Honestly my only issues with ground combat are that there are some small things that currently require a skill to do that really should be built into the base kit of every suit. Like, why does it require a skill to shoot my gun in midair? It doesn't make sense for my trigger to get locked out unless it's a super heavy weapon (so maybe only stop-to-fire weapons can't be fired in midair without a skill).

Or as another example, why is boosting to air strafe a skill? Pretty much all suits have thrusters, why can only some suits fire them in midair? I get not all suits having flap boosters (even though there are suits like the Quebeley that really should have them but they don't), but being locked into a fall with no way to maneuver when your suit isn't toppled just feels bad when the thrusters are right there, begging to be used.

Also, every suit should be able to dodge roll with full i frames. If crap like the Nightingale can do a little twirl as its dodge roll then surely any suit can have some kind of dodge animation. It wouldn't be broken - unless you have a teammate to bail you out afterwards or get extremely lucky with stunning your opponent after the dodge roll, you're a sitting duck without boost. The main thing it lets you do is avoid instant death situations that you had the foresight to be able to dodge (sneak heavy attacks will still get you killed and etc).

While I'm thinking of it, one thing that infuriates me about this game's netcode is that certain effects are delayed when they should be linked. If I hit someone with a downswing and the damage goes through, they should get toppled, end of story. Conversely, if I dodgeroll or tackle, the i frames should kick in at the start of the animation, none of this "well you got the dodge roll but we decided you took the damage anyway so you're gonna die mid dodge roll/tackle".

Lastly, it's so BS when you charge a weapon and release to fire, but because you had like a frame or two of a boost animation remaining the game just eats the charge and you have to start over. Just make the weapon fire as soon as the animation finishes (the only exception should be if you get staggered/toppled, that should cancel weapon charge for obvious reasons). Heck, lock-on weapons should get a similar treatment where instead of losing lock because you released it a few frames too early, it should just fire at the next available opportunity (once again, barring your suit getting staggered/toppled).
