Read the title as bacon drop.

Actually, I'm thinking I'm changing my mind on this one. It would be a good idea. Yes you heard right, I think it's a good idea. Simple reason. It was in Warhawk in the form of the binoculars. Never caused a balance issue back then, so why should it now. Especially because if it was put in this game it would make sence to implement it in the same way as the tank mortar and the Hawk torpedo. By that I mean you get warning of the strike by a beacon that's shown in the same way.

But I doubt it will ever be in the game...

The sniper doing damage against a tank could be exploited in games like ground pounder, if the person spawned on a very tall hill and used shield generator  it would be impossible to fight back due to no  hawks or jetpacks. This strategy  is even worse if the extremely tall/ small surface area cliff is near the snipers own spawn point making it hard to create a spawn tower and spawn on top of the sniper tower as the spawn tower would be destroyed within seconds.

I have to admit hawks are the best  unit in the games, they have the best movement, best  map weapon upgrades and   most of the blue icon players are hawk users. Usually  air superiority= win 9/10 times.

 hawk users are extremely problematic in the early game when few people on each team and the opposing team has no hawk  users. They base ravage a team and then proceed to cluster bomb/ stop on defenceless ground troops and fly  away to recover from the 1 or two grenades you threw at them before death. Not fun. Ground troops need more options against hawk users too op. Hawk> everything else.

Idea for balance in map power ups like cluster bomb and torpedo can only be obtained on the map if the total number of players in a game are above a certain number like 8 .below  8 only can use stock weapons stop base ravaging in the early game.

 also hawk users should have weaker radar function as they find you before you escape from your pod because they see you on the radar only way to escape is to use stealth perk. shouldn't have to use perks to kill hawk users. i should have  structures  or  map power ups that do this..
