    I've been making a fool of myself in the warpgate, trying to learn skiing/surfing. Then I remembered that there was a Cami video about Icarus jets that I hadn't finished watching. You saved me a lot of pain. Thank you! Bootbag from Connery TR sends his regards.

    As drifter LA myself I always thought that Icarus jets were kind of a meme, the horizontal speed or lack of it always made me switch to skirmishers just cause of the balanced horizontal/vertical thrust. I guess this combo won't make me use Icarus jests for vertical traversal either way, but it's good to know that this synergy exists.

    • @Boomchacle

      I main drifter as well but I might start using Icarus jets a bit more for certain situations. I don't have the directive carbine and can't afford a lot of grenades so these aren't quite as useful for me yet.

      I've used Icarus and am a drifter main. Launching vertical is great for 1v1s, but I still like the versatility of drifters.
      With this Icarus set maxed out, I could respond to incoming sunderers immediately during a base defense. That is exciting.

    DarkFlight was the real Icarus pioneer, way back in 2013 or so. Sadly he hid his videos about two years ago.
    There are two OG lessons that later Icarus guides do not cover:
    1. You can use vehicles to gain MASSIVE horizontal momentum. Turbo + Icarus = jump pad, anywhere
    2. You can bounce off steep slopes and angled rocks to gain SUBSTANTIAL horizontal momentum. This is the technique the general public doesn't realize exists, or is strong. If you're up on one roof, you'll often be able to fall down onto a sloped rock (or whatever), bounce off it (start jumpjetting right before you hit it), and have well more than enough horizontal momentum to cross to the next building. Icarus recharges so fast that you can have full fuel before hitting the ground again, letting you chain bounces one after the other. You know how you can bounce down the north face of The Crown? With Icarus, that's something you can do in almost every base. Because almost every base has rocks and/or those guardrails that are notorious for bouncing you (the ones on every triple stack).

    Problem here is that for ambusher-like performance, you're limited in underslung and grenade number(and grenades cost nanites which could be a problem if you're c4-ing all the time).

    9:45 was a perfect time to scare them by drizzling a few shots at them, followed by an impulse grenade -throwing them over the edge, to their deaths. Impulse grenades are an interesting tool. They don't just yeet you, they yeet enemies too (including other deployables that haven't yet touched the ground).

    • @Dplusithicus
      @Dplusithicus 2 роки тому

      Also, a carbine with an underbarrel grenade launcher is a perfect way to monetize the anti-vehicle AOE damage multiplier for maximum cert gain. I've killed all manner of vehicles with the underbarrel grenade launcher (including liberators, mid-air while my rocket pods have been emptied.) Underbarrel grenades do a total of 1250 damage per shot, and you get 3.

  • @provalivay
    @provalivay 2 роки тому +1

    it's funny that when i've started to play PS2 while ago, maining LA class, i've started with Icarus jets because of things that you've said here: great mobility in CQC fights, especially when you have a lot of space above you. Also it gives that wild possibilities to jump-dive-jump shooting at the floors above you, when enemy doesn't expect that you'll appear again so quickly. Somewhere after 50lvl i've switched to more common Skirmisher jets, but in fact, it affects only your movement capabilities, which is mostly good for Vehicle destruction or positioning. Trying to fight with infantry with Skirmisher jets is a suicide, as you moving to slowly, like a balloon. You know what, perhaps i will get back to Icarus, as this video raised my good memories about them :D

    I've been running the Icarus with some success with the ammo restock implant + Regen + punisher adaptive barrel.
    Otherwise I would say safe fall + Regen + grenade bandolier for more impulse is good enough too.
    When not comfortable with falling, always pick safe fall, you won't ever have to worry about it unless you're falling from an ESF.
    The punisher with adaptive barrel is always good to have as a secondary.

    Just to clarify, the horizontal air braking mechanic does not only apply to high speeds like impulse jumping and jump pads. Whenever you're moving horizontally, you should be facing 90 degrees from your direction of travel. The Icarus jets' horizontal speed is fine when you do this, even without assistance from impulse nades or surfing.
    I can't even use skirmishers or drifters anymore because they feel too slow, with or without impulse grenades.

      I just hopped onto that amp station to test how far I could go off a non-biolab jump pad, but apparently baldur amp doesn't have pads. So I decided to record surfing to the next base, and see how far I could go without using impulse grenades. I only needed them to stay up after traveling around 300m, and that's realistically more than you need to be able to travel nine times out of ten.

  • @gpheonix1
    @gpheonix1 2 роки тому +4

    65% of game time is on la on my main account and been playing since release. Icarus to me is a must for urban settings. I typically use them to decrease down time on horizontal travel or to disengage quickly. I've been using them since they came out. I just simply don't like how slow the regular jets are. For a bit now I've tried going back and using the regular jets, but I've been wanting to have them back on my cqc-med kit too.
    Also, there's actually still a bit of good horizontal movement. However, that's mainly on the side so you kind of have to do a 90 degree turn anytime you want to get some horizontal distance. It's enough to still give a lot of horizontal inertia when slingshotting off of jump pads. One good example is using the jump pads hurakan amp station to sling shot directly to the point of hurakan secure storage.

    I just want to emphasize - you do not NEED impulse nades to have good horizontal momentumn with icarus. For most of the situations available nearby terrain is more than enough, or even better - just a quick sprint and jump + 90 degrees turn will give you plenty of horizontal momentumn to work with in and near buildings.

    Honestly Synergy kits could be worked into the faction and that wouldnt hurt anyone realistically. I feel the need for gear to be more faction dependant and not weapon reliant would be a good method to roll. Maybe make some quirky jump jets that work with items from kit/weapon options. Maybe a LA has a slippery glide mode between jumps for VS, you cant control travel at all, but if you shoot your gun the recoil impulse becomes reverse movement instead (would be tricky, but fast firing guns producing low recoil will move you less then a slow heavy hitter) and negates recoil significantly while hipfiring (Vertical only)? (Concept that could be visited by a video Camikaze78, could fix the issues of what happened with the weapons showcase they dropped where some weapons with the major update)

    Personally, the jets that made me finally realize I love light assault are drifter. I can do so much cheeky stuff including just bumrushing people and having my head ever so slightly above where most people's "click the head" muscle memory is, I live longer and can get away with stuff.
    I really disliked the regular jump jets, these ones are fun but not for my low skill level, but drifter is where I get away with the most shenanigans
    Also drifter is how you get that stupid "deal 3000 damage while airborne" part of the daily mission. Drifter + tanto or GR7 /w laser sight and short barrel has truly transformed my opinion on light assault.
    I still want some kind of mid to long range option for a light assault that isn't a pistol or the crossbow. Just give me a slow firing, moderate damage semi auto or bolt action. Let the Light assault use the longbow, lol.

      The adrenaline pump is a great call, definitely something worth considering. As I said though, it's less about the ammo capacity and more about the reload speed buff. In addition, the SMG secondary does have a slower weapon equip time against a standard pistol, so there's some issues there to consider.

    Your Oshur looks different from than console.
    Oshur on Console is an underdeveloped continent where construction seems to be the focus yet on console, there is no construction.
    There ares a few good bases but most are just empty field ghost caps.

    Funny watching all the LAs start hating Icarus slowly converting one by one. I'll admit I was one originally against ganidiot though I converted the day the punisher came out and have slowly been converting people since.
    Also hilarious when it was a less common play style people wouldn't be able to figure out what jumpjets you were using when you cross a base in 1 second but then engage using Icarus I got lots of confused tells

    Look, with Impulse grenades ( and to an extent Catlike 5 ) the skirmisher jets are truly the Jack of all Trades. Icarus? Impulse boost upwards ( or even just Catlike 5 jump boost ). Ambusher? Impulse boost forwards. Drifter? Chain impulse boosts laterally.
    Going through your video, I actually don't see what it is you find in the Icarus jets that you couldn't also have done with Skirmishers, but I do see several instances where the limited fuel capacity has caused you to miss landings or fall short of your target.
    Plus you're heavily reliant on Impulse grenades, where Skirmishers can do without them and make limited use of them when you really need that boost.
    One of the few advantages you have is a faster rate of ascent when starting your boost from mid-air.
    You might consider the ability to boost mostly directly towards your target an advantage, but usually flying directly towards a target is a bad idea as it makes YOU an easy target, even if you're moving at great speed. It is generally beneficial to jump off-angle from your target and use the standard lateral movement that you would with the other jets because then it puts that speed advantage to use by moving in a direction that makes it harder for your target to aim at and track you.

    (LA Main) been using icarus since I was first able to buy it with certs: 10/10 best jump jets, would leap buildings in a single bound again
    I've also learned that with some practiced quick pulsing of the jets you can pretty easily clear decent distance gaps with a running start and survive falls through deceleration you might otherwise not be able to come out of (unless I'm just uninformed and the other jets decelerate you just as well)

    • @PatrixBest

      In my experience, Icarus jets are actually worse at breaking falls than the other jets.

  • @CharliMorganMusic
    @CharliMorganMusic 2 роки тому

    I'd ditch Avoidance for Paratrooper. Gives you rank 1 Safe Fall at rank 5, plus allows you to recharge your jets much faster in a fight. Also, Flight Suit is a must.

    • @CAMIKAZE78
      @CAMIKAZE78  2 роки тому

      Disagree personally - Paratrooper only works for you when you take damage, and as a class that feeds on flanking, the idea is to not get shot in every fight, limiting your return on investment. Flight Suit is nice to have, but not a must imo.

    Worst jump jets. Just because of that second it takes to land completely. You are hovering at one point simply because it takes longer for "gravity" to change your vertical speed, even though you have almost no horizontal speed. LA becomes the easiest target to shoot

    I get that it's MLG pro 420 blaze it to put your FOV to 360 degrees, and I hate telling people how to play their game, but, as a viewer, watching this footage is painful. Seeing something in front of you look like they are 2 miles away and then suddenly 3 inches away as you turn your camera looks silly and makes telling what's going on kind of difficult and unenjoyable. :\
