I really don´t know what you have against the Pulsar. The only real difference is the ADS movementspeed and the recoil pattern which is going up and to the right, what i actually prefer over the gittery left and right recoil of the SVA-88. But SVA-88 master-race and Pulsar LSW is bad... yeah... I don´t see a reason to spend SC for a weapon that only costs 250 certs anyway.
I don't know what's wrong with it, but I felt really uncomfortable, I didn't get bad results though (similar K/D and KPM compared to the SVA)
Horrific experiences with it. The TTK seems to be forever. Catch guys AFK from behind, unload from 10m and they still almost win fire fights. Its actually quite sad.
Carv-S > Polaris At least the Carv-S is a SVA-88 with less perks, i.e. better than the Pulsar LSW, but worse than the SVA-88 (no ADS movement).
I got the Auraxiom medal for the CARV-S. It was the longest, most unenjoyable spam of completionist effort I've ever expended. The only that is going worse is the newly patched striker - on second thought, screw the new striker.
It was my first Auraxium. That said, I had 800+ kills before they nerfed it into filth. I know someone whose first Auraxium was with the TR Battle Rifle tho, so I feel a little outdone.
yeah...the 143/698 is the same. But now check the other stats Reload time: SVA is 3.065 / 4.18 sec were the CARV-S has 5.11 / 6.11 sec...oh...SVA is better here First shot recoil multiplier: 1.5 for SVA and 1.6 for the CARV-S...and again the winner is the SVA Vertical Recoil: 0,2 for the SVA and 0,225 for the CARV-S...damn...SVA again Recoil Decrease: 13 for the SVA and 12...oh...SVA is the better ADS movment speed multiplier: 0.75 for the SVA and only 0,5 for the CARV-S....wow...SVA again CoF ADS: 0.1/0.35/3 with the SVA vs 0.1/0.4/3 from the CARV-S...well...SVA CoF Hip: Stand 2,5/3/5/7 Crouch 2/2,5 on the SVA and 3/4/7/7-2.5/3 for the CARV-S...SVA (becomes boring, huhu?) Bulletspeed: 630 m/s SVA and 600 CARV-S...i think i dont need to say it again, right? AND now after all the catagorys the SVA is better here the ones where the CARV-S beats the SVA tatattatattataaaa Ammo 100/300 for the CARV-S and 75/225 for the SVA and and... and.......well...thats all whoever in SOE is responsible for the SVA and the CARV-S in its current forms ingame should be kicked in the *** till he/she could clean the shoes of the kicker with his tongue
In the short time I spent on Connery post PU02, the CARV-S's recoil feels significantly better. Does that mean it is actually a viable gun now? Can't wait for Connery to go back up so I can take it for a spin.
Magazine size is the single most important of all the stats mentioned there (after damage/ROF which are the same for both), of course I'm not saying the CARV-S is better than the SVA-88 because in the trade off the SVA wins, but downgrading the importance of a large magazine size is just wrong.
CARV-S is a very underrated gun, IMO. Best gun in game? No. Still pretty good? Yes. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it. Haven't gotten the chance to test its PU2 version yet, but I imagine it'll be even better now with its all-round reduced recoil. Might well be worth a try now, even if you didn't like it before.
