Messed up anti material rifle

It needed to be nerfed.  The reason I say this is the simple fact that it can take out a full health tank quicker than the M5 rocket launcher.  So i guess they went that route instead of making the M5 deal more damage or decreasing its reload time.

I was totally ok with nerfing the damage against tanks.  But they could have added some range to the damned thing in exchange. It's beyond useless now.

They didn't need to nerd the NTW-50. They needed to buff the M5. Plain and simple.

Something tells me that you are one of the people that sits in a tank camping across the map and got wrecked because you don't move. Just get good and ptfo. I never had a problem in a tank against the NTW-50. I was able to see where they were shooting me from and destroy them before the could even reload a second round because of the extremely long reload time. 

Except the rocket launcher is a gadget everyone can carry, the NTW50 is a primary weapon designed to kill tanks. it SHOULD do more than the rocket.

Wrong, Anti-Material rifles are NOT designed to take out tanks. They're designed to take out light armoured vehicles and people on long distances behind cover or such.

Literal Anti-Tank rifles became useless in their role in WW2, because the armor of tanks got thicker. 

The point is have us lvl a weapon then nerves it so bad the vehicles have the advantage all over again... seems fair cut the spawn rate more on the vehicles and it would be fair so the vehicle transgenders don't over well us lol

Spend all my time lvling it and ya trash it?
Anti material gun was what it was intended for the vehicles were a little more balanced now they are  over powered. Ya need to understand fun is not 10,000 vehicles controlling the entire game infantry need to have some space the responsibility timers on vehicles may be to fast especially on the scorpion attack chopper.

Have us spend all this time lvling a weapon to have ya trash it then mYbe ya should lower the kills for the hi end colors

They could have just reduced the damage against tanks since those have heavy armor but instead they nerfed it for all vehicles.  Even against infantry it's not a one shot body kill beyond 80 meters. This weapon was designed to take out targets 1500 meters and the real weapon it was designed from the NTW-20, took out an armored vehicle at 2100 meters.  This is a huge heavy gun and not something to use while on the go.  Better off using the SVK or DXR-1 than the worthless NTW-50. 

I'm glad that I got this weapon to T1 before it became trash.  Time to T1 the SVK before that gets nerfed next.
