I don't know which weapon you're referencing, but AV sniper rifles have popped in and out of builds in the past, and I think they just had a damage multiplier vs vehicles, not having something like 1000 base damage that also applied to infantry.

Actually that aur sniper was just exaggerated to have av abilities, even the charged was/is more Av ready

I think there used to be one that actually had AV capabilities though, several builds ago. Then it disappeared, then it came back and didn't have its AV damage or something. At least that's what I was told, I didn't use it when it was there early on.

Was it actually Av during replication? because that's when I tried it

It might have been. I forget which build people talk about, but I know a couple people kept asking to get their AV sniper back for a while. Not sure if it actually worked like that though or if it was one of the builds with overly damaging weak points on vehicles or something.

It could be like the forge though, if you're talking about the plasma cannon thing.

By the fact it's a dumbfire AV weapon, I'm expecting it'll be similar in operation to an RPG or any modern infantry unguided rocket systems. The same as the forge gun if you're infantry and get killed by one; it's either from being a dumb kitten and standing still for too long, bad luck, or a very skilled operator. The last two can't be helped and generally don't happen alot, but the first one ya can sort out yourself.

CCP said in IRC that it would have an arcing firing pattern. Which means it's hardly a sniper rifle.

Deffo looking forward to that kind off weapon. I just hope the blast radius wont be to high otherwise people will abuse it like if there wouldnt be a tomorrow.
