Ok so after using the standard 2sec rail for a while, because I didn't like the slow refire and quick overheat of the compressed. I was speaking to another player who told me I was foolish and didn't understand how to use the 2K railgun.
I humoured him and as it turns out I'm pretty sure he revealed an exploit as the "correct" way to use it.
The standard rail fires every 2 secs until it overheats. Holding the trigger down you get about 6-7 shots, (from memory so forgive errors). If at anytime you let the trigger go it takes roughly the 2 seconds or so cooldown before you can refire.
The compressed rail fires every 2.5 seconds until it overheats. Before it overheats you can fire something like 3-4 shots. If at anytime you let go of the trigger it coolsdown in about 1-1.5 secs. It may even be 0.8secs to fire and 1.6 to refire using this method, I'd have to test it more.
So as it stands if you pulse fire the compressed it does more damage, does it faster and never has to cooldown due to overheating.
As I understood it the compressed should be a slower firing, heavier hitting version. Not a far superior I win version.
Anyone else notice this?, it'd be nice if this was confirmed as a bug or at least the description of the rail changed to be more in line with what it's actually doing. |

Seems more along the lines of a logical problem than ingame bug. It's not behaving in any bad or unexpected way, but the way it behaves is undesirable. |

This is same for all 3 of the compressed railguns except for like the first compressed railgun it seems to have been misassigned and happens to only be a blaster.
Really though the biggest thing about this is that charging and discharging might actually even fire faster. I am mostly fine with this mechanic but if they were going to do it I could see the entire gun being reworked around this ability. |

Was testing this a bit more last night. It's much faster than the standard rail.
I managed to lose all my tanks and bankrupted myself yesterday. I had to go back to my lower tier tanks and grind and the difference is silly.
If it's intended then that's fine, but it certainly needs it's description looking into. It makes it sound totally different to what it is actually doing. |
