1.3 Release General Discussion

<< < (3/6) > >>

RearAdmiralZill:
It wasn't worth it really. The armor would never go down if kept in check. Add a carronade or gat in that trifecta. Then fun times begin.

Letus:
All I know is that I have to make another vid to show the lochnagar change...

and I can't do that....hopefully the vid got saved from that recent deal...

N-Sunderland:
For anybody needing proof that greased rounds on the gat is actually a terrible idea:

Greased + Buff

Per shot: 16.32
Per second: 163.2
Per clip: 1175.04

Heavy + Buff

Per shot: 17
Per second: 127.5
Per clip: 918

Difference (Greased - Heavy)

Per shot: -0.68
Per second: 35.7
Per clip: 257.04



Now, how do those prove that heavy is better? Miss two shots per second with greased, and the advantage per second shrinks to 8.5 and the advantage per clip to a rather unimpressive 61.2. If you miss three shots per second, then you're doing less damage than heavy.

Find a situation where you can get up to point blank against a ship where the profile is large enough to land enough hits, while also ensuring that none of your rounds go into their guns/engines. Then you'll have a valid use for greased gat.

Okay... so as long as you're not fighting junkers, I still don't see how this proves greased is bad. Of course from a distance you'd want heavy, but up close greased is better. That's how it's always been, even before 1.3.

Captain Smollett:
Greased is 28% more powerful than heavy.  You need to hit 72% of the shots heavy clip hits. 

At close range your heavy chaingunner best not miss and time reloads appropriately.
