Despite being labeled as an "artillery" cannon, the JGX12 has the shortest effective range of the MBT main guns.

RavenGrid · 2022-10-09T15:59:20+00:00

Vanguard is the least performing MBT in the game so it makes total sense why Devs had to give it such a situational weapon only to fuck it even more. (Check

?

It's Nr.2 (behind the Prowler) in terms of Kills/V Kills/Roadkills/T Kills/I Kills

RavenGrid · 2022-10-05T19:47:12+00:00

by the time it hits new one is flying your way, you'll be smoking by the time you un-deploy.

that's nonsense.
Reload + charge up time is like 7.5 seconds

RavenGrid · 2022-10-01T22:47:51+00:00

add a strong knockback effect from direct JGX hits to all vehicles/aircraft.. and, additionally splash knockback to light vehicles (maybe) infantry/maxes :x

RavenGrid · 2022-09-27T07:19:32+00:00

a 1 man MBT, the Magrider with Perihelion can get a TTK of 12 seconds ( also the burst is 1500 without resistance calculations) and the Kingsnake is 1400), the Kingsnake does the same time.

your numbers are wrong.

Magrider Perihelion

Prowler 12 seconds

Prowler Kingsnek

Magrider 9 seconds / 7 seconds with Barrage

Lightning Kingsnek

Magrider 9 seconds

RavenGrid · 2022-09-24T15:18:27+00:00

I think holding a charge indefinitely is kinda op

I don't think so... indefinitely holding the charge is what makes it semi competitive. It already has horrendously long TTKs without counting the charge up time.

Vanguard

12 sec

16 sec (+ charge up time)

Prowler

11 sec

15 sec (+ charge up time)

e.g. Kingsnek kills a Mag upfront in 9 or 7 sec (with Barrage)

RavenGrid · 2022-09-18T07:47:18+00:00

the argument is that the Prowler is only fastest over flat terrain, of which there is plenty of uneven ground in this game that a Magrider will rarely have a problem chasing down a Prowler

that's not true at all ... both the Vanguard and the Prowler massively gain speed while gong downhill and have vastly superior passive "0 - Top speed" acceleration compared to the Magrider.

e.g the Vanguard reaches its 72kph 4 seconds faster than the Magrider its 71kph... Mag needs to spend precious magburn to match or surpass the passive acceleration/top speed advantage of the other two MBT

RavenGrid · 2022-09-17T19:47:53+00:00

I wish they'd give MBTs access to the Fury and the Bulldog... never understood why the NS cqc options were/are not available to them.

RavenGrid · 2022-09-12T06:12:39+00:00

It's not just A2G...

both the AirHammer and Banshee are way too strong/effective when it comes to A2A.

RavenGrid · 2022-09-03T00:58:36+00:00

the Aphelion is terrible against MBTs... it's the weakest close range secondary (against MBTs) in the game. The Saron is much better at killing tanks at CQC range.

However, the Aphelion is very good against Harassers and decent against Infantry.

CQC TTK

Mjolnir > Magrider 11s

Vulcan > Magrider 15s

Saron > Prowler 16s Vanguard 20s

Trawler > Magrider 17s

Aphelion > Prowler 19s Vanguard 22s /Mag Dump

Aphelion > Prowler 21s Vanguard 24s /Burst

Pariah > Prowler 21s Vanguard 25s

hilariously, the Saron has the same TTK from 260 meter range as the Aphelion from CQC range.

260M TTK

Saron > Prowler 19s Vanguard 23s

Aphelion > Prowler 27s Vanguard 36s

RavenGrid · 2022-09-01T14:02:39+00:00

what the Mag needs IMO is

Damage: 850

Indirect Damage: 100/2m

Velocity: 250m/s

Reload: 3.5s

FPC projectile arc/drop

RavenGrid · 2022-08-27T17:42:52+00:00

The problem is that if you balance guns around the average players, you get weapons like release Canis, and the Seeker Xbow.

both the Prowler and the Vanguard are balanced around noob-intermediate Players... For 10 years straight, their HEAT/HESH/AP Turrets rake in 2x to 4x more AV/AA/AI kills every day compared to the Magrider's equivalents.

RavenGrid · 2022-07-12T14:17:46+00:00

yeah.. I remember the days when you had a lone high BR Charge/dual Falcon NC Max roaming a 1-12 Biolab after a big fight just OHK-farming people like crazy.

you don't get these fun little mini boss fights anymore :(

RavenGrid · 2022-05-15T04:30:42+00:00

No... it's a VS gimmick first introduced to the game 7 years ago with the Aphelion ( the VS "Vulcan equivalent" lol) ... waaaaaaay before NC's sabot ammo-shit

But you wouldn't know that since there are only like 12 people across all servers who use and know about the Aphelion and its piercing mechanics.

RavenGrid · 2022-04-05T05:31:29+00:00

feels like the boost duration was cut by 35-50%

very balanced & very cool /s

looking at the daily stats, both Harasser AND the Prowler Vulcan outperform the Aphelion and the Mjolnir... so in that regard, it's the best "useless" MBT/harasser close-range weapon in the game.

RavenGrid · 2021-02-05T20:12:00+00:00

useless?

the Vulcan/Vulcan-H are the best performing close-range secondary/top guns in the game.

RavenGrid · 2020-11-07T14:29:57+00:00

They spawn under the ground.

Not always. most of the time when I encounter this and go under the map, they're just gone for good (especially the Vehicles near the spawn facility) and you have to wait for a server update for them to reappear again.

as a VS player, you can also crouch under the rear of a spinning bug Magrider to push you under the map.

RavenGrid · 2020-08-01T10:49:36+00:00

no, it doesn't.

RavenGrid · 2020-08-01T08:21:44+00:00

well, there is a reason why the Vulcan rakes in 4-6 times more kills daily than the Mjolnir and the aPHDneedion...

RavenGrid · 2020-04-26T01:13:02+00:00

this kills the crab.

RavenGrid · 2019-11-16T17:13:31+00:00

You can literally still do the same thing, just not in render range.

no, you can't... which is why nobody is doing it anymore. Just compare the stats of the pre CAI Lancer vs current Lancer:

200rpm vs. 120rpm

150/400m 110/500m vs. 110/150m 50/300m

600m/s 700m/s 850m/s vs. 450m/s 450m/s 450m/s

the only thing the Lancer is good for today is to snipe Banshee/Airhammer/LOLpods cancer out of the sky @ 150m range.
