XXfootnoteXX DUST University Ivy League 155	Posted - 2013.03.24 08:12:00 - [1] - Quote Developed by minmatar technicians in an attempt to create way to push back drop ships and repurposed to be a hand held weapon for front line soldiers to engage land and air vehicles. The Mini Flak cannon (commonly known as the GÇ£MF CannonGÇ¥ or a GÇ£Flaking CannonGÇ¥) operates by shooting an explosive shell that detonates after it gets near the target, this is to counter the fact the weapon is large and unwieldy for hand held use. 30mm Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics: (Standard Flak Cannon) - 120 RPM(2 RPS) - Automatic - 250 Damage per Round. (500 DPS) - 3.3m Splash 40mm Assault Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics: (High speed flak cannon, lighter than the standard variation. Wider firing zone.) - 258 RPM(4.3 RPS) - Automatic - 111 Damage per shot.(559 DPS) - 4.0m Splash 50mm Burst Flak Cannon Weapon Specifics: (Fast burst, slow rate of bursts, higher damage. Smaller firing zone.) - 180 RPM (1 Burst per second) - 3 Round Burst - 330 damage per shot.(990 DPS) - 2.6m Splash __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Please feel free to help with the math!! It is not my strong suit, I also cant remember the name of the Minmatar weapons developer. I am extreamly open to any suggestions anyone has.
Hexen Trickster The Southern Legion 19	Posted - 2013.03.24 15:27:00 - [2] - Quote MF Cannon Best name ever I like the idea for another direct fire AV weapon I assume this will be a heavy weapon, all the kickback from a large projectile and whatnot
slypie11 Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 11	Posted - 2013.03.24 15:53:00 - [3] - Quote You would thing shooting a high explosive shell filled with shrapnel at high speeds would be incredibly damaging to a ground unit. Also, consider making some kind of flak/machine gun installation
Godin Thekiller KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 17	Posted - 2013.03.24 16:34:00 - [4] - Quote This sounds like a modified artillery turret. The low numbers show that it's not very effective at taking out heavy armored vehicles as well too. Plus, you have to be accurate with it, so.... I call this AV the first that's balanced.
Terry Webber Gothic Wars Consortium 57	Posted - 2013.03.24 19:02:00 - [5] - Quote I've been wanting a weapon like this. Makes taking down a dropship a little easier for heavies.

Zat Earthshatter Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 306	Posted - 2013.03.24 22:16:00 - [8] - Quote A good suggestion - reminds me of the Grenade Machine-Gun in Fallout: New Vegas, and in fact that weapon uses very similar ammunition calibers (25mm and 40mm). If CCP decides to use OP's idea, they could easily use the PC version of the game (and the included GECK dev-kit) for prototyping before producing a DUST version for AV combat. I only have one gripe: the RoF should more accurately reflect the caliber - 30mm would be fastest, 50mm the slowest. For balancing, the DPS edge of the 50mm version should be less of a jump, while still having a visible edge. Lastly, the caliber should affect PG/CPU. 30mm would be your "base" model, while the 50mm would need extremely good skil

It can be but since it only explodes near installations and vehicles I expect the damage against infantry when It doesn't explode to be hmg es for a tiny amount of the rof
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Daringly Inserting Large Dangerous Objects 40	Posted - 2013.03.25 05:07:00 - [15] - Quote well i do like the idea. first what would be the range of it? second flak works as anti-air so how would it work on HAV/LAVs third burst should be smaller rounds (30mm) while the normal rounds higher (50mm) and that would work to balance the dps and also should have a breach type maybe 60mm with a RoF of 60 fourth heat base with large belt feed mags or small clip sizes?
Valto Hynton 2100453693 Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 7	Posted - 2013.03.25 05:08:00 - [16] - Quote great idea but as it stands adding it now will make vehicles harder to use(they already die a lot of times).After vehicles life span increase a bit more i won't mind seeing this.

It's absolutely ok that you gave your own field of numbers instead of making CCP do all the work, especially since you even stated in the Op you weren't sure about the numbers, but following the hmg's example, the burst would have the highest rof for substandard damage (I'll check to be sure the next time I'm on)

The rounds will detonate when they get within range of a vehicle, but wont detonate on impact, they are designed to do more damage by exploding near the target rather than hitting it. How this will work with aiming at soldiers is the round can still hit the soldier but wont detonate. That being said 30mm or 40mm round hitting you in the chest is still going to do damage. That and the weapon is not acurate so you cant snipe soldiers at a distance. Think HMG kind of spread.

ChromeBreaker SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 316	Posted - 2013.03.25 09:24:00 - [25] - Quote OK argument to this.... Drop ships aren't easy enough to kill already? The assault FG has about a 2 second rof with higher dmg and a potential of anti personnel. why would you use your MF over an AFG?
