250, I'm going to assume it's not much, but I don't know. I got a bunch at SXSW because they gave them away at the alienware booth for playing Tribes/BF3 on the stage and for answering trivia questions. | ||

Doombringers, which are a standard defensive class, can shut down shrikes in a fairly large radius, especially if they station themselves in the midfield in a secure position, making them nigh on unassailable with their mines and chaingun while keeping the shrike pinned down in the hills in the back of the map to break LoS on you. That said, they can be taken out by infiltrators, which also happen to be the effective counter to sentinels standing in one spot all day taking potshots at pathfinders trying to take the flag. | ||

The shrike can just fly at you and eat 1 missile to pop you up and splatter you. A doombringer will only mildly annoy a good shrike. | ||

Doombringers shouldn't leave the base, They are useless in the midfield and at the enemy base. To stop a good sentinel you have to not care about points and make it your sole duty to annoy him. Don't kill the sentinel, just fire at him and hide. Make it so he rarely gets a good shot in. If you kill the sentinel he'll spawn in 5 seconds and continue doing his job and making your job (finding him and stopping him from shooting) even harder. | ||

In my experience, the doombringer can put 2-3 missiles in the air if he engages at a large distance. If I recall correctly, the doombringer does not have to relock after firing, so quite a few missiles can be lobbed fairly quickly. Also, the shrike may have to spend a few seconds to find the doombringer before heading to him, adding even more time for the doombringer to put up the 3 missiles to force the shrike out of LoS. | ||

After the first missile is fired the shrike pilot will know your general location. He can the weave in and out of LOS blockers to get close to the doombringer. Also, I have seen shrike pilots just turn around and shoot the missiles out of the air with the shrike missile/their SMG if they are not close to any LOS blockers. | ||
