Saron on Harasser?

[Will Pstwo]

So I was in my lightning fighting this guy in a harrasser (which usually go down very easily...) I don't know exactly what happened, but he took me down with only 2 clips of the Saron. Is the gun really that powerful, or did I miss something? Because it takes 3-4 shots from my lightning turret to kill harrassers, making harrassers more powerful than a tank, but only for vanu. Maybe I got hit somehwere else and didn't notice it...2 (very fast firing) clips to down a tank is pretty scary, is it really that strong?

Thanks to the VR area it's fairly easy to check that yourself...

All the harasser AT weapons are extremely strong when attacking from behind:
Attacking Lightning from behind:
Halberd: 3(3) Shots(Clips) 7 Sek
Saron: 12 (2) Shots(Clips) 8 Sek
Enforcer:8 (1) Shots(Clips) 8 Sek

From the sides it takes 3 full clips + (1-2) shots of the saron to kill a lightning and 4 full clips from the front.

Okay thank you, very helpful!

I've been surprised at the durability of the Harasser. IMHO, they feel like it takes about 1 shot too many to bring them down.

Its the rear armour weakness on the lightning and MBT , and the fact that too many people use 1 person MBTs thats the problem, not the power or survivability of the harraser.

With regards to harraser VS lightning thats generaly a 1V2 or in some cases a 1V3 fight so you should expect it to be a hard fight. The problem here is DriverASGunner VS Dedicated Driver. 99% of the time the lightning sits still so it can land its shots, the harraser doesnt so easily gets 1-2 ass shots. BOOM dead lightning. Ironicaly the best lightning turret for anti harraser work is the viper due to its fire rate and the fact that missing with 1 round isnt such a loss.

If its a 1 person harraser then theres no excuse for recieveing multiple rear shots and the lightning should win.

Most harassers run with composite armor which is a 24% reduction from ALL damage. It's not a good idea to run a harasser without it imo, you'll get ripped to shreds.
