Well for one thing they are kind of difficult to hit, they are falling at a very rapid speed being dropped form a ship, technically you would be better off aiming to destroy the ship rather then the titans, since the ship is probably a hittable target. The other problem is that we know you can make it so that your titans are essentially teleported down (it is one of the powers you can put on your titan), making it basically impossible to hit since it now falls pretty much instantaneous. This weapon would also have to be able to pierce through that shield that the titan drops with, and pretty much do it in one shot since i doubt it would have enough time for 2, and it would have to be extremely accurate since a weapon like that would be emplaced artillery, which means if it missed it would do a lot of damage to something you didnt want to hit. In the end there are just far better options, and it would not be worth it, on top of that we dont even seem to have weapons that can one shot a titan when it is on the ground, that is the really dumb part to me, how do we not have anything that is like artillery that deals massive damage to them?

I know you get some fire support near the end of Titanfall 2 campaign, but I think those were orbital bombardments. Seems a bit odd that there's no other cases of area bombings.

Edited by Nickel7Dime: 6/14/2017 10:23:03 PMExactly, like we have these huge ships dropping off freacken titans and we didnt decide to put any guns on them that point down? Since when did air superiority stop being a thing?
-
Seems like aircraft doesn't exist outside of the dropships.

They do, as there's the helicopter like vehicle that transported BT during a loading screen. There are also the fighters shown during both games intros.
-
Oh right! Forgot about those.

I would kind of want to include their ships in space since they can be used to control the air and bombard the ground. But they barely even use those ships, it would take next to nothing to bombard areas from orbit, we can even due that with todays technology if we wanted to, and yet they seem either incapable of it or unwilling to do so for some reason.

Heck, the near future game Blacklight Retribution has both a means to call down hardsuits (think the japanese mech called kurata with legs) and a gun that can mark areas for airstrikes. It's not a crazy idea.

Ya, it makes no sense, and titanfall isnt the first game to have this question raised, i have always found it weird when i am in a game that has satellites and aircraft and you never seem to be allowed to call in airstrikes and stuff, but troops being dropped off and equipment being called in is nothing. It is like whoever made these future ships forgot to put any kind of weapons on them.
