Higby, unlimited ammo is about as useful as no bullet drop....

    Then you picked the wrong faction, deal with it or swap factions.

    Yes, let's give the faction that constantly wins more advantages.

    Groovy idea :p

    kinda curious but is the heat mechanic an indirect nerf to engie XP? or does the ammo pack make your gun cool down faster or something? I don't have one of these on my VS toons

    Yeah 50% larger mag >>>> 50% faster reload + awsome hip firing + 0.75x ads move mult.

    Clearly time to leave VS for OP TR traits.

    Oh great - so theoretically I can kill infinite enemies, and all I have to do is live forever to achieve it.

    Now THAT'S easy on Planetside. Not.

    Wonder what the survival time is for the average vehicle ? Wonder how many actually ever need to resupply ! Some yes - most no.

    I see this as a balance nightmare with multiple buff/nerf cycles - shame - I thought the balance was kinda OK right now (a few notable exceptions...)

    The only players pulling vehicles that don't need to resupply are the ones that aren't making enough of an impact on the battlefied to matter.

    How can you possibly nerf the Phaseshift anymore than it already is ? (other than giving the VS the TRAP)

    And I guess asking for a refund is a waste of time..

    Watching TR and VS argue which of them have the worst weapons is surprisingly entertaining.

    So what the point of being able to spray bullets out fast if we cant spray cause of trigger discipline?

    We all have crappy weapons. Some are better than others and some people are just way better players than others.

    BTW, you've killed me a few times. I hate you.

    Here's the Problem with the unlimited ammo Saron. In any battle where the Saron will run out of ammo..... the Maingun will run out faster. The DPS at long range is pitiful, so unless you're sitting back sporadically using the catapult and plinking away forever with the Saron... the FPC/PC/VPC is going to run out fast.

    So in reality... the Saron, being an AV secondary... with unlimited ammo is pretty useless. A case can be made for the PPA, especially on Harassers, or 1/2 MBTs... but for AV work... there is no reason to be using the Saron over the FPC (most of the times you'll be using both 2/2)

    To have a disadvantage penalty applied to the Saron because it has "unlimited" ammo which you'll rarely use... Not worth it.

    THIS.

    SOE please do not give VS unlimited ammo to all their Saron and PPA vehicle secondaries, we do not need the blatant abuse these will see and we surely do not need to watch as hundreds more quit every month over the endless rain of Saron shots and PPA balls from gunners why have no need to bother with these pesky things called ammo conservation and logistics.

    You are literally inviting every VS out there to fire away with impunity because on top of having the most accurate AI and AV secondaries making long-range bombardment and sniping extremely easy, they now also have bottomless magazines - on top of not needing to cert magazine upgrades for their secondaries so they can use those certs on something else, making playing VS even simpler than it is.

    Let's not go there. Let's not make fighting VS even worse.

    If you can't make use of unlimited ammo then you die too often.

    So what SHOULD our trait be, O glorious Battlegoose? Because I'd rather not have Mass Effect weapons for a transhumanist cult.

    Another ******* nerf. This time, NO ONE EVEN KNEW what the weapon did. Priceless.
