@TrasteThI greatly disagree. The NTW-50 needs to be balanced in accordance with the possibility that entire squads are running it. If 4 people fire the NTW-50 at a tank, it will die at the same rate it would have died at before the nerf. A single person should not be able to do that much damage.
I will say though, that it should more damage if the projectile hits the engine.
Tank drivers are already in a precarious spot with all the possible ways to kill them. The only viable way of survival is to camp with vehicles and wait for infantry to push the line, so either way, you won't get that engine shot. From Drone C5's through to Sundance C5's, it's a nightmare.
@S3SSioN_SoLThe biggest problem with 4 ppl ntw-50 a tank, it's that only 1 person gets creds for the kill and destruction of the vehicle. So, makes no sense for ppl to hunt tanks down, when the reward of xp is extreamly limited. Also for the kill count on the Tiers for the weapon. 4 ppl needs 1200 kills for Tier 5, so together, they have to hunt 5000 kills, AND be alligned with who gets the kill shot, while avoiding to die from the instant retaliation from the vehicle, which 1-shot the player firing upon them.
Also, a bullet of that size, would rip the limbs of their body by a bare grace, even a close miss, would send them hurling down.
And the NTW-50 IS the perfect weapon do deal with those helis that camps outside of lock-range, and tanks so far out the map, no infantry can get near them to kill them.
The NTW-50 was the ONLY weapon to stop the tank and heli killing carnage from more then a safe distance. Where those vehicles, became GODS! Especially if good piloted, then they become TITANS!
I've started to just leave those games.
Snipers have it hard enough, with the 5 million lumen spotlight, attached to the scopes. I do get the sun glare, but when there coulden't be one, you scope and poof it's there. Even in the deepest, darkest corner of the world, there is a glare, sorry, I mean, spotlight, if you scope.
Snipers, more then just beeing assassins at long range, gives the cover and assistance to the infantry that pushes, to keep them safer.
And what you mention about, 100 yards, the tides of engagement turns? For what? They with carbines and smg shoots you down so fast at that range. Hell, ppl HS me at 300-500 yards like nothing, if I don't get that first hit.
What I feel from you, are any excuse to make the NTW-50 joke relic, that it's been turned into, stay where it has been placed. There WAS a good balance to deal with the NTW-50 snipers.
It's like saying, "oh but they have medics who can revive them if I kill the NTW-50 user, it must be nerfed so I can stay alive in tank and be a GOD!" Makes no sense for anyone to be revived from a HS, and no, i'm not saying you said that, but it sure sounds like it.
At the very end of the day. It's taken me the same amount of time to round up 600 kills with the NTW-50 as with the DRX-1, but I don't hear that weapon needs nerfing, cause it doesen't involve the raging need for superiority tanks or GOD MODE!
Enough said!
Spoken like a true Tank user. No wonder you so pro at nerfing the NTW-50. No matter how much you write here you still not making any scence.
Hmm well said. I agree.
I never got to experience the ntw 50 at its best but I'm sure underwhelmed by the fact that I have to put 8 rounds into a hovercraft to put it down.
For a fifty, that's not only an insult but a really terrible balancing job by dice.
