Can the Vanu hold their own in direct combat?

I have been considering all factions, but at the moment I am liking the looks of the Scythe and the VS tank, making me lean towards VS.

Damage Output is the same, except for Vanu which have other advantages mitigating their lack of power at long ranges, such lowrecoil no bullet drop and extreme bullet velocity.

Spray and pray might be the best if you don't have clear aim or if you plan on sustained fire or if you simply like rate of fire and clip size which is very handy against many targets at once, or when you dont want to reload each 5 seconds.

with NC you MUST have clear Aim with certain weapons like pistols, also each shot you miss with an NC gun will have bigger impact on the TimeTtoKill a target

Yes The VS can hold thier own in direct combat!! but you might need to remind them to shake afterwards

The VS have projectiles that travel extremely fast and that are extremely accurate. The scythe and magrider are particuarly interesting as well.

I have done my research.
Years of play and hundreds of Vanu under my boot. ^_^

But thats just what I observed. They are all lasher noobs anyway

direct combat vs. subterfuge is more a class vs. class thing than than a faction vs. faction thing

That. ^
