<div class="IPBDescription">yes!</div>I saw the great video of the Lerk.

But i have some suggestion, please add some sharp wings, which means if you fly through a group of marines and "touch" them with the wings, you did a bit of damage and/or push them a bit away.

    We don't even know what the Lerk's abilities are yet. Besides, this sounds a bit too similar to autobite. We don't want to reward people for having the "skill" of running directly at their opponents.

    Awesome animations. UWE have outdone themselves.

    The lerk model just looks... like one of those annoying birds. Like Toucan Sam (Frootloops). The bone on the "beak" should be sized down a bit more and have a slender head. That's just my opinion.

    It doesn't look intimidating enough.

    Depends on lerk ability set in my opinion. I'm still quite confused on how the flight model and spikes are going to work together, but having some option of delivering melee damage with good flight system sounds like a decent feature even if lerk is mostly ranged combatant.

    From the last sound in the video it does suggest that while the lerk may not have it's bite anymore it does do some degree of melee damage. Definently sounds like the marine gets his faced pierced or slashed by one of the spike launchers in the end. So perhaps the lerk will have some kind of piercing/blunt damage upon jousting with it's opponent head on. This will likely be hard to pull off though unless it's argued that it's large boned beak offers it additional armor protection when flying head on towards someone.

    If Lerk is flying close to max flight speed decapitation occurs?

    Yes please.

    How about if a lerk is flying at full speed and rams into a marine that it knocks him down, and then the lerk can try to kill the marine with bites. Then after 500 ms the marine can shoot with his pistol or attack with knife only, putting more emphasis on other marines needing to save you. Just don't let lerks do this against heavies because that would be too overpowered.
