I quit when drones started. I wanted to try this Skirmish to see Typhoon. Some thoughts:
1) Has the game really come to this? Uber powerful one hit kill bots hiding behind cover waiting for their nigh impenetrable shields to charge up so they can fly for a few seconds and sweep the battlefield with their beams of death?
Yeah, the gameplay is like Ao Jun but I could never rack up kills in my Ao Jun like I did the first time I used Hawk. Also my Ao Jun only had 2 machine guns and a rather weak flame thrower.
2) About 1/3 of the time I took to the air my super powerful weapon didn't activate.
"Now I've got you! Oh, never mind."
3) The kill voice has changed since I played and is now ridiculous. "Double Kill! Cool!"
4) The targeting system is worse than ever. I would see a Hawk land unwisely but when I go to shoot him targeting immediately switches to one of his Hawk friends moving in the air.
Typhon seems interesting but all this other stuff got in the way for me.

bravex 2) sometimes Transform needs time to lock on, but if there are too many potential targets or the target is able to change direction quickly, it's basically useless. I imagine Damned Johnny may remedy that by locking down the targets. That's probably by design to get those that have Kyle maxed to purchase Johnny and start again. 3) The voice change for Kills and such is due to the Serious Sam crossover. Hopefully, it'll go back to normal after the event. 4) PIX says they'll discuss targeting next month. I remember they said they fixed it, but to the opposite of what we wanted or would be useful. I haven't seen targeting jump around as much as it has in the last few days. It's impossible to go over bridges or under cover and shoot one target without the damn thing locking on anything you can't actually shoot while the Red sitting directly in front of you fires at you unopposed. God forbid you have more than one target directly in front of you as you stand in an open field on Springfield or Canyon and you can actually choose your target.

Just play other games. I haven't spent one minute in War Robots for a while now and reading some comments here in the forum or having a look or two at a video from Manni shows me enough to stay away from the game. BoT is pretty awesome right now, as it has a lot of players since War Robots introduced Drones and other bs. And my main game at the moment is Cyberpunk 2077. Got 50 hours into the game, haven't even finished half of the main story. Best 60 bucks I ever spent and even WITH all the bugs, game was released too early, it's one of the most astonishing things I ever saw. But yeah, was to be expected, as I love Blade Runner (80s version of course), Terminator, Total Recall and such kind of things.
This is how it looks on my 150 bucks GPU. Not bad, eh.

I do play BOT and enjoy it very much. Very little OPness over there. Most of my game time is Shadowgun Legends now. I'm addicted but not quite as much as I was to War Robots.

removed my huge quote. It's huge. I do play BOT and enjoy it very much. Very little OPness over there. Most of my game time is Shadowgun Legends now. I'm addicted but not quite as much as I was to War Robots. Yeah, BoT kicks 「bum-bum」. They got double EC time again, so you can grab your T2 and T3 stuff faster without spending one cent.
Is Shadowgun P2W?
Boy am I glad I don't have any addiction to War Robots anymore.

Aww. I thought I was getting more EC because I was so awesome. The company behind Shadowgun has said they are against P2W. I see some players who have obviously dropped money on fancy gear but nothing that makes them unbeatable.

Best I got was 502th place "Best Players", I guess this is per year, but I blew it as I got some 「dookie」ty random players. Doesn't matter though, it's good enough.
So gear gives a slight advantage in Shadowgun but it's not game breaking like in War Robots? Ah, what the heck, I'll have a look. Trying new things is my thing.

The bugs are real frustrating. Currently don't have a ride because my Delamain quest is bugged. Also, returning was a mistake bravex

Yes the game has come to that, and clans squad with multiple Hawks in hangers. I called Hawk “ flying camper “ in discord chat and guys had trouble accepting the point and shoot from afar and above post. I call them guys chicken hawks as when they are not in squad look at most their beacon scores... 1 or 0 most of the time is what I am finding. When in a full stupid OP squad they get some as nothing can move with 6 flying hawks about. The nerf cant come soon enough.

Also, returning was a mistake bravex Except for Delamain calling me a lot and I like the guy, uhm, the software, no, the AI, I had no issues with side or main quests for now. Only issues I have is NPCs moving or behaving strangely at times. The NPC car traffic AI is 「dookie」. Compared to traffic in GTA 5, CP77 leaves a lot to be desired. The police AI is 「dookie」. But otherwise, Night City is magnificent and I guess it'll get the same treatment as Witcher III got which was 「dookie」 on launch, too. I'm currently hacking myself through the game. Quickhacks become very powerful over time which is awesome. Stealth and hacking for now. When I'll play it through for the second time, Ima go full body and reflexes blasting and gunning my way thru.
Hope you have some manual saved games. Would suck to start over due to some bugs. Hope you enjoy CP77 otherwise though. I enjoy the 「dookie」 out of it. It's awesome.

Don't know if you saw a while back I sold all my hawks, it was for that reason, I can't play like that man. Hiding all the time, no freedom of movement. No bumrush to within 0m to unload on a red...

I matched up against some champs (managed to cycle through and see maxed Last Stand and Overdrive's.... Gulp), only being in M3, knew it was going to be tough, just tried to do my bit on Dead City, unfortunately my game was over in under 3 minutes. Red Champ figured I was an easy target. His maxed Scorpion devastated my Pursuer, at the side beacon. I tried coming back with my Nemesis, in hindsight, a bad choice. Then his Scorpion hit overdrive and crushed my Falcon 1.11, in a few seconds. Those sonics were game changers, no heal and I was gone. Took about 3 players to kill it, and retake the beacon. By that time Red had breeched the centre line and were changing the elevated bridge beacon, Mings spawned, then came the plasma rain, Ao Jun down. Rayker lasted mere seconds as a Hawk flyby mopped up in a nanosecond, from the newly turned beacon. I feel bad that firstly I was no help to my team. No chance to launch my Titan. The Blue Champs were up against a Duo squad, they (Blue) managed to play on for another minute, maybe, before the inevitable. How is that matching. All agreed another few seconds to pull players from appropriate levels makes a more rewarding game for everyone.

I saw a Manni video where he called out this play style in an Ares player. He said something like "Wow. Look at that guy. He's just gonna sit there behind that building until his cool down is over. Dude, do something! Move into a better position, corner shoot, something! Don't just sit there!"

Hawks are so old now its Scorpions and Ravs with Sonic weapons to ruin the game.

Are you that grumpy old guy that I've seen a few times in battle now? I think the player name is angry (or) grumpy old dude. He has 2 or 3 maxed Hawks with Chimera/Spirals and just hides in far corners of the map launching those rockets for the whole time! If anyone comes near him he just uses the ability to vaporize and/or get away from the opponent.
