[Suggestion] New long range automatic rifle for the TR combat medic.

It would maybe be a nice feature to have a slower rate of fire automatic weapon for the TR with a higher damage profile than normal tr assault rifles. Because as it is now the TR medic weapon arsenal is a bit plain with the Sabr as a exeption. Just something like the NC A-tross or the Reaper DMR.

That's the thing though: Then you'd just have an NC weapon.

On my end, I'd like a 909 rpm blender-on-a-stick like the TR. I'd also really like the amazing 1x sights the VS has. But I can't have them.

And frankly? I want it to stay that way. It gives everyone some flavor to have things other people cant, and vice versa. Am I jealous of the fact that TR MAX's can walk around with MINIGUNS? Yes. Yes I am.

But they're also jelly my MAX has a 300 meter anti-vehicle zerg launcher that basically sticks tanks into a giant meat grinder.

And am I jealous the VS have a ridiculous, range-defying, practically hitscan rocket launcher? Yes.

But I also have a camera-guided rocket that can smack up tanks behind cover and change the entire progress of zergs by denying cover repairing.

That's how it needs to stay. You don't have things for a reason, we don't have things for a reason, and we both have things the other one can't. If you just got an 'NC' style weapon, then why should I play NC!

Then tell me why that some weapons are still based on TR weaponry, The desperado was based on the repeater, the GD-7F, GR-22 was probably just a counter to the VS and TR rate of fire weaponry, Then why the TR just may not have a hard hitting automatic weapon for longer ranges?

The best long Range AR the the TR have currently is the SABR which does hit pretty hard, although it is burst fire. If the TR ever do get a full auto long range AR it would probably do 167 damage at max and shoot at 577 RPM.

I would do it for that, Just give us a cougar AR version, And give the NC and VS just some inacurate bullet hoses and were equal again.

good attitude about imbalances balancing, but hearing an nc say in any world that the Phoenix is in any way balanced to other option is laughable, you cant set up a sundy any where near an nc spawn. this mechanic should have been changed long ago, there is only one real purpose to this weapon, and that is complete armor denial. its more effective than a base turret,

It is balanced compared to the Lancer. The Lancer is capable of shutting down zergs from a mile away.

What it is not balanced in comparison to is the Striker. That thing has no niche.

the lancer cant peak corners,
I have heard vs saying they love it I bought one, and I wish I didn't, I don't like it, my air lock was much better, I would trade for a pheonix any day, serves the purpose far better,
the lancer is a shoot me in the head flare fountain,
that still has been nerfed a bit too hard, and is only really useful when you have 3+ shooting,
the lancer may be able to take out los targets a bit better, but the pheonix has no match in this game,

I think this is just an issue of 'the grass is always greener'.

The Prowler has no match in long-ranged warfare.

The Lancer is the best long-ranged rocket launcher.

VS AV Max has awesome range and fast weapons.

TR have the best AI infantry weapons on their max.

I mean, yeah, the Phoenix is awesome. But it can't curve as tight as you think, it's limited to 300 meters of travel (which you usually burn 100 meters of making the curve), and it doesn't do all that much damage.

Sure, you may be jelly of the phoenix. But if you like the NC toys, join the NC.

I play on NC some times, I play on all the factions some times, thats why I feel confident when I say the video guided rocket didn't need a nerf it needed a different mechanic,
the strategy you use when attacking NC is different than any other faction, to assault an nc base in any case that you could be peaked by a phoenix, you need to bring tons of sundies, own the air and immediately lock down the spawn.
nothing else will work, if you assault VS or TR this is not true, scaled attacks are common. and positioning ams is merely a line of fire question, the pheonix, is the weakest launcher for damage, but that doesn't mater, the ability to keep sustained damage on vehicles behind cover from safety, is more than a strength, it is unparalleled,

I choose to play vs most for cosmetic reasons, not weapons, but wit resent developments I see no reason to play them any more other than my unlocks, I would play but for some reason soe decided you need multiple characters, a truly terrible system,

We got the SABR-13, you don't need another AR. The thing is beastly, even outside the hands of a headshot fairy.

Yes we might have the SABR but what other option do we have, compared to the other factions they even have superior weaponry when it comes down to close range. And for TR medics the SABR is probably the only weapon that works but then again if you cant get like a 60% headshot ratio on that weapon its just worse cus of less controlable and less damage then the NC and slower bullets and bullet drop compared to the VS long range AR weapons.


Its just a sugestion but a bit of options to pick would be great.

No, I'm fine with heading into mid-range combat and destroying all NC with the TORQ-9. Well, if I run into a heavy I won't win unless I pull off some major adad crouch action but other than that, I'll just kill and kill and kill.

Serious question, what "superior weaponry when it comes to close range" are you talking about when it comes to the VS and you do know the Corvus has the lowest TTK of any primary in the game outside of the NS-15 while not getting access to things like an advanced grip or the 25% compensator right?

SABR is the only gun you really need for the situation, it is the (2nd) best burst fire weapon in the game outside of possibly the repeater.

Sabr is the only gun we have in any situation when it comes down for longer ranges, And as vanu you have the corvus wich has acces to a compensator and it has the same bullet damage and maybe even a same fire rate (taking in note that the Sabr is burst so
you dont get the full 600 rpm out of it) wich makes it the together with the corvus the slowest TTK primary?

Then another point i said faster bullets for vs, as i noticed you were br 100 you probs dont know ur CME?

As TR we only have 1 AR wich is made for the long range, all other factions have at least 2.

I would say it's better then the honored TX1, ONLY because the TX1 is restricted to short range. I still love my repeater more then any other side arm; but I feel that it's only flaw should still be acknowledged.

Faction diversity is one of the most important things right now.

This coming from the shotgun MAX faction?

Hah. Ah hah. Hahahahahaha!
You're kidding me, right? You realize that Scatmaxes are called that for two reasons, right? The scattering pellets, and the scattering few survivors of your rampage. People whine about the pounders, and they're good at AI as well, sure, but honestly suck at AV unless you become very good at compensating for the drop. Other than that, we have the Mercies, which I've never used so I can't comment on them.

I'd be fine with TR having no slow and hard hitting weapons if it meant we had very few semi-auto and more burst weapons, and if the special weapons for NC were shotguns and such. However, I do think NC weapons have way too little recoil for how hard they hit. I wish my smaller caliber but faster RoF T1 Cycler was as easy to control as the NC1 Gauss Rifle, since they advertised NC weapons as low RoF, high power, high recoil weapons.

Buuuuut oh well. All unique things go to NC and VS I guess. I'll just sit here with my grenade launchers that are glitchy and don't always kill with two direct hits. Mostly because my special ability is to lock down and not be able to move. With AV weapons with almost no range.
