Sooooo this has dawned on me ALOT currently in game there is an Anti Material prototype sniper for aurum according to the description it says it can one shot LAVs with a PRECISE shot...im guessing a specific part of the LAV u gotta hit
problem i have is this...................there is no ISK variant............this is PAY TO WIN. This proto sniper is not a sidegrade but a completely unique weapon with Light Anti vehicle capabilities if we go by the description, why isnt there an ISK variant????
I am no sniper nor have i seen these AM rifles in work and i am not gonna actually train sniper skills to proto lvl just to test this as i do not like the still long range sniping DUST requires
anyway would like to hear from peeps what they think of this and CCP as well dont get me wrong its good that this game has an AM rifle but needs an ISK variant tbqh

With the only possible exception that It can OHK vehicles right? Seems the same to me. |

Actually, it appears that their is an ISK variant, the Ishukone (40, 720 ISK) has the same stats as the 'Horizon' Kaalakiota Rifle (this one being the Anit Material Sniper Rifle) with both having 222HP damage, 50RPM, 25 Max Ammo, and a 4s Reload time. I think this may just be CCP trying to differentiate the descriptions of both weapons, one as an AUR variant, and one as a ISK variant

it CAN'T one hit kill vehicles. any vehicle.. ever. for infinity. no matter where you shoot it.
those descriptions are called "flavor text" they just make the game look good. you can hit triangle and actually see the stats on stuff.
the horizon kaalakiota actually has the EXACT same stats as the ishukone sniper rifle, that you buy with isk. the only advantage to the aurum version, is you need less skill training to use it. so when you think about it it actually ends up worse since the skill increases damage.
there ARE broken aurum guns (minddrive: to much damage. killswitch: not enough damage) but this isn't one of them. |

Killswitch is more than good enough |

it absolutely, 100% is not. look at it. look at it closely.
it does the same damage as the blindfire or standard isk GEK rifle, only it uses double the PG/CPU. |

I'll look at it tomorrow and i usually got better performance with the killswitch |

As a 4 year EVE player, don't read too far into the descriptions for anything. Several of the Temperate planets still list surface temperatures of 233 Kelvin. |

I believe that CCP is in fact working on tweaking the aurum rifle such that it does do heavy AV damage. In which case, the op's point is valid unless a similar tweak is done to the Ishukone. |

According to CCP both the AM rifle and the Ishukone rifle have the ability to OHK lavs, whether they are working as intended is another issue. |

Several of the Temperate planets still list surface temperatures of 233 Kelvin. +1, don't use the flavor text to infer an actual game mechanic, to do so will lead to frustration, disappointment and misspent ISK/skill points. |

Yea lets have a ISK varient
This SR will be able to OHK any HAV no matter how much its tanked up or where it is hit
The skills required will be less than it takes to skill up the usual AV fits such as the swarms or forge guns and it will have the powergrid of a basic sniper rifle
It cannot be used at all on infantry and only has 1 round in its chamber, 10 overall carried
