How is it for you?
With the new Speed Racer strafe speeds, how are you doing trying to track targets and effectively kill them? I tried my hardest yesterday and nearly threw my controller through my television in frustration (thank heaven I have Lvl V in SCR's and Lvl III in SCR Proficiency).
Just wondering how the other shotgunners out there are feeling in terms of 1.2. |

See.
I didn't choose my build based on the playstyle I prefer.
I chose my build based on how CCP "balances" their game.

Had to reset my sensitivity because I was tracking too slowly.
I will have to relearn to aim with the Shotgun. I was just getting the hang of it, and now I suck again.
I did discover an effective method for aiming though.
Active aiming: Start with your SMG. People usually run into an SMG for some reason. When they are close and you are firing into their chest, quick switch to Shotgun for Killshot!
If you are using an SMG they usually donGÇÖt expect you to have a shotgun, and weapon switching is insanely quick now. |

It's also amazing for holding down a choke point. |

It's bad. The enemies can strafe much faster than I can aim. I'm at 100% Sensitivity for *****s sake! The only way I've been killing people is by timing my shots for when they cross my reticule, if I miss I usually die. Also, I try not to fire unless they get really close, because as soon as they find out you don't have an AR they will keep a distance from you. It's very, very tricky to kill with this thing right now. I'm not seeing many people using this at the moment. I'm mostly seeing Duvolles and Core Flintlocks+LAV's. |

Yeah not to mention that backpedal speed is ridiculous now too...... |

There is a certain gap betwwen you and your target that cannot be close while walking that has gotten worse. Otherwise I've even doing well and I've seen others do well. Very few instances of input lag. When there was lag it was very noticeble.I think it's a definite improvement. I really wsh they had increased the range if even just three more meters or something, though. |

Now with the Commando suit and quicker weapon change you can effectively have a double barrel Plasma Cannon. |

shotgun seems significantly worse to me.
Lots of hit markers, no damage.

All the more reason to aim with the SMG and then R2, R1, +50 Kill. Let that burning sensation in their chest as they crumple to the ground be their first inclination that you have a Shotgun. |

Same for me. Another way of nerfing down the scout. We might as well just remove it from the game at this point. |

I got pretty frustrated for a bit as well. Things start clicking if you stick with it.
The strafing was really throwing me off. logis can strafe as fast as a scout, have 3 times the defenses, and now seem to be able to leap over and over and over. being in CQC is pretty epic when you are the one to walk out of it. The one thing they don't expect form me, is the knives. Once I get someone pinned against a corner, and I am out of shotty shells... I try to finish them off with the ishnoks. But I am finding most logis need at least 3 hits. Proto logis sometimes 4-5. Fatties go down in 2-3 pretty consistently. Pick your targets wisely :D
It started coming together last night. But it was frustrating as fuk for the time it took em too get used to things. I am on the verge of getting a proto shotty, so here's to that. I know how I'll be earning my x3 exp  |

Side note:
I've been wanting to get Shotties united in our own squads. If we could have an entire squad split and coordinate into 2 or 3 man teams, we could wreck Skirmishes. Let the AR derps measure each other's sex organs by the length of their Kill streaks while we do work and clock the good WPs.
Just putting it out there... |

Straffing speed has become rediculous. If someone notices me and they start straffing I just run off and circle back around to get the kill. I find myself getting a hit marking with no damage when trying to hit pro cal suits. Best thing to do is to run with another shotgunner to cause mass panic in cqc. |

Tried it again this morning and still can't hit anything with the shotgun.
Oh well, I guess I'll use the Breach and GN-20 Flaylock instead. |

Yeah it was infuriating. An enemy was standing completely still hacking the objective and I shot him point blank with the shotgun - nothing happened. |

I am finding it is a match to match thing. sometimes it works like a monster. other times i am shooting blanks. but the problem persists one way or the other the whole match.
I am going to start dropping from matches when i have the issue pop up and see how that goes. |
