    Er, not really.

    It just means you get hit more often for less damage, it makes the guns less random, and more predictable, and therefore more skill based, there are fewer lucky shots.

    It also makes headshots less dangerous, so it's a bit of skill tradeoff.

    Not that much, because all the headshotty weapons are still about as powerful, and will still benefit from headshots significantly. The ones which aren't really suitable for headshotting have had the randomness reduced.

    Love the new weapons, riflemen more leathal now, it is much easier to get kills, sence more bullets hit the target, but if you spray you will miss.

    No, how the fuck did you reach that conclusion?

    No where did it said anything abut guided being nerferd, only that it was more expensive. 20 more dmg != wtfpwnmobiles. plasma mg AND cannon got buffed, and not small either.

    Please don't write about things and pass it as truth to others when you haven't understood the changes.

    I think we are moving in cycles, wasn't there a version before where small arty cannon was the best thing to get :P

    I mean + 20 dmg in addition to having 2 of them means a + 40 dmg boost, like nearly +50% + good heating.

    Use it on comms to overheat and kill him in seconds, this is going to be so much fun :o)

    The changes made to weapons and vehicle steering have clearly improved gameplay. Good work!

    arty really needs a RoF nerf or something.....more heat to self ?

    its just silly right now....maybe the best thing is to jack up the cost of them as it is harder to protect yourself if a tank charges you.

    something like :

    current cost = 900 ?
    new cost = 1200

    It costs 900 to get a plain paper arty
    it costs 1200 with a good armor and engine

    Wow who burned your ass this morning? And my conclusion is sound, artys have got loads more damage now, plasma mg has gotten a buff (which you actually repeated for some reason), and guided mls are back to where they were, which is a less desirable option to UMLs.

    Maybe you need to take off your RAEG hat for a bit and relax...

    minor detail

    REWORK : barracks minimap icon, right now it looks like a circle on a rectangle.....try softening the 'shoulders' so it looks more like a person and less like a kindergarten experiment. thx.
