2.42 Balance Scripts - Coming soon to a server near you!

It's like a sky dive without the parachute :p

...man that would be good for aircraft, though.

 

I doubt it has much to do with making it hit harder, it seems its there so there is less /round/ drop.

 

How about it's a video game man. you know calculators can't make fully functioning machinegun turrets out of thin air and boxes that have an infinite amount of munitions inside in real life.

 

Well its already there for most official maps.

I double checked and the multiplier for streetsoffire is already at 0.5 so obviously I'm not the first person with that fix.

You can see for yourself in Empires/config/maps

Wouldn't be hard for trickster to lower it a bit more and release it with the scripts though

 

Why not cut the UGL clip down to 6 instead of 8 and nerf damage, Then no more bullshit apc fail matches

 

Oh no, overnerfing a weapon that has made empires shit for the last year or so?
I can't bear the though of playing a match without it in it!



No, really, it can go fuck itself as far as im concerned.

 

People want to end matches as soon as possible instead of enjoying late game content.

People rather perform short term risky behavior than the long term guaranteed win.
But the problem with the long term is the team may not be able to perform adequately to take advantage of the long term quirks.

 

I am in agreement. APCs shouldn't stroll into a base and wreck shit up by themselves. If its a gren/engy in second seat I am fine with that. Ohh wait... only BE can do that... poor bastardized NF apc. Someone fucking fix that!

 

When people speaking of the 2nd seat of BE APC, I would remind them that NF jeep has 4 seats.

Most players can't handle a continuous wave of APCs(including those who doing it) because they have terrible map awareness/driving skills, especially when playing duststorm or any other open maps.

 

Yea, cause 4 seat jeeps matter when
1) you will never pick this many people up
2) they are cheap enough that everyone will just get a personal one instead
3) it doesnt fucking matter anyway.

Be apcs on the other hand can

1)safely nadespam from the hatch, with respawning ammo
2)make it possible for grens to shoot over walls with vision
3)stun the fuck outta the cv using stuns you can hardly get away from


yea fuck that argument

 

It's incredibly easy to shoot out infantry in the hatch, so it's not really that. They're essentially sitting still, vehicle mgs and infantry mgs can shoot them out.

 

Featuring NF jeep, you have 3 safely spots to nade spam/mortar spam/shit spam inside, it doesn't respawn ammo but hey, grab a goddamn Engineer with you.

I have to admit that a full NF jeep scares me more than a BE APC, you just can't match the mobility and the size(dodging cannons that is).

 

Except that only applies when they are not moving, or at an odd angle.
Also, it makes them regenerate health. You can also just duck for cover after you get hit, pop out right back when hp is full again.

 

This is a conversation we wouldn't even be having a couple of years ago. It's just dumb. I don't usually come out and say that but really, z1ooom is right.

If you want to make a vehicle comparison make the right one. NF has 2 advantageous vehicles compared to BE's 3, where one is extremely niche on NF's side. What is this "I'm comparing an APC to a Jeep" anyway?
