Higby Tweets Weapon Changes


VS
VS weapon tuning; faster projectile speed (fastest per weapon now), less damage loss at long range. Better emphasis on high accuracy.
Good news.


TR
@demonicking08 TR are best fire rate, best overall DPS, best sustained damage. Low recoil, medium damage, large ammo capacity.
Best rate of fire and low recoil? I'm trying to see some draw backs to playing TR and I'm not seeing them.

Re: Higby Tweets Weapon Changes


Maybe they are going for less burst, consistant damage and larger CoF ? i.e. accuracy from bullet storm rather than accurate fire.

The low recoil/high RoF would be to facilitate sustained fire over a target and compensate for inaccuracy.

In short, you will fire a lot (high ammo/high RoF/lower damager per bullet but higher damage output) over an area you can easily (less recoil) but inaccurately (higher RoF) aim at.

So VS is easy aim mode,

Skilled TR players will own, the rest of the TR will get owned.

And NC arent mentioned which means HIgby secretly buffed them to own everything but the most skilled TR players.

Just my sarcastic opinion

DISCLAIMER: this is all theorycraft.


VS easy mode ? He never mentionned VS weapons would hurt as much...


Considering that:
- NC are supposed to hurt a lot (high damage per shot but lower quantity of bullets per time and a hard time controlling sustained fire)
- TR are said to have the highest damage output (less accurate but high quantity of bullets per time landing with an easier time controlling sustained fire)
- VS will have the least damage-degradation, high accuracy (small CoF? less CoF expansion? Does it include recoil?) and near-instant hits

If you play VS, you better be able to aim and pray Vanu really hard cause you're in for a rough ride if you can't.


Also, remember that recoil+accuracy drop when you get hit ? That's right, the TR have it good.


IMO, NC/VS might become the most technical to play compared to the TR.

Draw back = being part of The Empire of jackboot thugs Remember, we also have mobility in our vehicles and I've been told by many an NC and TR player it's hard to see us in general, at night, because of the colors of our armor and suits.

I really hope so. Don't like this new patch, the guns seem even worse for the VS now- or maybe its the TR and NC being buffed more than needed.

I think you should watch the movie "enemy at the gates" TR is russia. VS is obviously Germany(we have the technology) and i guess NC can be france. 4th empire is the rest of the allies.

The TTK is so LOW, if you can aim at the same place twice... NC.

everyone else, we can party at VS warpgate.

This patch for the VS has been pretty good so far. Guns definitely feel more useful at range.

Nice work. ♥
