NTW-50

I've been using this gun and love it. Just yesterday I got kill shots on 4 tanks, 2 Botle's and a Condor. Just about taking the shot at the right time. In places like Manifest with lots of hiding spots to pop in and out of I can make vehicles abandon capture attempts or kill them if they won't. It has quite a bit more bullet drop than the DXR at ranges at/above 400m but I've gotten used to it and can hit people at that range and vehicles from even further.

The body shot for a kill actually gives you a chance against a solo enemy with an automatic in CQB, though if there are multiple attackers the reload time will certainly get you killed.

I agree but a round capable of penetrating a tank should not take multiple rounds to drop infantry wearing armor.

but I could be wrong.

It's annoying but I've gotten use to switching between infantry and anti vehicle rounds. Just takes a minute, lol. I don't use the NTW-50 as much anymore because I've already got it to T1 and after 1200 kills it no longer counts your kills.

Thanks for replying

When DICE said the NTW-50 is able to destroy dreams at up to 1,500m. only in your dreams will this weapon and it's massive bullet drop / dumb down damage destroy anything.

hope your enjoying this gun while u can, after the ''update'' and nerf ot this gun, it will be as usefull as a nerf gun.........

It is completely useless as a sniper rifle. I've attached some charts showing the trajectory of common .50 caliber rounds and some charts showing the same kind of info for a caliber that behaves more like the rifle in game. And a size comparison of each round for a better look at the difference between the rounds. Other than damage output the gun behaves pretty similarly to a .223 round.  I understand that they have to be careful with the balance of the weapons, but this is just ridiculous. You cant make a .50 caliber round behave like that, especially if it says in the description of the gun that it is effective up to 1500 meters. I doubt the bullet would even make it that far with how it behaves already. If anything they should significantly reduce the bullet drop, increase bullet travel time slightly as to not make it too easy to hit targets and keep it a little more difficult to use effectively, and change the 1 shot kill zone to just the chest and head. It is honestly the best way to make the gun more useful and realistic while still keeping it somewhat balanced. Or just move it to the utility section with the shotguns and lever action, because no matter how you look at it in its current form that gun can not be considered a sniper.

Fantastic charts thanks for sharing
