Q: How are the sides generally?

[Determinado]

How are the sides generally?
Is it as i suppose them to be;

NC Slower, Medium Damage and High Range

TR Faster, High Damage but Low Range

VS Medium speed, Damage sometimes very high and sometimes very low (vs. some things) and range medium

Or am i wrong somewhere? Tell me plz,
there should be somekind of balance that tells
me, its generally so i'm talking about all
kinds of guns and vehicles that are side specific,
and a VS player can't get a MAX Armor, or does it?

[Zatrais]

I doubt the weapons will have a big range difference... other than that i agree.

[Sputty]

NC has the most damage per shot. TR has the fastest rate of fire and VS's weapons are faster travelling. Very little range difference I'd think

[simba]

rofl!
omfg:whip:

[Kalam]

TR is also the slowest and got the best armor.

[Hellsfire123]

NC has the highest armor, VS has low recoil, TR has high ROF.

NC does more dmg, VS is very manuverable, TR....has high ROF.

Why does anyone want to be TR? im just curious.

[Sputty]

Heh, NC doesn't have highest armor. TR does from the looks of it. You jsut randomly said they do.

[simba]

highest armor? So.... the TR is higher than the NC? :lol:

[simba]

nah I know what u mean, TR has heavier/bigger armor, not NC,
right? So

armor TR>NC>VS

ROF TR>VS>NC

DMG per shot NC>VS?>TR

agility VS>NC>TR

recoil VS>NC>TR
???
guessing....

[Sputty]

I think the DMG per shot between VS and TR are about equal.

[Hellsfire123]

im almost positive that the NC max has higher armor then TR max, not counting his shields. Why would the most damaging empire have lower armor?

[Zatrais]

ehrm....

You think the NC has the most damage pr shot, most armor AND decent speed.... hehe.

Why wouldn't the NC have the most armor also, balance. Hitting harder than everyone else and beeing able to take the most damage and having the speed to get away... ain't happening.

[Sputty]

Well, reading info on the TR prowler it has higher armor, so the TR probably has more armor. You have no argument other than you think.

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, we had a whole discussion about this in the tank thread. We came to a semi-consensus that TR has the best armor.

[�io]

VS has the best armor, the best speed, the best firepower and the best RoF.





What ?! That's not true ??


Dammit! Ok who told the devs to balance the empires ??!! :mad:

[Sputty]

:lol:

[Bighoss]

The Vanu could defiently have the best weapons. Obivously much easier to hit with espically the pulsar its shots maybe not as powerful as the NC or as fast as the TR but will be able to hit more accuratley which could prove to be extremely deadly in the battlefield

BTW I am neatrul on my team I don't know who I'm gonna be so don't think I'm just saying this cuz I love the vanu.

[Streamline]

Does it matter???
The screens just gonna look like this anyhow.

Well i just started this thread becus, you know, everyone seems to be choosing NC and some VS but NONE seem to be choosing the TR, but hell, they should be balanced and since not much information about that seems to be released, i don't think you can say i'll be NC, just becus they look very professional...

I'd rather be TR actually, just because they seem like the best when it comes to infantry, i don't know why but it just looks like... The weapons don't tell much, just Low/Medium/High damage...
Not very interesting to take a look at in somekind of graph, cuz you wont see any balance in that (also not all weapons are known to us, silly non-b�tatesters :p )

So i'd loved to see a graph seeing every vehicles and weapons and every object available in planetside with rather exact numbrs,
just like the Shotgun does 25Damage with every bullet, and some Machinegun does 15Damage with every bullet, and on and on, i can't choose yet, but when it comes to it... i guess

:trrocks:

Mehehehehe...

[Zatrais]

theres plenty of TR supporters here... tho the NC outnumber us.

As for damage numbers.... really few has been released. I think theres only 1 shot that shows anny damage in numbers and thats a galaxy getting hit by missiles.. sparrows i think.

[Sputty]

Plenty are choosing TR. CDL is TR and on the polls TR wins.

[Determinado]

TR looks somelike the NOD in renegade or more like the badguys with more realistic vehicles and massdestructive stuff :p

[Streamline]

VS are the underdogs. TR outfits seem more organized ATM. NC also has some impressive outfits.

[Nightmare]

Yeah, we VS are being mocked for our leader's poor choice of color, but we'll show everyone when they game starts. Chaos will rain down upon you like the typhoon we are! MWA HA HA!!! But really, I have a feeling VS will do just fine.

[NeoTassadar]

Even if we are outnumbered, that means bonus exp, bonus health/armor or whatever devs think is appropriate, and it will force commanders to get smarter.
