Yeh, take that dmg you think is high as a TR player and multiple it by 3 and you ahve what VS players are forced to deal with.
Charged vortexes take 60% longer time to destroy vehicles than fractures. If you don't charge them it takes 10% more time. Just aim at a vehicle and keep hitting the fire button.
doing that you will hit exactly: Nothing Uncharged shots bloom all over the place and have terrible velocity. Charged shots are okay, considering you can hit reliably with it and get a lot of assists and kill steals, that's about it though.
E Specially the Charge up mechanic - which leaves you vulnerable, useless and in most cases after charge up - out of range or in the wrong position compared to your target - just to achieve even lower total dmg with 3 charges than the Raven or the TR equivalent - makes the Vortex a complete waste of time and money. CHARGE UP - The most uncreative and proven most worthless game mechanic, which I have seen in a long time - is being copied in pure ignorance in almost all VS specific weapons without reassurance of validity. In summary the SOE chosen empire specific mechanic of the VANU is a massive Drop in DPS per second, leaving VS specific weapons only viable in ultra longrange fights and with the lowest impact of all weapons. I dont wanna hear the mentally backwarded argument of the Vortex being a group weapon - because when you take the Raven or TR equivalent weapon as a group weapon, then they will cover the whole battlefield in fire and AOE DMG explosions while the ray-tarded vortex is a single target weapon and is not even dmg-ing infantry. IT shows 1 thing VERY CLEAR. The majority of SOE developers and decision makers play NC/TR exxlusively and constantly show the erected middle finger to every paying and subscribing VS player. Do you think its unprofessional that SOE devs and decision makers selfcater with overpowred weapons in favor of their own fanboy faction? I would say yes - what do you think?
I've tested both these weapons ... if you can't hit a most vehicles from 150m with the fracture you need glasses. The drop is minimal and the speed to target is less then 1 second. You do tons more damage then the vortex too.
ooookkkaaayy! There is another draw back to the vortex ... the huge bright *** balls of glowing light that show all enemies within 500m exactly where you are.
I used to play as a MAX class a lot in PS1. In PS2 I started it again but now I almost never do it again. VS MAXs are just crap (like most of our stuff ... actually I Wonder why I keep to this faction ...)
True for all VS weapons - Comet - the Lasher - the Scythe Pods - the Magrider maingun shots - every VS specific weapon is giving the enemy a clear indication where to shoot - even when TR/NC/VS fight in the same spot - VS specific weapons lead to the psychological conclusion for TR/NC to focus on the VS player which openly reveiled its position as high thread target.
Yes but one engeneer can repair these damage very easy... And the tank can move a bit and ull miss a lot. And a buggy will come he's to fast for the 450m/s and an heavy assault come kill u with his basic TR rifle without reload...
Nice squad spot bonus streak, could have done the exact same thing with a heavy and the lancer(but with AI capabilities). with the Fractures/Ravens, you can go out there and be on the front lines instead of the second floor of a spawn room.
Yes, good plan here. with 0.39 cof compared to raven and fracture 0.10 its very easy to keep spamming them. You wont hit a single **** if you spam the key, unless you are melee range,.
For the love that all that is holy please don't cry about my beloved vortex, they might saron "buff" them. Ask NC and TR how they feel about the vortex on Briggs hehe. Entire armor columns ruined and next to nothing they can do about it at that range. We get a few of us doing it in a lattice chokepoint and watch all their armor zerg start tripping over itself trying to get away xD
