Err, the hwacha isn't the heavy version of the Artemis? They hit components and the components get destroyed... I don't see how they're any different, except maybe one can shoot more rockets at a time.
Well let me put my perspective. Minus the fact one is light and one is medium :
Artemis : Low ammo, fast moving rockets aimed at precise points to disable them.
Hwacha : High ammo, slower rockets sprayed at the target for maximum disables.
If the Artemis had a medium equivalent, I wouldn't of made the hwacha to do it. I mean, it almost encompasses a banshee more. Maybe a strike between the two?
I guess my thing is that when you load heavy into an hwacha, it turns into a different gun. You go from spray and pray to calculated and precise shooting. I don't know why they give some guns much more range over their effective ones, but I never questioned it and honestly it does allow for things like this situation where a hwacha can still hit something at that range and not be utterly useless.
If you made it 100-75% at its max range, then ammo designed to increase the efficiency at those ranges is then useless. Id just take burst for the added ammo and higher likelihood of disables and call it a day.
We need to also track what we are debating here. Only the goldie, spire, and galleon can take the hwacha, and its use can vary greatly on each. I figure goldfish is the biggest debate since you are using it alone, yea?
