Hello.
Thank you for commenting in the thread 🙂.
I just want to make it clear that I don't mind the damage it does at all. If I were to choose between damage buff vs muzzle velocity and range buff, then I would pick muzzle velocity and range buff.
Just look at the difference between these two videos that I recorded.
FIrst one is the DXR-1.
Then the NTW-50.
I marked and aim at the same exact point as the DXR-1.
The NTW-50 should be a laser. Where you aim, it should hit extremely fast, but with the same damage that it currently has.
I still think they should revert the damage to how it was at launch, but make it so you have to be prone or have the bipod deployed on cover to fire. Either that or make it wildly inaccurate if not.
In BF5 the anti tank guns were fairly useless to use against tanks, but were still great against infantry but because you had to be prone to use them they were not in common use. I agree that the bullet velocity is stupidly low, but I guess if it wasn't then there would be little reason to use any other sniper rifle instead right?
I managed to unlock it and get 4 or 5 days play with it before they nerfed it and it was fun, and not overpowered in my opinion. With the slow bullet velocity I certainly didn't find it easy to be knocking moving air vehicles down despite seeing a few streamers doing so. It was a great counter for those camping tanks and AA vehicles, now its a minor annoyance.
This gun had a clear role but by nerfing it they have largely ruined it. I got my 1200 kills with it and have hardly used it since.
