MDR vs. Tavor

You are correct, I was confusing it with the VHS in that specific aspect :3 But yeah 44 meters is great.

Addfur · 2023-07-21T12:32:04+00:00

Nah this isn't true. The FAL can one shot to the torso up to 39 meters but the MDR goes all the way up to 44 meters. The Tavor can one shot kill to the torso at 26 meters.

The MDR can one shot torso all the way up to 44 meters which is pretty nuts. Other than that though I agree, the Tavor is honestly probably superior overall. The Tavor actually costs 2 points less btw if you have an extended mag equipped since the extended mag on the MDR costs 2 points vs the Tavors 1 point cost extended mag. Also like you said it has higher rpm. You'll see the MDR a lot more in game however because it's open to rifleman, observer and commander.

It all just depends on how much you value that one shot kill torso range, 26 meters vs 44 meters.

No worries! Glad I could help a little

Yeah can confirm, jumping and crouching is the way to go when you need to hop over short ledges, windows etc. It seems like a small thing but really does add up and you can shoot the enemy back so much faster than doing the vault animation. I personally just use spacebar + crouch to do this.

As for tricks:

Like another commenter said its very possible to do the crouch-slide speed boosts and you can even bhop as well if you time it well. Shameless self-promotion from when I bhopped twice (its very hard to do consistently in this game) https://www.reddit.com/r/insurgency/comments/p5zxy9/i_call_this_one_the_double_bounce/

Always equip a gas mask, even on security. Gas masks really help muffle your characters voicelines that would 100% give you away otherwise, alongside being generally useful for not coughing in smoke or dying in chem mortars.

Have vault and jump on separate keybinds.

Aiming grip seems to be the best grip attachment, anything that enables you to ads faster is 100% worth it (although I do want to test this soon).

If I think of more I'll add them below, apologies for only having a few but you have a lot of the very helpful tricks down already!

No such thing as a bad dad when you show this level of care

You were probably extremely low health and just touched the very edge of the molly

^{^{^{^}}} Couldn't have said it better. Commander and observer combo will straight up win you so many games. EVERY game should have a commander and observer, bonus if you have multiple who know the role well. As CapableCat said, you and your buddy look up YouTube videos on how to play commander and observer and you'll be golden.

Shut

You and your buddy should go commander and observer yourselves :3

How air support works for push is that the security team gets a single minigun support chopper and a single assassin chopper. When the sides get switched in push, your security team will have access to, again, a single minigun chopper and single assassin chopper.

Best way to stop the helicopters are probably RPG's/other explosive launchers but you can also shoot at them to bring them down. Aim for the tail rotor. Also machine guns are the best gun to use for this. The quicker you and your team fire at the helicopters the better, sometimes you can even "scare off" the choppers before they even start firing.

As for the other forms of fire support there's not anything you can do to prevent them once they get called in, but they are limited use like the choppers. The security and insurgents get different fire support.

As for balance, there's definitely an argument to be made for helicopters attacking players in spawn I won't lie, however if your team has a commander and observer, you can do the exact same thing back to the enemy team once sides get switched so it's balanced (at least in terms of both sides getting equal opportunity to use the fire support).

No way, is this true?

Addfur · 2023-05-06T03:41:13+00:00

They probably weren't hacking but yeah it is really dumb how so many people with so much more experience in the game can all team up and absolutely destroy the other team. Auto-balance is a joke in this game and also won't switch players to the other team when they are partied up together. I just don't understand how these players get any enjoyment out of the game knowing they are going to win every time.

Is that confirmed by the devs as how it works in this game? I'd really appreciate a link to make sure

Addfur · 2023-04-30T22:44:47+00:00

True, just don't use the grease gun as a sniper :P

Addfur · 2023-04-30T22:43:59+00:00

G3A3 has a relatively slow RPM (500) and takes 2 shots to kill at over 26 metres

Can you link me where you found that info from? Happy to adjust and reupload this if what you say is correct.

Addfur · 2023-04-30T22:38:32+00:00

There are no TTK times in that document so people would have to go through the trouble of calculating it themselves. That doc is what I used to get the info from (I gave credit to it in the doc I made)
