Will vs get some massive buffs now with the massive underpop

    So much exaggeration! I seriously doubt the Magrider as a whole is worse at AI than the Vanguard o_O First of all, the PPA is miles ahead of any other AI secondary the other factions have, combined with the Magrider HE/HEAT actually getting comparable KPU to the Prowler. The Prowler is a more effective AI (and everything) in general for 1/2 purposes, but once they are 2/2, the Magrider is far superior for AI. In my opinion, most of it doesn't even stem from the Magrider main guns being superior to the Prowlers (because they obviously aren't for AI purposes) but rather that the Magriders have access to a lot of areas that the other tanks cannot get to, and such areas can be quite profitable for farming infantry. Part of the asymmetrical balance I guess (by this I'm not saying the Magrider is 100% on par with the other two overall). One thing I also find interesting about a lot of people, is that they seem to fear Prowlers more than Magriders. I for one cannot comprehend this, I find Prowlers so easy to destroy and rarely a threat (at least alone), whereas a competent Magrider crew can really be annoying (I certainly fear competent Magriders much more than competent Prowlers).

    VS needs buffs? Wat.

    VS is still the easiest faction, they have a ton of good weapons.
    NC is strong if you can handle high recoil.
    TR is weakest ATM.

    I actually enjoy the underpop a lot when i play VS because we often get +50% XP underpop bonus. This + 50% membership bonus and other boni = 100-130% XP bonus. Also, NC and TR are often easy to farm because they have no organizazion and little teamwork.

    Yes.

    VS has the best weapons because, I don't know, they have no bullet drop?
    NC recoil is hard to control, because it only goes upward and it is so frustratingly hard to pull the mouse down.
    And TR has the weakest weapons because they got VS weapons with +10 bullets, BUT suffer bullet drop.

    Right?

    VS is the easiest faction??

    Why? Wich Weapons? Give me details!

    And if u know say because we have no bullet drop.... lol when was your last fight where bullet drop was really important??
    Ah btw our tanks have the highest bullet drop ;)

    have no idea why there is a TR lobby saying that the VS is the easiest faction.

    So give me details why!!!

    Population imbalance is only an issue when its the TR or NC that's holding the last place, so, i don't see any problems.

    In general, the low recoil makes weapons easier to use.

    Solstice best stock carbine. Great allrounder.
    Serpent the best or one of the best CQC carbines. (I havent tried the NC GD-7F, so i cant say which is better.)
    Orion best stock LMG and one of the best LMG in general.
    Parallax VX3 powerful and easy to use sniper rifle (no bullet drop).
    Blueshift best allround AI MAX weapon. ->Double Blueshift MAX is best MAX in the game IMO.
    Comets are awesome because they are super accurate and have no bullet drop.

    Rocket launchers and shotguns are pretty much the same on all 3 factions, so no imbalance there.

    I find scythe is easiest to fly because its so maneuverable, but i rarely use aircraft so i cant say which ESF is best.

    I'm leaving VS as well, funnily enough because of the upcoming viper uber-nerf.

    Tank play is a big part of game experience for me. Since that floating pink pillow has basically zero appeal to a tank enthusiast I was left with trying to make my lighnting a competetive fighting machine and that meant, yes you guessed it, viper the default gun. Now that's gone and I'll have to leave my BR58 vanu behind...

    So, which other empire has a "tankier" MBT? When I say "tankier" I don't mean an 8 year old's idea of a tank as a clunky iron box with a gun sticking out at top. I'm thinking more a proper modern MBT, you know one which can actually kill stuff on the move and feels more like a heavy metal beast rather than a concrete pillbox on tracks.

    I'm not saying that VS is worse then the other factions, all of them got their upps and downs.
    But i hate that ppl keeps saying that VS is easy mode, they all have their strength. Controling the recoil is no problem at all, if you spent some time whit FPS. Stop saying that eny faction is easy, not pointing at just you, but everyone.

    Magrider needs to be balanced in speed and projectile speed (drop)
    Max ability ZOE needs to be buffed
    Lancer need more damage or more charges, it's useless and ALL THE STATISTICS SAY THAT

    AND WHY THE HELL DO NC GET A SNIPER RIFLE 1 HIT HEADSHOT KILL WITH NO RECOIL?
    AND WHY DID THEY NERF THE SHOTGUNS BULLET DROP, MAKING IT VS NERF BECAUSE WE HAD NO DROP?
