I was interested to discover that the Needler is getting its clip extended by 5 bullets (reverting an earlier nerf), but disappointed to find the M18 Rotary is not. Why? The 10% extra damage per clip is currently the *only* advantage the M18 has over other faction rotaries. Vortek gets DPS and longer falloff range. Hailstorm gets bullet speed and quick reloads. M18 gets *barely* better damage per clip. Please consider increasing the one advantage the M18 has to be enough to be useful. Thanks! TL;DR: Please give the M18 a bit more dakka so there's a good reason to use it.
Max damages:- Vortek DPM:- 8000 Hailstorm DPM:- 8050 M12 DPM:- 9000 The DPM difference is more than 10%, i can say that without even doing the calculations. Vortek DPS:- 4000 Hailstorm DPS:- 3285 M12:- 3333 Why do you need the buff again? Just saying, the hailstorm does not get MV. Just saying the 5 bullets to needler does not compare to 5 bullets on a rotary.
Basing my numbers on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...5zV3NaU2JzU2FTV1daSW5rTnc&usp=drive_web#gid=5 Current damage per mag: M18: 11400 Vortek: 10560 Hailstorm: 10350 M18 damage per mag is 8% better than Vortek and 10% better than Hailstorm. If we give the M18 five more bullets, M18 damage per mag becomes 12400. That's 17% better than Vortek and 20% better than Hailstorm.
