    Orion is widely considered the best LMG in the game, unless something has changed recently.
    Railjack is a POS.
    Our maxs shine where all maxs are supposed to?? Youll have to link the dev that has said this because as far as im aware theyve never said 'all maxs should be effective at close range'.
    Jackhammer is good, but it depends on playstyle, i know lots of players who hate shotguns and dont use them, prefering automatics, this alienates part of the NC empire from their heavy weapon.
    You should realy look at more than damage per shot where weapons are concerned. Enforcer is not as good as a saron.

    Ok then nerf prowler and vanguard damage against air with 80% to make it fair...

    wut? all the mag needs is more vertical elevation on the main gun, which it should get.

    And give prowlers and vanguard the ability to strafe to make it fair...

    and less drop and higher projectile speed...

    And let's not forget the Lightning while we are at it. Same velocities and drop. No point in buffing one whilst forgetting the other.

    TR thinks they're UP.
    NC thinks they're UP.
    VS thinks they're UP.

    Well a lightning has not got a fixxed turret pointing down in the ground now has it?

    Wow! Strafing! You dear sir is a GENIUS! Next time a much more agile ESF swoops down on my mag in well over 200km/h ill just strafe either left or right! (i wont tell wich to make it harder!) in 20km/h thus making it impossible for him to hit me! That makes it unnecessary for me to be able to shoot back since im un-hittable!

    Thank you sir! You should write a manual in driving Magriders, your wisdom will help a great many noobs like me!

    Yes, but it has less armor does not have a powerful secondary. That is my reasoning behind a small velocity boost.

    I have no problem with being underpopulated IF the % numbers ar from a full server. Since the server ar almost empty except for EU primetime on cobalt a large underpop means 10 guys vs 60 guys. Thats just not fun.
    If its 300 vs 500 i dont care couse they split up and there ar meny places with good fights going on no matter the population %.

    You should really try out dual-vortex. Gives VS Max more AV range than any other. It's even mildly effective AA, and I've gotten some Inf kills with it hitting slightly wounded infantry at 150m with dual charged shots

    otherwise, sure, our MAX is slightly under-performing but it's not as bad as you make it out to be really.

    Really, it's not that VS MAX needs buffing, it's just pounders need a slight lil tweak in effectiveness.

    C75 is one of the last weapons in need of a buff

    Why are most of the threads posted very similar to troll threads this week? Is April Fools now a month long event?

    I probably should have mentioned that I was talking about the Python guns. C75 is stupidly powerful in AV and AI. Nerf either one and I would be happy. But yeah, no buffs in velocity for the C75 and Skyguard.
  17. Ronin Oni

    uh, what?

    I'm pretty sure Mag AP is about = to Python HEAT in velocity/drop

    Haven't compared numbers of course, that's just going off general feeling. In any case, it definitely feels like Python HEAT is faster with less drop than the Mag HEAT variant (used both a lot for a while, switched to AP variant on Mag, and C75 on lightning :p Back to HEAT on lightning now though)

    Hopefully the wiki can be accurate for just this once...
    Lightning
    AP: 225 m/s
    HEAT: 200m/s
    HE: 175 m/s (standard across all factions)
    C75: 200 m/s
    Skyguard: 400 m/s

    Magrider
    FPC (AP): 225 m/s
    PC (HEAT): 200 m/s
    VPC (HE): 175 m/s (standard across all factions)

    So they are the same if the wiki is indeed accurate (minus the Viper and Skyguard, which have no magrider equivalents).
  19. WetPatch

    Lightning AP cannon will out DPS the Magrider FPC even when both are fully upgraded. The tank is basically balanced on the Saron.

    The best players of the game play VS, that is why VS always get nerfed and gets weak stuff.


    We don't need numbers or good gear to own. Cobalt power.
