If I were to go in a fight with a Freeze I will win. If it's drugging he will most likely win because he will still be shooting me will I use my health kit. And reload much quicker. If you just shoot with Fire, you will get killed soon. You need skill to avoid getting killed. With Freeze, if you are behind, it's game over. I do not see how one can come to a conclusion that Fire doesn't need skill.

  A person who doesn't turn their turret would have life much easier with Freeze then Fire. If the guy turns his turret, Firebird will become dramatically more effective. Turret rotation=skill. Or improvements

 

BTW Dragon you wouldn't want to play with me then :P

Reason: Fire unlocks WAY earlier (to a Recruit). M1 unlocks earlier than Freeze and it is almost 1/3 the price. You can also wreck people because you have an M1 when everyone else has M0's and the same skill level as you

You see?

That's just M1 when it's effective. Try using M1 Fire against M2 Hunters and Mammoths. Even Hornets are a pain to kill. A Freeze M0 can take down an M2 Mammoth by just sneaking up: M1 Fire gets wrecked.

you kidding? i take a whole charge to kill a non protected mammy m2 with my MU'd

an m0 wouldnt survive,time he deals enough damage there's 800 deaths from the mammoths mates or in a dm from the others

the mammoth wouldnt even consider that a danger,just annoyance

Ok so basically, one turret renders your enemy almost inable to fight back within a few seconds. The other one lets the enemy respond fully and easily. It is obvious that Firebird requires more skill with light hulls, I don't see how we can't agree on this?

Depends.

 

Somebody using a paint with good (20%+) Firebird protection will usually survive afterburn if they have decent health. At Generalissimo, Zeus paint makes Firebird almost completely useless.

 

Also, what's to say that Firebird won't run out of charge like the Freeze in your example? Freeze can actually shoot for 2 seconds longer than Firebird (and it recharges quicker), so I often die more when using Firebird.

@Dark.Shado: If you have ever actually used Firebird, you would know that steal kills occur muchly.

 

And as Penguin said, my Storm with 22% protection against Firebird lets me easily run away from Fires and live. Freeze shoots for 2 seconds longer and any Freeze protection doesn't stop you getting frozen.
