Field Gun v1.3.1 Discussion

<< < (3/4) > >>

Thaago:
I think the changes are extremely good, though I was not using Lesmock so can't comment on that.

Engineering on a Junker with 1 side double mercury: it was an effective support platform at range when we were parked. Not crippling, but with communication with our captain we could lay down a pretty steady fire. If we moved at all, our hit rate at long range went down to maybe 1/8. The guns were completely useless at close range - once the enemy team found out they pressured us and we had to switch completely to the brawling side.

This is IMO exactly as it should be.

My only complaint is that the lack of downward arc ruined a completely ridiculous Mobula build that RomanKar had developed. It was so horrendously effective that it probably would have been meta in like a week ;).

N-Sunderland:
Yeah, as I said 5 degrees might be overkill. Boosting it up to 10 would still leave it at the level of the carronade, so you'd still be able to shoot stuff slightly below you. As it is now, they need to be level with or above the merc.

Zenark:
Oh yes, Roman introduced me to his Mobula and I fell in love with it. The new merc makes the setup tougher in closer ranges, but that's the whole point, so..... I think the merc is just right :D

Squidslinger Gilder:
Not really happy with it. The nerf on it's range kinda makes countering extreme range jackers impossible. The rest of the nerf is fine but it didn't need a range cut. Think if this was combined with a lumberjack nerf, it would be great. Make it so their shells only go a similar distance. Will completely remove extreme range engagements from the game.

Letus:
Actually, I am beginning to like using the Merc more now with the fix...well using...
It's really fun to watch an incendiary shot land right where you wanted it to on a ship that was out of your arc....the projectile is still practically unlimited, the difference is how you aim.

And I just love watching shots arc down into ships...something just feels so right when you watch projectile hit target, but I guess I'm just an old Tribes 2 fan....
