Vanu no bullet drop perk is currently useless.

    Can somebody please explain to me why the weapons that would actually benefit from having no bullet drop currently HAVE bullet drop? Why does the faction with the no bullet drop perk have the most drop on our MBT main cannon? It feels like I have to aim at the frickin sky to hit something past 150m. You don't have to make it where it has none but can thay at least make it where the magrider has less than the other factions MBT? I can see why bolt actions have it for balancing reasons but for the sake of the perk they could make having a suppressor on BA Snipers have less drop off compared to TR and NC. I'm just sick of NC and TR spouting the random "VANU OP NO BULLET DROP" BS when currently the perk is pretty much useless at its current state.

    CME, SVA88, Ursa. Don't forget you get high velocity on pretty much everything too as a perk.

    Pulsar LSW, cheap and op.

    I can assume you have never used that thing, because the T9-carv is worlds above it, its one of the worst VS LMGs.

    There is another thread with the exact same topic, probably the exact same title too.

    Lets put it this way OP. What makes the bullet drop or lack of irrelevant is the high velocity of the weapons in general, combined with the small bullet drop weight. Yes, for almost every weapon and almost every situation where bullet drop would be relevant, the contribution is either non existent, or insignificant.

    It's basically a perk that for now does nothing, but might find some practical usage in the future.

    Sort of like having the highest damage per shot with the lowest DPS because of low ROF. Suck it up, no factions trait is an advantage it's always balanced with down sides.

    Now what downsides would you add to the Magrider to give it less drop than it's less mobile competitors? Maybe take away the stabilized turret so you have to stop to fire accurately just as they do? If TR and NC get stabilized turrets I'd be ok with the Magrider having reduced drop.

    People seem to be running out of things to complain about.

    It's handy for the Lasher...and that's about it.

    It was also nice with shotgun slugs but that was also canned too. We actually don't have very many weapons that have no bullet drop.

    The no bullet drop is fantastic for leading targets at range

    not really no, the SVA-88 is one of the highest preforming LMGs in the game. at least before the .75ads nerf.

    I'm wrong for saying that a Bolt Action Sniper and a MBT Cannon would benefit more from no bullet drop than say a close quarters carbine with no bullet drop?

    Compared the the SVA the LSW is garbage.

    It's been removed from weapons that it gave an extreme advantage to.

    AHahhahahaha... you serious..? I think u just installed the game

    Because VS lose nothing in exchange for no bullet drop. Better to have a useless perk than a really marginal useful perk with a real downside, like the old damage dropoff.

    and your personal experience means what compared to the stats that prove it was the highest preforming LMGs in the game?
