I've noticed that on the Swarm Launchers, the L1 button is completely useless. You can't aim with a Swarm Launcher, and I think it's the same for a Forge Gun. Also, the HMG essentially makes this button useless as it is a gatling gun, and aiming with it almost does NOTHING, whereas crouching does WONDERS.

So, with this in mind, I think we should tweak, and/or make a use out of this button.

Swarm Launchers: When you press the L1 Button, it scans for vehicles on the map. Of course, if they're out of range of your Swarm Launchers, then the target box is either Red, or Blue(either is fine). Basically letting you know where the vehicle IS, but unable to shoot it. This way, it's not overpowered as it just targets the vehicles, and if people use it to keep tabs on vehicles, then you can make it to where it's a stationary option. Such as placing the Launcher vertically on the ground like a pylon, and using it as a scanning tower.

Heavy Machine Guns: Aiming with an HMG is essentially useless unless your crouched. Nonetheless, even then...it's still pretty fricken useless. As another person had said in a thread, HMG's are supposedly OP, and should have a spool up time instead of instant-fire mechanics. I actually agree with this...when I look at the animations, that gun doesn't look right when it's spewing out an upwards of 50 bullets, when the rotation speed is only as much as 1-2 revolutions per half second. It just...looks weird. And besides, with how the HMG works, whereas accuracy increases as the heat build-up increases, then this rotation button could be used as such. Or...not be used at all, and just keep the rotation going in order to prevent firing delays. As it is, accuracy increases with heat build-up, not barrel rotation(I beleive).

Forge Guns: Same as the Swarm Launchers. Feedback is appreciated. In all honesty, I really couldn't think of anything for Forge Guns.

Unlike earlier models, the weapon requires no spool up time; rounds are expelled the instant the trigger is pressed. This comes at the cost of initially reduced accuracy as the counter-rotating drives slowly align. Once fully aligned, however, the HMG produces a pinpoint stream of gunfire with unmatched killing potential.

Swarms: Don't even touch swarms. They arn't as OP as you think and aiming them and placing them is just a stupid idea. If anything they need to buff the damager per missle slightly.

HMG: I'm not sure you actually have sued an HMG. If you have then you would have not even mentioned it in this thread. HMGs (like other weapons) are not OP. They are a CQC weapon and do most damage when within 30 meters. It cannot be used at long range. The reason it does not have a spool up time is because it is EXTREMELY inaccurate for the first 1-4 seconds of firing. After 4 seconds we are at our most accurate, however we have ALOT of heat built up. The animation shouldnt even be mentioned in this thread as if you would read the description of the HMG it says:



How CCP wants to animate their weapons is on them. Also accuracy DOES increase with barrel rotation AND heat build up.

Forge Gun: Don't you know how powerful an accurate forge gunner actually is? They can 1hit gib most. It is a gun that should not be tweaked as it takes skill to be use it against infantry.

In my opinion you have not really used any of these weapons and are making alot of assumptions.

Let me point this out to you, not ONCE did I ever say ANY of these guns were OP or UP. Shove it, dude. Whether they should be touched, or not, well...that's your opinion. I consider them all to be perfectly fine except for the Swarm Launchers. As for you in general, you didn't read my post AT ALL. Either re-read it, and get your facts straight, or get the heck offa this thread.

Um you clearly said the HMG was OP. I actually did read your post which is why I posted here. So stop QQing because I poked holes in what you thought was a flawless idea.

No, that was from another thread you goof.
