one shot. And either way, it takes a really good bomber pilot to be able to shoot down a half decent shriker.
