Corporations will want talented vehicle pilots/drivers to get their squads around into positions close to the enemies, but safe from sniper fire.
By closing the distance between 'front lines', so to speak, it also forces tankers (who're saying tanks have been forced to become redline camping glass cannons) to get closer or risk blowing up their own team with their railguns.
It'll definitely be interesting to see how events turn out come Monday, and the 14th.
Don't be fooled. ARs lost their range but the sharpshooter skill is a damage buff essentially because their weapon will have even less recoil than before. Now they can spray and pray and those damage mod stacked shots are really going to hit their mark. |

Assuming the percentages are the same as this build:
Assault Rifle lvl 5 = -25% Dispersion and Kick
Assault Rifle Sharpshooter lvl 5 = -25% Kick
Assault rifle Sharpshooter Proficiency lvl 5 = -15% Dispersion and Kick
So that's (-25%*25%)-15% recoil on a gun that was originally nerfed to have more recoil in the first place. Welcome to AR 514. |

Nope, just changed what it does for each weapon that has it.
AR = less recoil
HMG = less spread?
Sniper Rifel = less sway?
Laser = ???? |

I will die, but it won't be quietly. Amarr sentinal has 4 low slots. You might be a lumbering giant, but 4 armor plates and a dedicated logi will make you fearsome indeed  Time for squads of heavies and logis to be dropped in together right on an objective. Teamwork can still make the heavy work. It has to, because it's all we heavies have left. We need APCs (SOONtm, LAVs in the meantime) and dropships to help us crash parties now more than ever.
We should all work together and spread a negative stereotype that heavies are so weak now that any Assault that dies to their spitball bullets should quit Dust 514. |
