It’s not strange to have one weapon being the most meta one in the server. Spear or any long poking stick has been THE meta for a long time, backed by bow. Then crossbow came along, then gun. All these are very much usable by peasant that can be quickly trained to use one. Drone though, that thing need time to specialise. It’s the new meta because the thing is cheap to produce and can defeat million dollar equipment easily
Am not looking forward when automated murder drone became the new meta.

These people talk like they just love war. That’s how you know they’ve never been in one.

The poorer/newer soldiers who couldn’t afford their own equipment? Honestly, that’s how everyone did it for a millenium.
The whole concept of the Velites is fucking wild:
“Hey, you’re young and poor as shit, go to the frontline and throw some sticks on those heavily armed guys lol here’s a wolf hat you fucking loser lmao”
What drone is OP getting that it’s only $35? I don’t think I’ve seen them from anything less than about $200 and a good one is about $500 to $700
Analog fpv drone is at least €150 when produced on a mass scale. Parts alone.
This is nowhere near 35 bucks cheap.
But those FPV drones have to be reusable. A kamikaze drone only needs to last long enough to get to the target. Motors, batteries, etc don’t need to have long lifetimes. Think about how cheap the battery can be if it doesn’t need to be rechargeable. If the motor needs at most 5 hours of runtime?
Even if they have a 10% spontaneous failure rate of they’re 30% the price it’d still be worth it.
I don’t know all the specific models and everything, but I do know drone warfare has been a pretty big deal and so has trying to make the cheapest ones possible. Here’s a good video on the topic: https://youtu.be/V3eOjRhihLU
I’ve flown a number of drones and the best drone I’ve flown that clocks in under £100 is a tiny-whoop and they’re absolutely not fit for combat lol.
Tiny-whoop more reffers to a class of FPVs rather than any specific drone. They’re small enough to be flown around indoors and typically weigh in at under 25g TOM. I guess you could use one for surveillance or scoping out a building in the field but defo not for combat lol
