Let me Keep my old Saron and make this "new one" a seperate weapon

This is horrible i want the old saron my gunner has over 2k kills with it and can snipe a troop/max at 100 meters.

Will the new saron be able to 2 shot a max? NO
Will the new saron be able to 1 shot a Trooper? NO
Will i have wasted 2000 certs on a reload timer thats useless now? YES
Will it have a longer TTK on vehicles at long range? YES


You are changing this weapon far to much. Give us a type B or something.

Definitely a change that kind of takes away the point of the gun in the first place.

The Saron was already inferior to the Halberd. Why did it need to be nerfed?

Hey look at load of people who cant aim have complained so much the weapons has become easy mode close range trash.

Only advantage it had was it could snipe troops at 100 meters. A guy standing still aiming his striker\engineer turret\phoenix at you? BAM dead.

You do realize that the CoF only spreads if you hammer the trigger? The cooldown is like half a second. The thing still has no drop and is quick. It's just not all or nothing now. Rather then a firing delay, you need trigger discipline for targets at long range. Oh noooooo.

Since when is the point of a secondary MBT gun to SNIPE infantry ?
The changed they made now allow you to inflict the SAME damage on large targets in the same amount of time. However you just can't snipe infantry anymore. Get ovet it.

GET OUT

Direct hit damage per shot decreased from 1500 to 425

THAT IS A MASSIVE NERF

Yes, overall it was a nerf because now Saron can no longer (effectively) kill Infantry.

And adding a CoF... Let's just remove skill from the equation.

Not sure what they were thinking.

I personally thought the Saron was in a good place, even the delay was becoming second nature.

I guess this may well end up being apt:

Ermm.... It's been the point to snipe infantry with Saron since it's had that capability for over half a year now?

um its an AV weapon-it is now not as effective vs infantry and is more effective vs vehicles.

Exactly because in the current climate me and my gunners main threat is other tanks XD NO its the millions or dumb AV heavys standing still aiming at me.

at short to medium range. at long range NO

Direct hit damage per shot decreased from 1500 to 425

What it was CAPABLE of is not what the point of a secondary MBT weapon IS or SHOULD BE...That's why they changed it.
Now the game is balanced since there's no secondary MBT that can snipe infantry with 1 shot from 50-100-200m away.

And now you have 6 shots in each clip (6x425=2550) instead of 1.

I agree this needs an option to uncert (altough I wouldn't use it

for a pre-patch saron, get the Halberd.

Since the time infantry started using Pocket AV turrets.

Yes? And that's the problem?

AV tank shells can 1-hit infantry... Yet they're AV weapons... Should we remove that capability too?

You keep repeating that constantly, but did you miss the whole point that it rapid fires now and most likely at perfect accuracy if you have proper fire control?
Are you gonna stop kneejerking over it?
Are you still gonna respond to everything with the same message as if you had a point?

Honestly if this goes through think me and my gunner are quitting ps2.
