with missiel nerf (screwing over caldari missile race) and td buff (screwing over amar tracking and gall range for blasters) it looks like Winmatar are again getting a STEALTH BUFF!

The more things change the more they sta ythe same, guys. Winmatar is still CCP's pet project and wil still be the best no mater what hapens. just crostrain to fly huricane or XLASB cyclone and you have the pinacle of pvp~~!

unles CCP somehow NERF autos to not do almot blaster damage to almost laser range, nothing will ever be balanced.

Discuss.

5/10, too much effort.

Also, Petrus, you need an alt for this sort of ****.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

I thought the hurricane was getting a whack with the nerf-bat?

thats another issue entirely but autocannons are still best weapons on Punisher or Ferox and ive even seen autocannon Incursus that works well. Where is the balance in that?

feeding the troll a bit, but i believe is more likely the other turrets actually get a buff rather than autocannons getting nerfed, i say this because from a gamepoint of view i always had the feeling projectile weapons work a bit as expected, but instead the hybrids and lasers are the ones that feel they lack power given their limitations.

autocannons are bullets that damage projects to farther away than LASERS. making sense yeah?

adding a damage bonus or two to blaster/laser ships wont fix the issue. nerf autos!

May I point out that the fact you can see the laser means that the energy is dissipating in other directions than the direction of the target?

Heavy loss of energy at that, so that means fail range.


For Hybrid, if you actually read how its supposed to work...
Projected contention fields inside the bullet cant hold the magnetic field for very long. And again, you can see the light. Means loss of energy.
