1.3 General Speculation

<< < (33/38) > >>

RearAdmiralZill:
I'm fairly certain it was because -30% took heavy carronade down to one shot. Not ideal at all.

N-Sunderland:
Oh right, I didn't even consider that.

I'm not a big fan of how the gat's base spread was increased. Any ammo type other than heavy already has a terrible hit rate.

RearAdmiralZill:
Maybe, but it draws you closer, and I kind of compare it to a hwacha lacking heavy clip. You have to get close, you still miss a few shots, but you get most in there and keep pressure on. They probably want to raise the skip cap of a gat, as we can't deny 1.2 heavy clip with gat is, well pretty simple.

It opens up a lot of ammo's now like greased, incendiary, ect. More spray and pray.

Something tells me that has to do with Heavy now being suboptimal at closer ranges, meaning a gunner can switch ammo type to something with more dps (besides normal) and outshine his engineer counterpart... wishful thinking :P

N-Sunderland:
Right, and that's definitely a good thing, but even when you're really close up a lot of shots still miss, unless you're shooting a Galleon at point blank. I know that other people have tested it out, and in 1.2 they were finding that heavy clip gat did more DPS than greased even when close up due to all the misses.
