So, I've been seeing more and more RM builds, especially in TDM and TTDM and so I decided to slap it back on my KS - also to do the 5 Epic Pilot task faster. Here are some thoughts...
No, I don't think they fixed the splash nerf. I think that's here to stay. As much as I don't like it, I think it's the right move. Even as a counter against all the OP stuff, the splash was just too powerful before. Some people are still playing lazy with it but it is what it is.
The reason why I think it's making a come back is the improved AI. It's now harder for human pilots to sneak over and hunt you because the AI is smarter and so much more powerful than before. As a RM pilot though, I have a tough decision to make in all game modes: if I'm not getting many kills, do I stay or do I eject and try to contribute more? In CPC, while I can't realistically cap beacons (other than the first spawn beacon) but I can use the RM to thin the reds while they try for centre. I still don't use it much in CPC though and pretty much only run it for favourable TDM maps.
