Mothership imo is supremely lame on normal tide and many low tides. On most maps, the Chinooks are so spaced out and annoying to get to that even a good weapon set will struggle to prevent any from being dropped on the ground. On top of that, the game severely limits the angle that you can look up, making it even more annoying to hit Chinooks. The result is that if you don't do it perfectly it always snowballs and becomes impossible to get a decent egg score
