I finished the Uppcut and the baron, what should I try to work on next? I am a fan of heavier faster damage weapons usually and I am kinda iffy on the barrage and haymaker but have little experience with the blackjack and nighthawk.

Night hawk is full auto, blackjack is like the uppercut but worse apparently? From what I can tell the haymaker is a smaller spread barrage with more ammo, but I haven't looked at specifics.

Bluh, sounds like I might take a break from shotguns for a bit then. I guess ill give nighthawk a try sounds like it might be fun.

>>121118793
Nighthawk is a shitter haymaker/barrage, you just don't need to manually click. Fire rate, and I'm pretty sure spread, are worse.

If you've any skill at FPS's, then the haymaker/barrage are more or less straight upgrades.

How's the game compared to 12 months ago, did it go in the right direction? Are any Australian servers still populated senpai? (Briggs?)

>>121121324
It's more or less the same, but there's been a few changes lately (continent lock bonuses and conditions) and some upcoming content (ANTs which are kind of awful but w/e).

The Cougar was intended to be an NC-esque Carbine for the TR.

ANT? What is this ANT business you anons keep talking about?

Wait, logistics? In my planetmans? Oh man, my autism is tingling. I'll finally get to do something other than driving a sunderer. I do wish the game had more in the sense of logistics / non-combat stuff.

Anyone have a video of the new butcher firing with it's spinup?

>>121124931
Well unlike in PS1 where it was used to refill power at bases, in PS2 it will be used for building AV and AA turrets and hopefully/eventually more base building and resource harvesting.

>>121125005
Well, at least it's a start I guess.

I'm new to the game, and suck at pretty much all of it, the only thing that brings me some amount of enjoyment out of this clusterfuck, is driving a sunderer and supporting groups, rearming and repairing, that sort of thing.

>>121125001
It's unnoticeable.

>>121125086
PS1 was a lot friendlier to that sort of playstyle. It's a shame that they gutted most of it for PS2.

>>121126684
The playerbase embraced them gutting it, though.

Remember at release when Galaxies would still just chill at the warpgate to ferry people around?

>>121126793
>Remember at release when Galaxies would still just chill at the warpgate to ferry people around?


Yup, then the playerbase realized that the devs crammed 3 times as many bases as there should be per continent to the point that they are in walking distance of each other and transport logistics were not needed.

The devs should have listened to us PS1 vets...

Is vulcan for harasser is even worth buying anymore / does anyone know if any time to kill stats exist? I tested it out in VR, and it felt pretty similar in terms of time to kill to the memekeeper, only difference is that memekeeper has range advantage.

Let me show you the average fight bigger than 1-12 that I've seen lately, regardless of faction.

>Enemy has 60%+ pop and enough tanks to literally clog the path to A
>They zerg steamroll until your faction decides to stop them
>Then instead of having a fight your faction pulls EVEN MORE TANKS and kills all the spawns, restart from 1 except now it's your faction with the tanks and zerging and instead of getting shelled in a spawn it's your team doing the shelling, fights continue to be shit

Is it seriously too much to ask for a 50-50 fight without there being tanks out the ass/MAXes/airniggers?

>>121139946
but that's retardedly wrong. prowler's pretty good against most things that aren't air

>>121142309
Statistically, the prowler is the best tank at everything besides killing ESFs.

>600/167 has 4% more DEEPS than 577/167, and is widely regarded as the best NC LMG damage model
>780/143 (after spinup) has 4% more DEEPS than 750/143, and it's still underpowered
sasuga shiTR

>>121142475
wouldn't it be the best when anchored against ESFS?

>>121142951
No, because you still need two shots to kill, compared to the vannie's one.

>>121142951
No. While anchor definitely is a huge help, you still need to hit two shots instead of one, and if you pause for a bit to line up the second shot, any non-retarded ESF is going to boost off and start convulsing.
However, valks, libs and gals don't have that kind of maneuverability, and wouldn't get OHKd by a vannie or FPC anyway, so having higher DEEPS, as well as being way less penalising for missed shots, makes the prowler vastly superior at that.

>>121142951
The only time it was best against ESFs is when they accidently made the velocity increase from lock down 600% instead of 60%. That was the best 2 hours of PS2 for the TR.

They sure fixed that shit fast though.....then shortly after left ZOE in the game for 6 months in its wildly OP state.

And people wonder why TR have a victim complex.

Quit crying you faggot, one was a design fault, the other was a typo.
It's like the difference between an ex quake pro with arbitrarily high stats and fastmemoryman, surely you wouldn't expect the devs to treat them the same way?

Did I make a mistake by going Vanu Sovereignty, is that what every goes as?

>>121143493
>Quit crying you faggot, one was a design fault, the other was a typo.

They both took about 35 seconds in a spreadsheet to fix though.

Is it normal for vehicle and air aiming to feel very sluggish? It seems like there is a quarter to a half second of lag between when I move my mouse and when a turret or aircraft actually responds. Same thing happens happens in AV and AA turrets, but not the MANA deployables. Are they supposed to be as responsive as aiming with infantry? I consistently have high framerate so I know that isn't the issue. Do I just need to git gud?

>>121143602
Yes, it's normal.
AND you need to git gud.

>>121143530
Not really

If you're new to planetside they have the most forgiving weapons out of any faction

>>121143530
They're the cockgoblins of planetside and have the best traits and weapons, which is why all the mlg players play VS.

If you enjoy montages, wubstep, and tryhards screaming in your ear that you're doing it wrong, play VS.

Earlier I accidentally teamkilled 10 people with c4 and everyone started yelling allahu ackbar over the mic

It has effective 0.36 horizontal tolerance with foregrip equipped. This is long range assault rifle tier.
Orion for example has 0.54 effective tolerance.

>>121155781

Thats without headshots. Just pure damage output.

200 and 167 damage weapons drop more DPS on range than 143 weapons.

The zergfits are dead. All the good players that used to be part of them have split in to small elite outfits. That leaves noobs and shitters to either run squadless, or be lead by someone so green they don't even have a mic, let alone command chat certification. Once one of these new players actually gets good, they naturally want to find a small elite outfit so they can learn advanced skills like destroying your own vehicle to deny kills.

The metagame of player management is dead, and caring about stats killed it.

What should I invest it in? I've been playing mostly infil and medic and have both almost maxed. Been trying out engie and raping ass in a Magrider, but I'm not sure that's my thing.

Flying is out of the question because I don't want to grind 3k+ more certs just so I can stay in the air for longer that 5 minutes.

I've been trying out the Vandal and like it alot. Should I get it? I love going out as infiltrator and just running around knifing and sniping NC scum.

I would be on board with this if it were some WW2 shooter where wear and tear will kill bright colors on tanks. But this is PS2. Nanomachines build these tanks brand new the moment you order them, and eat them up shortly after they're destroyed. Why do they just build them with dulled colors?

This can't be blamed on the players. People naturally gravitate towards the play style that favours them the best. It's Daybreak's fault for not providing more incentives to lead large platoons. Even in the old days, platoon leading was largely a burden that people didn't want.

Leading a zerg is not only extra effort with no reward, but it actually punishes you because surrounding yourself with sub-optimal players means you're going to die a lot more and hurt your stats.

It can't just be blamed on the statwhore mentality. It's poor game design.

Maggie's ass is amazing, but come on anon, that's just weird.

>>121169491

>>121169640
>flashing blue and purple lights blend in with the ground
ok anon

>>121169640
because players just want to rush the important points and don't think to check walls/corners, even when infiltrators are obviously about.

>>121169491
Here's how the average TR typically uses claymores:

>Be at tower fight where TR is getting zerged (pretty much always)

>Run out top floor doorway and drop claymore off of landing platform

>Multi-Kill+ every time


Here's how NC/VS use their mines:

>Place mine at random ass fucking base 6 hexes behind the front lines

>45 minutes later get 1 kill

>>121169837
>ultrasettings.jpg

>>121169640
>Claymores are easy as shit to see
Not when:
1. You can't see round corners
2. Their beams don't render
3. The mines themselves don't render a lot of the time

>>121170018
>1. You can't see round corners
you can though, just press q to spot it through the corner

also they render just as much as the other mines

>>121170018
Prox mines/betty's don't render a lot of the time either, and their beams NEVER render because they don't exist.

>>121169979

Why are so much better than VS and NC?
Imagine what TR could do if we had competitive equipment to fight on even terms with dramatically overpowered VS/NC gear.

>>121170240
But they ALWAYS glow and don't insta-splode.
Claymores do INSTANT damage so you can't just run past and be safe.
>>121170239
>EHEHEHEHEHE PRESS Q NON STOP ANON XDDD PRESS Q NON STOP XDDD

They also have a longer activation range and do more damage so you can't skirt the edge of the blast and survive like you can with Betties/Proxies.

BULL FUCKING SHIT. When I play Vanu I do substantially better, SUBSTANTIALLY! It does no comparison.

Do you run faster with the pistol?

>>121173815
use the optic that works best for you, 1x is the one with less percieved recoil fuckery, the other ones get more of that the more x you get, but it don't matter get what works for you

>>121173815
Consistency is key, it also depends on your FOV, if you play at full retard 74 then 2X is probably going to be better. The way the game calculates sensitivity for each zoom level completely ruins muscle memory if you switch often, pick one and use it across the board.
>>121173896

People who think Vanu is OP don't know the history of Planetside. In PS1 the Jackhammer, MCG, and Lasher were the only endgame weapons. The MCG and Jackhammer COMPLETELY outclassed the Lasher because the Lasher would fucking spray everywhere. Vanu players had to adopt superior skill and strategy to survive.

Even to this day, the Lasher will always lose to the MCG and Jackhammer, but because PS2 has more weapon variety, the Lasher is no longer holding the VS back.

Vanu once had to work twice as hard as the TR and NC to achieve the same results. Now that there's a more even playing field, VS are naturally going to dominate.
