I like what was done with recent patches for the most part but removing the /vr mid air makes rustling underwhelming and really tough. I might be wrong cause I'm out of practice. I barely play anymore, I join once in a while but from what I hear, there are pretty much no pilots on the server.
@Mike do you think it would be reasonable to at least have the option to put vehicle armor on the rustler, or maybe even raising base HP to 1100hp or something and keeping an eye on it until rustling is more viable again. I don't wanna be biased here and toot my own horn but I honestly believe rustling is in a objectively bad spot right now.
Balance it to the point it's viable again and have some kind of balancing lever like adjusting hp in case it becomes too strong again, you can simply nerf it by 50 or 100 hp again. Balance it properly to the point people actually give it a shot, if possible. I'm patient and I don't even play enough to care lately, but I think it would be fair, that's why im writing this post.
Otherwise I see server doing well, the latest update(s) were good, and I'm grateful for everyone's contribution. However I'm a pilot at heart and I'd love to enjoy rustling more those rare times that I join the server.
Thanks and be well
