@Daniel--Swenson The NTW-50 works fine, for its intended targets. Its an Anti-Material rifle, and works fine against vehicles, rangers and turrets.
None of the weapon / projectile behaviors try to mimic reality, if they were, weapons using the same ammo type would most likely do the same kind of damage.

They need to remove the weapon as it’s supposed to be an anti armour rifle but all it does is tickle them at best.

Its like using potato gun against Kevlar, what they should do is replace it for a China lake grenade launcher or something similar

@emerson1975 As every weapon, it has its specific usage, and this one is a team support weapon. Two NTW-50 with the ammo upgrade can trash a MBT from the front with 8 shots, in a very short time.

Generally with only 28 weapons available, there is no need to remove any weapon. But I think that everyone would like to see additions to the portfolio.

  OK @kregora ,
  As everything is relative, not exactly sure on what you consider 'a very short time'?
  Because it takes you FOREVER to just fire, reload and fire again that NTW-50 rifle.
  So before you even get to your 2nd or 3rd shot with that rifle, then the BOLTs and the MBT tanks have run you over and road killed you 2 or 3 times already! 😄

    @CyberDyme In the MBT example I didn't want to indicate, that I stand in front of the tank, but that we were shooting at the front side of the tank, which absorbs a lot more damage, than the back side.
    And with a bolte, its different, the one hit kill needs to be from the front, and through the windshield. But then it is a one shot kill, driver, gunner AND bolte 😉

  Very interesting.
  I would now like to see a video of anyone taking out an MBT with a post nerf NTW-50 from 100% to 0%.
