Severly underpowered Terran Republic

not the stats Higby pays attention to.

Try NC/VS out
You will love it at the start then you will slowly hate it. Each faction has a strength, utilise yours
Personally, i find the TR the best.

Tr isnt really underpowered, its just what bad players believe, that thier faction is underpowered, no matter what faction they are.

Im not having any trouble killing vs or nc

Your post was so touching, I must admit I shed a tear.

I like TR's guns the best. My main is Vanu, though, and the Magrider will always be my first priority. Flying tank and all.

If I could get a faction with TR's guns, VS's MBT, and NC's ESF I'd be the happiest person in the room.

Really? No, you're just joking surely? Good joke though I must admit..... I think it is anyway; can't be serious....

Use the tools you have - If your squad gets stomped you as a leader is doing something wrong. No offence.

TR underpowered?

lol I love the forums, always good for a laugh...

Goddammit, I thought your name sounded familiar. You killed me the other day in a really cheap way and your name stands out in my head.

Just FYI the NS pistol is a 3 shot kill unless you get a headshot, reducing it's kill per magazine/clip/whatever in exchange for a bit more effectiveness. It does 1 shot headshot non nanoweaved infiltrators though, but why any infi would be running without nano is beyond me.

Beamer, despite being comically bad COMPARED to the other factions weapons, isnt that bad. I use it over my NS44 if I'm having low fps and can't reliably hit every shot.

Almost no exp. with the magrider

TR smg is fine, It's one of my most used weapons. Not highest rof and super low damage at any range + super slow bullets, but equipable on all classes and a good bullethose w/ that 60 round mag and quick reload.

I'd imagine vortex would be best used in a group of 4 or so, 2 dual vortex maxes on each tower of an amp station or something guarded by a few heavies/engies/medics would make for a pretty beastly defense, although I guess a locked down fracmax could do the same.

Belieb it or not, despite what some might say, balance is kinda OK as far as balance gets. It's hard doing the whole f2p model because there has to be LOTS of guns > LOTS of stuff to balance.

Everything has it's niche, some moreso than others.

TR has a bunch of great stuff. If you don't like it, you probably won't like anything on NC or VS either... but you can always give it a shot and, you know, switch to the faction you like most. I won't mind. Nobody will mind. It's your game man.

Well thats why we have 3 factions
Each faction has got something good going for it

Oh, I know, that's why my flyboy is NC, my tanker is VS, and my Rambo-dude is TR. TR isn't underpowered by any means, though.

Severely under powered...............................................................Come on...

Severely? Oh, the embellishment and sensationalism. Can you identify specific problems you are having?

That one detail tells me you haven't really use the Phoenix. The launcher is actually very very bad a closer range because of the need to be in the camera (no movement), very slow velocity and the fact that if you don't exit the camera in time, you are stuck with a 1½sec of statics. Exiting the camera also remove most of the velocity on the rocket as well.

As soon as any NC HA get close to a building, switching to a dumbfire launcher is a must.


If anything, the Phoenix is unique in its genre. It cannot compete at longer range (300m range limit) and it's pretty bad at closer range. The slow speed make it awful as AA. It's pretty much a medium range anti-tank launcher.

I dont really think there is a best tank tbh. Personal preferences

Yeah, personal preference is right. I started with the Magrider, and it's so... DIFFERENT! I love it!

Once you've learned to drive a Mag it's hard to switch to a different tank.

i recommend vanu, even if you are the worst aimer in first person shooters those weapons will make you look good, it's a big difference in accuracy between tr and vs ones, crazy!
