Ntw-50 has no purpose anymore

One of the Biggest BAD nerf moves Dice made was to nerf the daylights out of the NTW-50.

Yes it might have been overpowered a bit when it was released, but why did they have to nerf it in half!!!

Even a 10-20% damage reduction would have still made it a viable option against vehicles.

It was at least an option, now yes, it 1 shots people to 100 yards, but takes 12 shots or more for a tank, which is virtually impossible to do with the reload time being horrendous.

It was an Anti-Vehicle option that was completely Nerfed into nothingness. Why not just adjust it to do more damage for thin skinned vehicles and air vehicles? 

Was that not its intended purpose of Anti-Material???

It needs to come back with a buff to vehicle damage specifically. you can leave the 1 shot kill level at 100 yards, but the high power rounds need to be added to this as well.

It seems crazy that the high power anti-material rounds cant kill anyone past 50 yards with one shot, but do hardly any extra damage to vehicles at any range....

This needs to be fixed, or just remove the gun.. it has no official purpose now.

  • @MAST3RGRUBI think its damage against regular tanks, wildcats, RAMs, Brawlers, MAVs and air transports is fine. Ground vehicles and air transports are easy to hit and it bypasses APS; regular tanks and MAVs don't need the extra threat from it. That being said, TORs do need a longer range infantry counter.

    It can 1shot people with the regular ammo type. The HP was nerfed to never 1shot a full HP person. IMO easy 1shot bodyshots are not fun and this nerf was deserved, but it also does need a buff against non-transport air.

    Being able to 2shot helicopters was not a bit overpowered, it was very overpowered, and 3shotting them is also on the high side. IMO 4shotting (specifically, ~30 damage) with a mild velocity reduction would be fine.

    It has an official purpose as a humiliation weapon.

    It is also good for cheap quickscoping. Enders showed why in a recent video

    But even if they moved it to the special weapons section like the gov45 and shotguns it could get its own rules for use.

    They could easily make it prone fire only like the tank hunter in BF1. Simple but it would stop quickscoping and have the mobility nerf it would need to make sure with the damage increase it would not get overused.

    @MAST3RGRUBThat’s actually a great idea, make it prone only although hip fire should be allowed. That would be a major flex lol, running around hip firing with the 50!
