RearAdmiralZill:
I'm not going to go all into detail here and just toss in some "meat" for you guys to think about.


What if heavy clip reduced firing rate (or if it does, to a greater %)? I can't see that "hurting" many guns besides gat/flak. It'll hit carronades but well placed shots are killing that balloon anyway, and most other guns use it for arming reduction or long shots, which slower fire rate wouldn't really hinder.

It's also know by awkm that the firing arc of a gatling gun is a bit, large. He won't touch it due to lack of piercing options. I think once another option rolls its way into the game, this all will be a moot point.

I also just came up with this on the fly and haven't thought it through 100%, so yea.

Echoez:
  Heavy clip doesn't reduce firing rate, it reduces projectile speed, which is probably why it's a no brainer for the Gatling since projectile speed doesn't matter at all on one. Not sure about the firing rate downside though as it would hurt both the Carronades and the Hwacha a lot, especially the Hwacha since you want all the missles to be close to each other for the long range shot.

  Would be nice to see how it would handle if it decreased clip size by around 25%. Wouldn't harm the Hwacha and Carronades much, since the Hwacha would still have 15 missiles loaded and the Carronades would just lose out on one more shot, the Gatling on the other side would lose out on 15 bullets, equalling to at least 255 armor damage, which is a whole other mallet stroke.

RearAdmiralZill:
I'll never back a change that would reduce a heavy carronade shot down to one (except loch of course). Heavy is its only way to make effective use of its max range, which is obviously short enough at it is.

Also, heavy in a hwacha barely breaks anything now with a full barrage hit (hit is even more rare). Reducing the clip would be more detrimental than a slight firing rate reduction.

Well I don't know, I also meant down one shot, I meant the light ones, the Heavy one wouldn't lose a shot since it's only 25% less and not 40% or something, it only has 2 shots after all. As for the Hwacha Barrage I don't mind it being less effective at range right now tbh, but that's for an other thread.

Rainer Zu Fall:
I think reducing the gat's range would pretty much help on like...say...300m. That would lead to a much higher use of other guns and combos again!

Changing ammo wouldn't probably lead to anything since other guns would be getting worse too. Just look at the Hwacha (as already noticed).

What about reducing the gat's arc and giving us a new piercing gun?
